The first Vietnamese store (two stories, 350 seats) is located at the roundabout of Dien Bien Phu Street and Nguyen Van Kiem Street in District 1. It operates 24 hours a day and has introduced Vietnam's first drive-thru, drawing significant attention.
Prices include the classic "Big Mac" at 60,000 dong (approx. ¥290), "Cheeseburger" at 40,000 dong, and "McChicken" at 50,000 dong. Add-on set menus with fries and a soft drink cost an extra 25,000 VND each. For the Vietnamese market, the menu includes the "McPork" (40,000 VND), featuring a pork patty and lettuce. While this is pricier compared to a typical "Com Binh Dan" (local eatery) meal costing around 25,000 VND, it is proving popular.
