## Transcript

China has their own version of everything. No  YouTube, they have Bilibili. No iMessage.   Instead, they have WeChat. So, what else does that  apply to? What about all the fast food joints that   we know and love? Is it the same story? So, today  I'm in China trying every Chinese fast food chain  
that I can. And we're going to be comparing the  ones back home to the ones that they have here.   And on top of that, going to Chinese-only fast  food chains that you can only find here, to find   out which one is the best. But surprisingly,  we're starting things off at KFC in Chongqing,  
China. I didn't think they'd have it to be honest  with you, but it turns out it is the most popular   fast food place in all of China. Tasting with  me today is Jackson, a Chongqing native and   tour guide, who's taking me through China's  most popular fast food chains nationwide. So,  
we're here to set a baseline to see how it  differs from KFC in America. And after this spot,   we'll be hopping to McDonald's for the same  thing. This box contains wings, nuggets,   which look a lot like McDonald's nuggets, and then  the classic fried chicken. Maybe we start with the  
wings. We call it the New Orleans style. It's  cooked nicely. It's tender. Flavor is not bad.   It's a little sweet. I'm jumping onto the nugget.  Honestly, I kind of like this, but it's a little   dry. It's like paper. McDonald's had it better.  That's true. On to the KFC fried chicken. I will  
say this looks concerning. KFC to me is really  not great in America, but is it better in China? intense. Way saltier, way more umami. Chicken's  fattier. Overall, the flavor is actually  
surprisingly better, but it is dry and it's  honestly missing a lot of the breading, which is   crucial for fried chicken to me. We're not done.  We have to try the Chinese exclusive items to make   our final determination. Now, we have a Beijing  style fried chicken wrap. It looks boring from  
the outside, I'll be honest, but when I opened  it up and I saw what was going on in here with   it from the middle cause that's where all the sauce  is. Excuse the way I ate this, but uh cheers.  
So, it's actually extremely similar to how the  Peking duck is actually wrapped. They have the   Peking duck sauce, salty, and they have the  cucumber, crispy and crunchy. The flavor of   this is actually phenomenal. I would love if they  served this in America. That Peking duck sauce,  
what that is. And the crunch from those cucumbers,  and it adds a little freshness. It's so funny cause   it's literally just a tortilla and chicken tender,  but like because of the sauce and the cucumber,   it becomes something different entirely. That's  kicking them up a notch. We got one more thing.  
Portuguese egg tarts. I have no notes on that.  That's great. It's not too sweet. Great flavor.   Super, super silky egg tart texture. And then  the crust is like this nice crunchy almost   puff pastry. It's nice. Is it the best egg tart  I've ever had? No. Is it a quality one? Actually,  
surprisingly pretty good. We're rating things on  a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being an absolute greatest   thing I've ever eaten in my life, period. And  a one being I need psychiatric help afterwards.   And the way that we're going to be judging that  is value, speed, and flavor. Those are all the  
things that matter with fast food, right? It  took a very long time to get this. 15 minutes,   so not very fast. Price-wise, it was actually  shockingly cheap. Like $19 for all this food,   and there's a few things we didn't even show.  Values there. Flavor-wise, there were some hits,  
there were some misses. I think it's deserving  of a 6.8. 6.8 is a fair judgment. But this is   just the beginning. It only gets crazier from  here. Moving on, we have the world's largest   fast food chain under Asia's largest LED screen.  It's McDonald's. And they have a lot more options  
here. How does the world's largest fast food  chain in China compared to the McDonald's in   America? Judging by the looks of this sandwich,  I'm going to say pretty different cause the fry   on the chicken looks good. The breading looks  amazing. Let's taste it. Watch out. Watch out. Is  
that good? Emotionally, this is my 10 out of 10.  When I travel to other remote regions in China,   I'm not used to their local food because every  region is so distinctly different. McDonald's,   that's my safe paradise. It's surprisingly good.  It really is. First thing I noticed is there's  
some spiciness to it. And it's actually spicy, but  not like crazy. I don't think that they would ever   do that in America cause they're afraid of scaring  away audience. But I love that there's actual   heat in this for once. It's crispy. It's a little  chewy and stringy, but the flavor in and of itself  
is nice. The chicken's seasoned well. It doesn't  taste of dirty oil and it's decently spiced. We   have other things to taste though. We got just the  standard fries. It's the classic McDonald's way.   They taste the same everywhere on Earth, but they  don't have the same options of fries everywhere on  
Earth. We have the crispy fries, which are another  version. They actually are so crispy. Crunchy.   crunch is better. McDonald's, if you're watching,  you should be launching this in America. It  
would do so well. Why can't you guys have nice  things? Now, we have the Angus Max burger served   incredibly preciously in this box. Almost like a  little gift wrap hamburger. Also, the maillard on   this is absolutely bonkers. It's seared properly,  but the question is, is the beef any good?  
