Bachi Burger | The Best Burgers in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Review-Journal

“Fusion,” or even “Asian fusion,” can mean a whole bunch of different things, a lot of which are tantamount to confusion and a lot of which aren’t good. Which is so not the case at Bachi Burger. No offense to the Bachi-ites, but it seems so obvious on the face of it that I don’t know why we haven’t seen this sooner (so maybe that’s the simple genius of it): Take the gourmet-burger craze and the dazzling popularity of updated Asian food, smack them together, and what do you get?...

Bachi Burger Bachi’s menu reads as if Harold and Kumar are in the kitchen doing bong hits. Of the six whacked-out burgers on offer, the highlight is an homage to the Vietnamese banh mi, blending beef, pork, shrimp, and pork pâté with pickled carrots and daikon. Fresh lemongrass, mint, and basil add brightness, while fish sauce supplies depth. It is intensely satisfying.

CHOWHOUND

Bachi Burger There is a self-imposed rule to visit any new place twice before making a post, but Bachi Burger (470 East Windmill) created such a favorable first impression that there is no hesitation. This is the inspiration of Lorin Watada, who served as a corporate chef for Roys before branching out. Bachi is short for hibachi, so the focus is on grilled burgers (Angus or American Wagyu), with a lot of Pacific Rim/Asian influences. But also some other interesting options, like Peking Duck, Short Rib and Pork Belly steamed buns; a variety of...

First Impressions: Bachi Burger – Mike’s Review By Mike, on April 30th, 2010 Unbelievable. Remarkable. Jaw-Dropping. You’ve got to be s***ting me! These were just a few of the terms used at the table last night as Michael, The Dave and myself (The Wife was fast asleep) had our first Bachi Burger experience. When seeing on their Facebook page that they are an “Asian Inspired BBQ Burger restaurant,” my mind struggled to make an impression on exactly what the hell that is. All I can say is, you have to see it to believe...

Tasting Las Vegas

Run, don’t walk, to Bachi Burger By Michael Manley, on April 30th, 2010 Bachi Burger must be a mirage. First the location: an otherwise undistinguished stripmall wasteland on east Windmill near Bermuda. Right across from a frighteningly gi-normous hypodermic needle sign. Second: a menu that is at once sophisticated, varied and extremely well edited, as Tim Gunn would say. Third: prices which are impossibly reasonable given the quality of ingredients and skill of cooking. Surely the play of light on desert sand is tricking our...

Bachi does burgers better By Jet Tila What do you get when one of Roy Yamaguchi’s top guns decides to leave the coop and setup a cool burger joint with the help of some talented family and fellow co-workers? You get Bachi Burger! Calling this a burger “joint” is like calling Raku a plain old pub. This place captures the essence of that magic when a fine dining chef dials it down a couple notches and just cooks food he wants to eat. The chef, in this case, is Lorin Watada who, along with his brother Ehrin (self-proclaimed face man),...

Bachi Burger by Max Jacobson Sometimes I kvetch about our lack of cutting edge concepts, but then, when one opens, I wonder if the locals will support it. That was among my first thoughts upon visiting Bachi Burger, the new Asian fusion and non-traditional burger stop on E. Windmill Lane. The concept belongs to a chef named Lorin Watada, a Japanese Hawaiian who was, for years, the corporate chef for the Roy’s chain. I made him laugh when I told him he cooks better than his mentor, the mega-millionaire Roy Yamaguchi, who sold his company to...

Vegas Musings

Bachi Burger is a new restaurant, bringing a new burger concept to Las Vegas. Asian inspired! I love Umami Burger in Los Angeles, so I had to give Bachi Burger a try. We decided to split two burgers, the Kalbi Burger shown above, and Kiki’s Burger. To start, we shared an order of Bachi’s Pickles, which are made fresh on site, and are all unique and quite good: The Kalbi burger reminded me a bit of a burger version of a kogi taco. Very strong, distinct Korean flavors in this burger; just sweet enough, garlicky, with some tangy kimchee on...
