Reviews mention

  • Bold, aromatic flavor sauces
  • Chewy, satisfying noodle texture
  • Clear, helpful recipe cards
  • Versatile across proteins and vegetables
  • Inconsistent flavor depth across varieties
  • Thin, watery sauce consistency
  • Small, skimpy portion sizes
  • Wasteful single-use packet packaging

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.

  • The taste was pretty good. Seems like the sauce was not enough though.

  • Amazing packaging and tasty, but overall wouldn't purchase again. Felt like there wasn't enough sauce and it just kinda was a $7 cup of noodles

  • I've tried a few of their marinades. I was worried they would be too sweet as I find packaged marinades usually are but I feel like they were well balanced. I wish the one with fish sauce went harder on the fish sauce flavor, but like I said these are pretty balanced marinades. Very good for a convenient option before throwing something on the grill.

  • I like the flavor of the sauce and the noodles had a nice chew. I could see myself buying more of these noodles next time I'm grocery shopping. The portion was a bit smaller than I expected, and the sauce is on the saltier side if you don't add any additional protein/veggies in!

  • These noodles are easy to make and super tasty! As the weather gets cooler I crave some noodles with heat and boy do these deliver on flavor!!!

  • I tried one of the samplers and I genuinely loved every recipe. My favorite was the Japanese Miso on eggplant.

  • I love Omsom! Omsom makes my weeknight cooking super easy, fresh and consistent. I love that I can now purchase Omsom at my local grocery store so I never run out or have some on deck to whip up a quick meal. My favorite is the Miso glaze to put over my salmon. 10/10

  • I love the flavors that they offer and it makes cooking so easy and quick. I do think they are a little pricey but I continue to buy them because I know the flavors are better than anything I could do on my own

  • Omsom was a brand I had on my radar for a while now and I finally tried it when I saw their individual sauce packets at Whole Foods! They did not disappoint. Not only do they have a very strong brand identity, the actual product itself packs a punch and is super flavorful. I think this a great way to experience a variety of Asian flavors. Love the messaging beyond the products too!

  • We loved experimenting with these. I think they work best with meat and veg combo. It made boring recipes exciting in one quick step.

    I’d like a bit more written info for each one.

  • Good gift for people who like good flavors but aren't adventurous/confident chefs. Or great for when you don't feel like making an involved recipe. Packaging is nice.

    It's not the most affordable, but I wonder how much it would cost if you were to purchase all of the ingredients individually that go into each sauce.

  • I was blown away by the amount of flavor the small packets contained! The yuzu sauce pack genuinely reset my flavor pallet. It was so easy to use, I love all the different ways you can elevate your meal with them and how quick it is to whip something up.

    Wis it was available in Canada!

  • My fiance got us some Omsom packs for our stockings last year, and they were GREAT! Love the branding, and love the flavor and recipes even more!

  • I LOVE OMSOM! I am not a professional chef, but consider myself a lover of cooking as I live in NYC and cook almost every single night. I am normally not one to use any of the meal plan or pre-cook it for you subscription plans you see all over the internet so trying out these pre-made sauce packets I was excited but hesitant. THEY BLEW ME AWAY! I bought the trio when they were selling at a pop-up grocer and the marketing, branding, packaging to flavor were truly impeccable. Also, the founders have an amazing mission and their social channels is one of the best out there telling the brand's story in an entertaining and educational way for cooking content. 15/10

  • I am not a cook...but i want to be! And this makes the creation of delicious + impressive flavors in my kitchen, possible! Especially during the pandemic, I’ve spent so much more ordering food in, and I’m trying to be better about cooking. These liven up my kitchen with its branding AND flavor!

    I wish these came in jars since i don’t use so much at a time. Only cooking for 1-2 meals at a time!

  • Helmed by two dynamic and smart founders, OMSOM is delicious, fun, and makes it really simple to experiment and learn how to cook Asian dishes.

  • If you want to cook Asian food but find yourself intimidated by the ingredients lists, Omsom is a great place to start. Easy and really delicious meals - they continue to expand their product line, don’t sleep on this brand. You won’t regret it.

  • I shared these noddles with my mom. We both enjoyed them and want to try more flavors soon. We tried the Garlic black pepper noodles which was very flavorful. We also tried the coconut lemongrass noodles. I want to try these again and add some extra things, perhaps a little more salt + a protein and some veggies. But they were a good base and the noodle texture was really nice.

  • Such a cool brand! The saucy noodles are so good for quick dinners

  • Loved the concept of the ready to use sauce packets! Will definitely help spread the use of Asian flavors in households. The individual packets were easy to use and tasted great, but you'll definitely need one pack per serving which makes this a little more expensive than I'm looking to spend for a quick weeknight meal. Would be a great gift for a starter cook though looking to try new flavors!
