Official: BEST "Local" inexpensive restaurant in the Bay Area! (FOOD!!!)

Golden Buddha on Aborn and White in San Jose. Best Chinese food, plus they give massive portions. Definitely recommend it.
Edit: Try going between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. for lunch specials. $7.99 for the amazing portions.

not totally dirt cheap, but cheap enough (about $3 per slice). their pizza is kick ***.
IMO, Ike's is overrated. for the money and quality, Little Lucca is way better. Kabuto isn't exactly inexpensive or in the Sunset.

not the greatest pizza in the world but it always tastes fresh, and their "monster slice" is literally a small pizza! monster slice + salad + soda = $5.

got me, its outer richmond, i was typing fast and didnt really think about it, just assume anything west of 14th is sunset for some odd reason. anyways, theres no such thing as good cheap sushi, you pick one, good or cheap; but you cant have both. i still vouch for kabuto, best sushi in the city hands down, not cheap but a great value considering the quality, if you know a better place please post it, i'd like to try it out.

Not walking distance, Wings is in Japan Town - 4th & Jackson
Crawdaddy is close, but I don't eat shellfish as a general rule. There is a pretty awesome Pho place on 10th & Keyes which is less than 10 min walk from you.

If you guys are ever in Fremont, check out Pizza & Curry
I know, it doesn't sound like a good combination, but trust me its helllla good. Its a traditional pizza but with a twist. Get the Chicken Tikka, I know you won't be disappointed.
