Why McDonald’s Flopped In Vietnam

In a rice-eating society, the texture of hamburgers is not good.

Because Vietnam is communist coutry. No need expert to answer this question

The McDonalds adapted fish rice combo looks embarrassing.

Easy. Because Vietnamese food is damn good and cheap…burgers have no chance. Simple and plain.

Western food to a Viet like me: plain, creamy, not diverse, small choice, and high price. Except Italian food. We have regional dishes with different recipes and tastes, and a huge choice of food beside pho, banh mi, and spring rolls.
Western coffee: arabica coffee smells great but tastes like water. In Vietnam, we mix robusta and arabica together the create the heavenly Vietnamese coffee (it can be 7:3 or 5:5)
However, we should learn a lot of things from the west like customer service, management, bartending, pastry, landscaping, and interior design. Hope we can learn from each other to develop and escape from the poverty.

Pho and many other traditional dishes, Vietnamese people take 4 hours or more (1 day) to create a sauce, pho'water. But they serve you in less than 2 minutes.

As a Vietnamese loves American culture, been to the U.S for 3 weeks and found that American food is not various like Vietnamese ones, yet pricy and not really subtly good. It looks like if Americans are not having meals in traditional restaurants, they'll be in fast food restaurants. My feeling is they just don't have choices! I'm not trying to be patriotic. I'm not calling Americans rich because I see a lot of people eating fast food though the food is just the same every single day!
@toVietnamese: Please don't show too much your arrogance and patriotism. Today is different. Cutures are blending. Don't just recall the past and delusionally sleep on the victory.

I don't like. Fast food because make people fat

2 main reason: The first- it's too expensive ( burger 2-3 dollars ( 50.000-60.000/ per meal) while Banh Mi or others only 0.5-1 dollars. of course we'll choose VN food. The second: it does not suit with Vietnamese taste because Western food is so fat, having too much meat, less fibre

Bahn mi sandwich > Fast food any day! And the Bahn mi sandwiches are way cheaper and more delicious!!!

AMERICAN FAST FOOD IS POISON

its good for viatnam.. why make your people sick obese as well as give their money to foreigners

Very insightful…!

Thanks you for your effort😄
