I had a sushi set today. This was only $8 (990yen)😳 It's very cheap to eat at a restaurant in Japan. No tip service in Japan by the way. *Grammar question. It’s very cheap to eat at a restaurant or It's very cheap eating at a restaurant. Are they both correct?

美味しそう Both sentences are ok. I think that I would probably switch them around and say: Eating at a restaurant is very cheap. To eat at a restaurant is very cheap. I would also change the word 'cheap' to 'inexpensive' or 'reasonable'. In the UK, cheap usually means a low price for something that is lower in quality. We have an idiom that expresses this: 'Well, you get what you pay for'. Inexpensive or reasonable sounds more like you received something of good value even though it didn't cost a lot. 😊

Yummy yummy!!! I hope to travel to Japan as soon as possible. I miss the restaurants there. HAHA. Everything done very well in the details. Sometimes it doesn't look real food, so beautiful it is. I liked the words inexpensive and reasonable to consider in this case. I learn a lot in this app.;-) Thank you guys!!!
