| - I am currently in Las Vegas for a DJ convention, and was looking for a simple, chill restaurant that had wonderful service, welcoming hosts, and amazing food. Fuku Burger delivered all this and more, with the topper being a Japanese-inspired joint that spoke volumes to my nerdy anime-loving soul. Walking in, the walls are decorated with rectangular Japanese portraits that are reminiscent of Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Lovers" series. The menu was simple to read, understand, and to select food from. The Kinoko burger with mushrooms and pickled red ginger was juicy with the right amount of tangy crunch--and gone quickly, as it was excellent. The fries with the accompaniments of their notorious "crack" sauce and sweet ketchup were perfectly seasoned and I couldn't get enough of them. Above all this, the staff, led by Elise and Marcus, were wonderful to chat with and made sure this Midwestern man was welcomed. And, I was. I love restaurants that focus on keeping it simple, and this one made me feel right at home. I highly recommend Fuku to anyone, and I hope many will spring up in Chicago and abroad. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
