om sòm
a Vietnamese phrase meaning noisy, rambunctious, riotous. Most often used by parents (hint: ours) to scold unruly, raucous children in the back of the car.
We started Omsom to bring proud, loud Asian flavors to your fingertips any day of the week.
No more diluted dishes, no more cultural compromise. Real deal Asian cuisine and communities are too damn delicious to deny.
THE OMSOM FOUNDING STORY
Omsom was started by Vanessa + Kim Pham, sisters + daughters of Vietnamese refugees. Born in 2020, Omsom is a proud + loud Asian food brand set on reclaiming + celebrating the multitudes in Asian flavors + stories.
After 4+ years and our products expanding into over 2000 stores, Omsom was acquired by DayDayCook in June 2024. We’re excited to join forces with the DDC team, joining their portfolio of fellow Asian American-founded brands like Nona Lim and Yai’s Thai.
Onwards + upwards!
Meet the chef tastemakers who drive our proud, loud flavors!