It's kind of flavorless. It's a little bit plain.  The bacon is so much of the primary flavor of this   that it almost kind of tastes like OG McDonald's  breakfast when I was a kid. From an American's   palette, it doesn't taste like a hamburger to me.  It doesn't taste bad. This one isn't my favorite  
item, but we have more. The final item, you have  the taro pie. This was the one thing I always   love from McDonald's was the fried pies. Well,  I'm glad that you were able to experience your   childhood again. It's a beautiful thing. Cheers.  Oh, yeah. The texture of this is absolutely  
perfect. The crunch, it melts in your mouth. It's  so tender, but the flavor is kind of a little bit   lacking for me. You guys really like to keep your  desserts not too sweet. I think American standard   of sugar is like a next level to us. The texture  is a 10 out of 10. Unbelievable crunch. We had a  
lot of different things. It's time to rate. It  took about 10 minutes to get all of our food,   big. Overall though, it is a bit long for fast  food. That said, let's talk about value. We spent  
this much. A little bit expensive for China,  especially fast food. Yeah, I would say some   of the items were mind-blowing and some of them  were kind of so so they also had a matcha avocado   that we had off camera that was insane. For a  McDonald's, I think I'm going to give it a seven.  
give it a very solid seven as well. That's just my  go-to comfort food, especially the crispy chicken   sandwich. That's just my all-time favorite. And  so McDonald's joins the leaderboard, but we have  
a long road ahead of us on our journey to find the  best fast food in China. On to the next. Next up,   Jackson is taking us to a mom and pop noodle chain  called Jyu Ywen to show us what fast food was like   before the big chains arrived and honestly what  it is still for many people across China to this  
day. We're on to what arguably gave birth to  modern Chinese fast food outside of American   brands. Would you agree with that? Yeah, pretty  much. Because uh the Chongqing small noodles,   it went nationwide since 10 years ago. The  small doesn't mean it's like small by its size,  
but its simplicity and efficiency. One of their  specialty is the tajang. They add ground pork   and chili oil and blend it with the noodle giving  that extra soft and meaty texture. And I'm gonna   get myself a regular ones like vegetarian  one. So you could try out the difference.  
What about spice level? Just regular. Tell her  I know that I'm white, but I can handle it. You give your order to the chef and they go  to work. She boiled every noodle to order.  
