Gonpachi in the Miyako Hybrid Hotel? $16 burger ...

Has anyone tried it? I saw this ad for the burger in a Japanese language paper. Sadly, I couldn't comprehend the writing but I could comprehend that the burger might be really delicious.

Speaking of which, what kind of a restaurant is Gonpachi?

Thanks.

    Gonpachi is a sushi bar first. I have tried the burger, since it's not far from where I work. I found it decent. It comes with fries, miso soup and a salad, FYI.

    Apparently the Sushi chef from the now-closed Gonpachi Beverly Hills is now working here, which might make this one of the better sushi bars in Torrance.

        There was a post ealier that declared this the best burger in LA. It's not, IMHO. It's ambitious, though. That black brioche bun is rather unique.

      The failed ambitions of Gonpachi are the stuff of legend. Let Google help you.
