It depends on the sentence.
eg The grocery store sells many different foods.
eg The restaurant owner serves many diferent dishess.

Chiakingdom Sukiyaki is one of the famous Japanese foods. Is this sentence grammatically correct?
'one of the famous X' is clumsy. Use 'a famous X' or 'one of the most famous X'.

The encyclopedia (See Wikipedia, for example.) calls sukiyaki a dish, not a food. That means it's made from several different ingredients (foods) combined in a special way
