| - This place has been on my list to try for what seems to be eons. I fell in love with the allure of Las Vegas food trucks about six months ago and due to the limited time that I had, I wasn't afforded the opportunity eat at Fukuburger. That all changed Saturday night and sadly, it didn't live up to the hype surrounding it in my opinion. The burger was good, don't get me wrong, it just wasn't the out of body experience that everyone made it out to be.
I completely loved the atmosphere of the place. I was able to make it to "Saturday Night Food Fest" or whatever its called in front of Johnny Rocker's and was very impressed with the layout and the overall ambiance. It was close to 2 in the morning and people were talking, laughing and just having a great time overall. There were five food trucks in the parking lot and I had decided to try Fukuburger based on the fanfare it received from all of their patrons.
Again, this burger was good, I don't want to detract from the quality because I thoroughly enjoyed it. It just wasn't otherworldly as many others proclaimed it to be. I ordered the #3 and was pleased with the pricing and the speed in which I received my food. The #3 is their Buta or "Pig" Burger and it included Applewood Smoked Bacon, American Cheese, Onion, Pickled Ginger and their version of a Japanese BBQ Sauce. I found the burger to be small and overly messy. It tasted fine, but I really couldn't taste the flavor of the meat itself because it was slathered with a ton of sauce, which often times hides the quality of the meat.
I will most certainly give Fukuburger another chance when I return to Vegas in a couple of months, but for now, it's pretty good, nothing more, nothing less.
