McDonald's in Vietnam is actually good

[@DarkRaiseSun]

Damn i thought this would be at least a 200k channel by the quality of the video. I'm sure it'll grow into that in no time! Nice video man

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks for the comment, I'm working on it 😃

[@lifeofpete5904]

Agreed! Keep it up Travis, glad I found your channel 🇻🇳

A double Quater pounder with cheese, larger fries, and large coke is $13.00 US in Oviedo, Fl.

[@SlackHoffman]

It’s not cheap in the states anymore it’s gotten so darn expensive for any fast food

[@CHEERS_FEEL]

One major reason why McDonald's is so successful specifically in today's age is because they have mastered the Drive-Thru. When wagecucks drive home from work (please note the importance of *driving* culture), they are often battered from a long day of hard day of work and also a long drive home. Cooking is the last thing they want to do: And thus the Golden Arches bring comfort and convenience to solving that one great task. Moreover, the actual drive-thru system itself was engineered and mastered by McDonalds; to which every other fast food restaurant has copied thereafter. While I cannot comment on Vietnam, I think it's not a stretch to say it's difficult implant American-style "Fast Food" since it isn't synonymous with South-East Asian consumption habits.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I think you're right, Drive Through doesn't exist in Vietnam. Good point

[@HoangLe-ht5fo]

Thank you for showing us around Vietnam. ❤🎉😊

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thank you for watching hope you enjoy some other videos 👍

That meal in Canada would cost about 24 Dollars or 18 USD.

Went to a Mc D's in Munich Germany 1976. Great food and Beer !

Travis - love your awesome vids, ie, detailed, informational, and show-casing all of Vietnam.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks very much for the comment!

[@hisnameisvu]

Give me a banh mi anytime over a big mac, banh mi in Vietnam is more satisfying 😊

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Agreed. I was surprised it was better than I thought. I think better quality than McDs in America

[@HaiNguyen-mj5pd]

@@TravisTravelsVN100% agreed fast food in Vietnam is different and better than in the States. Chicken is juicier and moist. I had Jollibee and KFC they were also much better. Fast food in the states, the food is old and oily.

[@ChristopherDPetersonMN]

Traveling overseas with my wife and kids for the past decades, I would make a point of it to visit a McDonald’s restaurant due to being influenced by The Economist Big Mac index. PPP via a burger. Alas, I am now a vegetarian and not too interested in fast food. Bon appetite and still, another good video, dude. Cheers.

[@kyles5337]

Enjoyed the video! Thank y'all.

[@randysvids4774]

I notice that when I am in any Asian country it’s much easier to control my eating and have no desire to overeat

[@brownpunk1794]

Thatz coz its REAL food

[@davedanger4414]

@@brownpunk1794 I think it's because it's cheaper. He mentioned he pays $1-3 to eat locally at any corner restaurant. In the US, if you stop in at any restaurant, it will easily be 3 times as much as fast food. You can go to McDonalds and spend $6-8 for a meal or you can go spend $15-30 any where else. Something needs to be done there. That's a huge cause of obesity in US. If everyone had access to $5-10 for a REAL FOOD meal, then obesity would plummet. He could spend $2 for pho where he is. Here, it's closer to $15.

[@jamestravis1037]

38.000 + McDonald's worldwide.

[@kgtrains]

McDonalds still suck in the US.

[@quangb8448]

It's not really cheap anymore. Haven't been to a McDonald in about a decade.

[@remokazzi]

the mc flurry is a nightmare of chemicals tho

[@TravisTravelsVN]

haha definitely thats why I have one every 5 years

[@HidenoriTakashi]

The healthy factor is not much of the turn off in vietnam. Mostly because pricing, for 1 Mc meal we can get 2 phở portions or 3 cơm tấm, so we eat Mc when we feel like a rich person. And in the past, 20 years so, 1 Mc meal equal 7 phở. So that is why we don't do fastfood as much.

[@JoyfulDalmatianPuppies-zw1wp]

Hi Travis, for the very first time I watched your shows, I enjoyed them very much. I left Vietnam 37 years ago. The last time I went back to visit was in 2003. Which means 22 years now. But after watching your shows, I was impressed by how Vietnam has developed a lot. I wish you all the success in Vietnam! Plz keeps making more videos. I love it! I hope your channel will grow to 2 million subscribers or more. Peace! All the best, Travis! ❤❤

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks very much for the comment I appreciate that!

[@remedychef]

Great job just sticking to the meals you like vs the gimmicks. Your own Google map guide is a great idea and choosing a non-adventurous meal was very thoughtful. When I was training as a Chef my instructor deducted marks from my menu project because all my items were adventurous without a simple or basic selection. So full marks for you. Cheers

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Great comment, I appreciate the feedback.

[@nelsoky]

I went to McDonald's in Vietnam and it was the most delicious McDonald's I have ever had. So and fresh.. nice video thanks.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I agree probably the best I've ever had

[@SlackHoffman]

MacDonald’s French Fries 🍟 are total sh*t . If you don’t eat them immediately as soon as they cool down they turn into coffin ⚰️ nails. Total Garbage

[@philly5164]

Lmao as an Asian American I dislike Mcdonals as well. I’ll eat it maybe once a year but Vietnamese food I can eat daily

[@DEEPCYCLEGARAGE]

I haven't eaten fast food in over 25 years. I try to avoid seed oils. Do they use seed oil for frying in Vietnam?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes they will use cheap oils for frying at local vietnamese places, I try to avoid too many fried things

[@DEEPCYCLEGARAGE]

@@TravisTravelsVN I only use Butter, ghee, beef tallow, and avocado oil for pan frying at home and I've never deep-fried at home. If I go out I don't ask. Love the vids.

