Japanese Canteen
I tried them but the food wasn't that great. Is it usually decent? My chicken teriyaki just seemed soggy :(

I'd almost certainly just keep going totally on sushi from Itsu if I was you.

Which part of Holborn are you? Covent Garden or towards Chancery Lane?

If the latter, I can suggest the following:

  • representing burritos, try either Daddy Donkey by Leather Lane, or Adobo next to High Holborn. I actually favor the latter, though DD is awesome

  • There's an Itsu by Holborn station, I really like their salads as well as udon pots

  • There's a fantastic Vietnamese house called Banh Mi Bay on the corner of Grays Inn Road and Theobalds Road. Amazing baguettes to take away, and the sit-down chow looks grand too.

  • At the same crossroads, there's a pizza/pasta place called Malletti, definitely worth checking out.

  • For falafel/kebab wraps, check out King of Falafel at the very top of Leather Lane. I swear beside that place, am there every week. Equally, there's a new-ish place called Meal Deal further along Leather Lane that does good chicken wraps very cheaply.

I am so hungry right now, dammit.

These are some good suggestions. There's also a very nice pannini place down sicilian av. except i think it might be almost 550 for one :angry:
...Damn! is it worth spending that further 50p?

Came here to recommend Daddy Donkey.

Went to an interview near Holborn one time, and it didn't go especially well. Eating that burrito made it all okay...

I like to treat myself once a week or so. To be truthful £5.00 is not sufficient for a nice treat like most are telling but will cover quite a substantial lunch from boots/sainsburys/tescos/waitrose if you catch one of their meal deals.

Welcome to London.

TBH you can't go considerably wrong with something on Leather Lane.

If you're ready to go a little further, http://essexeating.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/clerkenwell-lunch-options-part-2-moro.html does a street stall on Exmouth Market each day where you can find a delicious meal for precisely a fiver.
