Spent $83/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $147/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $140/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
