Fuku Burger

Tasty tasty Fuku Burger! I’m so happy I can finally shove your burgers in my mouth without having to deal with the strip or the disappointment of your truck never being out when I have a craving!
The quality standards set by the food truck are clearly carried over to this location, with the added bonus of having an actual table to eat at. A little pricy, but no more than any other premium burger joint. And honestly, you can spend just as much or more at Carl’s Jr, if you aren’t careful.
Several tvs hang on the wall, NOT playing sports from what I can, thank god. One appeared to be looping a power rangers episode, another cartoon network, another playing animé. Games like Jenga were set up along the wall for play. Very clean restaurant, with stellar service. I can tell this is going to be a long lasting relationship.

I’ve been told to check out their food truck… but I could never find it! Driving on Jones I noticed this spot and decided to check it out. I was having a really rough day, but this place just beams happiness. The plaza where it is located is really busy but Fuku has some parking spots for their customers (Yay!). The costumer service is fantastic… I really felt like I was welcomed. The cashier was very helpful in explaining my choices and she was fun. When we ordered our food and they wanted me to use a «funny» name… so I chose Primrose Everdeen, and of course, I yelled «I volunteer!» Got a few laughs.
They also have free WiFi and some board games to play. When you tip they yell, «Tip Jelly» and they give you a jelly thingy. lol
They are open late too… so I’ll probably will be back during one of those late night cravings.
The mushroom burger

I was sad to see the location at the Linq close, but got really excited when I saw the sign Pop up when driving around Vegas following my recent move here. I like this place for something other than your typical burger! The concept of putting egg or pulled pork is not exactly new, but the flavors they incorporate are different. Definitely quite rich flavors! Fries are great especially with the tasty dipping sauce.
Only thing missing for me is some Bread Papa cream puffs

I used to love Fuku burger back when they only had their food truck. But when I heard about another Fuku restaurant opening that isn’t on the strip I thought it’ll be more convenient, but the quality of the food coming out the kitchen… Eh, I hope it wasn’t the same quality I was served. It was probably a bad shipment but my chicken katsu was a half fat patty with a side of undercooked chicken and garnished with deep fried breading. I was almost halfway though when I decided to dissect my burger for some unknown reason, so I didn’t really bother to ask for another one because my appetite was completely gone and why return a half eaten meal? On the other hand, the Jazz fries are really good!

The fam bam was in town and told them they had to try FukuBurger if they were feenin’ for burgers. I’ve always raved about it but always felt discouraged by finding the truck and the crowd that pools around. But finally! An actual restaurant and within my area. One that’s relatively clean and decorative. Good vibes. I’m all about good vibes.
However… I’ve gotta say I’m becoming more and more disappointed each time I come and sometimes it’s due to lack of service and others the food tastes a little more bland. This time though two for of the four burgers were extremely undercooked. Like full on MUSHY. I’m not even sorry just because we hate well done patties but really? We were even going to overlook it by taking it home and reheating it… Until I went back to the counter. I got one of the cooks attention after a few minutes of standing there. I was asking for some boxes but I brought up one of the burger to show him how undercooked it was so he’s aware. He says oh ok, and walks away. Just maybe I was looking for a little customer service and acknowledgement. but now you have an uncertain customer with a pissed off boyfriend and an unimpressed brother. I’m just praying they don’t get sick after reading another’s review.
Sorry Colin. I’m still willing to give it a shot in the future but this is probably going to be one of the last times I do.

I love the interior of this burger joint how it’s all animé themed and it has a pretty cool view of the street. The service is sometimes good and sometimes ehh. Now talking about the food, I always like to order the egg burger (not sure what it was called) but OMG best burger I’ve ever had and if you get it as a combo with the fries I recommend the Jazz fries! They are THHEEE BOMBB like I mean it. If you’re feeling for a meaty burger you should go for the buta burger (I think that’s what it’s called) but it has all meat literally bacon pork and more bacon and some special sauce and mmmmm making me drool thinking about it but yeah 4 stars overall for interior and fast service. The food is basically street food so don’t eat too much of it either or you’ll become a chunky monkey!

