| - Where the new Fuku burger disappoints me is their prices.
Inflation inflation inflation
That's usually the theme of restaurants near the strip, which is why I usually avoid that area like the plague. So when they opened another Fuku near china town off of jones and spring mountain (previously the location of where white rabbit was) I was hoping they'd be a little softer on pricing.
Don't get me wrong, Fuku is good, just not worth $14 for a meal, or $9 for a burger good. When I think fast food, I think cheaper. I can get a full meal at in-n-out for half the price.
But the pros to Fuku is the fun and flavor of the place. Parking is relatively easy, and you can't help but love the idea of having a funny name for your order be called out. Seriously, I much rather pick up an order with pride at the name of "scrotes-mcballstein" than just plain ol' customer number 76..
Their tomago egg burger is really simple but full of flavor, its a must here and it's the only reason I suffer the consequences of $9 a burger.. Their buns are also pretty soft and fluffy to bite into compared to most burger places.
Fuku is fun place to grab a snack if you don't mind paying a little extra for fast food, but when I think fast food, they're usually the last option I think of. Maybe if they didn't fall into the escalated price game, I'd consider giving them a better score.
