Oh dear!!! 1 of Japan’s TH-camrs made a video about working at McDonald’s and it was hilarious but probably more too the truth it Shun Chan he’s made a few TH-cam videos so it was funny that you made mention of McDonald’s there’s nothing wrong with the fast food chains and their not too bad in the States either i would say watch out for the salt (sodium) content in the food it’s really high

@@MrsEats その経験に驚きません. American fast food workers know what’s up. There are also a lot of secrets managers keep from employees and/or customers from knowing… at McDonald’s, Taco Hell eer Taco Bell, 等等
Tsundere pizza with extra baka sauce...wow. i have no words I like how Japan has seasonal flavors. It really mixes things up & keeps the menu interesting
I was developing bronchitis when I was leaving Japan (~2015ish), and I got to Narita way too early, and I walked around, and a lot of places weren't open, but McDonalds was, and when it was my turn, the cashier suggested the shrimp burger (because I probably looked half dead/out of it/dumb), and I got it, and it was delicious, and that's the story of the time I nearly cried in the Narita McDonalds.
My favorite fast food in America was Popeys!!! It was so good especially the biscuit!! I couldn't stop eating them! I think if Popey come to Japan they will be the KING of fried chicken!!
The fast food corporations know that if they try pulling the same shit in Japan as they do in U.S by selling the same slop. They would get kicked and laughed out of the Japanese market. Most Americans after eating ultra prossesed food our entire lives especially the crap we were served in our school lunches as kids. Americans dont really know what good food is anymore. No joke they other day in the supermarket i saw this fat lady with like 20 frozen large pizza boxes and a bag of frozen chicken nuggets in her cart. Talk about sad.
Try different branches of burgers like In-N-Out, Farmer Boys. You will think differently. McDonalds and the rest are not as good as they were 30 years ago.
@@DisgruntledPigumon KFC in America sucks actually.. I don't recall having tried their biscuits there. In my country they're good af but we don't get the gravy :(
That's funny about ordering smiles in Japan. There was a Nintendo game back in the mid 80s called River City Ransom (ダウンタウン熱血物語 in Japan) where you could go to restaurants and order a smile.
As someone that very much enjoys shrimp, I wish McDonald's over here in the US had shrimp burgers, it would definitely be something I'd order every time I went.
Loving all of this new Mrs. Eats content in 2023! When I went to Japan, it was hard not to keep going to fast food. The service was so fantastic and the restaurants are so clean - such a big difference from the US. I don't think I would ever eat Japanese pizza though
Local pizza/burger places tend to be a lot better than any chain pizza/burger places overall. But it is interesting to see the kind of localized options those franchises add to the menu nontheless😁
American McDonald's, a few years ago, had some international options from European McDonald's for a limited time. I was ADDICTED to the burger from Spain. I can't remember the name of it, unfortunately. Time to do Asia, American McDonald's! I want that soysauce burger from Japan and the chicken big Mac from India (my cousin gets it every time he goes out there for work)!
Good observations about the food differences. I howerver find that the service in Japan's fast food restaurants make the big difference. Japan service is ichiban . They're fast, efficient, and polite!
I was just in Japan in December. I don't eat fast food in America but had to try some in Japan out of curiosity. I noticed the hamburger patties in all of the burger places I went to with the exception of Carl's Jr. were different than the American versions. I couldn't figure it out, it tasted like hamburger but had the texture of a pork breakfast patty. Almost a little more chewy I guess. I was also surprised to see stuff like double big macs and double meat breakfast sandwiches which aren't available in the states (that I know of). The shrimp burger was pretty good!
I cannot really speak to how things are today but when I lived in Tokyo in the 80’s and 90’s the beef in the hamburgers at American fast food places tasted exactly the same as it did back home in the USA. I am guessing that they use Australian beef because it’s cheaper than either Japanese beef or beef from the USA but I do not know for sure. Either way this should not be a problem because Australian beef taste pretty much the same as American beef to me. Unfortunately the beef here in Thailand where I currently live does not taste at all that same however. I recently made a big pot of tomato beef stew here and it tasted very different from when I make it back home due to the fact that I used Thai beef rather than the more expensive Australian beef.
