I must admit that I have been cautiously optimistic about Nom Nom Burger since the first time I read about them. I enjoy Asian fusion-style cooking and I'm a burger lover, so this seemed like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed in the past, so you can understand my hesitation. Thankfully, Nom Nom delivered the goods. \n\nMy wife had the Peeking Duck burger(s) with garlic fries while I ordered the Pad Thai burger with sweet potato fries. The Peeking Duck burger was actually 4 slider-style burgers, with the usual bread bun replaced with small steamed buns. Dollops of Sriracha paired with decent garlic fries made for an enjoyable dish. The Pad Thai had all the usual things you expect with good Pad Thai, but on a burger! The carrot and veggie toppings with the Thai chili-marinated burger worked together so well, I can't believe I've never had this before. The sweet potato fries were about as good as other versions I've had around town, but not overly sweet as to take away from the burger. \n\nThe only reason I hold back a fifth star is simply because there is so much good on the menu, it makes it hard to choose. I know it's a bad reason, but there it is. Fortunately, we will return for something different (maybe the Banh Mi?), so a fifth star could show up quickly.
