Hey guys this is Mike Chen just landed here in Tokyo want to grab some dinners it’s a little late so a lot of places are closed and just decided to walk around and see what’s open and never been to Denny’s before Denny’s in Japan looks really fancy
Whoa when you walk in there’s like a little convenience store outside with Danny’s baked goods little toys too so you sit down and they bring you an iPad menu which is great because you can see the dishes in English recommendations Chef recommendation course with an alagado later avocado okay strawberry
Caesar salad so first page is all the recommended this just the seasonal menu look at this oh my gosh I can’t believe this is a Denny strawberry pancakes strawberry Sundays a model strawberry this is the king strawberry here in Japan there’s steaks bacon spinach corn soup there’s hurg steak
Seran steak Japanese beef stew chicken pork shabo Shabu wo there’s Fried Chicken basically every type of salad under the sun what there’s chicken jum valaya garlic rice with rose pork cheese Hood rice oh my gosh there’s so much stuff here meat spaghetti there Cod roll pasta grilled cheese oh my gosh they got
Dundun noodles Chinese noodles Denny’s here in Japan has pretty much any dish you want oh this is a drink bar dessert menu this is the strawberry stuff oh there’s pancakes Chocolate Sundaes French toast chilled red bean soup matcha ice cream oh my there’s so much stuff that I want
To try so I got a chef recommendation course and oh man I got to try something else too grilled meat combo I want to try their dunda noodles let’s do garlic rice or rolled pork have got salad raw ham what raw ham salad my dinner tonight a drink bar Chef’s recommendation course
Aado strawberry Caesar salad rye bread garlic Rice with rast pork let’s do it this is really interesting this is the drink bar so once you get a pass you can have as much drinks as you want there’s a coffee ice coffee cappuccino all sorts of different teas sodas Iced
Teas take some W on te this is what a Denny menu looks like here in Japan this thing goes on for 26 pages I don’t remember how big Denny’s menu was back in the US I remember it being pretty extensive but this thing has everything from noodles
To Rice to steak to jambalaya and it’s so artistically designed my strawberry Caesar salad just got here so right now a strawberry season in Japan and these are King strawberries strawberry Caesar salad never had it before I think it’s wonderful refreshingly sweet and tart with the delightful crunch of the
Lettuce with the strawberry and the cheese it almost has a yogurty taste to it I like it the strawberry is just ridiculously fresh and juicy and sweet and they also have little bits of freeze dry strawberries in here as well for nice little crunch this is so Innovative
My first entry has arrived garlic roast pork fried rice so there’s chunks of what looks like grilled roast pork with garlic chips on top it smells so garlicky that is a tender tender piece of pork the crunchy bits of garlic the rice has a little bit of mayo on it and some
Corn the rice is buttery it’s frag it’s garlicky freaking rice is outrageous it’s fries so well look at this every little grain is just glistening with flavor goes perfect with that tender cut of pork the pork is also very peppery as well so everybody you take get that
Juicy tender pork the creaminess from the mayonnaise The Fragrant rice the crunchy garlic this is a magnificent plate of fried rice from Denny this is really really Smoky very tender two completely different cuts of pork really adds so much different flavor and texture to this fried rice this is freaking amazing
Fried rice guys I’m a fried rice fanatic I’ll eat fried rice every single day if you’ll love me and words I never thought i’ ever say in my life you got to tried this Fri rice at Denny’s I mean Denny’s back home at least for me really only place I go when
Everything else is closed I don’t think I’ve ever had food of this quality like a Denise before I am so happy with the entree 2 has arrived let me get a refill on my Tea I think I might have discovered the best Coke on this planet melon Coke you got to give this a try this is the recommended set menu from Denny’s I love this sit a little bit because I was so distracted by my awesome pork fried
Rice now the pasta is kind of dying on me a little bit which is totally my mistake beautiful crab on top and underneath the crap is pasta with herb cream sauce this is a really hervy and very crabby plate of pasta oh yeah I’m going to taste that fresh basil right away
It’s very rich and creamy with real crab meat on top you can taste in every single bite and that crab is very very sweet they also give you a couple slices of bread with the pasta that’s very toasty bread but this is a delicious and very fancy full of
