More Lunch Specials

I was walking to the Safeway shopping center today and walked past one of my favorite fast-Mexican food restaurants in Midtown, Chita's. They have lunch specials for $2.99 Mon-Fri!! It's too far for me to trek over for lunch during work, but I know someone out there can take advantage of it. I don't remember what was on the specials, but since it's Chita's I don't doubt that the food is both outstanding and plentiful.

$5.99 Lunch

The Bali Wine Bar and Grill at 2416 18th Street in Sacramento is offering $5.99 lunch specials. The deal includes salad bar, Balinese rice and your choice of:

• Chicken Satay
• Beef Satay
• Pork Choop: grilled & marinaded in Indonesian Soya sauce
• BBQ Chicken
• Mi Sayuran: stir fried egg noodles, greens and tofu

Lunch is served from 11:00 to 2:00 pm, Monday through Saturday

Boon Boon Deals Deals

Carmen blogged about Boon Boon Cafe a while ago, but I think their lunch specials are worth a mention. Boon Boon now has lunch specials that include an entree, rice and a house salad for $5.95. Specials are available from 11:00 - 3:00 on weekdays. You can find the menu here. There are 17 choices to choose from, including vegetarian options. I've had the Eggplant Tofu and the Green Curry - both were delicious. I highly recommend the Tom Kha Gai soup. It is to die for, and according to the menu it "provides a natural boost in your immunity!"

I think this place is hard for a lot of people to find because (a) it's behind a Subway sandwich shop, (b) there is ridiculously little signage, (c) it's next to a nail salon and a check cashing place and (d) it's a little off the beaten path -- the corner of Broadway and Stockton. Don't be intimidated by the neighborhood -- heck it's just blocks from my house -- and stop in and enjoy the flavors!

Speaking of Lunch Deals...

A few years back there was a sushi restaurant on the corner of S and 18th. I don't remember what it was called (I am sure somebody out there does). I remember it being good, but then it was gone and now it's Ju Hachi by Taka (was Taka the name of the place??).

Stacy and I hit Ju Hachi for lunch today and I wanted to pass on their lunch specials. I was originally going for sushi, but their menu was too good to pass up. For $8 you can choose one of the following items, along with soup, salad and rice, and for $11.50 you can choose two items.

• Tempura (shrimp and vegetables)
  
• Chicken Teriyaki
• Sesame Chicken
• Spicy Chicken Teriyaki
• Chicken Katsu
• Beef Teriyaki
• Sushi (five pieces, chef's choice)
• Sashimi (five pieces, chef's choice)
• BBQ Albacore
• BBQ Salmon

I had the BBQ albacore and the sesame chicken while Stacy had the same BBQ and the tempura. The portions were huge -- I really was shocked by the size of my albacore portion! Both my items were great and Stacy liked hers too. We were both stuffed for $12 each!

The dinner menu looks good too and I definitely want to go back and try some sushi!
