| - What do I do when I first land in Vegas? I start looking at my Yelp bookmarks!
My cousin and I wanted to start things off with a great meal. To the days leading to our Vegas trip, he kept talking about Bachi Burger until my ears had a constant ringing! I finally gave into his pleas and agreed to go. After picking up our rental car we headed to Bachi Burger.
When we arrived, around lunch time, it was semi-busy. The hostess quoted us a seating time of ten minutes. It seemed the wait was shorter than that. We ended up getting a table within five minutes. Once we were seat, our menus were handed to us and was told our server will be right with us. Our waitress came to us within a couple minutes and took our drink orders. After being dry from the airport, I decided to get an alcoholic beverage. I went for the Sake Sanga-Ria.
The Sake Sanga-Ria was a light and refreshing drink. The combination of sake and sangria had an inviting taste, but then knocks you with a light buzz. Who am I to complain about that! The bits of apple in the drink were also laced with the concoction of alcoholic goodness.
For our appetizers we ordered the following, which include these ingredients:
- Pork Belly Steamed Buns: Duroc Pork Belly, Cilantro, Scallions, Radish, Boiled Egg, Chinese Black, Vinaigrette, Hoisin, BBQ Sauce
- Oxtail Chili Cheese Fries With Garlic Aioli and Fried Egg
The pork belly was melt in your mouth good. The steamed bun was soft to bite. The veggies, boiled egg, and sauces made the steamed bun very enjoyable. Next, the oxtail chili cheese fries. I have never tasted anything like this! I'm only fond of the chili and cheese on fries, but the oxtail takes this appetizer to another level! The oxtail was tender, fries crispy, and the chili thick. Adding the fried egg on top of this dish my sound weird, but it just made it much better.
For my main course, I ordered the Miyagi-sans Grass-Fed Wagyu Burger. This burger was composed of chili mayo, fried egg, furikake, caramelized bacon, and crispy onion rings. When I received my burger, it was piled high with the listed ingredients. I had to split the burger in two to handle this burger. Biting into the burger brought memories of another favorite burger spot of mine in San Jose, CA. Konjoe Burger. The summation of this burger was juicy, tender, and crispy.
The nagging of my cousin about this place was well worth it! This was just our first stop, but I felt like we overdid ourselves. Oh boy!
