I'm slightly reluctant to post this, lest one of my favorite places become "so
popular that no one goes there anymore."  (I wish I could remember who said
that.)  However, one can have an excellent meal at Cha Gio, near Falls Church
(rte 50 @ Graham Rd, N. side in strip shopping center opposite Loehmann's Plaza)
for under $10.  A couple of weeks back, two of us split an order of spring
rolls, had two entrees, one  beverage, and ran a tab of $15 with tax and tip.  I

recommend the grilled dishes (available with rice or noodles) as some of the
best and least expensive choices.  But try anything.  No entree above $10, I
think.  (I'm a bit worried; they just added some mirrors to the decor--I hope it
isn't a ploy to hike prices.)  The ambiance is highly informal, the service is
good.  No checks or credit cards accepted (does anyone still pay cash?) to keep
prices down.  Did I mention that the place is Vietnamese?  Best beverage to
order is ca phe sua da (iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk).
