This little restaurant located south of the famed Las Vegas Strip has been making quite a name for itself so we had to stop in and see what all of the "noise" was about .Bachi Burger is the inspiration of Chef Lorin Watada, who served as a corporate chef for Roy’s before branching out on his own.

We had time to visit with the General Manager and partner, Guy Imperial. We went on several occasions and were pleasantly surprised at the various entrees and appetizers that we shared.
One of our favorites was the Kalbi Burger with its mixture of ground beef and pork with the essence or garlic and ginger, chili paste and soy formed into a juicy burger that was topped with a ko-chu jang mayo and green onions and house made tart but tasty Kim Chee.

There are not only unique burgers to choose from on the menu, but pork and seafood dishes as well. The Crusty Crab is a pan roasted crab cake topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado, with fried onions, mango chutney and tarragon remoulade. The sweetness of this dish would please any one in search of a crab cake that embraces a burger like mouth full but at a new level of culinary expertise.
