I really like Vang's Garden at 121 N 11th St. in Chinatown. Food is real fresh and inexpensive. My favorite is the Combination appeizer plate. You get fried Wonton, barbecue shrimp, spring roll, and other goodies. Sometimes I order it for 4 and eat it as my entree.

and a strong third, here.  The style seems much more southeast asian and less chinese.  I went into Vietnam Palace by mistake once after my first visit to the Vietnam, and was disappointed. V. Palace is ok, but much blander and less interesting.
