I keep hearing Americans say that food prices in Japan are high and I think it's another one of those stereotypes from a different time like the unusually long work hours and high suicide rate. It was true decades ago, but it's certainly not true now.

But in general I think fast food here in Japan is overpriced and certainly not worth the price. This is because you can get quality food at a real restaurant for as less. Just not much incentive to spend more for some junk. China is even worse. McDonald's and KFC is like a luxury meal there, total waste of money.

Mdonalds and KFC, Pizza Hut, and especially Dominos are overpriced here. KFC is terrible here and costs so much. A large pizza at Dominos (like the same size as a medium in the US?) is almost 3000.

A regular Japanese restaurant is super cheap.

These tourists also go to tourist trap areas in Tokyo, so yeah they get the expensive stuff.

Also cook your own food, its cheaper and takes as much time as it does to drive to the place, get mad, and come back home.
