About

Soi Lengkee has quietly become Central Pattaya’s food strip, and Hunger Pangs is one of the reasons. It’s a compact burger joint — a few tables inside under air-con, a few more on the terrace — that does one thing with real conviction: burgers made from 100% imported Australian beef, ground and pattied in-house, plus hotdogs built on daily-ground Cumberland sausage.

The reviews read like burger-forum posts, which is a good sign. “Big, juicy, and packed with flavor” is the recurring theme on TripAdvisor; Pattaya food vloggers have repeatedly filed it under “possibly the best burger in town”. It scores around 4.0 overall — dragged down less by the burgers than by the sides, of which more below.

The core menu is short and confident, with a build-your-own system layered on top — pick a base, then add bacon, extra patties, cheese and toppings at per-item prices. Highlights from recent listings:

  • Pang’s signature burger — two beef patties, smoked bacon, two slices of cheese and salad, around ฿179 at last check. The default order.
  • Triple cheeseburger — three Australian-beef patties, fried onions, double cheese, about ฿185. For the committed.
  • Cumberland hotdogs — the sausage is ground daily in-house; the sleeper hit for repeat visitors.
  • Cajun fries — the side to order; one reviewer called them “the tastiest fries I have ever had”.
  • Salted caramel milkshake — the most-name-checked drink on the menu.

A realistic spend is roughly ฿300–500 per person for a loaded burger, upgraded fries and a shake — cheap for imported beef at this quality. The honest caveats: the standard fries are ordinary (multiple reviews say so; pay the upgrade), and the sauce selection is thinner than burger obsessives would like. Menus and prices change — the figures above are from recent listings, so check the menu board on arrival.

Hours

Open daily from around 14:00 until about 02:00. That schedule tells you what it is: a dinner and late-night operation. If you’re stumbling off Soi Buakhao after midnight and want real food rather than a convenience-store toastie, this is one of the area’s best answers. No breakfast, no lunch.

Location & getting there

Hunger Pangs is at 312/70 Soi Lengkee, the increasingly food-focused soi running between Third Road and Soi Buakhao in Central Pattaya:

  • From Soi Buakhao: enter Soi Lengkee near the market end and walk west; the burger joint is along the strip among the bars and restaurants.
  • From Third Road: enter Soi Lengkee heading east.
  • By Grab/Bolt: search “Hunger Pangs Pattaya” — it pins correctly.

Good to know

Soi Lengkee has turned into a compact food crawl, and Hunger Pangs works well as one stop among several — the soi holds breakfast cafés, Thai kitchens and bars within a two-minute walk, so a burger here pairs naturally with drinks either side. The build-your-own board rewards a strategy: reviewers who stack a base burger with bacon and an extra patty consistently rate it better value than ordering two separate burgers. Terrace tables are prime real estate in the evening; inside is the play during afternoon heat or rain. Delivery riders collect from the shopfront regularly, so if you’re staying nearby and can’t face the walk, check the local Grab/Foodpanda listings. And if it’s your first visit, the owner’s namesake Pang’s burger is the honest benchmark — judge the place on that before experimenting.

Before you go

The burger menu includes build-your-own options alongside the signature burgers and hotdogs. Check the current menu and closing time before a late-night trip, and compare the price of sides and additions before ordering.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews

Full overview

Hunger Pangs is a burger specialist on Soi Lengkee in Central Pattaya, and a strong contender in the endless 'best burger in Pattaya' argument. The pitch is simple: 100% imported Australian beef, patties smashed and stacked to order, plus daily-ground Cumberland-sausage hotdogs — served from early afternoon until around 2am, which makes it one of the better late-night feeds in this part of town. The build-your-own format is the draw: start with a base burger and pile on bacon, cheese and extras, or go straight for the signature Pang's burger (double patty, smoked bacon, double cheese, around ฿179 at last check) or the triple cheeseburger (about ฿185). Sides split opinion — the Cajun fries and salted-caramel milkshakes get rave mentions, while the standard fries are the most common gripe. There's a small air-conditioned room plus terrace seating for watching Soi Lengkee go by. TripAdvisor scores hover around 4.0 with genuinely enthusiastic burger-nerd reviews; YouTube food channels have crowned it 'possibly the best burger in town' more than once. It's not fancy, and it isn't trying to be — it's a proper burger joint.
