Looks surprisingly pricy honestly, I ate out at city centre restaurants in Beijing for less than these cost.
I can't speak to the price of western food, so maybe. But as someone who recently went to China and ate a fuckton of noodle bowls and dumplings, it's definitely not cheaper than that. And I was just a bumbling tourist. Like yes a whole meal could reasonably cost more than one burger, but for equivalent food quantity, no way.
The cheapest I saw was in local neighbourhoods in Beijing, you could get a sizeable dumpling at 1-1.5元, about four would make a very heart meal.
