[Coligny]

That is all...

[Mike Oxlong]

That's tomorrow! Makkudo...C'est ça que j'm‎!

[matsuki]

Je suis tres desolee mais Mc rib est Merde!

At least it's made with australian meat instead of the local radioactive turd...

[AlbertSiegel]

I know what I will be eating tomorrow!

[Iraira]

Do they have a stamp card for 10% off angioplasty after 30 or so McRibs?

Touche...I wonder what that mess tastes like with some real BBQ sauce....

In the states, McRib was really awesome and they use thick BBQ sauce, but when they were selling it in Japan it was dryer than the Sahara desert! Very little sauce, No thick juicy onions or pickles and NO grain bun, they dose some Mayo on it and that's it! Pathetic. I'll pass on the Japanese version, just wait until I get to the states to get the real McCoy!

Seriously?! The Double Quarter Pounder here isn't too bad, then again nor is it all that good...

The QP is as good as it gets for McD's, it ain't a "Whopper" but it's decent. McRib Japanese style on the other hand is just downright nasty to the core. McD's doesn't have the best food, but in Japan, compared to the U.S. Japan's McD's is THE absolute worst. Their monthly burger versions are something of legend.
Salsa, tortilla chips with kidney beans? I come on, who comes up with these horrible ideas. Japanese generally can't make a burger properly and that's the fact.
In the states, McD's does carry healthier choices of sandwiches, huge selections and lower calorie meals and they do have pretty good salads.

Wait. Are you saying Whoppers are good?

Sorry Xen, but I am gonna have to take issue on this one. Their burger specials are almost always crap, as you state. But the particular one you mention above (possibly the Big America Texas 2, if memory serves) was a stroke of genius. A nice generous serving of nachos, crammed between your hamburger patty and the bun? Fking brilliant! I don't understand why they haven't introduced it in the U.S. It should be on the permanent menu.

I am NOT a fool, no matter what you say about any junk food, one must be out of their mind to criticize "PINKS" If there is a God of Hot Dogs, Pinks is the Lord of Lords!

You are joking right? The American Texas 2 was THE and I mean, THE biggest insult to Hamburger, I just don't know how else to put it. Anyone thinks like that doesn't know what a burger should be be like.

1) Tortilla chips- if you want that, just buy or make a taco. Remember]Kidney Beans[/B]- either as a side dish with Chicken (trust me) or with some rice and or corn bread with ham hocks, cat fish, the occasional T-bone. Never on a burger!!

3) Beef patty- Sadly Miki Dees beef patties are nothing to rave about, fried, dull and dry, but on this burger, the Japanese get the Gold medal for the worst fuck up, since the invention of the burger! Texas 2 was as dry as Texas itself. Not winning ANY big fans here.

4) Sauce- if you are attempting to put a sauce on a burger, it should be smooth and thick, NEVER watery and over tangy, because that's the only thing you will remember, the sauce and not the burger. The sauce on that piece of crap was designed for pasta, not for burgers.

5) Pre-packaged onions- Hey, don't be cheap!! If can't get real onions, then don't put fake ones on them either. Some of us have serious pride!!

6) Buns- This one is a real conundrum. What do Japanese people have agains t "whole grain?"

Sorry, but all those burger specials that Miki Dees had were like purposely tried and failed experiments. It's like they were just in a hurry to get the product out and not care about even the slightest hint of quality. Japan needs to seriously go back to the drawing board or study, really study as to what a real burger should taste like.

[matsuki]

Have to agree the Texas II was pretty horrible though the original Texas burger was nice. Those limited burgers are always hit or miss though.

As To Japanese MickieDee's, always seems like things are put together better and more consistently (TIJ so nothing surprising here) but I would have to agree that, just like when Wendy's was here, whoever decided to skimp on something when setting up how much to add, it usually made for something dry and tasteless.

[IparryU]

the only japanese made burger i liked from MikieDee's was the mega tamago...

i am not keen on putting eggs on my burger... but that was tasty...

sauce was just mayo and pepper
loads of cheese
not too much rabbit food
was even more delightful if you put some fries on it too...

now that was bomb

Opposite coasts, so you can be forgiven.

