Yelp Review 2023 #137:
I first tried Oming's at their food truck at UNLV and after that I'd hire Salome (Oming) to cater our work events years ago since a good percentage of our company is Filipino. She's a pleasure doing business with and I've always loved her bowls. She opened her first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Blue Diamond. And now, a second location in North Las Vegas.
Oming's bowls are delicious and filling. You can get chicken or pork belly and it comes with rice and lumpia. Over the years, her food has been consistently delicious and portions have been the same. She added more menu items from her food truck days. Oming's has lechon, sisig, tapsilog, losilog, tosilog, Pancit, crispy pata, halo-halo, boba, etc.
And the service? Typical Filipino: always happy, smiling, and friendly especially if they know you're Filipino and would reciprocate the vibe. Don't worry, non-Filipinos! They'll still be nice and friendly but they won't be extra if they see you're more serious.
Pork Belly Bowl:
Filipino BBQ'ed pork belly (marinated in ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, an acid) served with white rice, and lumpia and sauce. I normally have to eat this as a meal and a half because it's a big portion. Delicious and filling. 5/5
Lechon:
Sold by the pound on WEEKENDS only. Crispy skin, juicy and flavorful meat. It comes with dipping sauce. If you start getting dizzy from the cholesterol, you can reheat this in the air fryer. 5/5
Tapsilog:
Part of their all-day breakfast menu. You get beef tapa (TAP), siningag aka garlic rice (SI), and itlog (LOG) which is egg in Filipino. Garlicky and flavorful beef pieces that you can dip in vinegar to eat with a piece of egg and a spoonful of rice. 5/5
Sisig:
So, the real version of sisig uses the pig's face, ears and snout - and if you're reading this and got turned off, it's better that you find out now than ordering this and regretting life like the first time I had real sisig back in the summer of 2000 when I was in the Philippines. The version I like uses finely chopped fried pork belly. They both have the sand flavors but the texture is different. I'll skip rating this.
You can also get chicken instead of the pork belly for your rice bowl. Their bowls can either be with rice and lumpia or half rice, half Pancit and lumpia. Get the latter if you want a little bit of everything. Special shout-out to the kuya behind the counter who was helping us 2 weeks ago - a man who clearly loves life and has a great sense of humor!
