Luck’s Wagyu Burger Shoppe

Came here with my boyfriend for lunch and enjoyed our time! This burger spot is inside of zen Japanese food fast which is a small Japanese spot that also serves crepes. On their website they advertise this spot as a "burger speakeasy" so we were thinking it was going to be hidden inside the restaurant which it was not lol. Maybe we were silly to think that but it definitely threw me off when we got here and it was just a combined restaurant. The service here was fast and the food was great!

Luck's has be on my list for awhile now, glad I got to check it off. The burgers are juicy and fresh. Everything is delicious.Wagyu Burgers:Akuma Burger - 5/5Sides:Sidewinder Home Fries - 5/5I order a double akuma burger, and it was phenomenal. The patties were sooo juicy and flavorful. Super fresh and amazingly delicious. Sidewinder fries were really good too. Great seasoning and cooked perfectly.

Restaurant consistently fails to prepare the food as their menu indicates. Missing toppings, condiments (These are supposed to be "Special"), and preparation issues plague this restaurant. Sadly these were delivery and no way to get them to correct their errors.You should know better when one of their primary profile photos is of their restroom. Attention to details is a very important attribute.

This little Japanese restaurant sits on Anderson Road next to a Goodwill. A lot of people come here for the burgers, but they actually have a lot more to offer such as sushi. I have included photos of the menu to give you a better idea. As we see so often, if you pay with a credit card, you can expect them to flip the screen over in hopes of a tip. There's enough seating inside for at the very most 50 people and 18 outside. I came in at noon on a Thursday and it was surprisingly fairly empty. My order came out in about 10 minutes, but there was some confusion as to what I had, so not everything came out at once and my burger had no cheese. I was not impressed with the sidewinder fries and definitely recommend you skip those. They were not cut from real potatoes, they were clearly preformed and previously frozen out of a bag. The onion rings were a little better as they were lightly breaded and expectedly on the greasy side. The Burger was a decent size and the semi sweet sauce they use was a nice touch, but it still lacked the wow factor. Nonetheless, I'd be willing to come back in the future to try some of the other menu items. A good acceptable 3 and a half to four star place. Plenty of photos to fulfill your curiosity.

Chill Japanese-American burger joint that has plenty to offer for those who wish for a sandwich or a taste of Japan.

They completely messed up our order. We got the Tokyo burger and the Wagyu Katsu Burger. The Tokyo burger came with grilled onions instead of the promised tempura onion rings. I guess we don't really know what to except but whatever they gave us it looked nothing like the burger from the menu photo. Presentation was underwhelming.For my Wagyu Katsu burger, they gave me the chicken Katsu instead. I went to the cashier to correct my order and she gave me an attitude and was like "we repeated the order for you to double check" and when she checked turns out we did order the Wagyu one. She was terrible! But the other staff was nice and they just told me to keep the chicken and they'll remake the Wagyu burger for free. They explained it was the kitchen staff's first day at work.... Their Tokyo burger tasted good but nothing special. The chicken Katsu burger tasted like any other chicken sandwich... We took the Wagyu burger to go and added an egg on top with shredded carrots ourselves at home and it tasted really good. I think their burgers just need more ingredients. However I think the selling point of their Katsu Burgers is the Asian slaw - very unique flavoring! I really enjoyed their homemade fries. Although the only sauce they gave us was ketchup packets ... none of the "luck's and tonkatsu ketchup sauce" promised on the menu??? I think this is a pop-up restaurant inside of Zen, so not sure if they'll be there for long. But honestly there are so many good burger places in Austin, I won't be returning to this one. There were just too many things missing from what we were expecting based on the menu.

TLDR: pretty standard burger fare. Came here for a quick weekend lunch. Service and such were as to be expected, nothing remarkable, but everyone was polite and the food came out quickly. For the food, the burger itself was subpar. The meat was good, but was way to small for the bun and accoutrement. Either size up the patty, or size down everything else to balance out the burger. The fries are a bit different. they are long, thick twists. I didn't really notice any difference between them and regular steak fries, but they were good regardless of the novelty. Overall, the burger was so/so, and there are better options around Austin. 3/10

I had pretty low expectations for a burger pop-up; especially one in an Izakaya.I was massively and pleasantly surprised when I ordered the swagyu with cheese and the sidewinder fries. A ton of thought went into the burger - wagyu beef, a great bun, and then tonkatsu rather than ketchup (a nice reference to the Japanese culinary roots of the restaurant hosting the pop-up). The fries were delicious, especially with the tonkatsu sauce; I may have a problem and they would bottle it!Net net, if you go to hop doddy regularly - give this spot a try. The burger is actually better, and you can enjoy some old school anime while you eat!

The katsu chicken sandwich and the BTS Burger are two of my favorite lunches. And, the fries are amazing. Definitely give it a try.

If you know me, you know that I love all things wagyu. When I heard that there was a burger speakeasy from the culinary team at Lucky Robot operating inside their sister restaurant, Zen, I knew I had to come by!Luck's Wagyu Burger Shoppe is the only wagyu burger shop in town. They also sell wagyu katsu burgers which is a Japanese dish of fried chicken made with panko bread crumbs. In fact, that's one of the burgers I got.Their Wagyu Katsu burger comes with Asian slaw, ketchup, tomato, and Luck's sauce. Pretty cool way of having a wagyu burger! Nice crunchy outside with the juicy meaty inside. Goes well with the sauce.The second burger I got is their Tokyo BBQ. This one has mild cheddar, onion rings, pickles, bbq ketchup, tomato, and mustard. Tastes just as you'd expect: a combination of sweet, tangy flavors and chewy and crunchy textures. Fun to eat this one too!Not pictured: their French fries. They were out of this world!All in all, I had a good time here. If I had to leave with one critique, I'd say I wish my burger buns were more toasted as they felt pretty dense as I kept taking bites. Other than that, I had a great experience with Luck's. The prices were very affordable given its wagyu and come with a side of fries. I also liked their wall decor full of various Japanese pieces. I give them a 4/5!