I had my doubts about this joint, but overall I’m gonna say that I really like it here. I walked in and I had to take a moment to comprehend what was going on inside. Today was my first time here and I guess it clearly showed. I was helped out by Elisa who gave me a good rundown of all the menu items and gave me some personal recommendations as well. She was helpful, patient, and cute too. ;)
You can even choose a nickname for your order and they don’t care if you swear. I used ‘Kyouchan’ because that’s what my Japanese family and friends call me. Nothing funny or interesting. Just the first thing that popped into my mind.
So I ended up getting a Tamago (egg) Burger and it turned out very well. The garlic fries were tasty and I liked the dipping sauces that they provided as well. The portions were bigger than those at Shake Shack for about the same price.
My dining experience was pretty trippy. The two TVs that were on had some old-​school Sentai (戦隊) and Ultraman (ウルトラマン) episodes going on, complete with monsters crushing Tokyo city, five characters combining into one gestalt hero and the whole deal. The music playing was some 90s rap too which provided an interesting contrast. And last but not least, as I was eating, I noticed that the paper used to line the basket says «死ねクソ野郎！» which more or less means «Die you fucking asshole!» So obviously being politically polite isn’t on the top of this place’s priority list which is very refreshing in my opinion. I had a mild chuckle out of everything here and an overall pretty good experience. It’s close to my work too, so I’ll definitely be back to try the rest of the items on the menu.

I just had one of the worst burgers you can ever have here in Las Vegas!!!
Don’t ever go to Fukuburger! Disgusting to the point of making me sick to my stomach!
It gave me instant trots!
I should have got the hint, when I bit into the burger and saw that the inside was raw pink!!! Gross greasy! The fries were hard, stale and nasty!

There seems to be a bit of a hate train rolling through this reviews section. While I’d agree that criticism is somewhat warranted, I still see more positives than negatives.
Fukuburger has long been one of my favorite Las Vegas food trucks, and this third shot at brick-​and-​mortar success is their first positioned outside of the Strip. They’ve taken over the former location of Fresh Cup and most recently White Rabbit. Customer traffic was steady if somewhat slow at around dinner time on a surprisingly nippy Monday night.
The menu is mostly the same as the truck’s menu, although I’m not sure how often they carried all of those fries options. They also seem to offer specials every so often, as seen on their Instagram, but tonight’s Kennedy didn’t sound that exciting to me. The employee described it as a Katsu Burger (chicken) with mac and cheese inside. I’ll try to come back when they’re serving up something more intriguing.
I went for the Kinoko (Mushroom) Burger, a somewhat ill-​advised choice in hindsight. I hadn’t had the Tamago (Egg) Burger that recently, but I went instead with a different burger that I’d previously experienced. That said, I don’t remember the mushrooms being so tough to chew. Mushrooms in burgers need to be tender, period, and these were thick but not easy to bite through.
Let’s get back to the basics though. The bun was solid and held up to the onslaught of sauces both inside and out. The beef patty was a gigantic oversized portion that met the challenge of the $ 8 price in a brick-​and-​mortar context (food trucks are generally overpriced, believe it or not). It was cooked to medium, although it did seem slightly underseasoned and boring in and of itself. But you’re not getting these burgers because you’re a purist anyway, and the pickled ginger, teriyaki sauce, and wasabi mayo make it an enjoyable burger overall.
Also, the $ 4 jazz fries (served on the same tray as the burger) were pretty dynamite. While there isn’t any sort of cheese in here, I’m pretty sure they’re better seasoned overall than the poutine that I tried at a certain shop not too long ago. The fries were crunchy, the brown gravy was hot and rich, and the crack sauce was some mildly addictive mayo-​based goodness.
The dining area is fairly small, as fans of the former inhabitants White Rabbit and Fresh Cup may know. However, they go above and beyond by offering free Wi-​Fi for all, as well as power strips at the high counters for charging your devices.
Even though I’d eaten not long before this Fukuburger visit, I definitely enjoyed my meal. Despite my own doubts, they’ve transitioned their truck’s menu into a casual burger experience that has its own niche among other similarly priced casual burger joints. Just remember to have a funny nickname ready because they’ve kept that aspect of the Fukuburger truck too.

