Double Dragon

Asian cuisine
This Asian cuisine is on the corner of Spadina and Richmond. It is clean and crisp, with freshly made food, variety of daily specials and just the right prices. The Majority of lunch special dishes are between $8-10 dollars with taxes included.
The dining area is composed of 4-5 wide tables that comfortably sits 8. The portions are generous, and served on big plates. The refreshing healthy combination that I picked was curry chicken - carrot, potato, lemongrass, coconut, bay leaf in yellow curry, with mixed veggies and steamed rice.
The place is ideal if you are coming with 4 or more because of the seating arrangements.
Just to add one final note even with a lineup from the entrance, it takes only few minutes to get your meal.

Peter Street Deli

Full tummy and a full wallet
This very old, family owned establishment is not a place that you can spot by flashy looks but it is definitely going to provide enough material for gastronomic memories of filling meals.
My choice was the Cantonese noodles. They sat on a bed of crispy noodles topped with chicken and mixed vegetables. Mmmm it was yummy. I dare you to finish the whole portion. The menu is dominated with Chinese specialties and you can have a meal with tip and taxes for under $10. The open kitchen cooking, in the center of the restaurant, can "stay with you" in a way, but it didn’t bother me. I almost forgot; there is an additional touch that nicely compliments the food prepared in front of you. No matter if you are there first, second or twenty second time, you will feel like a local. I’m not sure how they are doing it but i
