Lonely Planet review for Chef Jia's

All three of the sauces on the menu here make nostrils flare in eager anticipation: spicy black bean sauce, tangy brown vinegar sauce, and savory-salty oyster sauce. Mix and match your choice with standbys of chicken, pork, and squid and/or green beans, eggplant, or yams. Dishes are generous to the point of embarrassing, but don't neglect the sublime onion cakes with peanut sauce.

    Best cheap lunch near the Financial District

    sfkatya recommends this,

    $5 for lunch? In the FiDi? So filling I have to take some with me? Fabulous. Though my workplace was a good 15-minute walk away, I regularly hiked over here last year when I wanted a good, cheap lunch.

    The soup is a bit spicy for me, but I'm a wimp. Sorry. Yam in stir-fry is an amazing idea, one I wish I'd thought of myself. The yam is cooked just right and combined with a wonderful amount of garlic (read: a lot) and chicken, then served up with a good deal of rice. Yum.

    On top of all this, you don't have to wait in line like you do next door. Who would go elsewhere? Not I.