@@SLOBeachboy Interesting. I do think the CJ's was advertising Australian beef, which I couldn't tell the difference. It had been a years since I had eaten fast food in the states, so it's possible that my tastes had changed. :)
I wish we had the shrimp burger in the US. I don't eat meat very often but do eat seafood and fish, sadly most fast food places either have no seafood options, or only fish. Shrimp would be a nice change!
I was curious about the black pepper garlic sauce, but then you said it smelled like Mr Eats’ pillow. I’m kind of relieved that it wasn’t good because I don’t think I’d be able to try it with that imagery lol
I'm really glad I decided to try the traditional American fast food brands in Japan. That shrimp burger was definitely super good and I definitely hate having to wait to try it again! 😭❤
I'd love it if you guys did an international food video, where you try various foods from around the globe. I'm in Scotland and would love to hear what you think of our food. Unfortunately, it'd be pretty expensive trying to get a hold of all that food 😢
As far as fast-food chains in the US go, for burgers: Wendy's>>>>>>>McDonald's>>>Burger King For southwestern food / tacos+burritos: Moe's >>>>>>>Chipotle >>>>>>>>>>Taco Bell For chicken: Chick-Fil-A and Popeye's are different, but both serve excellent food. Boston Market used to be a really excellent competitor to Popeye's, but they have fallen off hard in recent years and it's unfortunate. For subs/sandwiches: Jersey Mike's >>>>> Subway >>>> Quiznos For pizza.... don't go with a chain. Go to a legitimate pizza place owned and ran by Italians / New Yorkers. The quality difference is immense. Though I guess if you have no other choice, Domino's is certainly much better than Pizza Hut. There are also some burger chains that cover smaller areas but are WAY better than the Big 3 (McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's). In-N-Out is famous for its quality, and Fuddrucker's is extremely good and very very underrated.
Always happy to see a new video posted. I'm not sure which is odder to discover. That the Mcdonalds Black Pepper Garlic Sauce smells like Mr. Eats pillow, or that Mr. Eats pillow smells like Black Pepper Garlic Sauce. 日本のマクドナルドに行ったことがない。でも、日本のマクドナルドが多分最高思います。 すみません, practicing Japanese. I've never been to a Japanese McDonalds, but It's probably better. スターバックス食べ 放題ですか。 ほんとにですか。 Is it true? Starbucks Buffet (バイキング?) I wouldn't mind trying that. In Wisconsin, we've had Custard shops also try selling the bacon shakes, but it's usually a very limited time, or April Fools Day only.
I had the whopper in Toyko. I found the texture of the beef patty tasted different. I liked the greasy in American patty. In Tokyo The Kobe hamburger was good. Not a normal item you see on fast food menu in America. I think the chain was called Lottery 🤷🏻. It was a few years ago
I love McDonald's here in the US but I would love a shrimp burger!!! Looks so good. I am jealous that we don't have those dishes here in our fast food places...
It would really be interesting to see a video about vegan food in Japan. One of my worries about potentially traveling there someday is that I won't learn enough Japanese to find out about what's in my food or where I can go to eat. The food sounds delicious, but I am very passionate about my diet choices and wouldn't want to cause any nuisance with my lack of knowledge.
@Mr1611 Well, I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life now and eating a plant based diet made diabetes disappear for me. So, I think I'm good. No animals need to suffer for me to eat. Do whatever you want. I'm not trying to convert anyone or push anything. I'll do my thing and you do yours.
Every single non-US fast food is ALWAYS ALWAYS *ALWAYS* better! Bc Americans are often very dim and will gladly accept, if not _demand_ the lowest possible quality foods! Meanwhile, everyone else has better standards.
