Also, please, please, please do a big piece on Omi's Chinese menu. It's not hidden because a huge portion of this city's population are mouthbreathers and drive past it every day, but just ignore it in favor of Chili's or Applebee's.

Omi really needs big exposure because most of Baton Rouge would rather eat dogshit before supporting a really good restaurant. The rest of us should know about that place, though.

Omi's Chinese menu. Do it.


Agree.

Breaks my heart every time I go in there and it's empty.

The Garlic Sauce Eggplant might be one of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere.

More people need to know about this place.. and NOT order sushi rolls.

Omi really needs to put descriptions on the Chinese menu. I don't let it stop me from going, but having to call over the owner to explain the menu to me every time I want to try something new gets old.


Yeah, I agree with that. If you want people of BR to experience real Chinese, you have to reach out to them with some effort. They need some advertising.. something that finds a tactful way of letting people know it's not run-of-the-mill Americanized Chinese food. And then they need to put descriptions on the menu because "Ants Climbing Trees" tells me nothing.

Amen!! Best Chinese in BR..and it's not even close.

Hope they survive and eventually thrive..but at times the parking lot and empty seats suggest dive?
