"They have a Venezuelan menu, so you can try something a little further south of the border (and perhaps approach a more authentic Mexican experience on the way). I suggest Venezuelan seafood."

"Don't know what to order at that Indian restaurant? Smell of curry and onion driving you crazy? It shouldn't, it's a rich, earthy aroma. A buffet, with a new location in Moore, for the Indian in you."

"Korean food is unique in that you can get some fermented dishes, such as kimchi. Not for the weak of palate. Potent food, not unlike Indian. Try seafood, and don't ignore the banchan (side dishes)."

"Perhaps not the best Thai food in Oklahoma, but it's very good, and they don't mess around with their spice when you ask for it. The restaurant is clean and pleasing, with plenty of space."

"Sit at the sushi bar or fire it up at the hibachi grill for some fairly unauthentic, but still incredibly delicious, Japanese food. Another semi-pricy place, but great fun to be had at the hibachi."

"Near Campus Corner again, this one serves a great variety of beers, including a personal favorite, Spaten Optimator. Usually very jam-packed and loud, but an interesting menu with Albanian accents."
