Chipotle's ready to unveil its new Asian-themed fast-casual eatery, and our suspicions were true. It will be called ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen. The concept will be "inspired by the traditional shophouses found throughout Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam."

We love the blend of fast-casual convenience and quality that Chipotle offers, whether you're at the Orlando airport or in New York's East Village. "I have always believed that the Chipotle model would work well with a variety of different cuisines," founder Steve Ells said of ShopHouse. Steve, we couldn't agree more; it's one of the few chain restaurants we can tolerate. In fact, we've got more ethnic fast-casual ideas that we think you should pull out of your sleeve. To see them all, keep clicking.

Onlysourcherry....I wholeheartedly agree with you. We had an independent Indian restaurant that was sort of a Panda Express style...and it was amazing. Such a great deal too. Pretty much all of the other Indian places are more of a sit down dining experience. So bummed they closed down. I get sad every time I have a craving for quick, inexpensive, good quality Indian food.
