ウェンディーズは日本であんまり見かけないのね。なぜだろう？
久しぶりに渋谷のウェンディーズでお昼を。
味はなかなか行ける。チキンはケンタッキーよりうまかった。なぜか。
ロンドンでは、ウェンディーズもあんまりなかった。ロンドン中心のピカディリーでは昔あったが、閉店してしまった。

Danny Burger King came back into Japan in June this year, unless they left already. It's was in Shinjuku. Also the whole time I was in Japan I only saw one Wendy's, and I was really surprised to see it.

I've always liked Wendy's... when I used to eat fast food. They were cool.
(ID #62170) Posted on 2007/11/05 06:53
Never been to one. I dont think ive ever seen one in the UK, and i tend to avoid US burger chains while im over there.

I can't remember quite well, since last time I tried all three was over 10 years ago, but I think the one I didn't like the most was KFC. I was 15 on my last trip to USA. Well, here in Brazil we do have McDs and I think we once had Wendy's.. not shure if there's still any around... but I dropped fast food for almost 5 years (back to it now though). Not only that, I dropped soft drinks and tried to eat stuff like potato chips and some other artificial stuff as few as I could. I'm back full force on those now... kinda regretting it already, but meh, I needed a break. We do have Burger Kings here though only in major cities... and Pizza Huts (love 'em). Oh, on Brazil we do have a fast food chain (called Giraffas) that makes... we call it the everyday brazilian meal. Rice, beans, meat of some type and salad. They have like some 10 different types of combinations, the price is pretty much the same as a McD combination, and it's healthier too.

Wendy's is still pretty popular in US, first to start $1 menu war amongst fast food chains. Big thing with Wendy's is using never frozen beef for their burgers. BK sounds like had issues in Asia few years back, I know they pulled out of Korean market, then re-entered not too long ago.

teriaki burger??????????? i wish they made a teriaki burger here..you wouldn't be able to stop me from eating there daily..sadly the onlytime i had a teriaki burger from a fast food chain was from mcdonalds when i was stationed in hawaii for ahwile.. it lasted for..i guess a year.. small and cheep but very good.. messy with gobs of teriaki sacue and mayo.. and some letuce..loved those.. and miss them.. need to start a letter writng campain to inclue them in the $1 menu :D
(ID #62174) Posted on 2007/11/05 07:47
there's no wendy's in singapore. heck, even burger king is hard to find here. ('~')
(ID #62176) Posted on 2007/11/05 07:56
Mmm, Wendy's. Nice to know that they have Teriyaki Burgers since I LOVED the McDonald's ones. Mmmmmm. I wish I was back in Japan so I could have some more! No Teriyaki love in California :9
(ID #62179) Posted on 2007/11/05 08:11
Wendy's...good stuff o_< b. Definitely has way better food and value then Mc Donalds. Tasty and hefty burgers, so much better than Mc Donald's soggy burgers. :p Each meal comes with salad, chilli beans or fries too and a drink. It's a shame that Wendy's is dying out. There's like only one Wendy in Richmond. :/
(ID #62181) Posted on 2007/11/05 08:24
Wendy's here taste great, so does KFC. Although eating too much of either will probably kill you from fat intake. Mickey D's is so-so, but everywhere. When I was in Tokyo ages ago I did surprisingly find a BK in Shibuya (probably not there anymore). Meat taste like I was chewin on dried rat with ketchup. What did surprise me when I was there was not the food (except the teriyaki burger), but the uniforms. Girls at Mickey D's had short skirts on. All uniforms here are pants regardless of gender. "Hey baby, nice legs. Can you ring me up a teriyaki burger?"

In Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) we have loads of fast foodz chains like KFC, McD, Pizza Hut, B.K, Dominos, Shakeys, Subway, ..to name a few. But so far, no Wendy's as of yet
(ID #62184) Posted on 2007/11/05 08:47
NOTHING tastes better than Burger King oO... And no Burger King in Japan or just a few?! WTF??? ^^;
(ID #62187) Posted on 2007/11/05 09:06
Wendy's were closest to my office in Ebisu, but their food is comparatively fat laden and greasy, in my view. I prefer Maccas or KFC if I'm in the mood for chicken. Their teriyaki burger I do like very much, however. Now that I'm back in Australia, I'm Wendy'less, since they only lasted a year here back in the 80's when they tried to move in here. Now there's just an unrelated chain with the same name, but they only sell ice creams and hot dogs.
(ID #62189) Posted on 2007/11/05 09:29
Wendy's does not exist here, plus when I went to the States the first time and tried it I didn't like it, must be because I'm more used to typical food than fast food

come on 5 min of hacking around the net found the japanese website for wendys. http://www.nihon-wendies.co.jp/ i now want to find out where they are. the uk branches all closed down about 8,9 years ago becuase they weren't making any money.
(ID #62194) Posted on 2007/11/05 10:59
wendy's is actually one of the resturants i still remember in japan, its a HUGE difference from the wendy's here in calgary. their bugers are well done, the sauce on the burger is delicious. my mom left for japan today about an hour ago and i was very sad i wasn't able to go with her.

