| - I came to Bachi Burger after seeing many great reviews, and some not so great reviews. Bachi Burger proved to be a great restaurant, with very unique features that make it better than the average restaurant.
I actually went out on a limb and took some friends from out of town to Bachi Burger to show them some unique, but still familiar food in Las Vegas.
We started with the sausage plate, fried chili chicken, and the truffl-parmesan fries. The sausage plate had two types of sausage, both good, but not great; one of the sausages made from kurobuta pork. Both had great texture, but the flavor was good, but very traditional. The fried chili chicken was the best appetizer we had, and the chili-garlic sauce was what made it so special. The chicken was lightly breaded, fried, and coated with a light chili sauce. The sauce was a little spicy, but the dominant flavor is toasted garlic. The truffle-parmesan fries were very good, and were served with a porcini mushroom cream on top. It is also served with a creamy dipping sauce that is very good. Maybe a little more truffle would have made it better, but the fries were very good nonetheless.
For entrees, we had the Rhonin Burger, the Kiki Burger, and the Steamed Duck Buns.
The Rhonin Burger was very good, served with a soy glaze, asian style cole slaw, and a very good yuzu-citrus aioli. The yuzu aioli made this very unique, and brought great acidity to the burger, balancing the boldness of the soy.
The Kiki Burger was the best thing, served with two types of mushrooms, and a garlic-chile aioli. This was the best overall because it worked best together as a burger. Each bite had layers of flavor, and got better each bite.
The Steamed Duck Buns were also very good, with the Duck being the highlight of this dish. The Duck was very moist and flavorful, and worked well with the five-spice hoi sin, boiled egg, and soft steamed buns.
We tried the Junmai cold sake, and was very impressed with how it went with the food. Red wine would also go very well with the burgers, and they said that they will serve it very soon. The thai iced tea was pretty good, but the texture seemed watered down. A very minor flaw in a overall great meal.
For dessert, we got the Walnut Bread Puding, which was served hot, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They said they had their own pastry chef make everything fresh daily, and you could tell. The bread pudding was soft, and very flavorful, and worked perfect with the crunch of the toasted walnuts. Great dish!
Overall, the flavors that Bachi Burger has in all of the dishes we had were very unique, and worked perfectly. It is very affordable for the food you get, and it a must try for anyone who lives in Las Vegas.
