y66 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Arlington Virginia has a pretty decent restaurant scene. Before rents started taking off in the 90s we had a thriving Vietnamese retail community in the neighborhood, including a couple of grocery stores. Most of the old places are gone. But Pho-75, which is a quintessential cheap eats cafeteria with 20 or so pho dishes on the menu, is still packing them in. Best deal in town imo.

In Dallas I was a few blocks from a small Chinatown, which offered (for cash only) some great authentic Chinese, and just on the other side of that was a quintessential cheap Indian buffet. <$5 for all you could eat, high quality Indian with rice, naan, and raita. It was perfect. All the great food cultures of the world have a great soup or stew defined by flavorful broth, well cooked meats, and fresh accompaniments. It should be quick, cheap, and delicious.

jdeegan Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 How's the pho where you are? :P In Dallas and esp. the northern suburb of Richardson (the east side) it is wonderful at most places that feature it. The Asian community in this area is generally very well-off (think MD's and engineers), and they love to eat out. In Richardson/Plano, esp., they follow their favorite chefs from one little suburban restaurant to another. Unless you read Chinese or go to one of the numerous Asian Christian churches, it is not easy to keep up-to-date. I suggest most of the eateries at a Chinese shopping center in Richardson on Greenville Avenue about three blocks north of Beltline Road (aka. Main Street in Richardson) and about three blocks east of Central Expressway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Love Asian food, but am afraid of MSG (very allergic) so I rarely eat it for lunch here in Chicago. Back home in the burbs I know a few Asian restaurants that for sure don't use MSG so I eat there. In the city, I usually have Indian, or Mexican, or Middle Eastern. I rarely eat American food for lunch in Chicago. Certainly one of my favorites is a Carne Asada Burrito loaded up with habanero sauce. The sauce is hot enough that they don't give it out to gringos unless you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I usually bring leftovers from dinner. I'm so grateful that my job has microwaves and a fridge available. Sometimes I forget to bring a lunch. If I could eat anything for lunch, I would like Sushi, but there isn't a good restaurant near my work. I usually end up going to Subway and having a salad sub. Not a very good lunch, but at least it's food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
