| - You live this life once; so why not treat yourself to a nice meal once in awhile. After hiking in Red Rock Canyon that is what my brother did. Except, that it wasn't intended for here. We headed to the Gordon Biersch in Boca Fashion Village only to find that it was gone. Bummer! In Sambalatte my brother and I went on Yelp where our fingers did the walking and the Yelpers did the talking. The Yelpers were talking positive things about Bachi Burger down Rampart Boulevard in the Village Square Shopping Center at the northwest corner of Sahara. Now it was time to do the eating.
I am no stranger to Bachi Burger. Oftentimes I drove by the Windmill at Bermuda location. I had read glowing articles about the famed burger in the local publications. Articles that included Las Vegas Weekly's reviewer Brock Radke placing Bachi Burger at number 19 in the most important restaurants of Las Vegas list.
I have been unfamiliar with the meaning of "bachi." For your information, "bachi" means karma and a Japanese type of grill.
Bachi Burger blends in with the neighboring businesses of the renovated Village Square Shopping Center. It is hidden from both Rampart and Sahara Avenue. The movie theatre is the landmark.
On Sunday, February 14, 2016; at 6:30, we had the restaurant practically to ourselves. Immediately upon walking inside, we immediately landed a table. There were zero patrons between ourselves and the distant open kitchen. The picture below shows the restaurant scene. But anything can change in a Las Vegas minute. Near 7 pm; the tables surrounding us were filling up.
Bachi Burger reminds me more of an Asian restaurant than a burger place. I remember the drapes by the hallway leading to the restrooms. I also remember the comfortable seats and relaxing dining environment.
After examining the choices of burgers in the menu, I had my mind set on the Spicy Miso Burger plus a separate order of Just Fries, and Coke. At this point of the review, I need to bring up that a burger, fries, and beverage will come out to at least $20.
The Spicy Miso Burger was a colossal sandwich. I felt like I was in the dentist opening my mouth wide. Below is a picture of this beast of a burger. And this is a first-rate burger. The Bachi Burger website states that their burgers are made fresh from a combination of wet aged chuck, short rib and brisket certified beef. It was over and above the meat that delivered my taste buds to an elevated state of nirvana. Surrounding the Angus beef were onions, shishito pepper, mayonnaise, lettuce, roasted garlic, cheese, apple vinaigrette, and a fried egg. This brought back a recent memory on the Las Vegas Strip enjoying a unique Fukuburger. A consequence of my food exploring is an appreciation of an egg on a burger. Let me also state that in contrast to the name, there was an infinitesimal amount of spiciness in the Spicy Miso Burger. Colossal sandwiches are not meant to be enjoyed alone. The Just Fries complimented the burger. The fries were hot and fresh. They featured sea salt. The fries were part for the course of this dining adventure. This is the first time that I recall dipping fries in pineapple ketchup.
Throughout the dining adventure, our waiter Hugo provided commendable service. Past the conclusion of the meal, he never pressured my brother and I to leave when we were hanging out shooting the breeze. Additionally he was friendly.
You will live this life once. Why not experience Bachi Burger once. Local publications and several Yelpers rave about Bachi Burger. This review is confirmation that Bachi Burger lives up to the hype:
