Burger Review: Hashi
A few readers recommended I try the Hashi Wagyu burger so yesterday for lunch I passed by them. I had never been to Hashi so I was looking forward to trying them out.
The interior of Hashi looks like a warehouse thats been vandalized by graffiti which is a nice idea although one that I’ve seen before. They had two burgers on the menu and I decided to go with the Wagyu Beef Burger which is made from freshly ground Wagyu beef hamburger filled with wasabi creamed mushrooms.
When the burger arrived it reminded me a lot of the Munch burger. It was small and the bread looked generic so at first glance I was thinking to myself “not again”. Luckily the similarities stopped there because the burger tasted better than Munch. The meat Hashi use is of better quality and juicier. But, being better than Munch isn’t really a compliment, I felt the herbs mixed in with the beef really overpowered the burger and the small bread made things very sloppy. They also had tomato and iceberg lettuce which felt out of place, I don’t even know what it was doing there since the waiter told me there wouldn’t be any lettuce or tomato in the burger.
I no longer have patience for burgers that don’t have the basics at least right. Is it really that hard to make a good burger, come on people! I am going to give this burger a 2 out of 5. Now burger review aside I think Hashi is one of the cheapest sushi places in Kuwait. I ordered an 8 piece Lobster & Crab maki and it cost only KD2.750. That I think was the most expensive maki they had and on Fridays its even buy one maki and get one free. So I will be going back again to try some more makis but I won’t be having their burger again.
Hashi is located in front of Salhiya Complex.
The cost of the Wagyu Beef Burger was KD5.950

I liked my maki dish but I didn’t fancy the burger much. It should have honestly been called a slider.

Mark,
Was the burger spices overpowering or was it the creamed mushrooms with the wasabi? cause i’d imagine that would have an overpowering taste as well.

Mark, my question to you is:
Did u have a burger belly now :D
5. Mark | March 30th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Actually it was this green herb in the burger, i think it was parsley that was overpowering.

It seems like here in Kuwait it doesn’t really matter how good the food taste. As long the meal is expensive and the decoration is nice then people will just keep coming! yeah stupid Kuwaitis who love to brag.
The best burger in the US doesn’t cost more than six bucks. I think Oprah did search for the best burger shop in one of her episodes. heh.
