Omsom earns strong reviews for delivering bold, easy-to-use Asian sauces and saucy noodles that help home cooks achieve flavorful results fast, with highlights like the Yuzu Misoyaki glaze, Larb, Krapow, and chewy noodle texture. Reviews also surface drawbacks: portions run small, several flavors lack depth or skew watery/overly spicy, sauce-to-noodle ratios feel light, and packaging reads single‑use and wasteful—useful to know if authenticity, intensity, or sustainability are priorities.

I finally tried the box of soy garlic saucy noodles that I had socked away in my pantry for awhile and it made for an easy and tasty lunch. The noodles were delightfully chewy, and the sauce clung to them nicely. I topped with a fried egg for a little more substance. My only critique is that I think the serving size of 2 is not very realistic - I ate the full box and it felt like the correct amount for a meal.

I’ve tried the easy noodle meals and they are a quick and tasty lunch or dinner that can be dressed up! The flavors are great and I didn’t need to add anything additional. However it was on the spicier side!
Love the branding, the story, & the product itself. Makes it really fun and easy to make dishes I love + dishes I haven't tried before without buying a ton of ingredients I won't use as often.

Sometimes a little unsure how much sauce is enough for how much protein - especially if you're using alternative proteins. Also wish that the packaging didn't feel so single use / wasteful.
I've heard about this brand for a while (their branding is gorgeous) and have long wanted to try some of their product, but have put it off because I cannot really handle spicy food and I knew many of their sauces are spicy. However, when I got a BOGO for their new noodle kits from Thingtesting, I decided to give them a shot! I got a box of Soy Garlic noodles and a box of Garlic Black Pepper as those were the least spicy out of the options I saw. Soy garlic felt like a better one to try first because the flavors seem more up my alley. Cooking them on my stovetop was a breeze, and it was basically like cooking any dried noodles and afterward adding the sauce. I also made a fried egg to go on top. The one thing I do have to say about the process was that the noodles were a lot longer than I expected, making them a challenge to transfer from my cooking pan to the bowl I was using to eat them in. I am sure this is intentional, as we see the creators pulling the noodles with chopsticks and showing their length in a picture on a box. But I did not notice that until inspecting the box later, so the length was a surprise to me! Now onto the taste. The flavor overall was not super strong. I get that this is only one on the chili pepper spice scale out of three, but it felt like it was lacking in flavors other than peppercorn. Speaking of which, if you told me this was the Garlic Black Pepper flavor, I would have believed you. I could immediately tell that the kick in this recipe was from peppercorn, and while there was a bit of other flavoring there, it was not as strong. I was also surprised to learn this was meant to be two servings, as I had no issues eating all of it in one go. All that being said, I definitely did enjoy these noodles. It was simple to make and did not have any of that artificial feeling that I get when eating cheap instant ramen. I would just want a bit more flavor other than peppercorn with this sauce. It is also pretty expensive compared to other instant noodles, but it is clear that this is a product of quality.
