Why would anyone go to Burger King when there's First Kitchen/Mos/Lotteria?

As far as fast food burgers in Japan go, I rate 'em like this:

Kua'aina
Mos Burger
Wendy's
Burger King
Becker's
First Kitchen
Lotteria
McDonald's

But when you've got no money and need a quick bite, I'd take BK over the others for sure.

EDIT: Ah, forgot about Wendy's.

I love love love First Kitchen's flavor fries. They had ume nori the other day. They also had an awesome mattcha purin with shiratama and anko :)

Mos is probably second, they had a katsuo burger awhile back with takenoko and a fresh tomato sauce on it. *drool*. Kimpira rice burgers rock too. (I'm vegetarian, eat fish when I'm in japan though)

Lotteria randomly has cool things like gobo burgers and so on, so they're third.

Mac is barely ahead of wendy's because of their 100 yen menu, but I avoid going and almost never do.

Love Kua'aina's Avacado Burger! Oddly enough, I prefer the Japanese Kua'aina burgers to the original in Hawaii. Granted, they charge you more in Japan.
 
does the Japanese BK have any monstrosities like the McD curry burger.

I'm still scarred by that one. uggghhhh *shivvver

I'm guessing burger joints go over fairly well in Japan in general?

It's funny because McDonalds is the worst place to go for burgers.

Edit: Actually, they're like the worst fastfood restaurant, period.

Now all Japan needs is Taco Bell... of the non-octopus variety.

that failed here too... but god I hope it comes back.. Okinawa has an A&W rootbeer
 
Not to get too far off topic, but what is Japan's version of McDonalds? That is to say, is there a restaurant chain in Japan that is as widespread as McDonalds is in North America?
 
Yay, first Krispy Kreme, now BK! Which will have the longest line??

Actually can someone just tell me when is the correct time to go to Krispy Kreme? You know, when I don't have to stand in line for 2 hours to buy donuts.

No they need the octopus so that they can say the diahrrea was caused by tenticle rape and not the food.

Better yet in Okinawa they have taco rice . go to any decent taco rice joint, blows the shit out of Taco Bell

They have taco rice everywhere, it's not just in Okinawa.

The Japanese version of McDonalds, besides actual McDonalds... Hmm... probably Yoshinoya? Maybe Matsuya?

everywhere meaning around Japan? must be a Kanto thing if so..don't see taco rice places in the kansai area.
 
Japan needs a Sonic.

It would be worth it to see all those tiny asian teenage girls bringing you food on rollerskates.
 
Good lord... you folks that like Mos need to have your head checked. Terrible.

And Burger King is way above McDonalds, quality wise (though still obviously not a great burger place), so good to see them back in Japan. That's said even with Japanese McDonalds being way about McDonalds in America, quality wise.
 
I bet those stupid Japanese think that if they eat enough hambrgers and fries, their hair will become blonde, their eyes blue and their height will increase.

[shrug] I like MOS Burger, both in Hawaii (RIP) and Japan.

I really liked how Wendy's serves Pepsi instead of Coke in Japan, that was a nice change of pace.
 
Bad japanese pun time:

If they put those stoner "King" commercials in Japan, will he be called "King Larry," or in Japanese "ラリ王?"