Fuku Burger, ya did it again! This time with a new location. I didn’t know they opened up this location until the owner, Colin, informed me himself through my last review! I love how much more convenient this location is. The interior is super cute with local art on the walls. I’m pretty glad I came in around 11pm because I could only imagine this tiny place getting super packed during lunch/​dinner rush. We ordered the Buta and Kinoko burgers and they were yummy as usual, plus the Jazz fries! Like I said in my other review, if you’re into sauceyyyyy flavorful burgers, you’ll love it!

Fukuburger has been around since the first generation of food trucks in Las Vegas. Now they have a brick and mortar right in Chinatown where they first started off. Its got cool artwork on the interior, with an easy to read digital menu, but the dining space kinda is cramped.
We shared a Fukuburger with Jazz Fries, and luckily we just ordered one burger to test it out. Everything sounds and looks great, but the taste and composition of our items just didn’t impress me… not a fan of whatever additional seasoning/​marinade is used in the patty, and the patty has an odd firm texture to it. The bun is supposed to keep everything in between in tact, but liquid from the patty and additional ingredients were soaked up from the bottom, and it was a soggy mess. Jazz Fries were not all that jazzy… more like a generic poutine without the cheese curds and mayo instead. Um… no.
Fukuburger already has a loyal following, so I wish them nothing but the best… maybe the timing of my visit wasn’t good (Team Fukuburger was catering at an Atlanta Falcons game in the ATL) so maybe quality and cosistency slipped a bit, who knows? I just hope that this place isn’t jinxed from formerly being White Rabbit, and Fresh Cup before that. ALOHA!!!
Shaka Meter: \uuu/​\uuu/​2

I had heard so many good things about this place that I was honestly a bit disappointed when I finally ate here.
The interior here reminds me of a gloomy teenager’s room during his experimental phase. There are three or four TVs spread around the room; the walls feature Japanese-​themed posters and paintings that are apparently on sale. Fuku’s red and black color scheme makes this already small building seem even smaller and made me feel like the restaurant was cramped, even when it was not.
The cashier was friendly and was more than willing to let us know which burgers are the most popular and that the combo is worth much more than the burgers by themselves. She was great.
The food was unfortunately not that amazing. I ordered the #3 combo, which is the Buta Burger, I believe. The buns were very small compared to the burger patty, and my patty was too salty and a bit overcooked. I’ve had better. The one thing I enjoyed here were the Jazz fries, but they alone are not worth the price of over $ 10 for a combo.
Fuku Burger is a place I’d go back to if my friends want to go here, but not much more than that.

When I take the time to review restaurants I like to review every aspect of my visit. I like to look at the cleanliness and the customer service as well as the food by appearance and taste.
To start, the restaurant was very clean when we walked in the music was a little bit loud but that’s bearable. The customer service was average, with the cashier being friendly and smiling.
My husband and I each ordered a hamburger and garlic fries to share. I don’t remember the names of the burgers but he had the one with the egg on it and I had the one with the mushrooms and teriyaki. We each agreed that the flavor of our burgers was exceptional my husband noted that next time he might get one Patty instead of two so that he can enjoy the proper balance of flavors. I noted that the shiitake mushrooms were very rubbery on my burger and that texture was not appealing to me.
Overall they were good burgers with a great marriage or flavors and OK customer service in a clean environment.

After a disappointing run at moda across the street we noticed that Fuku opened up a brick and mortar place.
It’s been ages since we’ve hit the food truck scene but hot damn.
Good stuff. Need I say more.
Plus they have games to play while you’re waiting for your food !

