Maybe because it was 1 am in the morning, but I was expecting a lot more from a place with hundreds of reviews with an overall 4-star rating. This review is for the #1 Fuku Burger and the Jazz Fries. When we ordered, the cashier was clearly tired and was ready to go home. Regardless, customer first, right? When someone in our party asked for recommendations, the cashier said she doesn't eat meat. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Maybe I can overlook the service if the burgers are a home run.
The patty in the burger was thick and cooked well. It was juicy and flavorful. Everything else about the burger wanted me to crave In-N-Out. The sauce was underwhelming. I didn't taste much of the wasabi in the mayo. Tasted like simple mayo. What they call the Fuku Sauce was not much of a sauce.
The Jazz Fries were boring. Basically, it's a bunch of frozen fries fried then drizzled with what Fuku calls a "crack sauce" and some gravy. Again, the gravy and sauce didn't really make an impact to the fries other than some "liquid" texture. What really brought the fries downhill was it was too salty - too much of that Japanese red pepper forced me to not even finish my fries.
Cranky service, decent burger, and salty fries round up to **.
