Are Tokyo's McDonald's different?

Most of the menu items are going to be the same as in the USA, there are a few differences, of course, there are some items on the menu that I would love to get back in the states.

The Teriyaki burger definitely was a good burger, I liked the mos burger version better but it was still very good.
They have a shrimp burger usually as well,never tried it but it looked good
There is also a different breakfast sandwich that comes on a really soft bagel, no idea what it was called, but it was really good.

As someone else said, as you enter, they bow to you and usually say irrashaimase (basially welcome) they have a picture menu on the counter (flip it over for the english menu) that has all the items in japanese with prices, a setto (set) is the sandwich, fries and a drink, you usually save a few yen that way.

One difference you will find all over Japan, you have to seperate your trash when throwing it away, plastic goes in 1 place, paper goods another, and you pour your left over soda/ice down a third area.

The food is amazingly well prepared, and the attention to detail is extreme. You would never get a half smashed covered in grease double cheeseburger in a Mcdonalds in Japan, instead it will look exactly (or better) than the picture.

The menus are mostly the same, except in Japan they have a few special Japanese-style items. I think I remember seeing things such as rice, seaweed salad, teriyaki burgers, tempura burgers, etc.

One thing I noticed is that the actual food looks EXACTLY like it does in the photos; for example, the Big Mac is just as thick and has just as much lettuce and sauce as it does in the pictures, and the lettuce is just as green and crispy, etc.

Oh, and I love the way all the employees stop what they are doing to bow and welcome you when you come inside the restaurant.

But if you eat fast food in Japan, I recommend the Mos Burger chain!

I can't answer for Tokyo, but when I went to Beijing, China the only difference was that there was someone working in the dining area to help seat you, there was a sink to wash your hands in the dining area, and they took more pride in preparing the food (bun not squished, centered meat, neatly folded burger wrapper, etc.), but it tasted the same as the USA.

I've saw pictures, they're physically different of course, because they jutt out in their Japanese style, but I'm sure the food is the same.

Smaller size. A small drink in U.S. is large in Japan. I like Japanese Egg Mcmuffin, though. They use ham, instead of sausage.

jennychen

they have McSushi

ilovepurple

as what my teacher in highschool said. when someone from the other countries franchised a branch of McDonald's, thery can add any menu that they want to add, but the basic menu should not be removed.

It's not exactly the same but they have similar stuff:

They have the same basic menu but they have more to choose from in terms of sandwiches, fries, drinks, desserts, etc. For example they have an ebi burger (shrimp burger), potatoe WEDGES (yummm!), and variety of drinks besides coffee and cola.

They still have some of the basics (cheeseburger, fries, etc) but they also have rice, sushi, more fish options and other Japanese foods.
