Ichiban Teriyaki
5 Stevenson Street (off First, near Market)

M-F 10:30am – 3:30pm
Come to this nondescript-but-busy space on a side street off First St., and you’ll get big portions of fresh protein for your lunch.
I’ve eaten their Chicken Teriyaki plate ($5.48) which includes 1.5 grilled chicken breasts (I counted) on top of a bed of rice, with some tempura vegetables and your choice of a tiny green salad or steamed vegetables. Bascially it’s your usual square white styrofoam container, with one big entree area, and 2 smaller side order areas.

“Seriously…we’re giving away a ton of free pizza. Don’t miss out.”
No time specified, but I got this little card handed out to me at lunchtime downtown.
Editor’s Update: This will go on until midnight. You will get a medium pizza. You can not order it in advance. You don’t need a coupon but they’ll be passing those out anyway!!

Met a buddy who knew the right Chinese food place to check out…Grubgirl had a craving for wonton soup and this place gets an A+. A big bowl of wontons, with plenty of meat in them, savory broth, and, the pleasant surprise was that there was some tofu, fish cake, and meat also thrown in!
