The store has the register on the 2nd floor and seating on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. There is an elevator available, but it cannot be used after 9 pm. Mobile ordering was also stopped on that day. The iced coffee was delicious.

On this day, I used a coupon on the app to purchase a medium-sized iced coffee for 130 yen. The store has an entrance on the second floor, with seating on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. The staircases are very steep, so you can use the elevator, but it doesn't seem to be used much.

This is the McDonald's in front of Akihabara Station. It's been a while since I last came here. Ever since the prices went up, I've been staying away. I can't buy anything without a coupon now (laughs). In the past, the staff were mostly Asian foreigners, but recently there seem to be people from other countries as well. It's fine for simple orders, but it can get a bit tricky with more complicated requests. The "Premium Roast Iced Coffee (L)" is 250 yen, but with the coupon, it's 190 yen (tax included). It was my first time using the L size coupon. The store was crowded, but McDonald's is still very popular despite the price increase.

I visited the restaurant at 6pm on a regular day. It was moderately busy, but I had no problem finding a seat by myself. The mobile order system required me to pick up my order from the second floor even though I was seated on the third floor. The iced coffee was prepared quickly and the service was excellent in terms of speed.

A shop located a 1-minute walk from Akihabara Station. You go up to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors from the outside staircase, and there are seats. The interior of the shop is very beautiful and feels new. On this day, I purchased a pancake set from the Happy Meal. I received a toy from the register.

A McDonald's that had closed down next to Burger King at the Akihabara Station Showa-dori exit has shamefully returned. It's embarrassing, isn't it? It's like Yoko-san! Don't you know? Showa seems so far away now, even though it's Showa Street. The store is located on the 2nd to 4th floors of a newly built building. You can order at the counter on the 2nd floor and take your McDonald's sweets, milkshakes, and Hokkaido's Yubari melon in a small size for ¥150 to the 3rd-floor seats. Enjoy the view of the high-speed Route 1 Ueno Line without any traffic jams here.

In any case, it is very comfortable. What I expect from McDonald's is, first of all, a comfortable space and time, next is the affordability, and then the taste. I visited during the morning hours, and the interior of the store is spacious, with ample seating space and wide aisles. They offer a variety of seating options including tables, sofa seats, counter tables, and workspaces by the window, catering to various needs from individuals to large groups. The store is new, clean, and sophisticated. While the prices have increased, McDonald's offers outstanding cost performance compared to neighboring restaurants like Burger King, especially if you use coupons effectively. The quality of the food has been improving year by year. The coffee has been revamped with a balanced flavor profile that appeals to a wide range of coffee drinkers. The chicken nuggets now use only breast meat and chicken skin, but surprisingly, the taste remains delicious, and some may even prefer the new texture over the previous inconsistent texture of thigh meat. Overall, I think McDonald's is an incredibly wonderful restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I had work in Akihabara in the morning, and I got a little excited because it had been a while since I had been there. I ended up having all-you-can-eat yakiniku for lunch. I ate too much and couldn't move afterwards. Of course, I ate too much yakiniku and it affected my work in the afternoon. So, I decided to take a break at McDonald's. I ordered an iced coffee (M) and a small strawberry milkshake using the mobile order. It tasted the same as always. By the way, this McDonald's has the cashier on the 2nd floor and the seating on the 3rd and 4th floors, but the restroom is only on the 4th floor, which is a bit inconvenient.

A few years ago, Burger King was teasing on social media about demolishing the building and leaving. However, they have now returned with a new building that has vents for communication between floors (although I wish they were not visible to customers). Thank you for the meal.

It's hard to believe, but 2022 is coming to an end. The season of Gracoro is here! She was ahead of the game, enjoying a Gracoro at the morning McDonald's and feeling very satisfied. The other day, a LINE message came. Gugigigigigi... I smell betrayal (ФωФ). Let's go eat Gracoro soon. As she repeated this mantra, she suddenly realized it was Christmas Eve. Oh no!! The limited-time offer is ending. After work, she had some errands in Akihabara. On the way back, she spotted a new McDonald's on the second floor of a shiny new building. Let's go!! Gracoro set with Sprite and small fries, McNuggets with mustard sauce, totaling 820 yen. The building, which was recently built in the spring, had the customer seating on the second to fourth floors, so she went up to the third floor. She was given a large plastic number tag for her order. On Christmas Eve, she expected to see mostly couples, but there were actually quite a few solo diners like her. And some students studying diligently, snacking on fries and nuggets while making notes and mouthing words silently. She felt a bit embarrassed, having bought a hobby book she was looking forward to and not receiving much praise for her work that day. The Gracoro, which she had been looking forward to for years, felt a bit underwhelming this time. She returned and told her girlfriend, "Is it because of age? It must be age! You've become an old man!" Even when eating Gracoro, she couldn't feel the same excitement as before (ФωФ). That's how it is. While eating, she felt a bit lonely thinking, "Is this how it's going to be? That's kind of sad." Maybe if you take it positively as growth, life will become more enjoyable, like the author of Shima Kousaku, Kenji Hirokane, wrote, but... I wonder if that's really the case. This year marks 30 years since the trial sale of Gracoro began, and the official sale started 30 years ago, but McDonald's didn't do any special campaigns. I wonder if they will do something next year. ~ Although she ate Gracoro with a sense of loneliness, the McNuggets were the crispiest and most delicious she had eaten recently, and the Sprite was refreshing to her dry throat. Unlike the upset stomach and blue face she had at Maruchiba the other day, she had enough energy to think about stopping by Hakone Soba on the way back. Well, tomorrow is the real deal, Christmas! Let's get ready! Keep warm on the way home! ~ Date ~ 【Introduction 681st Store, Log No. 815】 [Date: December 24, 2022, Tabelog Rating 3.01]