I went to Fuku Burger on Spring Mountain and Jones. I had the Kinoko Burger, Jazz Fries and a soda.
All six types of Asian fusion burgers are all priced at $ 7.99 the Jazz Fries were $ 3.99
And the soda (with free refill) was $ 2.10
Staff was friendly, there are about 8 sit down tables and plenty of parking.
You have to give the person who is taking your order a Nickname for your order which they will call out when your order is ready, so be prepared. Mine was «Squeaky». It’s all I could come up with.
The burger was good but the star of the show was the Jazz Fries. They are garlic fries with gravy and something they called «crack sauce «it was so good I ended up sopping up my burger in the left over fry sauce when I was done with the fries.
If you don’t want to try Asian fusion burgers, they offer one burger which looks pretty standard American style drizzled with Fuku Sauce… But the remaining five styles of Burger are DEFINATELY more Asian inspired.
I can’t say that the burger alone would bring me back here, but those fries would.
Especially if I was in the area, I would stop by again.

Fuku Burger at the Linq was amazing. The staff was very friendly and the place was extremely clean.
I would recommend it to others for sure.
Thanks guys’

«Order for Asshole… Asshole??» I LOL’d as the guy behind me went to the counter to pick up his food. The cashier told us to give a funny name for our order, I chose Pinkie. I thought Asshole was very unoriginal, but still funny to hear them call it out.
The food is Japanese fusion. The menu is small and consists mainly of burgers, a hot dog and a chicken sandwich, as well some french fry options. You can order ala carte or upgrade to a combo for $ 13.99 which is what I decided to do. That got me the tamago burger, (fuku patty with furikake, teriyaki, fried egg and crispy onion strings) garlic fries, and a soft drink. The burger was realllly tasty. It was juicy and flavorful, with the egg and the crispy fried onion strings adding extra flavor and crunch. The fries, meh. I appreciate that they were crispy, but I didn’t taste too much garlic and the crack sauce was just okay. It’s a mayo-​based sauce, and it’s not horrible, but I didn’t think it was crack-​like, meaning I wouldn’t go back for more.
I will definitely be back to try some other items. I hope this place stays afloat. The last few businesses that occupied this space went under fairly quickly, and I hope that was due to the product and not the location.

This place really impresses just by décor alone! It has that Japanese animé theme down to the T! Pretty awesome.
Their menu is the same ol Fuku Burger I’ve come to know and love since back in the food truck days during Westside Wednesdays.
I took my hubby here for his first time and we both got the spicy tamago (egg) burger and jazz fries. Still loved the tamago burger but I’m not too fond of the jazz fries anymore. I think I liked it better back then and I think it’d be better with skinny fries instead.
Anywho, whether you’re an old fan of Fuku Burger or never even heard of it before, check out this spot.
PS. I was told to give the cashier a funny name for when my food was ready and that totally caught me off guard and I failed. Lol so think of something beforehand if you suck at things like that such as myself.

OK so first off the the burger was great as far as the taste. But I got super sick after eating it. I’m talking throwing up exorcist style. I try not to look into stuff like this because its borderline paranoia, AND IM NOT accusing the restaurant of anything, but my friend and I walk in and theres a guy in front of us, he orders, then I order, then my friend, then a family of 6. I ordered the easiest item…#1 w/​o the wasabi/​mayo. For some reason i got my order last. After my friend, the family of 6, etc. I just didn’t get why. The place itself is nice.
Theres animé playing on the tv and also the football game was on as well. I love that they tell you to pick a funny nickname for when they call you. There is trap/​hiphop playing in the background. Pretty sure this place is ran by a young entrepreneur. The woman behind the counter was nice. She said they have a truck still on Fremont usually during the weekends. If I wouldn’t have gotten sick I would have given this place 5 stars but I’m still trying to recover from this food! It crazy too because this location used to be a taco bell and I got sick from that food as well. Maybe is just a bad omen on that location.

