In August 2023 (Temporarily closed since September 2025) , Seattle’s Lil Woody’s Burgers & Shakes opened its first international location in Shibuya, introducing Tokyo to a burger experience that has long been a community staple. Known for its motto that “Lil Woody’s has never been just another burger joint,” the restaurant brings with it a philosophy that values people and culture as much as the food itself.
The Shibuya location delivers exactly that balance. Guests can dive into signature items like the Lil Woody—a classic cheeseburger built with a grass-fed beef patty, Tillamook cheddar, onions, pickles, and housemade sauce—or go bolder with creations such as the Big Woody with bacon, or the Fig and the Pig topped with fig jam, blue cheese, and crispy bacon. Fries, onion rings, and creamy shakes round out the menu, keeping the spirit of Seattle intact while finding a new home in Tokyo.
But what sets Lil Woody’s apart is more than what’s on the plate. The brand has already started making an impact locally, collaborating with professional basketball player Josh Hawkinson and rapper Miyachi on limited-time menu items, while also supporting the city’s creative community through donations, events, and partnerships with emerging artists. It’s this mix of culinary creativity and cultural engagement that has made Lil Woody’s a beloved name in Seattle—and now, a welcome establishment in Shibuya.
With its friendly two-floor space, fresh ingredients, and commitment to meaningful collaborations, Lil Woody’s Shibuya is quickly establishing itself as more than just a place to eat. It’s a cultural hub—one where food, music, and community meet under the same roof.