I want to try the limited-time menu item "Fluffy Egg Rich Demi-Glace Croquette" at McDonald's, but every time I go to the local McDonald's on my day off, there are families with children lined up outside, making the store very crowded and not a relaxing place to eat. I missed out on the "Tsukimi Burger" before, so I really want to try the "Croquette" now! While I usually get on and off at Kanda Station, I happened to pass by Akihabara Station on my way to the office... Huh? I spotted a McDonald's on Showa Street! Wait, was it always here? I was drawn to the staircase leading to the second floor, and that's how I ended up here. This place is definitely worth coming back to!

There is a new McDonald's located on the 2nd to 4th floors of a building at the entrance of Showa Street in Akihabara. It's rare to see a McDonald's in this kind of location outside of a station building. The interior design features a lot of exposed concrete, which gives off a somewhat outdated vibe in my opinion. However, I find it interesting that McDonald's nowadays has different concepts and interior designs for each store, offering a variety of options. It must cost a lot to have such diverse designs, so I think it's worth respecting. The store was quite crowded from the morning, making it difficult to find empty seats on both sides. After wandering through the three floors, I finally found a table on the 3rd floor. The usual Sausage McMuffin set was delicious as always.

Chicken Crisp Muffin Combo for 200 yen at Burger King caused a poster controversy a few years ago. Now, McDonald's has returned to Akihabara along Showa Street. The new building has the counter and some seating on the second floor, the main seating area on the third floor, and more seating up to the fourth floor. I decided to stop by around 10 am on a weekday for a quick visit. Morning McDonald's "combo" is convenient for a quick bite. The texture of the muffin is really good. Although they were out of sausages, I was able to get the Chicken Crisp Muffin I wanted. I ordered a hot coffee as well, and the total came to 200 yen. I received my order and headed to the third-floor seating area. The view of Showa Street, the Metropolitan Expressway Ueno Line, and the Sobu Line from the window was quite interesting. The seats by the window have USB ports for charging smartphones. The Chicken Crisp Muffin was delicious, with a crispy muffin, a large chicken patty, mayo sauce, and lettuce. It's a simple and tasty meal. Overall, it's a good place to satisfy a small hunger, relax in a seat, and adjust your schedule. I will definitely visit again.

Chiyoda Terrace was completed in March 2022 in front of Akihabara Showa-dori Exit Station, with 9 floors above ground and 1 floor below ground. The new tenants include Seven-Eleven on the 1st floor, McDonald's on the 2nd to 4th floors, and Manekineko on the 5th to 7th floors. It may not be too exciting with all these well-known names, but it's not surprising that McDonald's is there since it used to be in the same location until January 31, 2020. There was an interesting incident when McDonald's closed, as Burger King, located two shops away, put up a poster to congratulate them on their last day. The message on the poster read: "Our neighboring McDonald's is closing today. We were able to work hard and challenge each other as good rivals and fellow Akihabara lovers because we were close to each other. It feels lonely to think about the future without McDonald's. It's a selfish request, but please visit them today. With smiles from us, the challengers who have been following their backs. Thank you for your hard work." This incident went viral on Twitter and McDonald's, being the subject, must have been aware of it. After two years and two months, McDonald's made a comeback and I visited for breakfast. I ordered the Chicken Crisp Marin combo (200 yen) with a hot coffee. The place was crowded, especially on the 3rd and 4th floors. I couldn't find a counter seat with both sides empty, so I sat next to an old man. The view from the 4th floor window overlooks the Sobu Line, Metropolitan Expressway, Showa-dori, and people crossing the pedestrian crossing in front of the station. The Chicken Crisp Muffin with lettuce and mustard was a nice touch. The hot coffee with it for 200 yen is really cheap. I looked around the store for any signs of a counterattack from McDonald's, but didn't find anything. Perhaps the reigning champion doesn't need to be shaken by an attack. Burger King's poster now has a message about their commitment to using natural ingredients and providing real food, emphasizing the importance of health and safety. They aim for a balance of deliciousness and peace of mind, continuing to deliver their carefully crafted burgers.

Akihabara Station's McDonald's at the Showa-dori exit has been around for quite a while, but it closed down temporarily about two years ago due to the building being renovated. During that time, the neighboring Burger King sent a cheeky message while dissing McDonald's in a vertical reading style, which became quite famous. Now, McDonald's has returned to the rebuilt building. The new store occupies the third floor and seems spacious, but the individual price for the Filet-O-Fish caught my attention at 350 yen, compared to other items priced at 200 yen. Will the revived McDonald's be able to get back at Burger King this time?

It was my first time visiting here, but unfortunately, my post was sent back to draft by the administrator. The hamburger was wrapped in the wrong way, so when I opened it, it was upside down. Maybe they're not used to it yet. The taste was still delicious though. Thank you for the meal.

I actually have to go to work starting tomorrow, but I decided to sneak into the office a day early to sort out New Year's cards and delete a ton of junk emails. By getting this done now, tomorrow will be a breeze. Before heading in, I stopped by McDonald's for a quick bite to eat.
