    Citrus-Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Cindy T.

    WOW - I am so impressed with this place! This is in a food haul located in River Street Marketplace with many different little shops. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are excellent. I highly recommend for those folks who want a healthy yet hearty meal for lunch. FAVORITE ITEMS: - Citrus Teriyaki Chicken Bowl: so so flavorful. The ingredients are so fresh and filling. I personally loved the coconut rice for this though I tried both this and the oats. PARKING: I parked in a lot that was pay per hour nearby. PRICE: for around $15, you get such a filling bowl. Definitely a good deal in my opinion. Overall, I'm definitely so impressed with this place and I would recommend it to anyone!

    My Espresso-Rubbed Pork Bowl

    Big Chipotle-style custom bowl guy here, and this place totally delivered. I ordered the pork with the espresso rub and built my bowl with all my favorites; sweet potatoes, pickled onions, cilantro, corn, that delicious black rice, plus a half-salad/half-rice base. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy for how good it tasted. Yummy, satisfying, and absolutely worth a return trip.

    Bowl with chicken and steak

    Service was extremely good. I was disappointed that a lot of items were either out of stock or no longer being done anymore but were listed as options on the glass. I sadly didn't care for any of the sauces that came with the food. Many were spicy and l asked which was the least spicy with the sriracha aioli being suggested as one of the least spicy. I tried it. But wasn't a fan. Also had the dark brown one that didn't have any spicy ingredients that l can recall. But it also wasn't my cup of tea. I did like the edamame hummus. The flavor on the citrus chicken was notably amazing. The rest? Was not as memorable. Nor did l feel for almost $20 was this worth the price. The amount of items l got were small portions. Maybe 7ish bites of steak and chicken. Similar with the veggies. For the same concept l think Cava delivers a bit better. I also want to note that getting here was difficult for my gps. Also, you do have to pay to park. I think it was $2 even though l was just there to park and grab this bowl and drive off. The lot is gravel. Not a deal breaker but not ideal. Also, extremely difficult to find this place if you've never been before. There wasn't a directory once l started walking that l could find. I had to finally go into a few stores to ask a worker where it was. Apparently there is a food cafeteria. I didn't realize this and was disappointed with how difficult it all was and how limited my options were once l was there. This place is take out only because there is no place to sit within Nom. I believe there is seating in the food hall but l didn't venture in further to see for myself. I was on a time crunch to get home. Was it healthy? Yeah. Was it supremely tasty? No. Not unless you like spicy sauces or one brown one that l cant even remember if it was sweet or savory. Prob both really.

    Friendly service and great food! Everything in the bowl is seasoned well and fresh, the sauces are nice but you really don't need them since everything is already flavorful. I got the steak and it was tender and very good!

    Hidden Gem at River Street Marketplace - NOM is the Bomb! I was heading home from San Diego and looking for something good for lunch when I stumbled across the River Street Marketplace and a restaurant called NOM. I originally joked that "NOM is the bomb" -- and it turned out to be just as good as it sounds! It absolutely lived up to the hype. Their build-your-own bowls are fantastic -- everything is made fresh in-house daily, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The owner was a delight to chat with, clearly passionate about what they do. The restaurant hasn't been open long, but I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a healthy, flavorful lunch bowl. At first, I found myself wondering -- is this like Sweetgreen? Tender Greens? Maybe Cava? Nope -- it's none of the above, because it's way better. We tried a few different sauces: Kumquat Ponzu - packed with flavor. Citrus Teriyaki - light, gingery, and so good. The black rice was savory with a touch of sweetness. Between us, we got the Umami Steak Bowl and the Sambal Glazed Tofu Bowl -- both were excellent. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by NOM. You'll leave happy and full, and probably planning your next visit before you've even left the parking lot.

    I'm completely obsessed with tofu, I've been trying to eat more protein so I was craving something like this and drove all the way here for a tofu bowl since I loved it so much last time. It ha so much flavor and I love the sides! Tatianna is so sweet and she made my bowl for me. They were giving out samples of orange chicken which is also healthy so I got some for the BF.

