I’ve found that many people hype the Chong Qing chicken, eggplant, and Cumin dishes at Omi —- but there are some dishes st 9 Dragon Noodle House that I’ve found to be even better. I don’t care for their ramen or bibimbap, but their authentic/specialty dishes are excellent.
Specifically which dishes do you recommend? I love omi but want to try 9dragpn nh

my wife had to work today so we had to postpone our visit to Lee's until later this week, or maybe Father's Day

I'm back out of state, and it will be my first meal when I get back

Finally made my way to Lee's today; I me my daughter there for an early Father's Day meal. Overall, I was a little disappointed, based on the hype it's received here.
Started out with the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" appetizer, made popular by Pepper Twins in Houston. In case you're unfamiliar with the dish, it's slices of beef tendon and tongue, tossed with sesame paste, Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, peanuts, and chili oil, served cold. This was probably the best dish we had, a tongue-numbing textural assault. It was good, not great, and I was glad that I tried it, but I doubt I'd order it again.
My daughter ordered the double-cooked pork (sorry I forgot to take a pic), which came with fried rice and egg drop soup. The soup was gelatinous and very thick, which was a turn-off for her. The double-cooked pork, which I was really excited about, including fermented salted black beans which were extremely salty, to the point of the dish being unpalatable. I felt bad because she only took a few bites.
For my entree I had the black pepper beef, which was served with dan dan noodles. The young server mixed the noodles for me tableside, which was a nice touch. Both the noodles and beef were OK, but once again, nothing special.
There were quite a few dishes I really wanted to try, but since there were only two of us, there was no need to order more. I'm all about giving a place a change to redeem itself, so I'm sure I'll be making a return visit in the near future. For now though, 9DNH remains my #1.

My husband and his friend really like Lee's. I was underwhelmed by the authentic. But I like my americanized oriental pearl for $10 so what do I know?

Gonna have to try this 9 Dragon. Never heard of it and normally BR sucks for Chinese food.

Made the drive out to Lee’s Asian fusion and it def. is worth a drive. They have a menu book with pics of the food which was pretty sweet.
The place is extremely clean. And the service was excellent. They actually catered to toddlers very well.
The scallion cakes were awesome for an app. The dip is so good. She said many people request to go cups of it. I think this was my favorite thing.
I got the shrimp pad Thai and it was pretty good. SO got Mango chicken dish and it tasted pretty good.
Watson pretty lucky to have that lil gem.
