| - Tough decision but the Fat Choy burger is my new #1 burger.
I did a search on Yelp Talk in Las Vegas for best burger, and from the multitude of recommendations, I chose to try Fat Choy. Their burger did not disappoint... If you fancy yourself a burger aficionado, you must try theirs!
Fat Choy is a Chinese fusion diner tucked away in the Eureka casino. The unassuming ambience did not undermine my experience...
What is in the burger? 1/2 lb burger patty, braised short rib, cuts of bacon, subtle sweet sauce, fried egg, and a sweet bun (?). Also comes with lettuce and tomato.
Enough short rib but not overpowering the patty--good balance.
Crispy cuts of bacon adds a crunchy texture on some bites. Many burgers that come with bacon don't serve crispy bacon. Instead you take a bite and hope you shear of a clean piece of bacon, but what usually happens is you can't bite off the bacon and end up eating almost the entire strip of bacon in that one mouthful. Fat Choy cooks the bacon to a crisp and cuts the bacon into squares. No need to battle with the bacon for a bite sized piece. While bacon is not listed on the menu description of the burger, I found the crunchy texture to be a wonderful surprise.
The color of the bun was either a potato or a sweat bread bun. Bun--sweet and soft. My favorite type of bun...
In many ways, a perfect burger...
Service was terrific. Diane was friendly, outgoing, and charismatic. Askd many times how i was doing...
I am definitely returning to Fat Choy on future visits to Vegas. I might even try other options such as the pork belly bao which is highly touted in many reviews...
