Omsom reviews and discussion

I gifted an Omsom sampler to a friend who loves to cook and eat and it was such a hit! The dish starters really do create delicious meals, and this is just such a cool brand -- in terms of its founders, its messaging, etc. -- that I really feel excited about supporting. (Also, the samplers make an amazing gift, because the packaging is so colorful and fun!)

I really really wanted to love this. I thought the yuzu misoyaki was overwhelmingly sweet and the larb just tasted like fish sauce and fell flat. Also, if you have a super sensitive nose or have a poorly ventilated kitchen, the larb/lemongrass starters may not be for you (it tastes ok but very funky smelling).

Super easy to use and delicious! I would never be able to cook Asian dishes on my own but Omsom makes that possible for me.

Omsom is delicious and I love what the brand stands for. The products are incredibly versatile - be sure to check out the 'second menu' for creative ways to use the products.

I love everything about Omsom. From the founder stories and their relationship to food to the partnership with other restaurant mainstays, the brand feels like a party in your pantry. I can turn a bland piece of protein into something exciting and also learn more about another culture.

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 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.

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

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

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 enjoyed these noodles, they were super easy to make and didn’t take much time or effort. I guess I wish I added veggies or something with it. For me, the portion was big and I probably could’ve split it over 2 meals. The chili sesame definitely had a kick to it

I love Omsom and have been using their sauces for the last two years. I was excited to see they launched the saucy noodles, and they they’re available in store at Whole Foods. I bought two of the Coconut Lemongrass. While they make a quick meal when hot (perfect for when I don’t plan ahead), I made an alternate recipe from their site that I liked even more - noodle salad (the sauce is the dressing) - which requires a little more planning. Love that they give alternate way to use their products. The package is two servings…which seems totally unrealistic, it’s definitely one (unless you’re loading it with other stuff).

I tried the Omsom Saucy Noodles (got it through Thing Testing’s BOGO deal). I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. As someone who loves Asian food, it was very tasty! I added my own toppings to make the meal more hearty. I have also tried Momofuku’s noodles which honestly have a way worse flavor so that was the direct comparison I was comparing against. Docked off a star because it is pretty expensive per box and I am not sure I would pay full price

The Yuzu Miso glaze is fire

These are yummy, great for a quick and easy small meal- not really filling enough for a full meal imo since there's no protein. Add in egg to make up for it! The noodles are great!

Great flavor profiles! The spicy is spicy so be careful if you’re not into spice. The noodles are a single serving, but SO amazing!! I love the soy garlic & the coconut lemongrass curry was fragrant with layers of flavor. Their individual sauce packets take your meals to the next level and really help in the busy nights or meal prepping!

I love being able to access these Asian/Southeast Asian flavors at home! Knowing the amount of effort needed to make some of these sauces, these packet make it oh so easy and accessible! Love that this introduces a different set of flavors than the usual teriyaki or etc.
