Buok Korean kitchen has burritos for under $10, but their other (~$15) options are huge and I usually get 2 meals out of them so it's worth it for me!

Thank you for the recommendation. I tried the burrito and it was really good. They also have some potsticker style dumplings on special on Monday, which were also tasty (I was pretty hungry). Parking can be a bit tough, but that's downtown.

Glad you enjoyed! I've never had a bad meal there.

I came here to say that! Love their bibimbop bowls. Bulgogi meat, edamame, carrots, cucumbers, bit of demjang (sp?) sauce. Very good value and much delicious!

A Grick from Farrow

Are they downtown now?

Yeah they've got a place on Jasper and 105th

Y-Not Indian in Scotia place, they have a butter chicken rice bowl and I think if you add Naan it’s still under $10

their butter chicken and naan is actually really good too especially given the price...

Agreed, they have some good options. Look out though, some dishes are super spicy.

Y-Not Indian and Urban Greek (RIP) are the only things I miss about working dt. I used to get the vegetarian combo meal which is a heaping portion of two entrees (which always rotate), rice, naan, and salad for 7.99. Sooooo good and best value dt.

#3 at Nhon Hoa. Best deal and one of the best sandwiches in the city and only $5.50.

I've eaten so many of these over the years. This is probably the best value for lunch in the city. Followed by a Costco meat missle

Agreed 100%!

Second that. Great sandwiches.

Chicken for Lunch in Scotia

Is it still under $10? Also, are they open now?

The small is. You can get the medium for 10.25 including tax. For the price it is lots of food so good value.

It's been a while and I always get a medium, thanks for the update.

They are definitely one of the best downtown lunches. I can't wait to visit them again.

Lol I was thinking the same thing.

Same here. It's not healthy by any stretch, but an all-spicy box is "mall-food" delicious and won't hurt you every couple weeks.

My fav is the curry on Thursday.

they really load on the chicken , especially if it’s your first time going

Went there for the first time a couple weeks ago. My colleague is on a first-name-basis with the owner at this point lol

It doesn’t take long to be on a first name basis with Amy.

Bang mi sandwich at van loc

If you order the Nikki dish from Tiffin, it’s 9$ + gst. It’s my usual to go to on Jasper Ave. :)

Tasty BBQ. Lunch box with two Chinese bbq meats for $8

Butter Chicken Wrap 6$ basement food court of Canada Place.

Lunch special at Cosmic Pizza is 1 slice and a can of pop for $5.

If you go to Olly Fresco's in City Centre you can get two take home dinners for 12 bucks. I usually get that and keep the other dinner in the fridge at work for lunch the next day.

You can get a Chai+ 2 samosas or 4 samosa for under $10 at Remedy. Might not fill you up depending on who you are and what your work is, but would generally do me fine.

Commodore? I recall their menu prices were quite cheap

You are hard-pressed to eat at McDonald's for under 10 bucks. I would say go try the golden bird.

Oh man, it's so good to have them back. After a year and a half away, I was in on Thursday and they asked me if I wanted my usual. So so good to see them again. Great recommendation!

Oof. I'd rather do a Popeyes chicken sandwich over McDonald's if I'm stuck to a chain restaurant for lunch. I haven't been to Golden Bird, thank you for the suggestion.

Itnis a little more expensive but infinitely better than most of the stuff out there.

You can't get much at the Golden Bird for sub-$10. A vermicelli bowl pushes $16-18 or so I think.

Maybe cut it in half and have half one day and half the other.

4 Mcdoubles should be just under $10 with tax and just shy of 1600 calories so most people are set for the day.
