With disappointment that the Los Angeles location was closed on Yelp imagine my jubilation that there was one nestled in the Linq (tucked away in the F.A.M.E. restaurant)! I am hooked on Fukuburger because one of the infusion of the Japanese culture, but beyond that it's just a damn good burger!
I went ahead and changed things up this go round and selected the buta burger (aka pig burger). It was topped with a hearty couple strips of applewood smoked bacon with japanese BBQ sauce/wasabi mayo and the odd ingredient that packed a punch: red ginger (yes, fact). They do prepare the burger medium rare unless requested otherwise which causes the beef to be so tender and flavorful. It does get a bit messy, but once your knee deep in beef that's an apple/orange situation trust me!
Also with honorable mention was the fuku fries seasoned with garlic salt and something else which I didn't catch, but I believe something of the japanese spice decent which did seem to tease my taste buds with a good time quite well and those are highly recommended to accompany the cow platter!
The price runs about $27 for 2 burgers, fries, and drinks which certainly leaves your wallet feeling like a "grand champion" and the staff was top notch..They were patient as we took our time with the menu and went well beyond their capacity to leave us feeling welcome then and certainly in the future!
They are certainly something new and a stray from the norm of a normal burger for sure, but it is "Fuk"in good so be there and don't grow square!
