This may be dollar for dollar the best place to eat in the bay area! For 6 or seven bucks you can get just about anything on the menu. It will taste great and be made fast ( I personally always get number 49 but I know lots of people who would kill for the 5 spice chicken).

Golden Star Vietnamese is a great place for Vietnamese Noodle soup. My favorite is the House Special (#1) - a beef noodle soup with rare (it cooks while it seeps in the broth) flank steak, beef balls, tripe, etc. It is delicious and at a price of $4.35 a bowl, it's also a bargain! Along side the soup, you are served bean sprouts, jalapeno peppers, and sprigs of basil. Tear off the basil leaves and drop them in the broth along with the peppers (if you like it spicy!) and sprouts. They will cook in the soup and tastes delicious! If you're coming around the prime lunch hour of noon during the week, be prepared to wait for a table. The tables usually fill up by noon but if you arrive around or before 11:30, there isn't a wait.
