First, I spent 8 days in China (Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou) in Jun 2000. There are many McDonald's, but KFC is the most popular. This is an absolute fact verifed by one of our guides.
In Korea the favorite may be McDonald's, but Pizza Hut is a close second. In Seoul, their is an upscale shopping area known as Myong Dong. In that 3 or 4 block square area there are two McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Arby's, Baskin Robins, KFC, Popeye's Chicken, Subway, and a Burger King. Around Seoul there several Tony Roma's, several Outbacks (I know, not American), TGIF, Chili's, and Bennigan's. The most prevalent is McDonalds. I should point out that there are several Starbucks as well.
