text: It was fated that Bachi Burger and Us would meet last Sunday at the Las Vegas Valley Book Festival's \"Feasting on Words\" Event.  I read about it on Yelp, went to check it out and was pleasantly surprised to see such a well-organized event that evoked a sense of community, somewhat unusual for Vegas.\n\nBachi 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 away.\n\nWe 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 Asian-inspired gourmet burger joint.  \n\nWe 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've 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 effort).\n\nThe Vietnamese in me desired the Banh-Mi burger, and the Vietnamese in me was right.  The Banh-Mi 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 pate-covered buns, a perfect harmony.\n\nI was too full for dessert, but am looking forward to trying the Portuguese donuts with Saigon cinnamon on my next Bachi experience.\n\nBefore 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\".
