Food halls?

What sort of unique dishes are you looking for? Your area is loaded with
diverse foods.

IIRC, there's a Seafood City on Rose Avenue.  If you're interested in SE Asian
foods, they typically have some nearby restaurants as well as pretty much
anything you would need for a great home-made dish.

We've also had some really good latin meals down your way, as well as some
great food trucks. Heck, Seul Sausage won the great food truck challenge and
opened a couple of brick & mortar restaurants a few years back.

One of the best ways we find new and interesting meals, is to find a
hole-in-the-wall ethnic restaurant that seems a bit crouded, and whose
customers greatly match the intended audience. Some of the best meals we've
ever had have been ones that we had to point at and nod due to language
barriers.

If you're fairly timid, and don't want to commit to a specific dish in a place
of unfamailiar cuisine, try and find buffets. - Not the fat american bufffets,
the ones that have international audience and foods. We've learned a ton about
the indian and mediterranean foods by simply sampling where we could.
