Fuku Burger

Server was courteous, burger was served fairly quickly and presented nicely, but meat was lukewarm and flavor did not jump out.
Across the street was Bobby Flay’s burger joint. We ate there last night and for a $ 1.50 more than Fuku I had one of the best burgers in my life.
Also, Fuku, if you want to know how to serve a hot burger, stop by Smashburger.
They have this mastered!
So, unfortunately, I do not recommend Fuku.

I am all about the holes in the wall and excellent flavor. This place is that exactly. On the strip so walking distance if you are looking to escape the casinos its in a strip mall winning a game of hide and seek. When you walk in, don’t focus on how it’s rather unkempt and a bit dirty, the menu is excellent, I wanted to try everything. I had the spicy burger. Delicious! The fries were good but they give you a itty container of ketchup that may be homemade, it was very good. So you may want to ask for extra.

I walked through a mile of margarita-​swilling, yard-​of-​beer chugging tourists to get to this place. And it was worth every step.
This little hole in the wall, somewhat hidden amidst the theme restaurants and cheesy chains, offers a limited menu that is anything but limited on flavor.
I ordered the Tamago, or“egg”, Burger, which features a tasty patty, sweetened with a teriyaki sauce that gave it a crack-​like quality (I mean, if I ever had crack, it would be this.) Topping this deliciousness was delicately fried crispy onion straws and a fried egg. As a side, I ordered the garlic fries and they do not disappoint.
So if off the beaten path is your thing, walk the gauntlet, embrace the odd, and give this place a try!

The boyfriend saw that Fuku Burger was the #1 burger place on their website so we wanted to check it out. I’ve eaten there before at the older location over a year ago. This location is located inside the Hawaiian Marketplace. We parked in the pay parking in the lot across the street ($ 5) although we found out later that we could have received validation if we told the guy guarding the lot in advance. I ordered the spicy burger over rice (with no bun) and it was cooked perfect and tasted great. The boyfriend ordered the Fuku Moko. He thought his was just ok, nothing special. Also I was pretty disappointed in the «Garlic» fries. It tasted like the grease was old or something and gave the fries a weird aftertaste and I didn’t taste any garlic. I think for two people you should receive more than two tiny little sauce containers. The white crack sauce is pretty good… but you should at least receive a normal size 2 oz portion.
The place is pretty small and I think it might be nice to check it out when it heats up and you can sit at the outside bar. Our table was clean, but when the boyfriend grabbed the Sriracha bottle it was caked in oil and grime and who knows what else. Someone really needs to make sure those bottles are cleaned. While we were eating the TV’s were both on an infomercial. We asked the girl behind the counter to change the channel. She and someone from the back changed one of the TV’s but then each TV was on a different channel but both had the volume on, so it was actually worse. I don’t know it was a pretty slow night and there was only one other group, I think they could have done better by us. Especially since you pay at the beginning and for $ 35 plus $ 5 tip and you have to go get your own food, drink and clean off your own table… I’m just not sure why I should be tipping.

I was surprised to find this burger place! It was a Friday night at like 8pm and the place was empty– it looked kinda sketchy too, not gonna lie.
The menu is simple and straight forward. Service was fast. I had the spicy burger and it was deliciously juicy! The beef was rich and the sauces they used were amazing. I will definitely eat here again!

Don’t trust the reviews: this place is terrible!
I really wanted to love this place but it fell short for many reasons:
— Restaurant was dirty; floors not well washed and tables full of trash
— Food was extremely salty the garlic fries for example had no fresh garlic but instead just over seasoned with garlic salt
— Burger as another Unilocaled mentioned — all you can taste is the sauce
— Lastly prices were high. $ 4 fries not worth it.
I had the mushroom burger, garlic fries and a drink. My friend Nick got the one with the egg. Both of us were disappointed. In-​N-​Out did a better burger.
The one kudos I will give them was that the staff were friendly and I loved the fun nicknames.
If we were drinking wandering the strip this place may have been fine. Sober… Not so great.

