Tabelog ratingMany locals and international visitors consider codie's (コディーズ) to serve one of the best burgers in Yokohama. The magic is in the balance: a coarse-ground, meaty patty is paired with a memorable tomato-mayonnaise 'aurora' sauce and a light, slightly sweet bun from the well-regarded Ponpadour bakery. The result is a deeply satisfying, classic American-style burger that has earned the shop a loyal following and consistent recognition.
Guests consistently praise the juicy texture of the patties and the harmony of the ingredients. The Cheese Burger is a popular choice, with reviewers recently paying around ¥1,570. Other standout items include the Onion Mushroom Burger (around ¥1,595) and the Smoked Bacon Mozzarella Burger (reported at ¥2,101). The crisp fries, fresh coleslaw, and house-made lemonade also receive frequent compliments. While a minority of diners find it a bit pricey compared to chain restaurants, the overwhelming consensus is that the quality and portion size offer excellent value.
The main drawback is the restaurant's size. It's a very small space, and its popularity means queues are common, especially at peak times, with waits of 15–30 minutes. A few isolated reviews have mentioned an overcooked patty or curt service, but these are exceptions to the generally positive feedback.