Pasta and on the menu you can even pair this up with wine or do what I do pair with some melon Coke the dessert that came with the chef recommended SE meal is an avocado and the coffee that it’s sitting in it’s like coffee goo the coffee is very thick
Look at this that’s really interesting and instead of just plain coffee that the ice cream is sitting in I think it’s a mixture of coffee and brown sugar so the texture is very thick and gooey it’s like ice cream cting in coffee ectoplasm I like it it’s bitter as sweet
This is definitely a very very unique aato really unlik anything I’ve had before this was such a fun find I love trying out popular restaurants in different cultures in Denny’s in Japan is very different the menu is the size of a Cheesecake Factory menu I think
Because this place is pretty close to my hotel and it’s open pretty early I’m going to come back and have some breakfast Tomorrow so breakfast Denny’s has a completely different menu and it goes from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. there’s some traditional stuff like pancakes scrambled eggs bacon French toast one thing that looks really interesting shrimp and chicken and eggplant with spinach also because it is strawberry seasoned I got some strawberry pancakes
Too inside there’s eggs there’s scallion mushrooms slices of Chicken shrimp and they give you a little bit of olive oil and wasab to add in here as well I feel like this is less of a porridge and more of a chicken soup with rice I really like this so there’s a lot of
Cool flavors and textures inside there’s eggs in here and when you get a little bit of the yolk there’s a lot of richness and creaminess that comes with that the rice texture is very nice it’s not mushy at all it’s almost Al Dente the mushroom is nice the shrimp is
Popping in sweet chased out with some of this eggplant over spinach which is Juicy and refreshing goes really well with the porridge the Wasabi is definitely a good addition for a little bit of kick and of course unlimited coffee tea and drinks at the drink
Bar in the drink bar when you get it included with a meal which is only about 20 I think 80 or 90 Yen so it’s only about $2 for all you can drink and the porridge without the drink bar it’s only about $690 y so about $4 for this giant steamy bowl of
Deliciousness it’s like a giant really fulfilling satisfying delicious bowl of chicken egg drop soup definitely good the that come with it this whole thing actually pretty healthy and very filling breakfast that olive oil that was a nice fragrant kick all right after this I I got something
Just as fulfilling a little less healthy coming up pink it’s beautiful fresh strawberries because strawberri SE in Japan from December to May these are their specialty Japanese strawberries called the king strawberries and typically when you get fruit at a place like Denny I would expect it not to be
That fresh this thing it’s plump it’s juicy it’s huge ice cream whipped cream two fluffy pancakes with strawberry syrup and strawberry cream on top I think that’s pretty delicious that thing is so good with the fresh strawberries now let’s invite some whipped cream and some ice cream to the party get all that
Together every single bite it’s sweet it’s tart it’s creamy it’s juicy I don’t like pancakes I really order them but these freshly made pancakes with the freshest strawberries you can find anywhere and ice cream and this loaded plate of pancakes again with the fresh strawberries only about $5 it’s my
Entire breakfast this morning for the porters the eight plet spinach the drink bar and the plate of pancakes about $13 and that includes everything and I am absolutely stuffed it’s dinner time and I moved hotels um in the new hotel man it’s almost connected to the dennies I’ve
Been going to and I really don’t have a lot of ideas for dinner tonight let’s go try that dunda noodle at Denny’s so my new hotel is here and Denny’s is right here it’s like it’s meant to Be so I didn’t know apparently Denny’s has a lunch menu as well I thought the lunch and dinner menu would just be the same menu so I got a neat miso Bowl I see them selling their bolon sauce so I’m thinking that might be pretty good
So I got their their spaghetti with meat sauce and finally of course the dund noodles I’ve been wanted to try I might have over ordered here cuz in the pictures the MEO meatball didn’t look this big so this meal say you get a meatball and a Ramen can you believe
This combo 900 Yen for two bowls of food this is absolutely mindblowing how much you get the value for money here at Denny which I don’t think I’ve ever said before give you a little perp milk and some pepper so the Miso meat Bowl scallion on top looks
Like eggplant onions and minced meat on the bottom this is a lot of food I thought for the price and from the pictures it just be like a little tiny bowl of rice and meat this is absolutely ginormous and there was an option at the endet to make your rice bigger how much