And 4 minutes later, they were placed into a  prepared bowl containing a wide assortment of   ingredients. Pickled vegetables, green onions,  chili oil, and a fat scoop of lard. Honestly,   everything was already set up like an assembly  line, very similar to fast food. Another chef  
layered on pork, and a little broth, and we were  ready to taste. Total cost for two bowls. You   see the size of this in USD? $3.51 for both  combined. Less than 5 minutes. That is the  
very OG definition of fast food for the Chinese  people. That ising delicious. About 20 years ago,   when I was in grade two, this was my staple  dish, hopping on a school bus. When I was really,  
really late, the auntie can usually get it done  really fast as well. I would tell her, you know,   my bus is right there. And then she's like, "Oh,  yeah." She would sometimes like prioritize it,   you know? No, it's very nice of you. And at the  time, it was only 5. That's like a little bit  
like.7. I can't believe that you're getting high  quality restaurant level flavor for like a little   under $2. It's absurd. There's so much flavor in  this for something that was made in 4 minutes.   I love the Sichuan, the little bit of numbing  spice that's in there, and the flavor of pork  
is just like boom. It's so meaty and porky and  delicious and flavorful. Wow. I can't stop. Yeah,   this is an addicting level of noodle and spice. I  can't believe it. The value is beyond perfection.   It's It's god level. Flavor. Unbelievable. It's  delicious. It's good. It's hearty. Took less than  
5 minutes, 4 minutes, and 30 seconds. We've waited  in drive-throughs for 15 minutes before. Man,   You make me proud. I think I'll give it a 9.1.  This was my childhood. Jyu Ywen takes a commanding  
lead. This is going to be very hard to beat. But  a heavyhitting china-born burger chain is next. So,   we're at the first franchise nationwide Chinese  fast food place, Tastien. Apparently,  
they are the inventor of Chinese style burger.  What they do is they make Chinese style handmade   buns and they add black sesame to make  a difference rather than the usual white   sesame burgers or sandwiches that we usually see  in the West. So, we went in and placed our order,  
got a couple items and ended up waiting a  little too long. 11 minutes for fast food.   A little bit long, but if it's good, it may be  acceptable. This is their new Xinjiang style   chili pepper with chicken patty that's coated  with rice. The bun itself is interesting. I  
don't know how to describe it. It almost feels  like powo in a way. It's like stretchy, chewy,   airrated. It looks nice. The bun is a handmade  bun mixed with the key flavors of China. Sour,   sweet, salt, bitter, and spicy. Very unique. Never  seen this before. Flavor-wise, totally unique. The  
sweetness actually makes sense here because  it has more spice and more just like richness   from the chilies on top. It doesn't taste like  artificial flavoring. I'm tasting the chilies. I'm   about it, but like other than that, it's a good  sandwich. You could serve this at a restaurant.  
People would probably be happy. This is better  than I expected. The crunchiness with that crispy   rice is killing it. And the spicy level. It  looks kind of intimidating, but it's actually   pretty okay just cause we have it. And I'm surprised  that they sell it. They sell chicken wings. So,  
I'm going to try one. Crispy fried properly  chickeny. Missing salt though. Let's break   this down. Speed is very, very low. A noodle  shop putting out traditional noodles was way   faster than this. So, for a combo meal, drink side  and the sandwich, $2.50. So, value in comparison  
the value isn't as good. I think I'll give it a  very strong seven, which for me is a high rating   out of all the Chinese burgers. I'd give it a 6.8  because my personal favorite is still McDonald's  
chicken burger, but that is only sold in China.  Still a good rating, but it's not our best one,   and we have many more to try. So, let's move on.  Next up, Domino's Pizza. This is a big deal here.   They have China exclusive menu items that we've  never seen before. Domino's in America, I've  
never been a huge fan of it. Actually, I'm not a  huge fan of it. But Domino's in China is extremely   different. In fact, they have a huge menu, like  ridiculously big. Durian pizza. We're from a   different universe. They have steak and lamb chops  and salmon. Look at all these sides. Meatballs,  
golden shrimp, pork jowl, onion rings. You can  get a volcano pizza with a yakator skewer and a   side of potatoes with two milkshakes. But we only  got two of them. We got the beef Wellington. What   the hell? And then we got this, which is what  we're starting with. The shrimp and pineapple  
pizza. If you thought pineapple didn't belong  on pizza, how about fried shrimp, boiled shrimp,   mayo? I'm scared. That is horrendous. It's  very different. I'm so confused right now.   You have a pizza crust that's the same as usual.  The sauce is a sweet, creamy pineapple custard  
