Mai, a tiny, charming Pan-Asian resto on Atlantic, between Third and nevins, on the north side of the street, currently offers a M-F lunch special for $8 that can't be beat. Tasty and abundant.
An Asian salad, greens, mint, diced fresh veg, sprouts, chick peas and peanuts, then your choice of grilled pork chop or chicken with fried dumplings, steamed greens and rice. The atmosphere is lovely, the waitstaff is attentive. A small but good wine-list.
There is a garden out back.
A great place for dinner too, but the lunch special is something to cheer you in these days of cut-backs.
This is one of my favorites.
