How it's used
Focuses specifically on the balance between price and quality rather than just being cheap. It implies that the food is worth the money spent, often used when someone feels they got a good deal. It is frequently paired with adjectives like 大件 to emphasize generous portions.
Examples
This restaurant is cheap and good value, let's come again next time.
Do you think this lunch is good value for money?

Common phrases
big portion and good value
very good value for money
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe something that is merely cheap, as it specifically requires the food to be tasty or satisfying enough to justify the price. If something is cheap but tastes bad, you would not call it 抵食.
