Bread crumbs make burger more dense, not moist!!! I would say the beef is subpar. Good burger joints use an 8 oz. as the standard burger. Want ot make a great burger? Had this in Italy. Mix ricotta cheese in beef. Then grill. Fantastic.

Well Bad Idea, as I said there is no longer any panko in the patties and even when there was, it was a very very small amount–not enough to classify as a “filler.”

Juicier or not, Ehren, the breadcrumbs make for a tough, dense patty. Good ground beef needs no binder or filler or grease retaining additive.

Actually “Bad Idea” the burgers would be juicier with bread crumbs or panko since the starch would absorb the fat instead of allowing it to drain from the patties. However, Bachi Burger never used that much panko anyway. Currently, BB doesn’t use any panko in their burgers to accommodate gluten-sensitive patrons.

I agree with the price point as I can go down the street and order a poorly madeTiger Roll for $11-12 and all that is mostly rice, tempura batter, and probably less than 3 ounces of actual fish–frozen mind you.

I don’t understand the people who say that Bachi Burger is expensive. I have eaten at Island Burger and found the prices to be very similar, but the food was worlds apart. I can get a run of the mill 9 dollar burger anywhere in town. Bachi’s burger’s might not be perfect, but they have great flavor and amazing toppings that I would never have imagined on my own. Add in the truffle fries, buns, and cool drinks…it was love at first bite.

My only complaint with Bachi was the slow service, but they seem to have fixed that at the original location. Knowing that the Summerlin location is new, I will give them a little time to work out the kinks. I enjoy their creativity and try to get all of my friends to give it a try.

The reason bachi’s patties are so concrete-like is because they incorporate breadcrumbs into the beef. Bad idea.

Sorry to go off topic… but I have to comment on Tricia’s post above. Expensive? Really? Compared to a fast food joint I would agree, but Bachi is cheeper that most good off-strip restaurants that I know of – and it does not serve fast food. A $16 – $30 guest check is pretty affordable for the caliber of food they serve at Bachi. I always wondered why the price is so low, I am surprised the can afford to stay in business with prices that low considering the volume of sales.

I absolutely agree about the sense of discomfort at Bachi Burger. I don’t know what it is – but I think the food is mostly good, allbeit expensive for an off the strip joint.

I actually never get a burger when I’m there, as my favorite is the fish sandwich, it is absolutely amazing. Light, flakey, and perfect.

The flaws with Bachi have always been consistency and service, but when the kitchen is on point – then it was a comforting yet very original cost effective meal. I fear that the new Bachi location was a bad decision from a business standpoint, but so far the food has been good albeit slightly different. Agree with John’s feng shui comment in the review, that may be the only significant and possibly insurmountable flaw. Of course I hope that I am wrong, I’d like to see this business thrive.

John – The burgers have to be tightly packed due to the hibachi grilling, once you get past the meat density (which I also had to do initially) you can explore the complexity of the flavors brought out by the use of a hibachi. Its a one of a kind experience, that is why so many of my peers have questioned your initial review for so long, it was one of the few stand out “WTF?” reviews in my humble opinion. Glad to see you give Loren another chance, we could use more like minded chefs in this town who mix the comfort that non-foodies expect with the innovation that foodies demand.

Max – I agree, Bachi is not a “burger” joint in my mind, there are more Korean cuisine similarities to me than anything else.

Okay, I ate there. The place was just about empty. Decor was very boring and dull. Terrible location. Food was so-so. Won’t be there long. Should of went to Island Burger.
