The bagels in the city are great but imo you gotta go to long island for the best bagels on the planet. The guys over here are using dark magic or smth to make them taste that good

[@matthewvazquez4455]

IRys said she had a bagel at least

[@dra6o0n]

Bagels are bagels though, the issue is that people are more familiar with bad foods than good ones so something being extremely good is because they've had little access to it. Most bagels are frozen and baked even in general supermarkets and bakeries. Bagels have extremely dense centers so I kinda avoid em as I get a upset stomach.

[@satorudo]

There's probably 2 things that would ahve shocked her 1) McDonalds being stupendously expensive. In Japan a BigMac MEAL costs 800 yen which is like $6USD. You can barely get a BigMac itself for that little 2) Ootoya is a cheap eats chain in Japan. Entire meals rarely cost more than 1000 yen. There's one branch in NYC. Everytime I go there there's always a few Japanese tourists wanting 'a taste of home' that come in all excited, then literally jump out of their seats when they see an edamame appetizer costs more than an entire meal back home.

[@herpderpinson2118]

Besides McDonald's, I hear beef is quite expensive over there, so it kind of makes sense to me that their stuff would be expensive here.

[@AlbertAdamsLincoln]

I mean consumer price index is different in every country, US's consumer price or salary are generally higher than asia countries, so there's so many westerner like to go vacation in Asia because of cheap consumer good, but they dont get average salary in Asia.

[@kiwi159753]

For burgers (at least in the American front range) you have to go to local joints to get the good ones. Look for places that have a bar along side dinner tables. That means they have an liquor license and for the most part chain restaurants don't go though the extra effort to obtain one. Another type of restaurant to keep an eye out for is an ol' style 1950's diner. The ones that have the vinyl swivel stools and booth tables up against the walls. Look up some pictures of "Gunther Toody's" for reference. And if you go to one order a milkshake.

[@StochasticUniverse]

McDonald's burgers are perfectly fine, which is why they've taken over the world -- but therein lies the problem. Because McDonald's exists everywhere, the ones in America aren't really different or special. If you've eaten McDonald's anywhere, you've basically had it in America, too. (This was a thing that came up when Raora said she'd never tried American cheese -- if you've eaten a McDonald's cheeseburger anywhere in the world, you've had American cheese, because it doesn't have to be made in America, only made to be a certain type of specification). People sometimes think that the McDonald's in America will somehow be better than the ones overseas, but they're not. The whole point of fast food is standardization. The McDonald's Corporation is literally trying to produce the same product everywhere (although there are regional differences sometimes, based on things like food availability or differences in the local palate). But the entire goal is sameness.

[@cupof_jo924]

Yeah you gotta go to places like Five Guys, Grub Burger, Hopdoddy, and places like that to get good burgers, but it’s so expensive

[@EduardoRodriguez-tu8nf]

@@cupof_jo924I’d say it’s well worth the price tbh. My local burger joint is pricey ngl, but their food and fries never disappoint.

[@jq4767]

@@StochasticUniverse Nahhh, McD's in America is actively worse than pretty much everywhere else in the world because America just has worse standards in all. Here it's bottom of the barrel and it's not even cheap to justify it anymore. You get some seasonal offers and that's it, not to mention the perpetually broken ice cream machines. Even among chains, just go to Wendy's and you blow McD's away instantly. Tons more options in food, drinks, and sides, they actually have some decent mix-and-match value offers and DO have unique local options. And even then Wendy's elsewhere blows american wendy's away, look up the video of Fubuki going through a Wendy's menu and there's all kinds of crazy cool stuff we don't get here.

[@nicolaspinto2927]

A diner burger is honestly the gold standard in America. Quarter pounder with fries and slaw is the quintessential American staple, though for NYC I'd suggest a dog. The metro area has the best dogs in the country imo. The very best ones are from vendors hanging around outside DMV or transit hubs.

American McDonalds for a hamburger? That's like going to a pig pen looking for fine dining. It's all slop. Hopefully can get a better and actual burger/food next time.

