At Oto, unlike at Kincho 6, all the staff are friendly and the service is provided without any problems. The teritama never disappoints with its delicious taste every year. The new strawberry daifuku is a happy taste, with mochi stuffed inside an apple pie crust. The waiting time is short and the service is pleasant. The second floor is clean, quiet, and perfect for relaxing. The potatoes are always crispy and delicious. The staff are always cheerful and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful.

First, they need to manage the parking lot because it's a mess. I managed to get a seat, but the service was slow because it was crowded and they only had one person at the register. They also had Uber Eats orders to handle. Overall, it was good food and worth it after a long time.

On Friday night, I planned to study at McDonald's in the morning after working overtime and staying up past midnight, but ended up oversleeping. Since I missed my original plan, I went out around 10:30 AM to walk the dog and do some cleaning. My destination was the pet grooming store called Kojima, where I was getting my daughter's pet groomed and shampooed. It usually takes about 2 hours, so I decided to stop by the McDonald's next to Kojima. I spent some time studying there. There's a KFC across the street as well. The first floor of McDonald's was mostly full, but the second floor was a pretty clean space. It looked like it was recently renovated. The exterior was small and cute. Since I already had breakfast, I ordered an iced coffee and a McDonald's McFlurry with white balls on top, using a coupon. I sat at the counter facing outside, enjoying the smooth soft serve ice cream with chewy white balls on top. The rich custard sauce and crunchy cone crumbs enhanced the deliciousness of the soft serve ice cream, creating a new sensation of cool sweets. This is McDonald's promotional slogan. The ice cream was a bit melted and shapeless, but there were more white balls than I expected. It was sweet and delicious, but I wish it hadn't melted as much. I always end up eating something when I come to places like this. I know someone who passed a difficult exam in a short period of time, but he couldn't study at home and basically turned into a regular at family restaurants. He passed the exam but gained 8 kilograms. Just sitting down and using your brain can be tiring, so it's easy to crave something to eat as a distraction. The restaurant was quite empty when I arrived, but by the time I left around noon, there was a long line. I discovered that this McDonald's was a good place to study.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

I wonder what "Gudetama flavor" is? It seems to have two types of sauce on it, but the McFlurry is always so messy that it's hard to tell. Anyway, onto the product introduction... There seem to be several different designs on the cups!

I went to McDonald's for the first time in a while, so I decided to update. I had a Big Mac (370 yen) and a Double Cheeseburger (340 yen). Perhaps because I had visited a few highly rated bakeries on Tabelog, I felt that the bread at McDonald's was somewhat lacking in taste. I also wished the beef patty was a bit thicker. In the end, two items cost 710 yen, which was surprisingly high. The Sausage McMuffin for 100 yen in the morning is cost-effective, but during regular hours, the prices are higher than I expected. The store used to be open 24 hours, but now it closes late at night. McDonald's seems to be facing various challenges. The limited-time menu this time was the 3rd installment of McDonald's around the world, featuring Australia. I tried the Cheese Aussie Deli (390 yen) with yellow mustard sauce and herb vegetable sauce, which were quite tasty. The pastrami beef inside was a bit salty, and the thin slices lacked volume. The ranking for this promotion was 1st place India, 2nd place Aussie, and 3rd place France. The limited-time menu this time was the 2nd installment of McDonald's around the world, featuring India. I tried the Mild Gold Masala (380 yen) and Hot Gold Masala (410 yen), both with juicy chicken and curry sauce. The curry sauce was authentic and delicious, and I was impressed by how McDonald's managed to achieve such a high level of flavor with mass-produced sauce. The Indian menu was tasty, unlike the French one. It received high praise as a chicken burger, following the Lemon Salt burger. I look forward to trying the Aussie Deli from the 3rd installment next time. McDonald's is a well-known fast-food chain in Japan, and even kindergartners are familiar with it. I know it may seem odd to review McDonald's on Tabelog, but I like to try their limited-time menus, so I wanted to share my thoughts as a reminder. This time, the limited-time menu was the 1st installment of McDonald's around the world, featuring France. The Le Grand Tomato (390 yen) and Le Grand Sausage (420 yen) had ciabatta buns, but the texture was not great as they stuck to the roof of my mouth. Overall, this menu was below average. I look forward to trying the Gold Masala from India in the 2nd installment next time. First posted in August 2012, updated in August and September 2012, and July 2015.

When it comes to McDonald's, it is the most famous fast food chain in Japan. There used to be two stores in Aoto not long ago. There was also a store in front of Aoto Station. Now it has become a Daiso shop. There is only this store along Route 6 Mito Kaido in Aoto now. On the opposite side of Mito Kaido, there is a KFC outlet. Up is McDonald's, down is KFC. Both have drive-thrus, and many customers buy food by car. KFC closes at night, but this McDonald's is open 24 hours. It also serves as a rest stop for tired drivers in the early morning. There are only 3 counter seats on the first floor, but there are many seats on the second floor. If you eat in, it is better to use the second floor for a more relaxed experience. Currently, they are selling a limited-time Chicken Tata. Not only Chicken Tata, but also a new menu item called Chicken Tata Wasabi Tarutaru has been introduced. Chicken Tata Wasabi Tarutaru was priced at 340 yen for a single item. It comes with a potato and a drink in a set, but I bought it as a single item to take away. The bun is thicker and fluffier than a regular hamburger. The chicken inside is juicy and tender. It goes well with the wasabi tarutaru. Truly a McDonald's creation. Hamburgers start at 100 yen, making it a place that anyone can easily use, regardless of age or gender.

