Cigarette smoke

Calling the "spicy kimchi fries" spicy Sauerkraut fries would be more accurate. Took 15min to prepare. While I was waiting inside, the smoke from their smoking area got inside and the toilet is next to the only tables. People were always running back and forth and standing next to the tables to use the bathroom or go to the smoking area. Not a nice experience

Pros: Some vegan options

Cons: Atmosphere uninviting , Cigarette Smoke smell, Toilet right next to tables

Tasty vegan options with a twist

There were many vegan choices, we had falafel burgers, another kind of burger and two types of fries: one with kimchi and one with peanut butter sauce. I never had fries with peanut butter sauce and they were amazing, everything else was as well. Nice music too!

Pros: Tasty surprising options , Atmosphere , Affordable

The best food & drink combo I had in a while

Its a rather small but busy place full of young people enjoying their night. Come here alone and meet people or come with your friends to enjoy cheap drinks and great food. I had the Dan Dan noodles which are crazy value! Was unable to finish the meal as the bartender already guessed, as most of the people ordering it take the rest with them, he said.

I really loved the spot just for the food alone.

Pros: Cheap food & drinks, Great atmosphere, Nice staff

Nice burger joint

Little rough looking, but cozy place. Falafel burger was great, and fries were too. Bonus points for playing trip hop on the speakers!

Very alternative looking fast food place 😂

Food is delicious and generous portions. Tried falafel burger and kimchi fries.
Music was a bit too loud at times, but that’s pretty much where the criticism stops😄

Great Junk Food, Place is quite huge including terrace

Found this nice shack offering vegan Asian food. Tried the Gyoza and noodles, and they were really good! Service was fast as well. If there are only a few people at the restaurant, they provide table service as well. Restaurant has a nice 80s vibe, we loved it. Definitely recommend for cheap and tasty Asian junk food!

Awesome place to have a quick lunch, nothing fancy

Update:
Place stinks with mold smell. I would recommend to take food to go.


They have nice collection of vegan options like falafel burger, laksa soup, kimchi fries with tofu. I have tried all of there vegan options! They are all delicious! Laksa soup is to kill for. You can get free tap water. Prices are reasonable.

They have awesome terrace behind. Don't forget to check it out.

They don't have table service. Please make sure to cleanup after yourself.

Pros: Friendly and cute staff, Good value

Cons: Tofu could be bigger size in Laksa soup

Ymmy burgers with asian twist

Small and personal bar with the best fries in Tallinn. Try Kimchi fries and Falafel burger- they are vegan and tasty. Söi vegan options are marked clearly on the menu. This is a must!

Pros: Tasty & big portions , Friendly staff, Good drafted beverages

A burger which is worth buying

The falafel burger tastes amazing and the price is moderate but had to wait about 30 minutes for it.
It's better to take away food here cause place itself is tiny

Pros: Friendly staff, Price

Cons: Tiny, Waiting time

Falafel burger

There is only few options altogether on the menu, and falafel burger and/or fries the only vegan. Clearly stated on the wall though.

It was quite tasty, albeit impossible to eat by hand. It messed my hands, face and almost shirt too. It had garlic sauce, beetroot and red cabbage among other more common ingredients.

Pros: Big burger

Cons: 6 euros for just a burger is quite expensive on, Tallinn scale.

Super hipster

We came to try Burger Box after reading reviews online. I found that it's so pretentious it's almost a parody. If you're into looking grumpy, listening to jazz in a dingy room, eating fries with chopsticks, this is the perfect place for you. The kimchi fries were pretty decent, but nowhere needs to take itself so seriously.

Brilliant falafel burger, perfectly hit the spot and 100% vegan. Can’t stop dreaming. Tried to give 5 stars but it wouldn’t let me because also serves meat.

Order the Kimchi fries!

We've been twice to this place in three days because the Kimchi fries are amazing. Fries, Kimchi, Hot sauce, vegan Mayonnaise and fresh Cilantro.

The waitress seemed a bit annoyed though but we didn't care.

Pros: Good prices , Local IPA (craft beer)

Cons: No toilet

Delicious

Had the laksa soup, it was so delicious and creamy! But the tomato slices in it didn't really fit the soup.
I would've loved to try the burger or the kimchi fries, but we just had food before we visited and needed something warm.

Pros: Good prices

Cons: Small dark place, not that cozy

Addictive

They have some seriously good vegan options like laksa soup (seriously addictive), kimchi fries (also addictive) and a juicy vegan burger (addictive as well). The portions are hefty and the flavours are insane.

Pros: Delicious food, Big portions, Good prices

Cons: Unfriendly staff, Place is not cosy, They sometimes run out of food

Perfect take away option for nights in

This place was epically awesome, and the kimchi fries were out of this world. Seriously, the falafel burger was amazing as well, and their vegan mayo was really great, can't recommend more!

Box to be in!

I saw that Burge Box has no review in Happycow and I had to step in. As I am local, I have visited the place tons of times. The first time I visited, it literally changed my life. This is really good place to go. It is located in the old store/bar front of soviet age little houses right at the corner of Kalamaja. Interior is rough and honest, the guys keeping the place up have paid attention to vegan customers, as at first you had to ask vegan options for kimchi and falafel burgers, but now they just are vegan and thats the bottom line! They serve simple but gourmet level food. Vegan options are falafel burger (delicious + siracha!), fries, KIMCHI FRIES (omg) + for soup lovers LAKSA vietnamise style rice noodle spiciness with awesome block of tofu.

So, I will promise, that you will get a kick out of this place as it is an experience to get! I am diehard and loyal to this place as I get serious craves for this place from time to time.

Dont let the seriousness of the workers scare you off (there are days - yes) It is all to just pan out the ones that are not serious about their food!

Falafel burger 5 euros

Laksha 5 euros

Kimchi 3 euros

Fries 2 euros (garlic and ketchup sides, vegan)

So go, enjoy and be happy!

Pros: Authentic experience, Awesome food, Minimalist
