Happy New Year :D!
Since I’ve moved to the Bay Area, I realized that I’ve never actually posted anything about any restaurants nearby. Well, we’re about to change that! Sunnyvale has been doing a lot of revamp for their downtown area, and a lot of local restaurants have recently (recently, is within the lifetime of 2016) opened.
Upon entering Nom Burger, I wasn’t sure what kind of expectations to have. The decor was really nice, and everything was really modern. Prior to coming here, I read about how the buns are all handmade – but y’know, you don’t believe until you see it. Right where we were seated, there was someone working on glazing the buns with egg.
I would classify this restaurant as one that served gourmet burgers. Prices were all within the range of $15, which is kinda expensive in my opinion given that you have to pay additional for sides…that is, until the burger came.
Do you see how huge these burgers are? They really were a mouthful to eat. And as much as they were delicious, I would definitely not recommend on your first date. You will be a mess! Our waiter knew this ahead of time and presented us with a ton of extra napkins xD.
Of the two burgers, N and I both ended up agreeing that the California Love was the better of the two. Its freshness of local ingredients, balance of sweet and salty, and of course, avocado, definitely won my love. That doesn’t put the Hella Dank out of competition, though. If you’re up for a challenge and want to try different, I would definitely go with this burger. The compilation of the pickled radish and pate brought out its own type of umami.
We ordered one side for the two of us, and wait a minute, did you guys hear what I said – SIDE? This is huge! We order Nom Fries, which is essentially garlic fries. So apparently, this photo is taken when the food arrived, which a waiter dropped by telling us that we have been lied to, and splat on some sort of sour cream, which went really well with the fries (such great service, right?!). The fries are chopped finely, and really good…*drool*. The aioli sauce on it was a tad spicy, but totally tolerable.
I honestly feel like this place is not here to jip you. The food is good, service is wonderful (shoutout to our waiter, he really enhanced the experience), and atmosphere is great. It’s nice to know that more of these kind of restaurants are opening up around the Bay Area. I would definitely come here again.
