Fuku Burger 3429 S. Jones Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146
3.5 Stars (local chain)
Now that BBDO has several Las Vegas area slop houses under our well-traveled belt, it's time to start comparing Las Vegas to Las Vegas, not Brevard County, FL. My random name generator spewed forth the name of today's excursion into the Las Vegas area foodie jungle. Punching in the address, my GPS informed me I was going to “Chinatown Vegas.” I was shocked as I didn't know Las Vegas had an official Chinatown. Upon further research by my editor-in-chief, it turns out, like everything else in Las Vegas, that it was manufactured. Unlike the Chinatowns in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, to name a few, which sprang up around the Chinese immigrant communities, the one in the middle of the Mojave Desert opened in 1995 as the Chinatown Plaza Shopping Center. Regardless, the smells, colors, sounds and sights were as Chinatown as you can get anywhere in the country.
My server for the meal today was “Sophie”. She did clarify that's her nickname, as her real name is too long. I did ask her, but I will not attempt to replicate it here out of respect. I asked service-pro Sophie for one of their Tamago Fuku Burgers because who doesn't like a fried egg on top of charred bovine flesh? The Tamago Burger consists of one all-beef Fukupatty topped with a fried, runny egg, furikake, crispy onion strings and finished with teriyaki and wasabi mayo. The accompanying fries were served with ketchup and Fukuburger Crack Sauce.
As Sophie placed my order, I took a few pictures and sat back to soak up the intriguing vibe. The décor is reminiscent of a Bandai Shop with artistically colored kanji and anime characters. Very playful and friendly. Sophie was back in no time and after grabbing a few pictures of the victuals, I got to work. The burger was amazing on the palate. The combo of grilled cow, fried fowl embryo and furikake seasoning was intriguing and delicious. The burger was cooked well, the bun was toasted and the egg oozed a splendid pool of golden yolk that added a flavor one won't find anywhere else. The fries, while obviously from frozen, were seasoned, and that Crack sauce is aptly named!
I know what you're thinking. “If it was that good, Big Boy, why the 3.5 Star rating?” Good question. If I were in Brevard County, this would be a 5-star; however, this is Las Vegas, and for the area, this is a mid-range meal, hence the mid-range rating.
The Big Boy says, “Worth the experience, but I know there are better eats for the buck in town.”

Everytime I order pickup I arrive early let them know and they say they will start the food. When it’s done they never call your name your just sitting there forever.

Food, ambience and customer service, this is an all 5 star place. Loved it since my first visit and now this place is a must go on every Vegas trip. The staff is very friendly, the place has a lot of character and the flavors r awesome and unique.

My first time coming here and I got a chicken sandwich. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ll come back and try a burger and update this review at that time. As for the chicken burger, it was so so with a unique flavor that I wasn’t that in to, but you might be. It’s definitely not like any other chicken burger I’ve had.
Follow me for an update.

Creative burgers and friendly staff! Would recommend if you want a twist on the traditional burger! We had the #1 Fukuburger, #3 Buta burger, Fuku fries, and the Naga dog. Everything was fantastic. My favorite dish was the Buta burger, though.
