I am right and you're wrong if you disagree. I don't like to eat paella, so it doesn't matter. Mexican food doesn't matter Hard to make a convincing argument

  It's weird because it's also wrong, which makes me think this person hasn't really thought hard about this: - There's a couple decent paella places, and some fine Spanish bars that serve some food. - "best patisseries in the world" is a stretch. There's good stuff, but most major cities in France have one or two places that would beat all of Tokyo's places. - The egg-salad sandwiches at most convenience stores are not super tasty. I mean it will beat any convenience store food outside of Japan, but I would still only eat convenience store food for time/money reasons. Best food of its kind, but a restaurant will usually be better. - there's a lot of South-asian restaurants? Notably thai, though I can't vouch for the quality, not knowing what the "real deal" is. My experience mostly aligns with the author, though. Tokyo has such variety and such a high baseline for food compared to what I've experienced elsewhere that I'm afraid to leave because I've gotten so used to not worrying about bad food. There's a lot of non-authentic stuff (Chinese places, notably, are all "Japanified"), but usually two or three places that are the real deal for a kind of food. Except for breakfast food, have not been able to figure out where to get a "Waffle House experience" before 11 AM

    In term of patisseries, it's a matter of taste. Patisseries in Japan tend to be less sweet than in France so if, like me, you like them less sweet, then it's difficult to find something as good in France. I agree with the rest of what you say.
