Indeed, whereas Chinatowns in other countries are noted for their bargain prices, Yokohama's has gone the high-end route. Steamed buns cost 300 to 500 yen each (about NT $ 60 to $ 100), and if a little tea is thrown in to go with them, three or four people can easily run up a tab of 10,000 yen--not a cheap prescription to cure homesickness for an overseas student!
原來，和其他國家唐人街的「價廉」大不相同，橫濱中華街走的是高價位路線，這裡一個包子售價在日幣三百至五百圓之間（約六十至一百元新台幣），若要點菜，三、四個人吃掉上萬日圓只算普通消費。對留學生而言，這帖鄉愁良方還真不便宜！