There is a hamburger with pancakes soaked in maple syrup, bacon, and a hamburger patty in between. It's called the McGriddle from McDonald's breakfast menu. I was curious about what it would taste like when salty and sweet things are sandwiched together. So, I mustered up the courage to wake up early and rushed to the breakfast at McDonald's. It was 10 am, just in time before the menu changed. I ordered the McGriddle. They said I couldn't upgrade my drink to a large size. Frustrated, I ended up getting an additional small size instead. I sat down on the second floor to eat. I took a bite of the McGriddle. Wow, this is a new sensation. After finishing it, I realized that breakfast in America consists of crispy bacon, sunny-side-up eggs, and pancakes.

[Cuisine] I ordered a Big Mac, fries, and a coke. It's nice that the taste is always the same no matter when or where you order. I usually use it when I need to kill time rather than for the purpose of a meal. [Service] Lately, it feels like the service has been declining at McDonald's no matter which location I visit. Convenience stores seem to be more attentive. [Ambiance] It's hard to notice, but having the same ambiance everywhere is actually a benefit. [Value for Money] Prices have been increasing recently, so I have to say that the value for money has decreased. Despite that, I still go to McDonald's occasionally!

During the period from July 1st (Fri) to July 14th (Thu), there is a special offer at McDonald's during breakfast hours where you can get an Egg McMuffin and a small coffee for 220 yen. If you choose a different small drink instead of coffee, the combo is 200 yen. Also, a new item called the Sausage Muffin is available for 100 yen during breakfast hours, and you can get a combo with the Sausage McGriddle for 220 yen. This offer does not include a hash brown, unlike the regular set which costs 430 yen. The 6th Avenue Aoto store, located along Mito Highway, has a drive-thru and is open 24 hours a day. I visited this store to have breakfast. The breakfast hours are from 5 am to 10:30 am. Although I usually enjoy the Filet-O-Fish set for 440 yen, I couldn't resist trying the 2 Egg McMuffins and coffee for 220 yen due to the limited-time offer. The Egg McMuffin, which I haven't had in a while, was delicious. At this price, it feels like a good deal compared to cooking breakfast at home. I believe that McDonald's in Japan has a large number of stores, good service, and possibly the cheapest prices in the world. Don't miss out on this special offer!

Thank you as always, McDonald's. I tried delivery for the first time, and ordered the Garlic Shrimp and Mango MacFizz from the Hawaii menu, as well as the Green Hawaii Mix Berry Pancake-flavored McFlurry, and Spicy Butter Chicken Curry Sauce Nuggets. I've been feeling a bit low on appetite, so I decided to boost it with some spicy food. The Garlic Shrimp was spicier than I expected, with a strong garlic flavor, but the chili sauce was even spicier. The MacFizz was refreshing and perfect for summer. The standout was the Butter Chicken Curry Sauce Nuggets, with a rich curry flavor and hints of butter chicken. The McFlurry was not as impressive. The delivery fee was around 300 yen, and the delivery person was polite. It's great for those times when you don't feel like going out.

Title "Chicken Tatuta!" On the way to a business trip in Tokyo, I stopped by for breakfast. They were having a free coffee event, so I decided to take advantage of that. When I arrived around 9 am on a weekday, there were two staff members, a young man and a slightly older woman. There were about 3 seats on the first floor, but customers were mostly directed to the second floor for dining in. Upstairs, there were around 15 customers, ranging from elderly people to high school couples, housewives, and small groups of office workers, creating a diverse atmosphere. I was a bit surprised to see high school students leisurely hanging out at McDonald's after 9 am, but maybe they had extra time before school. I ordered the free coffee and Chicken Tatuta for 380 yen. It only took 2 minutes from ordering to serving. Chicken Tatuta is a burger with a special bun, chicken patty mixed with ginger soy sauce, shredded cabbage, and a light-colored sauce, priced at 380 yen, making it quite a premium burger. It was easy to eat and very tasty, but I personally felt that it was a bit overpriced at 380 yen. I thought it should be around 250 yen. Next, I tried the coffee, which was consistently good. It wasn't as great as coffee from a specialty shop, but for around 100 yen, it was enjoyable with milk and syrup. I decided to try the Chicken Taruta next time, but since I was not completely satisfied with Chicken Tatuta, I thought maybe I should go for the Mac Griddle instead. I realized I should have tried the Taruta first since I prefer that type of dish. (2018.2.28)