One of my FAVORITE burger joints in Las Vegas!!! It comes super close to Bachi Burger, and I still need to try Holsteins. But omg if you want an amazing flavorful burger with so much NOM come to Fuku Burger! I freaking love it. It’s super tender and juicy and the sauces are amazing. If you’re a sauce person like me this is the place to go. Im just knocking a star down because I wish they had a different location other than this one at the Hawaiian Market place, or their food trucks. It gets difficult tracking down the food truck sometimes and this restaurant location doesn’t have easy parking. I followed some tips to park in the parking lot behind it but the dude wouldn’t let me unless I paid $ 10 –_​– which blows. So, my BF and I ended up parking all the way at Planet Hollywood and just walked over, which was quite a walk: O hopefully they figure out a better way with parking for the locals. But if you’re on the strip already, I definitely recommend to come and try them out!

Had the #2, Tamago aka Egg Burger!
All-​beef Fuku-​patty with furikake, teriyaki and wasabi mayo, finished with crispy onion strings and a fried egg.
It was literally finger licking good! From the very first bite, I knew it’d be awesome as the egg yolk started to run down my fingers. If you like teriyaki creations this is the one for you.
The ninja fries were good as well… make sure to ask for «crack» sauce on the side. The regular garlic fries were okay as well… not the greatest but will satisfy your fry cravings. Come here for the burgers!
Service was excellent for a order and sit down place, the girl at the front came to check on us several times. Located in the Hawaiian Market Place… parking is a hassle here but if you’re staying or visiting the strip it’s a quick walk.

It’s a decent burger.
The chicken burger is pretty good.
I had the tamago burger and it was just as good as any quick burger in its price range. I guess the word «tamago» made me think of the japanese omelette that I get at sushi places, so I was expecting more of a «japanese» flavor to the egg. Nah. It was just a normal cooked egg.
It’s a good daytime place to stop that’s easy on the wallet and great for filling your stomach.

Yaas Fukuburger, yAaaaAaas!
I originally knew about Fukuburger back when its location in Hollywood was still around. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to give it a try in California because it closed down.
Flash forward to a couple of years later, in preparation for a quick trip to Vegas. I stumbled upon Fukuburger’s locations after a quick food search on Unilocal.
We decided to go to the location in the Hawaiian Plaza, conveniently located near MGM Grand on the strip.
I decided to order the Tamago burger with a side of jazz fries. Even though we ate here for dinner, it is easy to imagine just how popular Fukuburger is as a late-​night joint.
The Tamago burger is stacked with crispy fried onions, plenty of delicious sauce, a perfect ooey gooey fried egg and a hearty beef patty. Soooo good. The jazz fries were also crisp and SO tasty with the combination of gravy and «crack» sauce.
It’s a must-​have when you’re in Vegas. Crazy good.

A few of us didn’t feel like eating at our employee dining room so we walked over to Fuku Burger to try it out. The spot was very trendy with cool paintings on the walls. Ordering was easy as 1, 2 3. I was contemplating between the Katsu Chicken burger or the Naga Dog. I asked the cashier which one was more popular and she mentioned the Katsu Chicken. I ordered it.
We didn’t wait too long before our order was ready. We were all surprise to see that there were two layers of very cooked/​deep fried pieces of chicken katsu between the buns. There is no way I could eat the burger with two chicken katsu patty so I removed one from the burger and shared that piece with others. I managed to finish my chicken katsu but yes, it was very greasy and it was over fried.
Service was good and food was ok. I may return in the future to try other items.