[Samurai_Jerk]

I've never had a burger in Japan that was good. Kuiaina Burger used to be passable but it's gone waaaaaay down hill. I've been to a few of the "gourmet" burger shops in Tokyo that people rave about. They've all sucked.

I've never heard of Pinks but that's probably because I haven't been to LA since I was 8 years old. Are their dogs all beef?

I'm quite familiar with Pink's in any event since I hail from that town.

Yes, their hot dogs are all beef in natural casings made by Hoffy.

There some place nearby in Tachikawa and Kokubunji that I think was simply called "THIS IS THE BURGER" and it was by far the best burger I've had in Japan thus far.

Ah, one of my all-time favorite topics... the world-class atrociousness of McDonald's in Japan.

Anyone noticed how they reduced the size of their buns to reduce costs/raise prices?

Here is a McMuffin. Looks good, huh?



Here is how big it really is. It's like a toy McMuffin.



My McDonalds sucks. It's one of the nicest and newest Mac buildings I've seen. Beautiful two story, a stand alone building. They closed the entire 2nd floor (seating for about 60 in wide booths and tables) to "save energy" (just another way to save costs...) and people have to eat standing up downstairs.

I counted 16 people behind the counter one day near lunch time. They have never had more than one register open (staffed by some new, slow, pimply faced teenager who couldn't operate the POS system) and customers are routinely lined up outside the door, but they never open another register. Sixteen people stumbling all over themselves in the kitchen doing nothing but busywork.

Business has dropped off now (and I think they're probably happy that they don't have to deal with pesky customers) so they wait is down to 30 minutes. They still have the lights off, A/C off and closed off the 2nd floor. It's 5 Coligny's on the crazy scale.

I don't eat there, but tried some new chicken burger thing they started last month at a different Mac and it was awful. God, I hate their fries, too.

If they really wanted to do something to save energy, they could try this: Make a system at every table that harnesses the rotational energy used by millions of customers every day as they turn around the french fry holder to eat them. (For Japanese newbies: business culture requires that the company logo be facing the customer for all items on the tray. The fry holder has the arches and name oriented with the opening (fries) at the top. You have to turn the paper thing around to get at the fires at the table. If they weren't such Coligny's they would have enough brain cells to figure out that they could invert the printing of the logo and name and save everyone a lot of time...)

They must throw away at least $1 million worth of sugar per year by not having a spark of intellect to ask the customer if they want it, rather than just giving everyone sugar and white soy stuff masquerading as cream for all the coffee they serve.

You know what? I really think Mos Burger is pretty good. I've never had a bad experience at one and I like it.

i went there with my wife when we were still dating many years ago... was really good... then i went there last month with her when we had to do some shopping... almost like they had a sex change...
they still had the selection of cheese (great), but the size just seemed... different...

my wife said that they got smaller and i knew i wasn't going crazy then (2 chu hais down the hatch before 1200... ya buddy)

That shiet ain't In-N-Out yo.....

i like in and out... but CJ's is better...
fuck your animal style
fuck your dry fries that you have to self salt
fuck your quad stacker
fuck your 16x stacker
fuck your white had and constant face cheese (smile not the food)

gimmie a six dollar western bacon cheese burger with jalapenos and a cookie on the side please.

LOL, I'd never go there if I could avoid it without much effort but when there is one on your doorstep, you're too lazy to cook, have no lemur with you that night to cook for you, and you're tired of Matsuya, MickiDee's is like the last resort booty call to handle your....errr hunger...and you don't have to kick her out afterwards.

You know what? I really think Mos Burger is pretty good. I've never had a bad experience at one and I like it.

You've obviously never ordered anything with mayonnaise included on it. It becomes a fucking mayonnaise burger. TIJ so don't say you can order it without the mayo. I like MOS in general though, usually decent looking lemurs up in there as well.

hahaha, yeah, it will never compare to IN-N-OUT but then what else does in the US?

Wow, you just gave me, like, Mega-stiffy. Could you send me a copy of that menu? It's got pictures right?
