Fast Food in Japan

I hear that there is a lot of the same types of fast food in Japan as in the United States, such as McDonald's. Is that true? Do you think that it's a good thing or a bad thing?

McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and a few Japanese entries like Mos Burger and Lotteria. Whether it's good or not depends on whether you like to eat that kind of fast food, I guess.

McDonald's in Japan is actually edible food. It's much better than what they 'toss together' here in the U.S. The service and cleanliness are superior as well.

I'd also add, though it's not typically thought of as "fast-food" that the Denny's family restaurants in Japan are an order of magnitude (or more) better quality that what a typical American thinks of when you mention the name.

In my experience, restaruants in Japan tend to be fairly good quality overall. I think it's the intense competition.
