Going to make one final order before they close.

I’ve had cumin pork and the garlic sauce eggplant. Anything else I need to try or should I stick with one of the items I’ve already had?

Pretty sure you just get whatever they have left at this point. I pass by there often. Nobody has been since 2019.

Absolutely love this one.

My favorite dish I've ever had there is the Pickled Mustard Greens Fish

Chong Qing Chicken is good, though I think it was too hyped for me

Pot Chicken is really good. It is a slow simmered/stewed chicken dish

I haven't had it, but always wanted to get the Kung Pao Calamari

Lee's Asian Fusion serves a dish that looks like it, if that helps!

I'm in the minority for sure here, but I like the spicy and sour and saucy dishes at Omi more than the popular Chong Qing Chicken and Cumin Pork. I am such a sucker for really sour Chinese food. Its why I liked 9 Dragon Noodle House's hot and sour soup so much.

I’m not a huge “Chinese” food fan but that always hit the spot for me

Appreciate the rec for Lee’s

I've always loved the food, but even ignoring the shite location, the ambiance in there was always awful. I started getting takeout more often than dining in, and then I just kind of stopped doing that as well.

A little sad they are closing, but it has felt inevitable for a long time.

The garlic eggplant at lees is good. I get it often. I like it better than Omi.

You've got good taste, Lady. Garlic eggplant is one of my favorites, as is the mustard greens fish. Had both this last weekend. There isn't much on the chinese menu that isn't good. All the fish dishes are good, garlic shrimp, house pork ribs. And don't sleep on their hot and sour soup. I think it's the best in town. Very sad they are closing.