Fuku is my favorite type of sloppy gourmet burger. As in a little less fancy and a little more street. Hai! I just love it, through and through, and where In N Out is my husbands daily go to, Fuku Burger is mine.
These are Asian-​fusion burgers, specifically Japanese, and they are genius good. Mind you I’m half Japanese and half hamburger. But really, I prefer Fuku over the more expensive and gourmet fusion burgers out there besides Bachi. Totally different animal even though it’s not. If you know you know. The point: be prepared for the sauce. If you’re a plain hamburger purist, as in no cheese please, trust me, I am one of you and this is not that kind of place. You are not coming here to taste a distinct beef patty. You are coming here to party. So, if you can be an adventurous purist like moi, do try! If you can’t, do go home.
The Buta burger is my pick because bacon is always safe. If you’re not familiar with Asian flavors or fusion, I’d suggest you go this way or to the Fuku (the plain). But do an egg if that’s your thing («the Tamago») or the Karai if you’re a foodie, especially a burger foodie. That’s a thing right… or is it just me?
Whatever you do! Do not freak out and take out the pink pickled ginger god damnit. Do you hear? Do you copy? My husband tried to do this the first time he tried Fuku and I nearly divorced him. Seriously. So stubborn. I know it sounds weird. Even when you know what it is it sounds weird, I mean pickled ginger on a burger right?, but you have to trust the concepts here. Plus you can always trust the Japanese when it comes to the American burger. As if they cannot fathom that they didn’t invent it themselves, they truly translate it the best.
You can’t get these kind of burgers at these kind of prices around here often. Especially near this location. My favorite burger for under $ 8? You got me for life.
Sober or drunk, I can’t get enough. So
Go sober. Then go drunk. See what I mean. And they validate parking at this location.
The Jazz Fries are a must; It’s true. And yes, their special Fuku sauce– you will be referring to as «crack sauce.» Mmhmm.

Food — 4.5
Service — 4.5
Value — 4.5
We really enjoyed our Kinoko burgers here the other night. Ingredients were fresh, tasty and high quality. The teriyaki sauce was slightly on the heavier-​side as far as taste was concerned so it may be worth asking them to put less on it or have them place it on the side.
Service was good once they realized they had some customers waiting the counter, but we had to yell a few times until someone noticed (it was a slow night there).

Dont know whats all this hype is about. I didnt enjoy my burgers. My burger tasted nothing but the sauce itself. For the price you pay, I dont think it is worth it at all. I ordered that Karai Burger everyone was crazy about but eh, yeah it was spicy but whatever. Too much sauce and it gave me a headache. The actual portion was pretty small too.
Boyfriend got the first burger which looked like a traditional burger and it was just OK.
With the not so friendly price and ridiculous parking situation, I dont see myself coming back here again. I rather go to Gordon Ramsey Burgr. The restaurant itself wasnt too big either. It had about 4 – 5 booths and that was it. Menu had about 6 – 7 different burgers with 2 french fries option with some Hawaiian fusion dish with Loco Moco but was named differently. When I walked in during lunch time, there was only one person waiting for his burger. It was so empty that I had to question myself why did I come here because I was so annoyed with the whole parking. I could have walked yeah but I stayed at Palazzo and there is no way I could have walked all the way from there. Thought about parkinf at the Miracle Mile Shop and walk but my legs were too tired from walking so much the night before.
The girl working at the counter was nice though and thats the only reason why I am giving this place a three star rating.

Stopped here cuz it looked cool as I was hanging by the LINQ. The concept seemed brilliant, but the food didn’t deliver. I just realized it’s been almost a year since I ate here, and forgot to write a review since I was utterly disappointed in the burger. The togarashi fries were OK. I’m okay sticking to Bachi or in n out.
One extra star for service. They were cool peeps.

