Honestly from what I've seen on YouTube videos it looks like Japanese food/restaurants costs less to the customer
Depends on the type of place and where it is, but it can be cheaper. Beers here are quite expensive comparatively. I guess the caution I would give is that I've been back to the US once in the last 6 years (last summer), so things may have changed a lot there that I'm unaware of.
It's amazingly cheap to eat out in Japan compared to the US. I used to live in Japan and have visited since. Just a couple of years ago, even, right before the pandemic struck. It is a little more expensive in Japan now than it was then because they're seeing inflation for the first time in practically forever, but it's still very cheap compared to the US.
It's one of the best things about visiting Japan. You can go nuts eating fantastic food at bargain prices. You can find expensive restaurants if you want to, of course.