More rice can they put in here it’s really peppercorny it’s spicy I do feel like there’s too much rice in here the racial is definitely a little off but the flavor is fantastic the sauce and the meat very Savory very rich to flavor it’s got a
Ton of Mami in there you can 100% taste all that delicious miso minced meat is delicious like the refreshing crunch of the scallions the egpl is a nice touch I mean it’s delicious I just think there’s too much rice in here I’m Chase it with my favorite Denny’s drink melon Coke
Look at this Ramen looks like a showyou Ramen with a piece of chashu some spinach little bit of wavy noodles the broth looks pretty good all right the broth is not great it’s kind of blend and the noodles are a little soggy I mean it tastes a show you but super
Onedimensional broth and the chashu is super tough and dry I was wondering if I should get a giant bow Ramen here glad I didn’t that was was not good at all jny sells their bowet sauce by the register so this must be good then right smells good this bowl pasta about
450 okay I really like this and I’ll tell you why this tastes almost exactly like the span me sauce you used to get in high school cafeterias of course the pasta here is way more Al Dente whereas the lunchroom pasta just kind of melts like a marshmallow the me sauce tastes just
Like that and I personally love lunchroom spaghetti I think this is great it’s a little sweet a little Tangy feel like it has the same sweetness to tanginess racial as Saucy as rich as meaty it’s a little buttery for under five bucks for a taste of pure nostagia this is
Definitely worth it for me I like this so much this is UN CNY how much they taste like if you know what I’m talking about and you also love the lunchroom spaghetti and me sauce and if you are ever in Japan and want to relive that flavor go to your local
Denny even better will be if I have some garlic bread to go with this finally the dunun noodles this is a really rich bowl of noodles with uh the same meat sauce on the top they use the sauce for a lot of their dishes I think yesterday the
Crab needle also has some of their bologan sauuce this is very very thick smells very peanuty I think they put an egg in here as well to kind of enhance the richness o this definitely peanuty like very very peanuty I feel like it definitely needs more peppercorn it’s got a tiny bit of
Heat there’s some spinach in here some minced meat and it tastes okay it’s definitely extremely peanutty but to make it done you really need a good amount of numbness good amount of peppercorn that this doesn’t really have I mean they give you a black pepper shaker which is not the same thing it’s
A little spicy I think it’s definitely missing a a lot of flavor a lot of depth right now it’s just super one dimensional it just tastes like slightly spicy peanuty noodles I mean it’s not inedible but it’s not good I think the best thing I had tonight the Miso meat
Over rice and the high school pasta but every dish that you do get you’re definitely getting a lot of food for the money all right I’m going to finish up before all my noodles get soy and I’m back at the hotel in under 5 minutes it’s so convenient so Denny’s in Japan
Nothing like the Denny’s back home from the food to the price point to the quality of ingredients it’s like a whole new restaurant that I wish could replace Denise from back home flavors aside all the ingredients from the veg to the fruits everything fresh as can be they
Use a lot of seasonal ingredients and this time of course the strawberries again fresh juicy sweet delicious some of the items that tasted really really good the garlic fried rice from last night the porridge from this morning was great oh the strawberry pancakes amazing also love the drink bar so usually if
You get it with a meal I think dinner is a little more expensive about you know 250 but you get all you can drink cold pressed coffee hot coffee cappuccino different types of tea soft drinks it’s an amazing deal of all the times I’ve been to Japan never even consider going
To Denis but if you are traveling here and you’re looking for a pretty decent meal at a really good price point good at Denny’s it might not always taste the best but it’ll definitely fill you up maybe they should use that as their slogan Foods I recommend garlic pork
Fried rice strongly recommend I think I would also strongly recommend the pancake especially if you are here during strawberry season oh one thing I wish I tried I didn’t was the matcha sunde I bet that thing spectacular so that’s my review of Denny’s here in Japan as always thank you all so much
For watching until we eat again see you later

Oh his gosh………………
Lunch Room Spaghetti!!! Yess Mike!!
