Head to Chinatown and eat at any place that doesn't have English on the menu.

I did that last time I was there, but with Indian. Concierge at the hotel I was at recommended a place for "adventurous" eating. His directions were "head down the street, when you get to the corner, go 1/2 block down the side street and turn down the alleywway, look for a set of stairs going up behind the building, the entrance is at the top of the stairs". No English spoken, no English on the menu. We just pointed at things and they brought food. The only thing that I know that I had was something with a tamarind sauce that was exquisite. I have no idea what the rest was, but it was also top notch.

Or, Red Lobster.
