text: It was fated that Bachi Burger and Us would meet last Sunday at the Las Vegas Valley Book Festivals Feasting on Words Event I read about it on Yelp went to check it out and was pleasantly surprised to see such a wellorganized event that evoked a sense of community somewhat unusual for VegasnnBachi Burger chefs were among other local restaurant chefs there slaving over an open grill to serve fresh food representative of their venues Bachi was serving these miso sliders that really stood out above the rest Kobe patties topped with fried quail eggs sandwiched between warm soft buns had me wondering why I never went to their restaurant before especially since I live less than five miles awaynnWe made our trip tonight and I am now so thankful to have been paying attention to Yelp events The restaurant is minimally decorated modern and clean fitting for an Asianinspired gourmet burger joint nnWe started with the parmesan truffle fries which were very tasty crispy not burned and not too greasy I really liked the Bachi pickles which were a combination of pickled veggies radish onion carrots They provided the addictive sodium and crunchy companion for the fries and burgers which were worth the wait I have read reviews that the service can be slow here ours was not slow but longer than many other burger joints which make sense to me since these burgers taste like they were made with much care and effortnnThe Vietnamese in me desired the BanhMi burger and the Vietnamese in me was right The BanhMi was a culmination of flavors sweet from the Vietnamese ham cha lua salty from the fish sauce tart from pickled cabbage and spicy from the chili peppers All of this were served between two patecovered buns a perfect harmonynnI was too full for dessert but am looking forward to trying the Portuguese donuts with Saigon cinnamon on my next Bachi experiencennBefore we left my boyfriend said We should be careful who we bring here since we may run into them all the time from then on
