Crave the ginger chicken from your favorite Vietnamese restaurant but don't feel like going out? The place might deliver.
These restaurants–all from The Washingtonian's 100 Best Bargain Restaurants or 100 Very Best Restaurants (marked with a *)–have their own drivers. Most deliver within three miles or so from the restaurant. Almost all have Web sites where you can see a menu, or they will fax you one.
Many top restaurants not listed here deliver through services like Takeout Taxi–but for that, you'll pay a service fee. These restaurants do not charge for delivery, although they ask that you tip the driver.