I’ve been a fan of Fuku ever since the first time I stopped by the Foodtruck at a Westside Wednesday event years ago. Since then I’ve stalked their truck on numerous occasion and various events. It honestly feels a little weird to be able to sit down at a table and enjoy a Fuku meal. I think that they should put a set of Home Depot buckets in the restaurant somewhere.
I can proudly say that the quality and taste is the same as you would have found on the Fuku truck that made its brand famous.
My default order here is:
Karai (Spicy) Burger: topped cucumbers, peppers and avocado cream (I think)
Jazzy Fries
The Lady
Tamago Burger: fuku burger with nori, fried onions and egg
Regular fries w/​crack sauce on the side.
The burgers here have an asian flare to them but are not obnoxiously off the wall in any way that would detract from the burger or turn off the burger purist. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of Bachi but t’s unfair to compare Bachi to Fuku as they are very distinct and different with their creations. I think Fuku creations are delicious because of their subtleness with asian flair which results in well balanced flavors. Take for instance the wasabi mayo and the avocado cream sauces don’t overpower the burger but rather accentuate the burger and its toppings.
I know that this sounds like fancy food snob talk but it’s the truth. If you don’t believe me then go and try Fuku for yourself. If you don’;t trust me then go Fuku yourself but add a c and subtract u.
Eat with confidence.
–P

The idea sounds pretty cool with a Japanese fusion to burgers. So upon walking into this eatery, I was quite excited to try their popular entrée. I opted to the #2 which was suggested by the cashier. Me and my party all got the Tamago which was a meat patty, egg, furikake, crispy onions, teriyaki sauce and wasabi mayo. Sounds delicious, right? Not quite.
I wasn’t a fan about how bland the patty was. I’m not too sure as to whether they make the patties themselves or it’s store bought. Whatever the answer is, it appears to me that it is indeed store bought with little to no marinating involved. All the ingredients seemed to pop out as individual instead of actually being as one ultimate burger. I’m not too sure what the hype is about because after taking my first bite, I was beginning to regret every moment of it. I’d wish I was at another burger joint enjoying a good olé classic burger. Sadly, that was not the case for me here.
Also, the burger wasn’t wrapped in anything so upon the egg cracking, a trail of yolk slowly streamed on my arm. But okay, I get it… It’s supposed to be a messy food to eat so I’m hardly judging the food based on this indecent alone.
Besides the burger, we had jazz fries which was garlic fries topped with brown gravy and crack sauce (whatever that may be). In addition to that we ordered a classic fuku fries seasoned with garlic salt and togarashi. Again, they have a thing with making their food sound fantastically appealing, but when you take a bite of it, you just start to get really disappointed. The fries were thickly cut which shooed away the actually flavors incorporated to them. The fuku fries was just like their burger’s meat patty– bland. The only thing closely related to satisfaction that I got at that restaurant was the jazz fries which was not even all that great to begin with. It was doused in their secret sauce but as you work your way down to the fries, you’re met with another bland/​un-​sauced fries. Need I say more?
The only thing that’s keeping me from not giving this place a one star is that I love their venue. It’s nicely designed with a modern/​hip look to an Asian fusion restaurant. At one point, I told my friend that I wanted to recreate my living room to something like the restaurant.
The service was nothing special, but I was left with one impression. The cashier asked us to give a funny name which was a super fun way to get creative. Upon hearing other patrons get called for their food, you’d hear the cashier saying unconventional nicknames like «@$$hole your food is ready!» I have to admit that was particularly funny.
Overall, I would say that I wouldn’t recommend this place, but I do see a room for improvement. Also there’s a whole lot of potential for this place, so even though I wasn’t too happy about their food, I hope to hear about them someday and hear only good things. I’m definitely not coming back anytime soon, though.

