Hope this gives you a good idea of pricing. Also, the menus and prices are posted outside of each restaurant, so you can decide before you go in. Just be aware that servings are generally smaller than they are in the U.S., although we found that the servings we got for meals (sit-down meals, buffeteria meals, etc.), were actually quite sufficient for us - we were satisfied, but not stuffed. The snacks and sodas are on the smaller side, but we just used that as an opportunity to try a variety of foods without getting stuffed!
