Omsom reviews and discussion

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.

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.

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!

Omsom's packets are packed with bold, authentic flavors that make it so easy to whip up high-quality Asian dishes without needing a ton of specialty ingredients. It takes the guesswork out of getting the flavor right, and everything I’ve made with them has turned out delicious. They’re perfect for busy nights when I want something quick but still crave something homemade and flavorful.

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.

OBSESSED! I kept getting ads for these and never paid them any mind. But after I saw an ad talking about how cooking Asian food often requires you to hunt down specific ingredients that you might not use otherwise (thus leaving you with a bottle of a sauce you use exclusively for one recipe), Omson sold itself to me. I bought the yuzu miso sauce to make a Japchae noodle (that I have struggled to make from scratch in the past) and it was perfect! The taste and flavor were there, the sizing was just the right amount and I found the recipe I used online (from the Omsom website) to be clear and direct. I can't wait to try the other flavor I purchased! Also -- I bought these at Whole Foods for $3.99 a pack (opposed to 3 for a kit online for $12 before shipping). I recommend that you go to Whole Foods to grab the one pack to skip the shipping and try without committing to a 3 pack!

I've been wanting to try Omsom for a while, so I was ecstatic to find their stuff locally at a new independent home goods store in my neighborhood. I got the spicy bulgogi starter pack, which includes three sauce packets and a small booklet of recipes. I followed a recipe on the Omsom site for Korean spicy tofu, and I was incredibly impressed by how well it came out and how fast it was to make.

Super yummy! I bought Omsom ramen on a trip to Whole Foods. The Soy Garlic flavor was super good, I just wish it had a bit more flavor!

A+ for home cooks exploring different Asian cuisines, but even if you normally cook things like larb at home (like myself), this is a very quick meal option and cuts down prep time! I would say only the filipino sisig was new for me to cook, but I was familiar with all the other dishes.

I cooked these garlic black pepper noodles in the microwave and the process was super easy. Noodles in water in microwave, strain, and mix in sauce! The texture of the noodles was amazing and the sauce was really rich and nice. For an easy microwaveable dish, you really can’t go wrong on this. $4.99 at Whole Foods, I believe packaging says it is 2 servings worth but I feel like I could probably eat it all if hungry :-)

So far I've only tried the Japanese Yuzu Misoyaki starter, but I am obsessed with it. My salmon comes out perfectly every time I use it. It's easy to use and the directions and pairing suggestions are great. I also love the bright, fun packaging. Their social media, newsletter, and marketing are all great and really convey their brand story and values very well.

Such delicious products I tried the noodles first and then the sauces all of the things I’ve tried have super delicious flavor profiles and I will definitely be buying more. So glad I discovered this brand

Got a noodle packet at Whole Foods. It was super easy to make and the flavor was good. Slightly salty.

Love the taste of Omsom starters. I haven't come across one I haven't liked but am a huge fan of the Yuzu Miso Glaze.

Good flavors, pretty true to the actual Asian flavors they purport to be, which is nice and a bit rare these days. However, you're paying up the wazoo for convenience. It's a nice stepping stone to figuring out how to make these sauces yourself (which actually isn;'t hard to do if you care to step into an asian supermarket)

I liked the sauces a lot but didn’t find the noodle alone nourishing enough. Would prepare to buy the sauce with directions on how to make a full dish.

I have tried several of the noodle flavors and they are all delicious! Easy to prepare and add whatever I have in my fridge to make it a little healthier.

Love the Vietnamese lemongrass sauce. Great marinate and very flavorful. Didn't find the other flavors as tasty. Definitely a good shortcut for a meal, but I didn't end up buying again. Expensive compared to other stirfry sauces.
