Need to eat dinner NOW. Can you meet the challenge?

[TommyJay]

Here's the challenge:

Need a great dinner recommendation for three not-so-rich grad students NOW. We leave in half an hour so reservations are not so good.

Location: Near Theater District, including close South End restaurants.

Price: Not upscale/pricey but also not McDonalds.

Atmosphere: Cool, hip crowd. No dress code. We're in jeans.

Bonus point if the place is asian-influenced but not a requirement.

Go!

Time to leave now. Where are you going?

Montien , Penang, Also Bubor Cha Cha has a funky tikki bar kind of feel

Bubor Cha Cha. The new Malaysian/Indonesian resto in Chinatown. Good thought. How is the food?

Panang

Nice, trufflehound!!! And from what I've heard, Meyers and Chang's a good option, but maybe a little pricier?
Xinh Xinh? How about good chinese seafood? Peach Farm or East Ocean City.
How are all these restaurants affected by the water ban?

Myers and Chang is definitely pricier--I would budget $30+ per person if you're fairly hungry, more if you're drinking.

[justbeingpolite]

You're also more likely to need a reservation, for three of you, you can get one on Open Table now for 9pm.

Montien, 63 Stuart Street. Thai. Hip. Eat off the Traditional Menu.

Do I win?

[justbeingpolite]

'course it's not 4:30 when I posted, but 7:30

[TommyJay]

Maybe . . . still waiting for more submissions. You get points for locale since I'm literally staring at the place right now from our school!

Also, maybe Meyers and Chang?

[Pegmeister]

You are quick, I would have said Montien as well. For burgers and pub fare, I like Intermission Tavern.