I had the Samuari mac on my last day in Osaka at the Kix airport. Other great places imo Freshness burger and Kua 'Aina by Rinkutown and joyful restaurant also by Rinkutown.
I definitely have to try these when I next visit Japan this year or next. Please consider putting the addresses of these locations in the information section so we can visit them!
You should be able to easily finding anything on Google maps these days just from knowing the names of these establishments. And if this were the old days before smart phones, an address would probably not do you much good anyway because addresses in Japan are not based on street numbers and names like they are in the USA (very few streets even have names). In fact, the address system can be so confusing that even most Japanese people would probably have difficulty finding a place by address alone without a smart phone.
My mother loved shrimp burgers in Japan. Her favourite would be MOS Burger, First Kitchen and then Lotteria. She rates the coffee highly at these places too. Sandwiches at convenience stores were also great. For mornings, we loved Mr Donut, which also had shrimp items, as many cafe style places did. Deli France was good too. Never tried Starbucks as it's rubbish even in America. 😛 I can't remember her thoughts on McDonald's shrimp burgers as we preferred the others. Mostly I remember the excellent teriyaki burger, and at the airport I fondly recall that one with a garlic flavour. In comparison to the American versions of these chains, the local flavours in Japan make a difference. Some of the common items, namely the chicken nuggets, aren't as good. Overall with fast food, America wins due to the sheer options. Places like In N Out, Panda Express and Chik Fil A, they are untouchable! McDonald's is just so low priority for a visitor in America, as it would be in Japan compared to their local options like MOS Burger.
They quit doing the fried apple pies & switched tobaked ones here in the us like 10-20 years ago & they are no longer as good, buttermilk chicken sandwich is probably one of their better offeroings if they have it but that's different from just the chicken sandwich. the regular starbucks looks similar (you can get matcha stuff in starbucks here too) but the buffet is definitely better looking. dominos has a jalapeno bacon cheesy bread that's very good & worth trying if they offer it there.
It's kind of infuriating when American restaurants out-American the locations at home when they expand into another country. Give us that stuff at home.
For the most part, the big American fast food chains are "last resort" food. Fortunately, there are smaller chains that compare much more favorably to Japanese options: Five Guys, Burgerville, Shake Shack, etc.
@@SonOfTheDawn515 Yeah, Five Guys costs too much, but the quality is miles above the big chains (a low bar, I realize...). Shake Shack is nationwide:started in NYC, but the one I've eaten at is in LA. Burgerville is Pacific Northwest.
I love American burger joints but freshness burger is such a fantastic deal for such a high quality sando. Mos burger is also tasty. Shogun is a nice place also. If you're even in Utah valley go to any of the Chubby's locations. It's also hard to beat mexican fast food in Utah
The best way to judge fast food places is to order the number one thing on the menu to compare. MacDonald's order the Big Mac while Burger king order the Whopper. There is problem with Shrimp and Macdonald's in the states actually as it falls under the food allergens category and because of that the chain can't serve it. There is a regulation in the states that restaurants must state the allergens on a menu or not serve it at all. Macdonald's went the route of not serving it.
Oh yea, used to dutch McD..i definitely recommend trying of course the teriyaki burger. Or the simple hamburger with egg on it (was only 150¥ in '19) if they still got it. Local Dominos here are just bad. 4€ supermarket pizzas are way better even. I do admit, best ever McD burger is still the German McRösti. Patty, bacon, cheesy mayonaise and a big fried plaque of rösti. And bacon in the top of the bun. And Germany is only 15 minutes away... too bad it's limited
The bacon shake is not a bad idea. There is a diner chain where I am from, George Webb, that sells Sundaes and is famous for being open all night. Occasionally, I'll go in, order a sundae and a side of bacon and crumble the pieces up, and mix them into the ice cream and eat it. Some people look at me strangely for it, but then again some dude eating a bacon sundae is probably not the worst thing to happen in a cheap diner at 2 AM.