I’m surprised you never been to a Denny’s! And you’re in LA, right? Then again so many better breakfast joints there! Also my goodness Denny’s in Japan has a way better menu than in America! 🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😳😳😳
Who said America is number one lol
I love your Japan videos!
I'm so happy you are making more🎉
Nah-whats up "Dennys" ima need some Soda 😅
I ate at Denny's in Nagoya a couple of times because my hotel didn't serve breakfast and I was gobsmacked by how good the food was compared to North American Denny's while still giving me a good Japanese interpretation of a western style breakfast.
Seems like all food chains are better in Japan tbh
Mike's going to have a great shit when he heads to the toilet 🚽…. 😆 Hahahahahaha 😂🤣
This puts the Denny’s based in the US to shame! This is just plain ridiculous.
Y is the food served in the same establishments that are here in the US so much better/the choice's/the varieties, Y the Denny's here don't serve food like that????? And other fast food places?????🤔🤨
i miss the denny’s in woodbridge va, many many years ago. so many great daytime and late night meals there until drunks ruined it and shut it down.
I used to go to my neighbourhood Denny’s a lot in topyrec plaza. It’s been there for years. But after the driving range used to be near there
When I first went to Tokyo as a kid, Denny’s was the very first meal i ever had in Japan since everything else was closed. I thought it was so cool that they served ramen there and it was delicious!
6:01 Mike's looking swole
Too bad our Denny’s is not that good! Why do they always have the better versions of the restaurants in the foreign countries?
Hey Mikey….this is Gurdeep walia from India …I’m a great fan of yours…I have a question…around the globe you look for Chinese food …but you have never posted any videos of your in CHINA …why is it soo
If you're still here in Japan, you got to check out Gusto, #1 of these chain restaurants. They got the cheesiest Hamburg steaks you will ever see😋
This is not Denny's in any way. In America they only serve the finest crap
Don’t lie, you moved hotels to be closer to the Denny’s 😂
As a former Dennys manager, I applaud their ability to change with the times…
On my frequent business trips to Japan, our breakfast option is either Denny's or Jonathan's, which is effectively a Denny's clone. I prefer Jonathan's though as it tastes more home cooked, less artificial, than Denny's. I've only tried breakfast at both, so i can't speak to the rest of the menu.
Love Dennys in Japan.
You can have as MANY drinks as you want not MUCH drinks DUH !!!
Based on the service I have received at Denny's, it would take more than 24 hrs to have three meals there.
Not a fan of the Denny's in the US but was very impressed with the Denny's in the Philippines. I'll be looking for a Denny's the next time I visit Japan.😋
Last time I ate at Dennys I was sick for 3 days….
Why is that restaurant chains like Denny’s and mcdonalds go above and beyond in other countries. Yet in America its only less than half effort and overpriced.
best us Americans can do is go and eat at locals instead
dennys in the US is where you go when u want your pancake used as an ashtray
Slurping ASMR is brutal on this episode.
why do americans eat rice with fork. the asian in me is disappointed in you mike
What happened to all the fancy restaurants and travel worldwide……? ? ? ?
