So you're starving and you only have $5.....

I suggest parking it in one of the no-nonsense yet cozy booths at New China Express. This is not a place I would take an out-of-towner for a "real Chinese food experience," but this place definitely has a lot going for it. First of all, their portions are ludicrous for the price you are paying-- I often take half home, turning $5 into two pretty delicious meals. Secondly, when you order the lunch option (which is always available, cheaper than dinner, and has a huge entree), you also get some tasty side options. If that doesn't do it for you, consider the freaking 8-foot TV in the back of the restaurant, or the lightning-fast service. I give this a solid three-star "good" rating for those nights when you're detesting the thought of cooking and feeling a little poor.