with cheese melted on top. I'll be honest,  it doesn't taste as bad as I thought. It is   so far away from what I was expecting. Like,  my brain is confused. To put it in English,   I don't know if it's actually pizza. That made  me speak Chinese. I think we're going to have to  
jump to the Wellington cause I don't know how I feel  about that. This one looks a bit more savory. This   looks different. Maybe more in the direction of  what we're looking for. Let's give it a shot. Wow,   it's actually good. Comparatively, it is better.  I'm surprised. There's real puff pastry on it,  
which is cool. There's real bacon underneath  it. Like whole lardons of smoky, streaky bacon,   which adds good flavor. It's a bit unusual. It  has like a almost a French onion soup flavor,   which I guess is supposed to be the mushroom  ductel like in a classic Wellington. Surprisingly,  
this was the most expensive item we've gotten by  far. It was close to the same price as it is in   America. It doesn't taste that much better, but  it is more different and more exciting. It also   took 20 minutes. And I'll give it a six. I'll give  it a seven. I don't think I'll try it again, but I  
just appreciate the creativity of Asian culinary  culture. Now, I don't even know what to expect   anymore. Let's go on to the next. Next up, another  China exclusive chain trying to battle it out   with one of the global giants. We are at Dico's, a KFC  competitor from the early 2000s. They exist mostly  
in transportation hubs, specifically railway  stations. They have fried chicken, burgers,   and French fries. I'm going for the fries first.  All right. The fries are not bad, although they   should be crispier, but they taste good, though.  So, normally they have a western style fried  
chicken sandwich, but this particular one is their  new seasonal signature, which the bun is entirely   made of rice. The crispy rice on the surface  and the second half is a slightly more soft,  
chewy rice. It's not crispy at all. It tastes  really good though. The beef is insanely good.   The rice isn't cooked perfectly, but it's cooked  kind of nicely for a fast food place. I would have   expected it to be total mush. It has some chew to  it. The American cheese in there goes well with  
it. What I'm surprised about is the flavor of the  beef. Almost has like a Burger King beefy flavor,   but like better. There's got to be MSG in it. It  almost tastes like fast food patties used to taste   like 10 or 15 years ago. In a good way. Okay, now  for the leg quarter. I call this a leg quarter,  
but what do you call it? They call it the pistol  chicken quarter. The good old pistol shape. This   has got to be American's favorite. If I compare  this to KFC in America, crispiness way better,   but I don't think it's seasoned as well. This is  like kind of sweet. I kind of want more saltiness.  
I would say it's still better than KFC in America.  Yeah, it's at least juicy enough. I prefer this   over the burger slightly. It took 13 minutes at  the end of the day, so convenience is like at the   floor. For all this, we spent almost $9, so it's  one of the most expensive. It took the longest,  
and I definitely would not say it's the best. I  think I'm going to give it like a 6.5 for me. I'll   get a 6.5 as well. Still a higher rating than I've  given KFC in the US. Moving on. I know we're only   doing fast food, but we had to make a quick stop  here for an iconic place in China. It's a direct  
competitor with a major one in America. Luckin  Coffee. We have Luckin Coffee on this side,   but then directly across is a Starbucks. The funny  thing is, I've seen this happen maybe two or three   times since arriving in Chongqing. It's almost  like every time Starbucks lays down a new shop,  
Luckin steps in to go, "You know what? We're going  to battle it out. We're going to snipe you right   in your face." Maybe. Yes. From a business sense,  they have all the same things that Starbucks has,   but they also have unique items that Starbucks  does not have, like this. This is one of their  
iconic orange Americano. So, it's got orange  juice and an Americano resting on top. You   have two options. You can either mix it and  drink it, or you can drink the orange on the   bottom and then the espresso on the top. One  is regular, one is carbonated. I'll take the  
was meant to be mixed. It's actually prettying  good. This is a little bit light, you know,   compared to the usual four shots that you're  getting. The orange juice overpowers the espresso  
in a way that you kind of can't really taste it.  And the coffee becomes more of a rounding out   chocolatey aftertaste. That's 25% of the flavor.  I want to taste the coffee. Whatever orange juice   they're using tastes great. I think Lucken is a  little bit better. I give it a 7.5. It's good.  