There's no Wendy's here in Singapore. But there's a fast food chain Carl's Jr which makes really good and gigantic burgers.
(ID #62196) Posted on 2007/11/05 11:22
Wendy tasted bland when it was still avail in singapore, we used to have Arby's but that tasted much better...but prefer Burger Kings Double-Swiss Mushroom...:p
(ID #62198) Posted on 2007/11/05 11:56
While Wendy's isn't as large a chain as McDonalds or Burger King we have a fair amount of them where I live and they seem to do good business. In a way thats no surprise since the food is okay and reasonably priced not to mention Ohio is where Wendy's started and the Corporate big shots still have offices here. I don't go to them to often since I have an obsession with Taco Bell.

i love Wendy's! the last time i ate Wendy's was at the Mall of Asia and SM Mega Mall in Manila in August of 2006. before that it was way back in 2004 when i used to live in Guam. it still tasted as delicious as ever.
(ID #62201) Posted on 2007/11/05 12:41
jeez this makes me hungry ^^ and I can't choose which has the worst taste cause they all seem to taste fine here
(ID #62202) Posted on 2007/11/05 12:43
Can't really vote for this... we don't have Wendy's here(and it's the 1st time I've heard of Wendy's, sadly) and McD + KFC is equally bland here. Burger King is still the best.
(ID #62203) Posted on 2007/11/05 12:45
We don't have Wendy's in Belgium. We have McD and a few KFC, but also a belgian chain called Quick just like McDonalds. I like Quick more than McDonalds. McDonalds actually changed the taste of the kind of similar taste between the Big Mac and the Giant (from Quick). But I like a Giant more than a Big Mac, but if I'm in a foreign country, I take a Big Mac. But I should try Wendy's one day...

thor666 in Singapore
There's Denny's as well... although they serve a Western/Japanese mix/fusion. Meal was quite okay - the califlower was horrible though. There's one Wendy's store near Ebisu... along the way to Daikanyama. Not too good for my taste, I'm afraid
(ID #62209) Posted on 2007/11/05 13:03

here, wendy's went out of business a couple of years ago, they couldn't get a market share next to macdonalds and burger king, so just closed all their restaurants and left.
(ID #62217) Posted on 2007/11/05 14:06
Mmmmm....Wendy's. Does Japan's Wendy's have the 100 yen menu like here in the US where we have 1 USD menu which you can order chili, side salad, chicken nuggets, shake, etc.?

Teriyaki burgers... I wonder what those taste like. How much are those anyway? By the way, there's this theory called the "Big Mac Index" where you compare countries based on the cost of their Big Macs. Interesting stuff... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

If you're ever in the States, you should try the new Baconator. 1/2 pound of meat, 6 strips of bacon, and 2 slices of gooey cheese. It's a mouthful of sweet, sweet death. (And I can't stop eating it.) :]

I hardly even eat Wendy's out here in Los Angeles, considering they lack store locations where convinient, but there are a lot of Mc Donald's and Jack In The Box restaurant's. So there's a chance i'll never eat Wendy's in Japan.
(ID #62224) Posted on 2007/11/05 15:02
Wendy's.... not in South Africa, I think I've heard of it somewhere before, but it's definitely not here. =( Never liked KFC... nor Mcdonald's :P

wow lol at WENDY'S! long time i saw one of them here in the UK. a lot of their stores closed up after a year or so. I only ever saw 2 of them & they werent local to me either.
(ID #62231) Posted on 2007/11/05 15:52
I like Wendy's. Plus they got the $1 Chicken Nuggets! Woot! Oh and it's probably not popular because of the severed FINGER in a customers chili. Surprise, surprise!

Always loved the WENDY`S location close by the Eibisu train station - open 24 hours - perfect for when you come out of Eibisu Club Milk drunk & hungry at 5:30AM !! I also used to live i9n London in the 1980`s then again in the 1990`s. Actually , London used to have KFC, McDonalds, Wendy`s, Wimpy`s (you`ll only know that one if you`re british..) as well as Taco Bell (!) AND ARBY`S (!!) Sadly Arby`s has been gone for years there (they have also all closed down here in California) - wonder why they never tried to open one in Tokyo ?? Then , on the other hand Tokyo has FRESHNESS BURGER (kick ass food) and MOS BURGER (really tatsty too) I think Tokyo has great selection - apparantly there are 50,000 restaraunts in the TOKYO area !!

well that severed finger was proven to be a hoax and the people involved were arrested..but yes that did all sorts of damage to the company...but Wendys was always the smaller of the fast food retailers. heck theres only one here, where i live vs. untold dozens of carls jr. Kfc's and McD's and 2 burgerkings... Say how are Pizza Huts in Japan, i know it was very different in Indonesia vs. the US...here its sit where you want and when your pizza is done they will toss it on the table for you, but when i was in Indonesia it was like some high class resturant with waiters and forks, a place to go kinda place...not what i was used to at all...

