OmeeJ2, the most perfect place on this planet. When we walked in to test this Asian bowl place out after track one day, we didn’t know that our lives would be changed forever. Now our go-to after track, when studying for psych, or anytime we want food, the walls of OmeeJ2 have become a second home.
Sophia’s order: Rice, chicken, grilled onions, cucumbers, mango, tomatoes, spicy mayo
Although the workers always scoff at my basic order, the perfect combination of all these ingredients mixes wonderfully to form the ideal bowl. The chicken is maybe the best item Omeej2 offers. Mixed with the juicy mango, crunchy cucumber, satiating tomato, and topped with a perfect layer of spicy mayo to finish the bowl off, this simple yet delicious bowl is always my go-to craving after literally anything.
Sadie’s order: Half white rice, half spring mix, 2x grilled chicken, grilled vegetables, 2x cucumbers, 2x edamame, carrots and daikon, light drizzle of spicy mayo and lemon dill. This order, which I’ve mixed and meddled with to curate the ultimate bowl, genuinely cures all the worries in my life. Everything I could ever crave places itself into the constantly-changing bowls at OmeeJ2, which I can now consider myself a regular at. My order curates a perfect balance of protein, carbs, vegetable freshness and spicy, tangy, sauces, with a deliciously crunchy flair of the carrots and daikon. While I enjoy the simplicity of “less is more” on my personal bowl, I suggest you try the wide variety of toppings to perfect your own order!
