Trying to think of stuff no one's listed.
Lee's is good; it's on 7th street by the Albertson's, and there's a Tung Kee (noodle place) right next to it.
I highly recommend giving Hydration a try; the bentos are definitely a cut above the typical pearl milk tea place IMHO.
Down 3rd street (towards the convention center IIRC) is another vietnamese sandwich place called Da Kao that also has a sit-down restaurant section with Pho and other good stuff. The staff always seem kind of irritated at the customers, but the food is good and the sandwiches are very cheap.
There's a decent Japanese place called Smile Sushi on second street, a few blocks up from the main library. Their lunch combos are about $8-10.
There's a Quizno's on 2nd street by Starbucks and the Repertory Theater, and next to it a pita place and "Lollicup" (a pearl milk tea type place that has Hawaiian-style bentos) though I haven't tried either of those yet).
