| - I was very disappointed with my visit here to Fuku Burger. I and my guest had never eaten here before and seeing all the high reviews for this place we decided to give it a try.
This location is a small restaurant with about 6 tables, so not a great location if you come with a large group of people. The menu was very simple and straightforward. I liked how all the items on the menu had a unique name and their ingredients are also unlike other burger places. So when I ordered the #6 Chicken Katsu (Crispy Chicken) I had such high hopes for it. I got the combo so it came with a medium drink and I got the garlic fries. My guest got the #2 Tamago (Egg burger) combo with a medium drink and the Jazz fries.
As we waited for our food to come out, I tried to find a clean table, but all their empty tables were still dirty from the previous customers. I had to go up to the front and ask someone to come and please wipe off a table for us. Not sure why this hadn't been done beforehand as there were only two other groups of people eating there and all the workers were just standing around...ugh.
Our food came out fairly quickly and it looked delicious, but unfortunately, that was the best part of it..the looks. The chicken in my sandwich was super bland and dry. It didn't taste like they put any kind of seasoning on it. Not even the sauce and the cabbage they put in the sandwich helped. On top of it being bland and dry, the crust on the chicken tasted like old oil..yuck! Sadly I wasn't able to eat much of my sandwich. The fries were really crispy and were nicely seasoned, but no garlic flavor at all!! Can't call them garlic fries if you don't make sure the garlic flavor comes out. The seasoning on it seemed more like a seasoned salt. Not bad, but not what I was expecting. Really disappointing since I paid around $12 for this combo.
My guest was also disappointed as his burger patty was still raw!! The middle was bright pink. When he saw that, he quit eating the burger. He did mention how the taste was good, but nothing spectacular or something he'd come back for. The idea of the Jazz fries is a great one, but he didn't like the sweet crack sauce. Being our first visit here, we didn't know that the "crack sauce" was a sweet kind of sauce. So, if you aren't a fan of sweet sauces on fries or burgers, probably should ask to have it taken off or put on the side.
The guy taking our order was helpful and seemed really friendly, but he along with the other employees were just eating their food right there in front of everyone! I always find it so unprofessional for employees to take their breaks and eat where the customers can see them.
Not sure if I'll be back or not.