I actually tried the one and only burger king (which pulled out and returneded), it's kinda on the way/at Ikebukuru's Sunshine city, near the Mac Donald's -- it's pretty tasty. The Wendy's at Ikebukuru area is not impressive tho -- burger was cold and fries were old! (Maybe we just went to a bad branch :P)

Oops apparently there's one at Shinjuku too? (Should have scrolled all the way down :P) And I forgot to mention, Wendy's here is so so, (burgers are bigger than in Japan, but kinda not very tasty =_=) there's an A&W near our home which is YUM tho :P I'm such a fast food junkie ^^;;;;
(ID #62238) Posted on 2007/11/05 16:41
Wendy's??? YUM! Unfortunately here in Sydney we don't have them, We got Hungry Jack or Burger King, & some local burger franchise, last year when I went back to Indonesia & Singapore, I went to Wendy's & A&W, they even have dairy queen! plus our all time favorite Yoshinoya (Japan & US a bit different). Too bad its getting harder to find Chicken express & Red Rooster here, they kept closing down and too any Mc/KFC poping up. :(
(ID #62240) Posted on 2007/11/05 16:52
Wendy's isn't popular here but i'm glad it isn't it has become my friend's little hand out.. which most people use Mikky D's for..I haven't eaten McDs for awhile.. almost since a year..I ate there last week.. my friend was reluctant to go.. i pondered why.. and found out why when we got our comboes..the bread was hard, the cheese was suspiciously solid.. but the best part was the fries.. our burgers came in a small box ,instead of those wrappers everyone else uses.. my friend took a small mini fry and asked me to examine it.. yes it was a real fry.. hard.. but a fry.. next thing i knew she took the fry.. and impaled it right through the burger box.. instantly sending me in a frenzy of laughter!

I had a wendys back when I was a kid and my family went over to the US of A for a holiday. They were actually really good, but I didn't think much of their chances in other markets when their tag was "Americas 4th favorite fast food chain" For me, KFC rules the roost and then it's Burger king. Wendys would be above BK if there were any in the UK and i just avoid McD like the plague
(ID #62249) Posted on 2007/11/05 18:05
Is that the Wendy's in Ginza? Eating in there reminded me of my lunches at primary school, probably it was due to the small chairs. During the summer I remember having a hot dog set from their menu, which was really dry despite a horrendous amount of ketchup on it. Other then that, the 'tomato chicken sand' set was alright. Not the best when compared to the filth that McD's brings us (─▽─)
(ID #62250) Posted on 2007/11/05 18:06
Back in the 80's we had a Wendy in Brussels ( I used to have a student pass :))but it closed..competition between McDo and Quick ( our local stuff ) was too fierce...no burger king also no KFC... But when in japan I'll go and re-taste a Wendy...count on it
(ID #62251) Posted on 2007/11/05 18:22

I eat neither of the three or any fast food for that matter. My roomate eats Wendys and loves it. Around the area where I am at a new Wendys opened up so it must be popular. I do enjoy their frostees ocasionally though...

Except for sandwhich joints like potbellies, subway, jimmy johns and hot dog joints, I've stopped doing fast food. Too much fat and calories for my taste. The one thing I miss is the Angus with bacon from burger king, really tasty.

Wendys in the Philippines have shrunken burgers. their burgers are about half the size of a regular burger. I remember during one of my trips to California. A food attendant was so suprised when I ordered two burgers for myself. as for me, I got suprised when I recieved the burgers. ^^;

I remember going to the Wendys outside Yokosuka naval base. After a year an a half stationed at Camp Zama, it was great to have a Frosty. I quickly ordered a large frosty with my burger and fries. That's when I got my reminder that I was still living in Japan. My LARGE Frosty was the same size as a child sized Frosty in the US. But man it was really really good :) Danny, I'll see your Wendy's and raise you a Popeyes Cajun Fried Chicken. Unfortunately, their franchises are only on American military bases including Camp Zama, Atsugi, Yokosuka, and Yakota.

Wendy's is the only fast food place I have ever eaten in the past five years. I dont eat there often, but when I do its perfect to satisfy a quick craving. Chicken nuggets, 1/4 lb.er with cheese, maybe a small frosty. mmmmmmmmmm ... AAAAAHHHH Asuka mental image!!!!!
(ID #62267) Posted on 2007/11/05 22:06
I remember Malaysia used to have Wendy's when I was a wee lad. I was reaquainted with it in Indonesia when i was there for a project this year. OMG it was awesome. I like how simple but tasty it was. Definately tastes better than McDonalds generic stuff. But if I were to make a choice, Carl's Jr. has got to be da best. Those bacon strips are to die for.

Where I'm at the McDonald's is surprisingly actually quite good, while the Wendy's sucks horribly. Everywhere else I've ever eaten at a McDonald's or Wendy's it was the complete opposite of that.

Wendy was the preferred fastfood burger place amongst my friends while I was in college. The quality of KFC and Micky D is very inconsistent from store to store outside cities here in the states based on my personal experience.

That looks tasty. Wendy's has been my favorite out of the burger places, followed by Burger King. McDonald's ranks low. And American Wendy's could so profit from a teriyaki burger.
(ID #62344) Posted on 2007/11/06 05:52
Thanks Danny! I've always wanted to know the menu of a Japanese based fast food restaurant cause my friend from Japan always told me they had awesome stuff (like the teriyaki burgers). I think the reason McDonalds fares so