Where the new Fuku burger disappoints me is their prices.
Inflation inflation inflation
That’s usually the theme of restaurants near the strip, which is why I usually avoid that area like the plague. So when they opened another Fuku near china town off of jones and spring mountain (previously the location of where white rabbit was) I was hoping they’d be a little softer on pricing.
Don’t get me wrong, Fuku is good, just not worth $ 14 for a meal, or $ 9 for a burger good. When I think fast food, I think cheaper. I can get a full meal at in-​n-​out for half the price.
But the pros to Fuku is the fun and flavor of the place. Parking is relatively easy, and you can’t help but love the idea of having a funny name for your order be called out. Seriously, I much rather pick up an order with pride at the name of «scrotes-​mcballstein» than just plain ol’ customer number 76.
Their tomago egg burger is really simple but full of flavor, its a must here and it’s the only reason I suffer the consequences of $ 9 a burger. Their buns are also pretty soft and fluffy to bite into compared to most burger places.
Fuku is fun place to grab a snack if you don’t mind paying a little extra for fast food, but when I think fast food, they’re usually the last option I think of. Maybe if they didn’t fall into the escalated price game, I’d consider giving them a better score.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon around 12pm.
The last time we were here, Fukuburger was at the Linq, now they are at the Hawaiian market. It was pretty quiet when we went, and not many people walking around.
The restaurant was pretty quiet with only one table of customers.
We ordered the Buta burger and kinoko burger. Both had ample amount of toppings. The mushrooms on the kinoko burger were very good and flavourful. I did find both burgers were greasy this time, making the bottom bun soggy when trying to pick up to eat.
The cashier girl was very nice, and service was pretty good.
Definitely worth trying if you like Asian fusion.

First of all, parking is $ 5 at the lot for Hawaiian Marketplace which is not the fault of Fuku (pronounced foo koo BTW). The burgers are reasonably priced at $ 7.99 which kinda made up for this little inconvenience of dodging pedestrians who want a death wish ignoring any safety precautions. There is parking validation so be sure to ask for it!
Hubs and I shared a Tamago burger where the patty could have been bigger and the bread was a tad dry. Does not come with fries but you can get one order and share it. Flavors were good though. We got the fries with gravy and crack sauce. I was guessing the crack sauce is mayo with somethin’ spicy like Rooster. I was close! I like the size of the fries, not too skinny and not quite steak fries. Crispy on the outside in order to hold up to the sauces and not get too soggy.
We showed up late afternoon after the mad lunch rush, so no waiting for us and plenty of seating. The place has a fun casual vibe with interesting animé type of art on the walls. It’s also fun that you can give them a crazy name and they’ll call it out. They guys who work here are friendly and laid back.
This is a fun place with a bar up front. I can imagine the vibe would be fun and different at night. So if you’re in the vicinity of Hawaiian Marketplace, recharge yourself from all that walking and try these burgers. They’re really good. Also, from the other reviews and the response from management, it seems as though he really does care about feedback and customer service. I would recommend trying these burgers.

I CAN’T BELIEVE I NEVER WROTE A REVIEW FOR THIS OH MY GOD. Anyways while my gf and I where here on vacation last June (I know super late review) we stumbled upon this burger place! Where I also happened to break my sunglasses before entering :*(. It has been awhile but I still remember my first experience here and it was amazing! The staff are so cool and definitely love the energy they have! Always feels like a fun atmosphere as you walk in, which is a great thing to have being on the strip! Their menu wasn’t large from what I remember but the pictures can make you drool. I wanted to eat every burger that I saw because it looked delicious. I ordered the Buta Burger I believe and oh man I was in heaven. Nice sloppy burger and the flavors that came out. I could die and be alright after eating this burger!
Definitely DEFINITELY will come back when I go back to Vegas this June!

This restaurant is located in the Hawaiian Marketplace. Indoor & outdoor seating. I went to use the bathroom & as I approached the restaurant, a guy blared out «Drake’s Baby Momma» on an intercom. Lol where did that come from?! I fell in line with my girlfriends & found out that they call your order by nickname. Haha! Better start thinking of a clever nickname!
Tamago aka «Egg» Burger = Furikake, teriyaki & wasabi mayo, crispy onion strings, & a fried egg — De-​licious! The patty was thick & juicy, the bun was toasted & buttery, & all the fixings were great!

Awesome little permanent installment of a popular food truck in Vegas. The quality of the meat was awesome with the right amount of fat content to give it the flavor.
Asian fusion burgers with fun ingredients. I had the mushroom burger and would defiantly recommend it. The fries were unique and crispy with nice seasoning. I loved the banana ketchup it was like a fruity fry sauce.
I’m glad I made the walk to enjoy a quite and delicious burger. If your thinking of a burger in Vegas don’t waste your money and time going to one of the trendy spots at the casinos, go to Fuku.