[@FreedomMaple]

Sui-chan: Pizza? Burger? Audience: *_Wooo!_* Sui-chan: Salad? Audience: _Booo..._ Sasuga America, expected nothing less of the *hamburger country* I'm glad she enjoyed Singapore's McSpicy, having ate many McDonalds around the world, Singapore's McSpicy is still the best McDonalds item hands down

[@PinoyKun32]

Sui-chan might be misremembering the MC cuz it was actually IRyS who tried to recommend salad over pizza.

[@faidzeelhisyamhattar2133]

Did you try the seasonal Prosperity Burger? They make in during the Lunar New Year season.

[@melisaartemis]

2:57 expression of Suichan when the disappointment is immesurable... PS: To be fair... I liken going to McD or KFC in US is like going to Japan and eating at Yoshinoya...

[@DesktopPanda96]

I like Yoshinoya 🥺

[@melisaartemis]

@@DesktopPanda96 It's not about like or dislike... it's the matter that you go all the way to Japan and out of all the places to grab something to eat, you pick the chain restaurant that wouldn't give you much different experience than the branch that you have at your own country instead. It's a safe choice, sure... but it's just... not exactly a "Japan experience" to tell anyone about.

[@StochasticUniverse]

@@DesktopPanda96 I like McDonald's sometimes, too

[@0boro]

​@@StochasticUniverse I mean it's fine but it's not a place that I'd take a friend who is visiting the US.

[@marocainforlife]

Well where I'm from there's no yoshinoya so it is indeed a worthwhile experience to eat it in Japan

[@SheeeenaH]

driving 1 hour for chick fil a is probably the best decision I have made in my life.

[@ShahroozSmith]

McDonalds isn't the worst place... it's just that there are a lot more better places to get a burger and with better service.

[@thighble69]

idk if they really even exist outside MN/the midwest, but i really want suisei to try a juicy lucy 😂

[@octopusoup]

I wouldn't expect her to know this, but if she wanted a unique American burger she'd want to go for a grill restaurant. McD is where you go for a cheap bite and indigestion (I've gotten bad stomach cramps from McD regardless of location in the US. Doesn't happen with other fastfood chains)

[@Ariaelyne]

less a 'cheap' bite and more a 'quick' bite these days.

[@Someone45356]

Istg the drink fountains at any of those fast food places (especially places like burger king) taste like bacteria. I always avoid getting drinks from there to avoid getting indigestion 2 hours later lmaaoo

[@dokutah7374]

Cheap bite? Where the fuck you at that’s cheap

[@dr.professor5229]

Aw, I wish she could have tried Shake Shack

[@jiroyamada9297]

shake shack already has 8 stores in Tokyo.

[@TehKang]

I'm glad Suisei got an authentic american mcdonald's experience lol

[@SuperButcherPete]

Lol man I feel bad for her. I know as an American, I mostly find myself jealous of the special menu items seen offered in other countries. I've always been under the impression you could get anything from an American McD's in those of other countries, in better quality, with more variety to the menu. Unfortunately, our stores have mostly downsized and don't do much creatively with the food

[@absalomdraconis]

McDonalds never really did much creative with the food. They actively prevent the individual locations from experimenting, because they value predictability more than appeal.

[@gizkadasha3989]

"My dissapointment is immeasureable and my day is ruined" Legends says that after Suisei visited that Mac, it's entire staff was forced to apologize to her personally, and the person who put pickles in her hamburger was threatened with an axe.

[@ohlawd6763]

Looking forward to the Suisei x Reviewbrah collab where they compare Japanese and American fast food places

[@sarafontanini7051]

pickle man: heh, so someone has come to challenge me? *boss health bar appears as he wields giant pickles as weapons*

[@YuSooKey]

So sorry Sui-chan had to suffer New York.

[@Jm0417-s]

American fast food is notorious for getting the order wrong and giving bad service. Especially in big cities. You do generally get good service in the locations in smaller towns and such. The best you can hope for at a busy nyc mcdonalds is that whatever they give you is hot. You can either get what you ordered, but cold, or something else hot. You can’t have both.

