| - I was excited to try this place out because it had fuku burger. I have always been a fan of the food truck but found it too taxing to try to figure out where the truck was parked, what time and if there was any food left. So basically FAME is the food court at linq. It's a collection of different vendors like beard papa - they have cream puffs and Boba drinks; pizza buddha; fuku burger and an Asian place with just a Chinese character for a name (see pic ) I have no clue why they call this food court "FAME", is it because they think the eateries here are Famous in their own right??? NOT! I gave it 2 stars coz the couple times we went there the place wasn't packed and had plenty of seats available. Also they had utensils and condiments that u could use on each table. The fountain drinks were also self serve. If not for these I would've given it a 1 star.
Ok so 1.)"BEARD PAPA" - they are supposedly famous for their cream puffs, I tried the chocolate one with vanilla cream, it was good but no wow factor especially at almost $4 a piece. It wasn't too sweet which is good. I tried their drinks as well, milk tea was good and mango slush was good, the drinks are huge and this is the only size it comes in avg at 10$/ drink. So ya it's going to be a pretty expensive snack!
2.) FUKU BURGER - my all time faves have always been the tamago burger, the spicy burger, Naga dog and the togarashi fries. Please note that they cook their burgers medium so If u don't like seeing pink in your burgers u can specify how you want the meat cooked. I am sad to say though that although the food was still good the quality of food I had that day was below par. I had asked for my spicy burger to be medium well, it came out well done, also the fries were a bit on the overcooked side. On top of the food coming out about 20 mins. Later they had shorted us an order of the Katsu burger which he had forgotten to dispute since we were so hungry already and the kids were driving us nuts. So that was $10 for nothing. And yes... the burgers and hot dogs avg at around $10 per item and no fries or drink included, they have fountain drinks available at $10/drink coz it's in a so called "souvenir cup". So better get ur soda elsewhere. So bottom line... was not impressed anymore and got the craving out of my system.
3.) "No name chinese/thai/Japanese identity crisis - ish " this is the place that has a Chinese character for a name. I think they did this on purpose so that it's harder to bad mouth and criticize them. So the first time we tried fried rice- which was the only delicious item we tried, but it wasn't even that amazing my standards, definitely not $12 amazing coz that's how much it was for one plate that is good for about 1 1/2 ppl maybe. Shrimp dumplings - the wrapper was too thick and it had 2 tiny pcs. Of shrimp in it which was falling apart when u bit into it. So when u eat it u have to eat it in one big bite and u get a mouth full of the wonton wrapper. Gyozas- wrapper also very thick and the ground pork filling was falling apart as well. UDON SOUP - soup base was a dark brown color and did not taste good at all... at least the noodles were edible. Ramen - the soup tasted fishy and too salty. BBQ pork platter - this one was the worst, it took them almost 1 hour to serve this and when I tried the BBQ pork I had to SPIT IT OUT! it was just nasty! It had a very weird after taste, I could not make myself swallow it in fear that I might regurgitate. The dishes here range from $10-$15 per serving. service was also very slow and they bring ur dishes out at different intervals. This place definitely needs to train the cooks better.
So overall impression of FAME... i love the ambience, but it is way over priced and it feels like all they are after is the consumers money without delivering good quality and service. It's like a Walmart pretending to be a Nordstrom and charging Nordstrom prices. Very slow service, so if you are in a hurry, good luck to you! Very disorganized, also no sink to wash your hands not even hand sanitizer stations. And they expect you to tip them too? Tsk tsk tsk... i am better off spending my money elsewhere where I can at least get my money's worth.
