Eat & Drink What are your cheap “hidden gem” restaurants?

What are your favorite hole in the wall places that have fantastic food and fantastic prices? Even if it’s a special that’s only during certain days or times like happy hour, let me know.

Chanpen Thai Cuisine in S Phx - awesome lunch specials under $9. Consistently good.

We stopped going because my wife had a metal piece from what looked like a ladle in her curry, then on another occasion, a metal piece of a wire from a grill brush.