Nope, Still Sucks. Arizona here. I do miss the open-air markets overseas Portugal, Spain and Italy/Sicily. But that was in the 70-80's

I never eat fast food in Vietnam I stick to local stuff !

[@willneedwater]

When i was there a few years ago. It was the heat of the country that stops the fast food urge.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Good point. Greasy food doesn't sound appealing in that case

[@kaith-xc3um]

[@TravisTravelsVN]

[@Usatorok]

Very cool video when we lived in Vietnam in 2009 2010 there were no McDonald’s. There were a ton of KFC and other fast food but no McDonald’s and you’re absolutely right everybody loves eating street food because it’s faster it’s ready it’s fresh and it’s cheap bonus for westerners is it’s healthy, great channel

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I believe there's only about 15 in the whole country now. It definitely hasn't caught on

[@ocmanga5685]

Đúng vậy, vào dịp tết nguyên đán năm 2010, tất cả các cửa hàng địa phương đều đóng cửa. Và lựa chọn duy nhất của tôi là vào một cửa hàng KFC. Đó là lần đầu tiên tôi ăn đồ ăn nhanh phương tây, và cũng là lần duy nhất cho đến hiện tại.

[@laughingoutloud3713]

Ok but these meals DON'T have less chemicals than anywhere else, still as unhealthy as it gets

[@mattlcasto]

Love the video. 1 meal here in US is easily $12 and the quality is much worse compared to 5 years ago.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks for watching bro

[@SkippyOnMeBalls]

Yea cuz american food is trash and most international food are dumbed down quality unless youre in the major tier 1 city like new york or chicago. 90 l% asian food in the states price are ridiculously hiked up and taste nothing genuine. Besides italian, its ridiculous hard to find a good french, german, spanish food. And the sushi in the states for the love of god.

[@Mcky-lw1zb]

Fast foods doesn't work in Viet Nam cause you can find freshly made dishes in every corner. But people do like McD's there. It's sort of a novelty, something different.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes too many other cheap meals

[@passedoutsober6322]

Sir...America is approximately TWO THOUSAND times the size of Vietnam!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yep that was my bad 😕

[@AndreGerritzen]

The secret of McDonalds product is that they not taste much. Somethings that taste like nothing can not taste bad. Think about burgers, fries and so on and the taste. The food has no strong or special taste. The quality is allways the same and consistency is good, but.... In vietnam they have so much tastefull and different options american fastfood isn´t that attractiv for the locals.

[@davedanger4414]

USA is 30 times larger than Vietnam. To put it in perspective, Texas is twice the size of Vietnam. Vietnam is almost as large as California.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

My mistake

[@andycollins6156]

No chicken and rice like that . Wow

[@andycollins6156]

[@cocochanel6495]

Mcdonalds has never been worse in North America. Food is grotesque, service is horrible, prices are higher than ever. I only go for coffee there as it is the only thing that is not going to kill you.

[@kpopbutlofi]

Mcd is in competition with the good tasting and cheap vietnamese food in the area, so they have to up their game and make higher quality food there

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Can you elaborate?

[@minigiant8998]

I got to McDonalds for a large diet coke because it's cheap at $1.50 lol

[@thumtlnguyen3626]

Some more points that McDonald's failed ( from a Vietnamese perspective) 1. 99.9% of Asians (Mongoloid) never use cheese as ingredient to cook their food. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Laotian....etc 2. McDonald's foods lack spices. 3. More expensive and less appetizing to Vietnamese taste. 4. McDonald's foods are dried foods that's why it's accompanied with soft drinks.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

All good points, especially about cheese. Cheese seems so common most places in the world but barely exists in Vietnam

[@misslilytoyou]

Korean street food has lots of cheese

[@Foxforce1978]

No fried chicken 🐔 😂 and super $pendy now… like $15 average for large combos Screens are now in all MickieDs

[@TravisTravelsVN]

The fried chicken actually not bad but you can get chicken rice at a local joint for about $1.50 much better

[@danielh377]

I'm eating Vietnamese food here at home in San Francisco while watching you eat crappy American food over there. My small meal is delicious and healthy but costs $16. I can't wait to move over there and eat better healthy, tasty food every day for just a dollar or two.

Mcdonald in Vietnam will always better than anywhere else in the world, if they do it Vietnamese way . Kill it eat it in the day Fresh veg pick it eat it in that day I was born in Vietnam and as I know early morning go to the market get the best choices, never by fish or prawn that not alive, Never know frozen food is until I move to UK, in the UK the meat have to be 21 day mature after kill before you can eat I find it strange, but I live here for 41 years now so frozen food is a none to me now , The price of Mcdonald in Vietnam compared to the UK still cheaper and I know in my haart Vietnamese people's make it better because the quality and the fresh ingredients that the country grew. In the UK you pay £ 8,69 for lager that hard to swallow the meat is dry , the chip is softly, I can't wait to go home to Vietnam the best food in Vietnam even Mcdonald.

I might eat fast food here in the U.S. twice a year. It's a plainly unhealthy habit. I specifically stopped eating at McDonald's over 30 years ago, because the McDonald's corporation gives money to anti-gun organizations.
