> Food trucks are a very close approximate to this type of restaurant.
The quality is a world of difference though.
Those tiny restaurants in other countries have real chefs with full, if small, kitchens, cooking sit down meals.
Best bowl of ramen I had in Japan was a single chef establishment, he was in a U-shaped open kitchen and guests sat around him.
> I wonder if there are any differences on the retail market, business capital market, or legal regulations that encourage empty retail spots to be quickly filled in Kyoto and Suzhou.
I think the very existence of small retail spots helps!
> and to a lesser proportional degree Suzhou, have much more tourism than Seattle has.
FWIW, if anyone reading this is wondering where to go next, I'd recommend Suzhou! (or visit Seattle in late spring, Suzhou in early autumn!)
Every year at PAX West I am saddened by the lack of good food around DT Seattle for people to eat. Granted downtown is largely a business district, but I bet Subway gets the majority of PAX West food sales!

In 2017 Seattle had 39.9 million tourists (https://www.visitseattle.org/press/press-releases/seattle-se...), in 2013 Suzhou had 1.7 million (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/m/jiangsu/suzhou/travel/2013-09...)
