I challenge you to do better for lunch than 8 pork soup dumplings and hot tea for $5.39.
oh man is that good. #1 spicy for $4.75 is the way to go. far superior to Banh Mi Saigon Bakery a block away.
beef pho (with just the eye round) is delicious. ask for extra meat or you'll have half a meatless soup. spice it up with the plum sauce and sriracha.
old school Italian sandwiches which are all great. full of cops and firefighters during the lunch rush so come before 1230 or after 2 to avoid the lines.
the beef rendang (Malaysian beef curry) is brisket-like in texture and really really tasty. at lunch it's $6 including rice. yes please.
the Saratoga Club gets lost in the shuffle but is my sleeper choice for best sandwich. and despite everyone raving about the buffalo cucumbers, the broccoli rabe is far superior.
The Picante Bocadillo is incredible - Chorizo sausage, mahon cheese, spicy peppers, tomatoes, and alioli. While you wait, go splittsies on the chorizo with chestnuts
Food that leaves you feeling physically restored because it is so good. Love the soba here. Feels like Japan. Cash only
Better than average Shanghai-style classics in a clean, bright setting. Tasty lunch specials are a great deal.
