I live in Japan and I actually kinda miss going there because it’s pretty good here. Fast, cheap, friendly service, pretty clean and has cool happy meals for my kids. Unfortunately, my family has been boycotting US companies.
its partially because the american pallete keeps going back to whats recognizable and what theyre used to, more than being adventurous and trying new things. because of that, fast food establishments keep pushing to simplify menus, rather than expand it. (both to cut down prep time and because thats where the money is). Id reckon a lot of it is fueled by nostalgia and brand loyalty. to take a generalized example that can partially be global, see opinions on coke vs coke competitors.
Well the food is just one piece of it though, the restaurants in general are much nicer, cleaner, better layout, more unique features, friendlier staff… but probably because their media hasn’t demonized fast food work as for high schoolers and losers, and as such, they are paid well and actually care about their jobs.

I see that your AI enabled smart phone accidentally autocorrected fortunately, to unfortunately. Let the US crumble and enjoy the show.
I used to watch a lot of travel streams and it’s amazing how much nicer the American chains are in other countries lol.
Your first mistake was watching streams.
It definitely wasn’t my first mistake, but yes, and an expensive one.
KFC in South Korea was the worst KFC I’ve had in my life… but it wasn’t the worst experience.
Ah lol, well Korean fried chicken is legendary, so that’s not surprising that KFC is not so good/popular there.
