text: It's hard to chase down a late night food truck when you have a little bugger.  But finally, I get to try Fukuburger!  Does it live up to the hype?\n\nFAME at The Linq (where Fukuburger is located) is a glorified food court with lots of graphic art creating a hip and vibrant space.  Fukuburger is immediately visible with their faux truck in the corner.  I think the other tenants may be suffering from the lack of visibility or even a guide on what is offered inside.\n\nOk back to Fuku... Let's start off with the burger and togarashi fries.  Unfortunately this was a miss for us.  We got the Buta burger with bacon, cheese, pickled onion and ginger, bbq sauce and wasabi mayo.  The burger patty was small, and the fries were stale.  What we were served (and service took long even if the place wasn't packed) looked very different from the food shots I see from the Fukuburger truck.  Somehow the magic is a little lost in the permanent spot.\n\nBut the Naga Dog, wow, that was stellar, even if the bread was a little stale.  The hot link was smoky and savory and had a lovely snap when you bit into it because it is deep fried.  It comes with awesome grilled kimchi (which is a little wilted but the caramelization from the grill tames the tangy bite).  The stuff is spicy but exceptionally good!  It is complemented by the pickled daikon relish.  What a creative and successful alternative to onions!  Then the hot dog is topped with nori (which I wish I had more of) and wasabi mayo.  Mmm.  I read that it's supposed to come with kabayaki (eel) sauce, but I didn't get any on mine.  Even if I am not a huge fan of sweet on savory, I think it would have gelled beautifully with the spicy elements on the hot dog.  Still, I really enjoyed how they balanced all those elements successfully.  Maybe if I scoot over to the truck I'll get the perfect version.\n\nFor tourists on the strip, I believe it would be a convenient sop that does the job (even if it is pricier by around $2-3 per menu item).  But if you want a little more love on your plate, I'd hunt down that food truck.