Nothing gets me like a good burger with a runny egg, which was exactly what the Tamago Burger ($ 7.99) offered. Initially, I thought of a fully cooked eggs like an omelet when I heard tamago, but thank goodness for pictures as it’s actually a fried egg on your burger. On top of that, it comes with furkake and fried onion strings. The patty is juicy and thick while all of the ingredients were packed into the burger. It wa so good and definitely fills you up. I also added an order of garlic fries ($ 3.99), which comes with ketchup and their special crack sauce. I dripped my fries in both sauces, which paired well with the crispy fries.
The downfall was that they did take quite some time for our food to be ready. In addition, they do this interesting thing where you use a funny nickname for your order name. Unfortunately, I’m not very creative in that department and neither were my friends, so that left us with blank faces and awkward silences as we were trying to come up with a nickname for our orders.

I remember those late night food craze when Fuku Burger was still in food truck form, parked somewhere on Spring Mtn Rd. in Chinatown. Now look at them… they got themselves in a restaurant building. «Started from the bottom now we’re here.» =) Congrats!
Their burgers are still just as good as when they had their food truck. I always get their #2. Tamago «egg» burger. I make sure it’s well done every time and they always cook it to my liking. My boyfriend got the #3. Buta «pig» burger and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really like the size of their burgers. It’s enough to satisfy and please your tastebuds but small enough you don’t feel like a fata$$ afterwards. Also, you will have enough room in your stomach for their Jazz fries!!! OMG… for those of you who have a weakness for potatoes or French fries in general, this is a must. Their gravy mixed with their «crack sauce» poured over lightly seasoned French fries… mmmmm…I’m salivating as I type this.
Fuku Burger is located in the Hawaiian Marketplace plaza just right after MGM Grand Hotel. Park in that $ 5 parking lot and Fuku burger will reimburse you. Just show the parking attendant your receipt and you get your money back. Plain and simple. So happy they’re located at a restaurant. Now I don’t have to stalk their social media pages to see where their next truck stop will be at. I will DEFINITELY be back. Who wants to go on a Fuku run? Let me know. I’m down to come along with ya!

I’ve known about Fukuburger since they made a special truck appearance on season 2 of the Great Food Truck Race. But even with me flying in from SF for vacation several times, I never really got around to searching for their truck. Now that they have their own brick and mortar shop right on the Strip and with added publicity that they have just been voted as the Eater Vegas’s No.1 Burger Joint (
), I had to check them out!
I visited their store right for a late lunch so the place wasn’t too busy at the time. Great for me since I didn’t have to worry about a long wait time for my burger. One thing to note though is that I just had a Dole Whip Float at Pineapple Park beforehand, so I was less than moderately hungry. I basically went with ordering the Kinoko without any fries.
Kinoko –
«Mushroom Burger» w/​All-​beef Fuku-​Patty, grilled shitake mushrooms, pickled red ginger, teriyaki, and wasabi mayo
The Kinoko Burger is just amazing! It’s just full of umami flavor extracted from the mushrooms and pickled ginger. The burger was cooked just right and it was the perfect size to satisfy my burger craving. The presentation was slightly messy, but wasn’t too difficult to keep together. Overall, let me say that I’ve tried a lot of burgers, but I think it’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!
Though I’ve only had one of their burgers (as I stated being one of the best), it’s just enough for me to warrant a return visit to FukuBurger next time I go to Vegas. Judging from the taste of their burger, I can see why it was voted Best Vegas Burger Joint. I’d love to come back to try their other burgers, plus their hot dogs and their Jazz Fries. Is the Kinoko my all-​time favorite burger? It’s pretty damn close, but I still enjoy Bachi Burger’s Kiki’s Burger just a bit more. But the bright side is that FukuBurger is a cheaper burger option than Bachi and plus it’s on the Strip which is very convenient. A much deserved 5 stars!

