MOS Burger

Oh MOS Burger, the MacDonalds of Japan. I remember wanting to go here when it first moved to Brisbane a few years ago in Sunnybank. Then I didn't bother and now I finally went here with my Boyfriend out of a spur of the moment desire.

I felt awkward photographing the front as there was an enthusiastic greeter there

Its located across from King George Square/Station and is a wide open, well lit store. There's more seating upstairs but I was too lazy to go up there since I had a heavy bag with me.

Sorta upstairs?

Here is their menu. I agonised as usual over my choice but I ended up getting a wagyu cheese burger with chicken nuggets and a fancy peach iced tea. On the other hand, my Boyfriend picked the teriyaki chicken burger with chips and their regular iced tea. The chips were crisp but a touch floury in the centre and unsalted to boot. The chicken nuggets were breast pieces and while crisp, were actually pretty average. I wonder why they use Masterfood's chilli sauce and don't have their own brand of sauces?

Hmmm

Also I would just like to mention that I had not received my meal on the first attempt. DUN DUN DUN.

HMMM

I actually received a chicken teriyaki burger on the first attempt and it looked completely different to my Boyfriend's. I took a bite just to confirm and yes it was indeed a chicken teriyaki burger, a well basted sweet, strong Teriyaki flavoured chicken thigh on soft white bread with lettuce and onion. He had also received a chicken teriyaki burger so I went back to talk to my server, who whisked away my burger and replaced it with my proper wagyu beef burger.

That ain't right

If you think it doesn't look fancy its because it isn't. I actually regretted swapping the burger over to what it was supposed to actually be. The beef was a touch dry, the tomato overly ripe, the iceburg lettuce at least kept in the bun like it was supposed to because it was a leaf and not shredded. I can get a better and cheaper beef cheese burger in any other place to be honest. My Boyfriend heartily agreed that his was much better and I should've kept my original burger.

There we go

Their drinks on the other hand were very good, I think its an extra dollar to spring for the peach iced tea but its worth it. There are actual chunks of peaches in the iced tea and there is no bitter astringency to the black tea at all. My Boyfriend swapped drinks with me because the iced tea was just a plain sweet iced tea, good for Asian taste buds not so much so for Aussie ones. L., tells me that the cranberry iced tea is fantastic too. 

I bought a small cranberry iced tea and it was fantastic. They used mostly a cranberry sugar syrup which I thought was sickly sweet but the whole fresh cranberries were fun to fish out and eat. The fresh cranberries added a sour/tart flavour to the tea.

Delicious drinks

The sign included on the dine in trays is pretty cute. It advises you to leave the burger in its wrapper to avoid getting food stains on your clothing.

MOS Burger
Atmosphere: 5, fast food place.
Service: 5, stuffed up my order and apologised profusely.
Food: 5, didn't get food poisoning. The drinks were much better, I'd give them a 7, I'd go back there solely for drinks.
