Is this place called "House of Lee," or "California Bowl," or both? The website says the Old Market location is closed, so maybe my experience a few weeks ago was all a dream. A dream in which I patronize a dingy Chinese food diner and emerge feeling... satisfied.
I've passed this place a bunch of times and was sure it would absolutely, positively suck. There's nothing more I can really say. Thought it was gonna suck, and it was actually pretty good. Next.

If you haven't seen this TED talk on the origin of Americanized Chinese cuisine, there are worse ways you could spend 15 minutes:
I was pretty upset when House of Lee closed at this location. It's some of the best cheap chinese food I've had in Omaha. They have another restaurant at 5446 N 90th St, but I've never been there, so not sure it's the exact same. I'm going to try it soon though, because they make the best General Tso's Chicken that I've had in Omaha.