Fuku has been a local food truck favorite– and I’ve enjoyed their food. One of the perks to their new brick in mortar location (besides being convenient to me!) is that their food quality is consistent and their service has improved. The location also offers free wifi, as well as fun music and videos playing for entertainment while you wait.
While their Buta Burger is still my favorite– always juicy, plenty of flavor!- the Naga dog is also a solid option. However, a flaw I’ve noticed with both is the bread. The burger buns are bulk-​purchase and don’t stand out, and tend to fall apart. I’d prefer a sturdier version (maybe an onion bun?), the King’s Hawaiian buns would be a really great option, especially for the hotdog.
I’m a little disappointed to see that the pricing is still a bit high– $ 8 for a burger is fair, adding $ 5 for a drink and fries is steep, and $ 9 for the (admittedly generously-​sized) Naga dog is higher than several local specialty hotdog spots price theirs. I guess I expect slightly inflated pricing for food trucks, but to see the same prices here as at their Strip location was unexpected.

I must admit, I was excited for Fukuburger to open in my favorite part of town. Having been to their truck at First Friday and waiting over two hours for a burger, I no longer had to stand awkwardly in a crowd of hippies and deal with the ridiculous wait.
ATMOSPHERE
Super hip with loud ratchet music LOL Vibe resembled a lot like the atmosphere of First Friday. The artwork displayed here were definitely the highlight. Four LED displays above the counter featured their menu as well as some cool videos.
SERVICE
Not much to say about this department. I tipped them anyways and everyone yelled «Tip Jelly!», then gave me a jelly. You also get to choose your funny nickname just like how it’s done at the truck. Don’t ask what mine was.
FOOD
This is where I questioned myself whether to give three or four stars. I ordered the Buta Burger which is my usual order at Fukuburger. Juicy, mouth-​watering beef patty with bacon, cheese, onions and red ginger. I did enjoy my burger. However, for a burger that is as small as my fist (and I have a small hand), its $ 7.99 price tag is not cute.
I remember paying $ 5 at the truck and it was the same exact portion. Please do keep in mind, I have been to Bachi Burger and have no problem paying $ 12 – 26 for a burger because given the quality and portion, the price is justifiable. If you are going to charge $ 8, at least give bigger portion than the truck. Burger is good, just not worth $ 8 for such a tiny burger.
In addition, $ 2.10 for a small drink. Am I at Disneyland?
CONCLUSION
Come here for the atmosphere and amazing burger but prepare to pay around $ 10 and leave hungry.

New location, same great burger! Still hands down the best burger town. I’ll be perfectly honest… it’s the BEST burger I’ve ever had. My usual is the Tamago with bacon but will venture off sometimes. Either way I’ve never had a bad burger. I do highly recommend getting the Tamago with Bacon
The staff is always really friendly. The locations are always clean… the downtown food truck is tucked around the corner from the crowd across from Common Wealth. Which ever location you’ll get a great burger.

FINALLY there’s Fuku burger in China town!!!
Saw the sign few days ago but Unilocal wasn’t showing it up. But they are now! Honestly I’m stoked they open a one in China Town besides the truck and the one in Las Vegas blvd. One beacuse tracking fown the truck is hard since it’s no where near where I live and two driving in LV blvd is just asking for a never ending migrain. So today had the pleasure having fuku burger for lunch with my sis. Had to warn you though you will not find parking closer to the restaurant. I had to park way on the other side of the parking lot on 168 Market. But its worth it!
Ordered Tomago burger, Katsu burger and Togarashi garlic fries to go and glad I did beacuse the restaurant was packed! What can I say they except were bomb! Chicken katsu was so big my sis had to cut it in half. But hey no complain here. Tomago burger is exactly the way I like it! Crunchy fried onions, slightly runner egg and well done patty. Had to say I am still full and this would be my go to burger place from now on.

OMG finally! I am so beyond thrilled that this location is finally open. I love the truck but always trying to track it down and find where it’s at is not so great.
I’m a creature of habit so I always go with the spicy burger. Never a disappointment. I also recommend the Jazz fries, so good!
You won’t find anything else like Fuku in Vegas and it’s worth the wait if you end up with one since it can get easily super busy in a flash.
The only advice I have is to get there early before the dinner rush or take it to go since it’s pretty tiny in the dining room.