This place may as well be called F-​U burger because that’s the way they’ll treat you as a paying customer. They have no regard for their customers and will call you disrespectful and offensive names just because you don’t like their food/​business and/​or don’t give them a 4 or 5 star review. Even if this wasn’t the case, there’s no way this place deserves 4 or 5 stars anyways and here’s why:
First off, the tables are super dirty. There was no clean table in sight… you have all these employees but not one can take the time to wipe down tables every once in a while? I’ve worked in the fast food industry for many years and this would’ve never happened at any establishment I’ve been affiliated with. Our group had to clean off tables ourselves to just be able to sit and eat.
The burgers are greasy and juicy, which isn’t a bad thing but they do not have a restroom or sink for customers to wash their hands at after. This is ridiculous. What kind of place doesn’t have facilities for paying customers? Especially a restaurant? I can’t imagine the employees have to leave the store just to use the restroom so there is no excuse for not having a facility for paying customers to use.
Their prices are also pretty steep for a hole in the wall walk up burger fast food joint. If you get a burger, fries and a soda for 1 person, it’ll set you back somewhere in the mid teens. Sure the burgers and food are decent but what is this Gordon Ramsay’s? If you’re going to charge these prices, at least have a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing location, like other similarly priced casual dining spots on the strip
Never have I been so offended with a food establishment in Vegas and I will no longer do business with them in the future. What a shame because the food was pretty decent. My visit on 6÷4÷15 will be my last.

Fukuburger moved to their new place in the Hawaiian Marketplace close to the MGM and the Planet Hollywood. I think this location is much better than their old location at the Linq.
They have outdoor seating with an outdoor bar where you can order food as well (if you’re under 21, you have to order inside). Indoor, the décor was Asian pop art-​inspired with upbeat music, which gave the place an urban feel to it.
The food is an Asian-​infused take on burgers, which gives the burgers a unique taste. I had the tamago burger (a burger with an egg and fried onion crispies) and it was the best tasting burger I’ve had in a while. The burger patty itself was juicy and savory, the onion crispies made the burger crunchy (sometimes the crunch makes things taste so much better), the sauce added a certain tangy-​sweetness to it, and the bread was crispy, yet soft and edible. PERFECT.
Staff acted like she was trying to force being nice to us, but that didn’t matter because the food was still bomb. A must go.

Pleasantly surprised!
For a burger place located on the Strip, with the addition of toppings included in the price, Fukuburger is a solid burger at a very reasonable price. Each burger is $ 7.99. They have five, and also one chicken sandwich also priced at $ 7.99.
The fries are on the pricey side though, at $ 3.99 for plain with dipping sauces, and $ 4.99 for the Jazz fries with all the fixings.
They also offer a loco moco style burger $ 7.99 and a Naga dog for $ 8.99, though these don’t seem to be the main draw here.
We tried the #3 Buta (bacon) and #4 Kinoko (shiitake). I was afraid the teriyaki sauce was going to be too sweet like so many Americanized Japanese places, but they used a more authentic tasting sauce that is more salty than sweet, though you can definitely taste the sugar. The Kinoko had a tad too much sauce which made the bottom bun soggy. But I really loved the buns. Very soft and fluffy with an almost smooth yet slightly sticky feel on the outside. If you’re familiar with Asian bakery rolls, this was very similar. And the buns were toasted nicely on the inside for some nice light crunch.
Both burgers were good. I preferred the mushroom, however bf preferred the bacon. Next time we will try the tamago. Another person in our party tried the #5 karai (spicy) and he said it had a decent kick to it.
Staff was very courteous and orders came out quick.
They do ask you to give them a funny or fake name for your order though. Have fun with it and don’t be uptight.
Only minus is you have to go outside to the Indian buffet’s building to use the bathroom. They don’t have their own. These burgers are messy so you will need to wash your hands afterwards. The bathroom is in serious need of an update.
Oh yeah, easy parking at Hawaiian Marketplace lot. Just tell the attendant you are going to eat at Fukuburger and he won’t charge you $ 5 to park there. You get two hours free. Just show your receipt when you leave. Just make sure not to toss your receipt!
