| - Gordon Ramsayesque review - Looks like someone took a crap on my plate. It taste like it too.
Putting it gently, three years later, gone are the crowds and for good reason, the food has become shockingly bad.
To start, the once good oxtail chili cheese fries has become a disgusting mess. Stringy, over braised, oxtail meat stewed in excessive quantities of cheap (taste like dirt) chili powder then slopped atop soggy fries. An overcooked, rubbery egg with almost no yolk, processed cheese, wilted cilantro, and shriveled, rubbery Jalapeño peppers round out the dish. No.
To the patties used for the burgers, yes, adding a little sauce in the raw mix adds flavor. Adding too much makes the meat wet with an odd texture and causes the burger to break apart when eating. The toppings lack freshness and now passé sauces are so heavily slathered on, the flavors are completely overpowering and off balance.
Epic fail for the Kalbi burger (patty fell apart, kalbi marinade and ko chu jang mayo dripping everywhere). The Spicy Miso burger not far behind, it too oozing some sweet miso concoction, mushy meat falling out with almost no toppings except a hardened piece of cheese in the center of a apple vinaigrette soaked bun. No and no.
Service is off the Strip friendly and fast but with only three other tables at peak lunch hour, it better be.
Maybe just trying too hard to up the ante in Asian fusion flavors. Not recommended.
