Best place for ethnic casual(ish) for an early Friday dinner near Mucky Duck?

Just as the title suggests. Looking for a good, quick (non-romantic) bite near Mucky Duck.

I'm not super familiar with the area and didn't find a way to sort through restaurants on the lists we have here by location. (Has anyone ever made a google map of the recommendations?)

While we'd prefer a more adventurous/new-to-us type of cuisines, if there is something that y'all view as "can't miss" in the general area I'd be open to hearing any and all! Not particularly intrigued by the menu at MD. (Not that it sounds bad at all, but just looking for something a little different).

I've been to Loro many times and while I enjoy it, I'd love to branch out.
