I've been a fan of Fuku ever since the first time I stopped by the Foodtruck at a Westside Wednesday event years ago. Since then I've stalked their truck on numerous occasion and various events. It honestly feels a little weird to be able to sit down at a table and enjoy a Fuku meal.I think that they should put a set of Home Depot buckets in the restaurant somewhere.
I can proudly say that the quality and taste is the same as you would have found on the Fuku truck that made its brand famous.
My default order here is:
Karai (Spicy) Burger: topped cucumbers, peppers and avocado cream (I think)
Jazzy Fries
The Lady
Tamago Burger: fuku burger with nori, fried onions and egg
Regular fries w/ crack sauce on the side.
The burgers here have an asian flare to them but are not obnoxiously off the wall in any way that would detract from the burger or turn off the burger purist. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Bachi but t's unfair to compare Bachi to Fuku as they are very distinct and different with their creations. I think Fuku creations are delicious because of their subtleness with asian flair which results in well balanced flavors. Take for instance the wasabi mayo and the avocado cream sauces don't overpower the burger but rather accentuate the burger and its toppings.
I know that this sounds like fancy food snob talk but it's the truth. If you don't believe me then go and try Fuku for yourself. If you don';t trust me then go Fuku yourself but add a c and subtract u.
Eat with confidence.