7:23 This pizza does fit with a small demographic here in the states that certain men are literally obsessed with anime. There are even anime conventions, weebs with body pillows of anime girls, etc. Even my hero academia have what is called Shipping, which is in very excessive amounts.
I love the fact that in Japan and other asian countries, they have lots of limited time things. Yeah sure they're weird sometimes and sure some of them are going to taste awful, but you get a lot of great hits too, and its just the fact there is ALWAYS something different and unique to try

intriguing
They are!!!!!
4:24 Back at ya! 🤘
This video was so good!
I love American burger joints but freshness burger is such a fantastic deal for such a high quality sando. Mos burger is also tasty. Shogun is a nice place also. If you're even in Utah valley go to any of the Chubby's locations. It's also hard to beat mexican fast food in Utah
Please more Uncle George reaction videos..they and your are so amazing funny there.
The best way to judge fast food places is to order the number one thing on the menu to compare. MacDonald's order the Big Mac while Burger king order the Whopper.
There is problem with Shrimp and Macdonald's in the states actually as it falls under the food allergens category and because of that the chain can't serve it. There is a regulation in the states that restaurants must state the allergens on a menu or not serve it at all. Macdonald's went the route of not serving it.
Go to a McDonalds in Taiwan, the "Big Mac" is 1/2 the size of the American BM and so is everything else! It's a joke!
in singapore, during chinese new year we get absolutely delicious curly fries 😍😍
I would never try an American restaurant while on a vacation in another country. But now I might need to try McDonalds in Japan.
You had me at me at shrimp burger
Oh yea, used to dutch McD..i definitely recommend trying of course the teriyaki burger. Or the simple hamburger with egg on it (was only 150¥ in '19) if they still got it. Local Dominos here are just bad. 4€ supermarket pizzas are way better even.
I do admit, best ever McD burger is still the German McRösti. Patty, bacon, cheesy mayonaise and a big fried plaque of rösti. And bacon in the top of the bun. And Germany is only 15 minutes away... too bad it's limited
The bacon shake is not a bad idea.
There is a diner chain where I am from, George Webb, that sells Sundaes and is famous for being open all night.
Occasionally, I'll go in, order a sundae and a side of bacon and crumble the pieces up, and mix them into the ice cream and eat it.
Some people look at me strangely for it, but then again some dude eating a bacon sundae is probably not the worst thing to happen in a cheap diner at 2 AM.
I dunno. When I was in Japan, they put wasabi mayo in their burgers. Tasted weird. I mean, I can eat it, but wasabi and burgers hardly go together.
7:23 This pizza does fit with a small demographic here in the states that certain men are literally obsessed with anime. There are even anime conventions, weebs with body pillows of anime girls, etc. Even my hero academia have what is called Shipping, which is in very excessive amounts.
So would the pizza rice bowl be like a doria?
As a Canadian who really dislikes the taste of coffee Japanese Starbucks is making me gelious.
I love fun videos like this! Thank you ! Arigato!
I loved Carl's Jr opening in Tokyo! I'd eat there every week!
Can you list the address to the "Starbucks" buffet? When I visit Japan next, I would like to check it out. ☕
Welcome back!
Whoever is narrating Your voice is very cute 😊😊
Great video!
I wish we had japanese Macdonald's in Canada; all we have is Tim Hortons and the Mcpoutine.
Mrs. Eats, eating. Truth in advertising! ;)
Yes! I love to eat!
the biggest offence of japanese fast food is no taco bell. T bell and wendy's are pretty much the only fast food ill even bother with anymore lol
Taco bell is in shibuya
I love the fact that in Japan and other asian countries, they have lots of limited time things. Yeah sure they're weird sometimes and sure some of them are going to taste awful, but you get a lot of great hits too, and its just the fact there is ALWAYS something different and unique to try
"Black pepper garlic sauce smells like Mr. Eats' pillow." 😂
How you added the subtitles with word by word highlight effect in start of video?
Thanks