[@HartSickle]

Ah, the American city McDonald's experience. At least out McDonald's outside of cities usually get the order right. Well, at least more often than the busy ones in cities.

[@StochasticUniverse]

Going to New York and just eating McDonald's is the equivalent of going to Japan and just sitting in your hotel room and watching anime. What's the point of even traveling? You could've done the same from home, haha. The whole point of travel is having authentic, local experiences that can't be globalized by some large, soulless corporation.

[@Xick]

Being globalized by a large, soulless corporation _is_ the authentic local experience.

[@ivanj46]

Suisei: Who ate a salad today? Americans: Brother eugh.

[@guyver93]

If she wanted to see large portion size foods she should've gone to Texas lol

[@35P_From_Texas]

I know Cali will represent if there's like some huge event. She needs to ARBY'S her JP senpai hard and show them the meats. PAUSE! Suisei is looking for Whataburger or Sonic Burgers. Kiwawa wants to go to Buccees

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@35P_From_TexasDoesn't Watame also want to go to Whataburger? She totally should, for the memes if anything! lol

[@EganCraft]

I ain’t gonna lie. As a Texan, you get like 5x the amount of food for the same price in Tokyo. Food is getting so expensive and small even down here 💀

[@NazuRei-]

i bet Calli would bring a whole Texas menu to Japan if Suisei ask her 🤣

[@dra6o0n]

​@@NazuRei-Along with Gura.

[@TheMan21892]

I’m surprised none of the EN girls told her that all of the fastfood chains in America are awful compared to the ones in JP.

[@lqfr8813]

maybe she still insists to try even tho they already told her?

[@TheRover87]

Not for Nerissa because she didn't like any American food in Japan because they didn't make it greasy and unhealthy enough, so the flavour was off to her.

[@dead-claudia]

well, all the chains that have locations in both the us and japan anyways

[@StochasticUniverse]

She said in the video that the overseas managers tried to warn her that she was going on a snipe hunt looking for New York-specific McDonald's items, but I guess she wanted to try herself. Seeing is believing, and all that.

[@datlam7836]

Well the staff did but she probably wanted to try it anyway lol

[@kelp_00]

"𝓼𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓮 desu" - suisei

[@Ndom93]

tbh Singapore's McSpicy got nerfed. But most of us found and bought the original chicken patty.

it's weird finding out the us isn't bottom of the barrel when it comes to spice tolerance

[@ordinarydude2237]

​@@dead-claudia The US ranges from being mild to very spicy depending on the state and areas you live in It's the perks of a multicultural country.

Her first mistake was going to New York and expecting a good experience lmao

[@FALLN_KAMINARI]

Glad she tried american pizza as well, japanese pizza is something shouldn't be called pizza😂

[@NicoDoesLP]

Most Japanese pizza, anyway. Go to China for a real dogshit pizza experience. Only redeeming thing they had was that their Papa John's used the original recipe from way back when. I'm from Chicago and I hate chain pizza, but Papa John's in China was pretty decent

[@y0blo]

Last I heard Suisei was a big carnivore. So I'm surprised she feels bad for team salad.

[@dra6o0n]

So she'd love a steakhouse. Maybe they should go to a costco and buy steaks for a BBQ at a member's place?

[@gokbay3057]

I think she was just surprised. Probably expected at least a couple people to respond with having eaten salad even if they were far smaller than the Pizza or Hamburger group.

[@polkalamypekopeko2969]

Should have had Guga fly in and make a buffet of steaks

[@hoangthai9982]

Enough saying, now let's dew it 😂

[@RabbitBeanieOSC]

Guga there would've satisfied Suisei lol

[@blackmage471]

There are several reasons I have not eaten at McDonalds or similar fast food joints in over 20 years. Suisei's experience is a big one. If you want to eat a REAL American burger, or a REAL American pizza, go to a local joint. Local restaurants almost always have higher quality food and service.

[@StochasticUniverse]

In fairness, though, they will also probably be more expensive (unlikely to be an obstacle for Suisei, haha). Compare the cost of Domino's versus a local place. I've never known a local place to compete on price, which does matter for middle-class people.