I would get it again. I think I'll give it a 7.5  as well, especially for a hot summer day. That a   little bit carbonated water would be so good. This  is a delicious little coffee cocktail. Good job,   Luckinn. On to the next. Luckin really outclassed  Starbucks with a unique concept earning one of the  
top places on our leaderboard. But can another  spot take its place? And who will be our first   place leader? This is called Yang Guo Fu Malatang.  So this is the biggest hot pot chain. It is the   closest thing to a fast food hot pot. Normally  when you do hot pot, you have a big boiling  
cauldron in front of you. It takes quite a long  time to eat cuz you're cooking everything one by   one by one. This you pick out all the ingredients  you want ahead of time. They take it and they cook   it for you. This took 5 minutes and we're done.  We're ready to eat. hot pot essentially, but the  
fast food version. Let's just jump straight into  it. This whole bowl was around $8, which I think   in comparison to everything that we've gotten here  in China, it's one of the most expensive, but it   is quite a bit of food, though. This is enough to  feed, I would say, two to three people. Would you  
agree? Absolutely. Twice as much as what we got at  the noodle shop per person. And I would argue it's   actually slightly less food. So, value is not  quite there in terms of like quantity, speed,   5 minutes. So, it's more expensive. It's not  slow. Flavor-wise though, I actually think this is  
really good. It's a right amount of numbing spice.  I cannot tell the difference between the flavor of   this and the flavor of most hot pot places. Now,  I can tell that the inquality of the meat is less,   but the flavor of the overall dish, I cannot  tell the difference. This just made hot pot more  
convenient. Get it done within 5 minutes. I think  that's a good enough trade-off to get slightly   lesser quality of the meat, but you get the  convenience and efficiency of having the almost   identical taste and flavor. It tastes great.  It's seasoned perfectly with salt. It's got the  
umami. It's got the numbing spice that I want.  I mean, I'm gonna give it like an 8.8. That is   a fair judgment. Yeah, I would probably give  it 8.5 just because it has lower meat quality.   Another solid and innovative entry in our fast  food journey. But we move on. We are at Wallace,  
and there's a unique story to it. Public  food safety incident that resulted explosive   diarrhea right after you eat it in a few hours.  Chinese people on the internet actually call it  
the Splatoon. The Nintendo game's objective is  to occupy other people's like surface areas by   splashing your paint. And the Wallace is you  splashing some other stuff with your butt. Do  
we want to eat here? Did they resolve this issue?  It's all about franchise controls. It was a yes   or no question. I guess we'll have to try. So, we  entered, we ordered, and to our surprise, we had  
the fastest spot of the day at 30 seconds. That's  like McDonald's level speed. I hope we don't have   explosive diarrhea in 30 seconds. Why? So, here  we go. Price point a little more expensive,   actually, surprisingly. Yeah, this was $1.25 each.  But compared to American standards, that's still  
ridiculously cheap. I think you couldn't get a  fried chicken sandwich in America for less than   5 to eight bucks. So, we have our sandwich. They  gave us this sort of like spicy seasoning. We're   going to try it without that first, and then  we'll try it with it. So, cheers. It's juicy.  
