Inspired by @brisket44 's $12 Ming Kee roasted meat rice plate find, I am interested to find out what other cheap and good eats there are around the Bay Area.
This is what I had last Wednesday at Orange Square/ Cupertino - $9.99 steamed then roasted chicken leg rice plate. They are Taiwanese. Very solid lunch that’s cooked from scratch.
SFGate reports on Little Aloha, a “Hawaii-inspired” lunch counter on Taraval in the city. Lunches as low as $6.50.

Chase Luck on Ocean Avenue, SF.
$10 lunch special (includes tax - $10.25 if you want a bag). Two items over rice or noodles, about 10 items to choose from - noodles (thick or thin) or rice (plain or pork fried). Hearty lunch. I got curry chicken and veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage and lotus root).
Little Aloha on Taraval (across the Street from Tennessee Grill). This is the large portion of the BBQ shrimp and mixed shrimp/sausage. Very good, really garlicky, the cabbage had a slight vinegary flavor. Plump shell on shrimp. Large is $16, small is $8. Although not listed on their website they also had kalua pork.