[@kitsune9085]

Honestly, these days the prices are comparable

[@blackmage471]

@@StochasticUniverse You could buy cheaper food, but then you gotta eat it. Prices would be less of an issue if wages kept up with inflation, but alas. This is a big button topic, and I don't think it's worth digging any deeper. But I joke you not, I challenge you to not eat McDonald's or other fast food for a couple of years. I bet the next time you walk in you'll realize how bad it actually smells, and you'll be wondering how you ever ate the "food" there. You won't miss it or crave it ever again.

[@vallecend6855]

Isn’t McDonald’s the one American thing that is literally better anywhere else in the world? 😂

[@dorferino]

Add KFC to the list

[@TotemoGaijin]

Any American fast food that has branches overseas is better than the American version. McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc...

[@NicoDoesLP]

In terms of fast food, everything is better if it exists elsewhere.

[@RockhardConstructionPebble]

We have nice McWifi... I guess the playground is nice to have.

[@sileopatronus]

[@longiusaescius2537]

Accurate, Azumanga pfp

[@Mukyoukai]

3:08 As an American in Japan, I genuinely laughed out loud at this moment For those that don't know, it's super common for different McD's in Japan to have unique menu items by region or time of year (Tokyo is doing a Hawaiian theme for summer as I speak with items like shrimp burgers) America....does not do this 🤷‍♂️

[@Rosielx]

First rule in New York: don't expect some good food. Second rule in New York: don't expect good service. My poor girl suisei woke up from her dreamed US haha

[@ahoyforsenchou7288]

She experienced the Paris Syndrome but in New York.

[@nikik5567]

Damn so Suisei really got the genuine American experience…that’s a bit of a shame for her really. She learned just how subpar our food is.

[@agtwash3180]

Suisei went to an American McDonalds and got the American Mcdonalds experience 草

[@nidhoggstrike]

That's not such a dumb thing. It's fascinating to see how McDonald's change to please different cultures. You go to italy, BOOM! A burger with parmesan and balsamic glaze. You go to Norway, Boom! We still have McFeast on the menu because it was such a win here, and you can get oatmeal for breakfast. And so on.

[@Resolute.j]

Im guessing Suisei is referring to the McSpicy at 2:08. It is indeed a goated menu item; A must have for anyone at least once.

[@kaixabow]

Either that, or the McCrispy. Might be better than KFC tbh.

[@namo2403]

Considering she said it was only "alittle" spicy Her spice tolerance is much higher than what I thought

[@NicoDoesLP]

​@@namo2403she's one of the only holomem who likes spicy food genuinely

[@Sketchy.Slime.]

It's pretty funny that it's like a meme for Americans to visit Japan and choose to eat at the "familiar" McDonald's rather than something more unique to the trip, but then Japanese people will visit America and choose to eat the "familiar" McDonald's rather than something more unique to the trip as well.

[@loopyhawk]

Im upset she didnt get yhe experience she wanted. But I glad she got an authentic American experience with fast food.

[@dead-claudia]

it's definitely authentic that's for sure 😂

[@TotemoGaijin]

I mean, the most we get as far as "limited" items from Mac in America is the Shamrock Shake...But at least now Sui can keep other girls from making the same mistake of having any kind of expectation of American McDonalds.

[@StochasticUniverse]

There was limited time lobster thing in Massachusetts a while back. I think they discontinued it because it wasn't popular enough. Micky Ds is a volume business, and if you can't move a menu item in bulk, it's not worth keeping it around -- and the problem is anything that isn't one of the old standards ultimately doesn't move in large enough quantities to stick around.

[@dbagette]

Also the McRib

[@packnerz2017]

Suisei: No pickles pls Murica: YOU WILL GET ZA BICKLES!!!

[@-Raylight]

Love Suisei's english, it's so cute! Sasuga America!! xD

I kind of see her line of thought, McD is actually quite interesting everywhere else in the world with the cool unique menu. Well, we sometimes get the McRib but it's not the time for it yet, I guess.
