Not quite sure what's going on at Omi, but my last two visits have been disappointing. I bought some $25 off vouchers last week via WAFB and decided to go today to use one for lunch. They had some unfamiliar faces working in there today, which made me ponder whether or not it was under new ownership (I hope not!) First off, the girl who took our order was about 7 years old -- no, that is not an exaggeration. She had a little pad and a pencil and wrote down what I told her while her mother (?) looked over her shoulder. The food just wasn't good -- the fried honey chicken was very poor-quality chicken and mostly batter, similar to what you'd find under a heat lamp at a 2nd rate Chinese buffet. The other dishes we had weren't much better. I don't know if there's a new chef or new owners or what exactly the problem is, but it certainly was a disappointment.

That's disconcerting...

I haven't been in a month or so, and never for lunch. I'll have to order something soon.

I haven't been in a while, but that's disappointing to hear.

The honey chicken at omi sucks.

It's the only thing I've gotten that I didn't like and that was roughly 6-7 months ago.

We just left there and had a great dinner. This was my first time so I have nothing to compare it to though. We had garlic pork, ching qing chicken, egg drop, and a special salad. All were very good, the chicken was a little hotter than I expected.

Went for lunch earlier this week and things were still spot on (had the cumin pork). There were some new faces in the front of the house but I did see the same older guy come out of the kitchen.

They are under new ownership but the chef is still the same person. Service sucks but food is still good.
