    Anything under $7, but preferably <=$5 w/o tax. Just wanted to try some new places.

    Five bucks? That's really cheap. Plan on drinking water with your meal?

    Lai Lai's Dumpling House. Not only cheap, but some of the best Chinese in the city.

    Ranosh Cafe

    not exactly your typical sit in restaurant, but reallly great food. I think i had a chicken shwarma there for about 5 bucks. the spices were great plus you can also enjoy a hookah there for another 5-7 bucks

    try it out!

    Lai Lai's really cheap and gives a lot of food. But don't be mistaken about the quality, it's above average. Better than most americanized Chinese food, but if you're in China town, there are a lot more better restaurants next to it.

    They used to be great.

    Now they suck.

    To experience what Lai Lai used to be like when it was good, check out Santong Snacks, located in the strip mall just west of Lai Lai where the Tan Tan restaurant is located. Killer dumplings and soups.

    If you like hamburgers, you can go to the McDonalds on Bissonnet and Beltway 8, all the mayo you want, no questions asked.
