there is nothing wrong with being predictable, especially for lunch specials. you've got a limited amount of time and you want to make sure that your lunch hour is not wasted.
in the medical center area, yaya's on callaghan is right on target. place your order from the long list of lunch specials and in less than 5" your soup is served -- and it's good soup, too -- a clear broth with a bright flavor of lemongrass and a hint of scallion. there is a large helping of rice at the bottom of the bowl, too. the standards are offered and can include chicken, pork, beef, tofu or shrimp (shrimp is extra). all lunch orders include tea and the obligatory spring roll. the restaurant is spacious, pleasant and theserviceis prompt and friendly.
