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 packaging branding is amazing! Noodles and sauce taste good but I couldn't believe their was only one packet in the entire box. It feels very unsustainable. If they expand their packaging I would buy again. The flavors are really bold, have a lot of layers, very umami.
I bought this at Whole Foods and was excited to support a small business like this. I made the soy garlic noodles for myself and my boyfriend as a late night snack but couldn’t get past the odd flavor. It didn’t taste significantly of either soy or garlic and left and odd aftertaste. These noodles may have tastes less impressive to us since we have recently gotten into mi goreng noodles which to me have twice the flavor and I prefer the smaller noodles to the wide noodles. Together we didn’t finish the package.
I was excited to see these individually packed at Whole Foods. I've used twice for stir fry and was surprised by how spicy they were! Definitely flavor packed and I should have used more veggies. Looking forward to trying their noodles!
I was gifted a variety pack of these cooking kits by my friend and loved everything I tried!! These are so wonderful and love that they provide recipes to make something more akin to the traditional meal you'd find this flavor, or gives you the option to adapt to your protein of choice. These are great to have on hand for a quick & delicious meal.

LOVE Omsom! All of the seasonings are delicious. I’ve tried the South East Asian sauce bundle. They’re a little expensive, but they’re nice for once in a while.
The concept of OmSom is really really really cool. From the packaging to the flavors they offer (their new noodles look dope), the entire concept is really neat! I have purchased twice, and tried two different flavors.

I found myself needing to add different sauces and seasonings on top of this. Sometimes they lack flavor.
I love omsom sauces! The yuzu miso glaze is my absolute favorite, and has become a pantry staple in my house. They make it so easy to cook a delicious meal, no matter what protein or veggie you have on hand. Also love that they’re not loaded with added sugars.

I did have one flavor, the larb, that was SUPER spicy! I like and can handle spice, but definitely needed a warning for that one lol.
A little pricey, but their flavors are to die for. I get so many recipe ideas from their IG too.
Bought this to stuff my partner's stocking. Went with the larb b/c I know she loves that dish and honestly the thing that got me was the website. Love the video content and 'virtual assistant.' They looks great (packaging-wise) so is a great gift but also delivers on flavor and time (!!). I knew they'd be fast but didn't realize how 'all-in-one' the experience is. Highly recommend.
I bought this as a white elephant gift and it was soo popular! I bought one for my apartment as well and it has been sooo easy to spice up otherwise really boring dishes. It's handy to have in the pantry for days when you just don't know what to cook.

More non-spicy options please! Would be cool if Omsom started coming out with soup bases too.
The packaging of the product is great, but the overall flavors are pretty similar. We've used these a few times but they've been stacking dust at our house after a couple of weeks.
Great flavors and convenient packaging (they now sell single packs at Whole Foods). Easy to integrate these seasonings into simple everyday recipes, like chicken or fish.

yes! their chicken larb is my favorite! it’s such an easy, fast, and delicious meal. the package design is so fun that it makes a really great gift for your more practical friends.
I LOVED omsom packets. They help you make a tasty and flavorful meal in minimal steps. I also got this for my father-in-law as a gift and it was a complete hit! He loved that all he had to do was cook some meat and add the flavor pack, instant meal and I still hear about how good they were a year later.

Wish they had more flavors and additional recipes online.
We moved to an area greatly lacking in authentic Asian cuisine. These are INCREDIBLE. Not only do we finally have delicious Asian food again but our restaurant spending has massively decreased!
Love love love. Great design, even better flavours.
Super easy to use and created unbelievably tasty dishes.

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.
