"Food wasn't good as it used to be" "Food wasn't as good as it used to be" These sentences are wrong. The food ISN'T as good as it used to be. It's a bit tricky putting this phrase into the past. **The food wasn't as good then as it had been earlier.**

By saying "food" and not "the food", you're talking about food in general. Surely you mean some specific food ("the food")? You're making a (negative) comparison here, so use the "as... as" pattern. I agree with Eliot that "wasn't... used to be" is messy in the one sentence. He suggested past perfect (had been), which gives you a clearer sentence.