Not as much crunch as some of the other ones.  This bun kind of tastes like a McDonald's bun.   It's a little spicy. It's kind of lacking flavor  for me a little bit. There's not a lot going on.   I think it's a little vanilla. Maybe we should try  this secret spice. Tell me when. Oh, bring it on,  
baby. 100% better with this. This just proves my  point. Seasoning is so important. Imagine if they   just seasoned it properly with this. I guess they  just want to make it more accommodating to people   who are not into spice. So you can control like  how much amount of spice you add in. That's fair.  
it. Sometimes accommodating is not always the best  idea. I'm going to give it a six. I'm just going   to give it a five because this is really just the  average vanilla type of burger in China. Despite  
being cheap and fast, Wallace takes the bottom  spot on our leaderboard is deserving. We move   on. We're in the longest standing foreign pizza  chain in all of China. It is Pizza Hut and quite   literally the nicest Pizza Hut I think I have  ever seen in my life. It's ridiculous. I mean,  
they have like a reservationist and nice chairs  and tables and it's a legit restaurant. It also   happens to have the worst steak I've ever seen.  We ordered two things. The Grand Slam with a hot   dog crust. And I saw Wagyu steak and I thought,  "What?" And so I ordered it. We were wondering,  
"How is this steak $12?" I see why. We're going  to move to the pizza. I don't need to say anything   about this. That's enough. If you've ever had a  frozen baked pizza, that's kind of what you're   Pizza Hut. There's so many types of wiener on  this, it's crazy. And this wiener tastes like  
pineapple. Whereas this wiener, it's just a hot  dog. Yeah, I'm just going to give it a six. At   the time when I was remembering it, it was one  of the few western fancy restaurant. Easily 8.5,   but maybe nothing has changed. Maybe we changed,  so now it's a six. Let me cut to the chase here.  
All things considered, I'm going to give this  a solid 5.9. I know there's better out here,   and we're going to find it. For some reason, I was  expecting more from this fine diningesque Pizza   Hut, but I was wrong. There's so much good food  in China for a low price. I'm confused why anyone  
would find themselves here. But can our next spot,  which is the biggest chain in the world, give us   something better. We're at Mixue. They have more  than 45,000 stores globally. This is a fast food   ice cream place. One ice cream is like 2. It's  a good deal and fast. You order it, they give it  
to you, you get the out. They are super upfront  about the material they use. Just powdered milk.   I'm not going to lie, it's not very good. They're  not over complicating it. Yeah, considering it's   less than 30 cents US, there's really nothing else  I can ask for. You know, my first taste of it was,  
man, for ice cream, there's not a lot going on in  this. But the more I taste it, it actually kind of   is growing on me cuz most ice cream that I'm used  to should be intensely flavored. If it's vanilla,   saltiness. This is so light tasting and almost  like more of like a frozen milk with a light  
vanilla and a light sweetness. And the more I  taste it, the more I realize, you know, I actually   kind of like this variation because it's just  a gentle, light ice cream eating experience. It   reminds me a lot of the ice cream in Japan where  it's just kind of like milk and a little bit of  
all things considered, I'm going to give it like a  seven. It's not the best ice cream I've ever had,   but this would deliver over and over and I would  get it again. Solid seven to me. So, we're at Mr.   Rice, which is considered to be a Panda Express  competitor. It combines the homestyle cooking  
with fast food efficiency. And all the dishes are  laid out just like a buffet. You grab a plate and   a spoon. You grab whatever you want and you weigh  out and you pay based on the weights that you're   getting. And the rice is free and unlimited.  And the soup is also for free. That's insane.  
You could easily go light on the ingredients that  you pick up at the buffet and then just go crazy   on the rice and pay close to nothing, I bet. So,  let's see how it is. I'm just going to go for it.   Paying is calculated based on weight. So, drop  out the extra oil. Oh, I'm very interested in  
whatever is going on over there. My god, this is  amazing. Look at this. It smells so good. How am I   supposed to pick? There's so much good stuff. Oh,  this looks great, too. No extra oil. No extra oil.   Learn your lesson. Thank you. This is fast food in  China. In comparison to Panda Express, I'm already
