I used to get the small hali at Burrito Boyz but the grilled sandwiches at Sandwich Box (Queen and John) are amazing - Ace bakery breads + 3 toppings + a spread with green salad for $6.20 or something like that. I love the Rosemary Foccacia with avocado chipotle spread, roast chicken, portabello mushrooms, and zucchinis. Well reasoned and the chicken is so juicy!

- Korean Hot Stone Tofu with all the trimmings, app dishes and rice at the place on Bloor West Near Christie. (Damned if I knew what the place is actually called - but there's a big yellow sign!)!
- Gold Stone Noodles for Chinese Noodles, Stir Fries, roast meats etc etc etc at Spadina and Dundas.
- Just about Any dim sum place for dim sun for one.
- Japanese noodles an rice dishes at the New Noodel place on Yonge just a block north of Empress Walk.I can go on! :-D

$10 is a lot of money for a decent meal in TO! Coming from the suburbia where one can get very decent freshly cooked Chinese meals at $4.99 either at food court or dine in with service, I rarely pay more than $10 for a normal daily meal.
Aside from really good sandwiches from Black Camel & Sandwich Box (featured in CityBite this issue), there are also lots of ethnic options.
- Vietnamese sub - $1.50 in Chinatown (any one of the 3 stores north of Dundas on Spadina)
- Northern Chinese dumplings at Dumpling House in Chinatown - starting at $3.99 for 12 dumplings freshly made by hand when you order
- Indian Dosa & Thali - Mostly $4-6 in Little India
- Korean home style meal (pork bone soup, dumplings, rice cakes, rice, noodles, etc.) - $5-7 per dish including side dishes & plain rice in Korean Town
- Ethiopian at Lalibela - $14 for the meat / veggie platter for 2, i.e. $7 per person
- Somali at New Bilan - $8 per person including soup, meat dish with vegetables & rice, soft drink / juice, cookies & tea
And most of these places have already included taxes in their price. -

re: jasmine88
Well are you ever correct,absolutely, excellent, but I guess I have been mistakingly for decades ordered the same meal with an added lightly curried piece of chicken!!!!!! Supplementry comment, Saigon Palace probably has the best and most consistent steamed rice anywhere! And the Vietnamese Beef Soup has an incredible added touch that I have never found in any other place, a nicely soft piece of Daikon Radish! My visits are unfortunately rare, but years of their operation have still preserved their mainstays! Much more but........

it's just west of honest ed's at bathurst and bloor. south side of bloor with a big orange and turquoise sign.
it's japanese minus the sushi and there are almost always japanese customers inside. along with the general japanese food such as teriyaki, tempura, dumplings, noodles, etc... they also do mini-woks where you're essentially hot potting.
awesome and completely reasonable in price if not ultimately really cheap.
