| - So we finally tried Bachi Burger! Another bookmark to check off of my list!
Bachi Burger has been on my radar since I saw it DDD on the Food Network. We were finally in the neighborhood and hungry at the same time, so we popped in for lunch. When we walked in, the place was almost empty, but the hostess (who thought very highly of herself, if I do say so) said we needed to wait to be seated for a while. We weren't in a hurry, so we waited, but thought it was weird. We were finally seated 5 minutes later at a table that had been empty and clean the entire time. We then waited at least 5 minutes for our server to come by to get our drink order. When she came back with our drinks we were ready to order since we had been there quite some time by this point.
We ordered the Mr. Ho's burger and the Miyagi-san burger with the sea salt and pepper garlic fries. The burgers were quite yummy and we liked the different flavors going on, but they weren't extremely special. We did really like them though. The fries were good as well, but not anything spectacular. I didn't taste any garlic, onion sea salt, or really anything exciting. They tasted like fries from a regular fast food joint, not gourmet fancy fries.
The prices seem to be really high here as well. I get that they are uber-modern, doing the hip fusion menu thing, and you have been on the Food Network, but I expected a little more umph for the price. Our burgers were $10 and $13.5 dollars and we had to pay another $4 for fries. The burgers were delish and probably worth the price, but I think the mediocre fries could have been thrown in, instead of a side item to add on.
As for our service, all I can say is ugh! I don't know what it is with my hubby and I, but we always seem to get the worst server in the place for our server. We are so super easy and never high maintenance, especially since I used to work in the restaurant industry for years. Our server just seemed overwhelmed, even though I only saw her waiting on our table and 1 other. She rarely checked on us. I think we saw her 3 times the whole meal. We got better service from surrounding servers, bussers, and the food runners.
So the food warrants a return visit because we did enjoy it. I just hope we get a better server and tastier fancy fries.
