I've tried two of their noodle flavors. The portion sizes were small and the flavors were very bland, nothing as promised on the packaging. I was gifted the product and would not buy it with my own money. I do like the branding of the products.

They changed the recipe for the Larb Gai a while back. It used to be my favorite and a very easy way to make it at home without having to buy lots of ingredients you don’t generally use. Still good but doesn’t come with the toasted rice anymore

Love this brand! I've been buying their sauces regularly for years - obsessed with how easy it is to make really flavourful Asian food with like... no effort. They have plenty of recipes if you're feeling fancy but I've also used some of these as basically a stir-fry sauce on low-energy days and it's still poppin. These will for sure stay in my regular rotation, especially now that you can get individual packets at Whole Foods without having to commit to a whole box.

The noodles are a little bumpy.

The packets make them easy to store and use. The sauces are really powerful -as in they pack a punch of flavor- and sometimes I've thinned them with water or stock so their flavor don't overpower the food.

Perfectly portioned and ready to go, these single-serve packets eliminate the need for measuring or guessing, making it a breeze to use.

Say goodbye to the hassle of extracting every last bit from the bottle - this pump dispenser makes it a breeze!

The individual packets are so convenient. No measuring or guesswork required.

These sauces truly are a game changer! They make cooking so easy and tasty, and I love how authentic they taste. I used them in a stir-fry, and it was a hit!

White people trying to make asian-fusion food. I had yuzu miso glaze. NO YUZU. NO MISO. just tastes like generic soy, sugar, and maybe some sesame oil. Plus its ultra sweet. I don't even know what I am eating. Definitely not recommended especially with this price tag. Really disappointing

I cook at home quite often, and Omsom packets are one of my favorite innovations in recent memory. The sauce packets all taste great (Larb is my favorite, though is you're sensitive to fish sauce / oyster sauce be mindful of the smell) and they're SO customizable-- I've had them with ground turkey, chicken, tofu, salmon, beef, and more. I recently tried the Garlic Black Pepper Saucy Noodles too and found it to be an easy and delicious meal-- just added some steamed veggies and called it a day.

The pump dispenser is a game-changer: effortless dispensing down to the very last drop!

decent but honestly the flavor wasn't as savory or complex as i'd hoped it'd be. the noodle texture was great though and the packaging is cute af

I tried their Omsom Noodles. Found the noodles itself to be good with a nice texture, BUT the sauce is horrendous - I couldn't finish it. It tasted super sour that it gave me acid reflux. The Chili Sesame one tasted like spicy white vinegar. The Soy Garlic one tasted like raw garlic + white vinegar with no taste of soy at all. It seems like they used Italian salad dressing as the base for all their sauces and none of the sauces are remotely inspired by "Chinese" or "Thai" or whatever they put on the packaging. Very disappointed and sad to see that this product is so widely available, yet the taste profile is so bad. All I can say is that if you think this is "authentic" or "high quality asian dish", you are being scammed big time.

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.

I've been wanting to try Omsom forever but was a little hesitant to take the leap on ordering it online. But, I happened to be in Target looking for something completely different and saw it on the shelf. So you know I did a little impulse buy. I grabbed the miso salmon glaze because I needed something to change up my dinner rotation. It was super flavorful and easy to use. UPDATE: Tried their saucy noodle kit and absolutely loved it! Made a great base for a fun meal with the fam. Super tasty and just the right amount of spicy kick. Definitely picking this up again!

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.

Omsom nails everything about their product experience. Amazing flavor, easy-to-follow instructions and plenty of options. Steezy brand vibes too, I keep the product out in the open on my bar cart because it looks great.