    I spotted this restaurant as we were walking out of the Rodeo River Street Area and told my boyfriend, I have to try this next time. Not sure how I missed it before. Anywho, I loved the Vegan Bowl I got. The food is delicious and pretty. The attendant was helpful and friendly. Everything looks fresh and clean. I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Nice healthy option at rodeo
    Vu N.

    Wanted something healthy at the rodeo food hall and Nom looked like the best option. Like a chipotle style bowls with healthy grains and salads etc. Got a grains and lettuce bowl with marinated chicken. Got some good veggies that were cooked well. I did skip all the sauces to keep my calories down. Overall it was a good healthy option but did get a little pricey. If you add an egg or any extras the price tag will get pretty steep in my opinion

    Fresh, Flavorful, and Healthy! I tried Nom in San Juan Capistrano at the new River Street Market and absolutely loved it! I got the tofu bowl, and since it's a build-your-own concept, I was able to customize it exactly how I wanted. Every topping had so much flavor, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and clean. The sriracha aioli was the perfect touch--not too spicy but packed with flavor, making the bowl even better. Service was fast and everyone was super friendly. My boyfriend tried it too and agreed it was delicious! It's rare to find a place where the food tastes amazing but also feels healthy to eat. I'll definitely be coming back! Not to mention this plaza has tons of cute shops and is located right in the center of downtown SJC and next to historic Los Rios street. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal in such a beautiful area!

    Citrus-Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, Espresso-Rubbed Pork Bowl with chili sauce (spicy and flavorful!), ponzu sauce and mushrooms!
    Robin C.

    This is a hidden gem! Located in the newer food court building near Los Rios in San Juan Capistrano, my teen and I were in search of something healthy, refreshingly and accommodating our dietary restrictions. Nom's food is absolutely delicious! It's bursting with flavors. I don't typically like pickled onions, so I'm not sure what they do with theirs, but they're fantastic! We both got bowls and I discovered that I can have ponzu sauce here as it's made with gluten free soy sauce (homemade here!). The owner is so friendly, and eager to learn (though she's already a wealth of knowledge) about individual dietary needs. I got the coffee rubbed pork, and my teen got the citrus chicken. The egg was fantastic too! We both felt great after eating. Enjoy!!

    Wanted something healthy here and this spot interested me. Service was extremely generous and the server offered I try all three: green, black rice and oats without extra charge. She also recommended the espresso pork that was very unique and seasoned to perfection. The rest of the toppings were very fresh and complimented each other well. Total came out to $20 which is normal for a food market but I would still come again. The inside of this red Rodeo food market has a very community and barn vibe.

    It's located inside the Rodeo River Street food hall. The food quality was excellent. I feel like both the greens and protein were very tasty. Jammy Egg was good. Decent overall portion size.

I also did my usual miso black cod but tonight we added the coconut curry with chicken. I would say I loved the coconut curry, but was not a huge fan of the chicken. I'm not sure if it was because it was deep-fried or if it had skin on it, but either way I do not like deep fried or skin on chicken. I feel like the last time I had it with chicken, it was neither deep-fried or skin on. My preference is just chunks of chicken no skin. Overall, I would say it was a fantastic experience and a fabulous restaurant was fabulous service!

It seemed to have tuna mixed in, which added another layer of flavor and made it much more interesting than the standard macaroni salad you usually get at Hawaiian-style restaurants. It ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal.

I've been to restaurants in LB where the menu items start at $13 and up. such as Nick's, and the food and the ambiance are worth it. I can see why happy hour is busy and why they have a pretty big opening of hours for it, , but it shaves 1-2 dollars off if anything. Everything was like 19 an item. The menu sounds decent but the food didn't live up to the price tag. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps, Pei Wei is better or PF Changs, the shrimp tempura roll, the lobster roll, and the drunken noodles. My husband barely ate. Each dish he said was alright but wasn't worth eating I guess. Again I think it was fine but for the price wasn't worth the value in my opinion. Like the macadamias lobster roll - It sounded way better than it tasted. I've had a similar roll at sota and Houston's and I think there's is slightly lower in price and was better. The ambiance is fun. I can see people meeting here casually for drinks or catch up with friends. The staff are very nice and attentive. Overall I think that the food was mediocre for the price. I highly doubt we'd come back.
