Chicken popcorn 1/5 stars. The chicken taste old & dried. You can taste the after taste of old oil in it. I end up throwing it away.
Eliza L.

I came in here on a Sunday afternoon. I walk up to the front counter. The cashier greeted me when I walked up & took my order. She was nice & the process was quick & simple. I order the chicken popcorn. Sat in a waiting area in the front. The order took about 10-15 mins as there were people already there before me. Now comes the tasting part of the chicken popcorn. It was not good. It was dry and did not seem fresh. I can taste the oil in the chicken, it seems to be old oil. Even using the chicken sauce they provided still gave me a bad after math taste that linger. I end up not finishing it and throwing it away. I was really disappointed because I really want to like the place and continue to come back. Chicken popcorn is a simple appetizer to make. It should not taste this way. Not sure if I want to come back and try other items.

the picture shows a grilled chicken banh mi & beef bulgogi banh mi w/ some garlic salt fries. the fries could definitely be fried a bit more but the sandwiches were both delicious!! the chicken was juicy and the bread was perfect - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. the bulgogi was sweet and tender - not overly sweet though. service was quick and the shop has enough seating for about 10 small families of (2-4)!? giving four stars instead of 5 because of the cleanliness of the tables and seats - it is self clean after you eat so the tables were super sticky .. we had to clean it with hand sanitizer ourselves prior to sitting down.

Beef bulgogi banh mi and took the fried egg from the rice plate

Really enjoyed our food from here. We tried the fried egg rolls, the popcorn chicken and rice dish and beef bulgogi banh mi with extra aioli. All of the food was delicious-5/5 on all accounts! My son barely let me try a bite of the egg roll!! We also tried their lychee drink w rainbow jelly and Viet iced tea. The tea was too strong for me but it's my first time having it. The lychee drink was really refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The popcorn chicken had a nice flavor profile of salt pepper and some briny taste! Super crispy and flavorful. The beef bulgogi sandwich was also great w tender meats and lots of fresh veggies, the bread was crunchy and fresh. All of our food was brought to our table within 10 min of us ordering at the counter. 10/10 would recommend for your banh-mi cravings!

Nice clean cute interior, employees were masked. I ordered fries (good spicy Mayo dipping sauce) , viet fish sauce wings (very yummy, on the sweet gooey side ) , coffee frappe (perfectly made-- creamy and yummy), and lychee kumquat tea with 25% sugar (still sweet but refreshing). They also have Vietnamese sandwiches and a limited appetizer menu (fried squid, popcorn chicken...etc). In harvest green area close to grand Pkwy.

Combo Banh mi
Angelica C.

First time trying Om Nom Cafe! I got the combo Banh mi and really enjoyed it. The bread was toasted perfectly and the pork was savory and flavorful! I also had an original milk tea with boba that was pretty good. Not the best, but it could be because it was watered down after it was brought home. Still, a solid spot if you want some tasty Vietnamese sandwiches!

Bulgogi Banh mi, spicy tamarind wings, espresso brown sugar with oat milk
Natalia M.

Clean and casual vibe. Friendly customer service. -Pho broth was flavorful, would definitely recommend 8/10 -Tamarind wings: Flavor was amazing, very similar to twin peaks spicy Thai chili wings. The wings were not crispy and definitely could have been cooked longer 4/10 -bulgogi bang mi: meat was cooked well, good flavor, classic Banh mi. -espresso brown sugar oatmilk: I got it with less sugar than the regular which made it just the right level of sweetness. Definitely better than Starbucks, would get again! 9/10

Interior still the same as last year but with less tables and more spread out due to pandemic.

Overall great banh mi and other selections for being in Richmond so no need to drive to Chinatown (10-15 minutes away). Drinks are always delicious. My go to are always their kumquat with tea and boba. Boba are cooked well where it's still chewy and not stuck to your teeth. Ambience is always clean and simple for dining in or just chilling with family/friends. Every time I come here, I always see the owner. Not sure if she ever gets a day off! Prices are reasonable, considering the locations and not that many competitors in the area (as of right now). The only thing I dislike is the drinks don't have that typical plastic seal on top so when I do order a lot to-go, it can get quite messy with the big open on the top of each drinks.

Grilled Pork Banh Mi
Alyssa T.

For someone that's used to eating at Don's on bellaire, this place is not bad for the area! I love how they cut the ends of their banh mi so it's not hard and easier to eat. The meat is flavorful and bread is the perfect crisp. As for the bulgogi fries, I like how have some sauce on the side in the case you would like to dip. Fries are nice and thick. The only downside is that there was not that much meat, especially when you're paying $7+ for it. The staff was kind and attentive, I would come by again when I'm craving banh mi and not wanting to go to bellaire.

Delicious the best BahMi in Richmond Texas so far! The popcorn chicken is so delicious as well and the fries too love it

Passion fruit green tea and jasmine green milk tea
JaQuille C.

Still love this place. Just here to add the the fried egg rolls are superb and so is the Thai tea (go ahead and get the big one, you're welcome). Again, the best banh mi I've ever had. Super filling, always kore than enough protein. I always ask for extra carrots and aioli. Please stop by and support our Richmond small businesses!

Om Nom Cafe is a delight to the neighborhood since there really isn't a Bahn Mi place located around the Harvest Green/Aliana area of Richmond, TX. Yes, there are Vietnamese restaurants, but not a "Casual, here for a quick bite" kind of place. The space is clean and modern and the service is friendly. The location just opened so they told me both times I came here, that it will take 10 minutes or so to make my sandwich. I'm okay with that, as long as it's good. I'm sure as the place matures, that may change, or it may not. In either case the bahn mi was good. Was it the BEST I ever had? No. IMO that honor goes to Vietwich in Stafford. They USED to be close to this neighborhood but moved away. So for now, we have Om Nom and it's not bad. TRY IT. They also serve bubble teas and such which I have never tried, but they are affordably priced. I need to come back and try the soups which seem to be offered once in a while (off menu). By the way, if they ask if you want to add a fried egg-- just say yes.

Much better streamlined ordering. Go to order here is the Grilled Banh mi and Taro slushee (frozen drink) with Lychee jelly. The quantity is really decent. Could they do rewards on phone number instead of remembering to take the card each time, perhaps?

Grilled pork banh mi, (lack of) seasoned fries, limeade

Grilled pork banh mi was delicious and served on good, crusty bread, but it needs more meat. Seasoned fries were hardly seasoned but came out hot. Loved the limeade. Service was friendly. Will be back.

The people sitting, the lights, the TV showing people in Vietnam(?) making food gives it a really home-like and comfy atmosphere. And now the food. The food here is amazing since the new management. The day I'm writing this, I went with my girlfriend an she got the grilled chicken rice plate while I got the pork rice plate. Amazing. Just wonderful. The white rice is flavorful, the fried egg is cooked to perfection, the pork is a perfect combo of sweet and savory. The drinks are just as amazing as well. You can really taste the tea whenever you order any sort of drink such as milk tea. Overall, if I could be the one giving Michelin star rating, this would definitely cut it. Please come here, it needs more customers !!

Many say that Pho Ben is the top pho spot. I've asked Vietnamese hairdressers, and they recommend…read morePho Ben. While I personally don't think it's the best pho in Houston, it definitely ranks highly. What I like even more are their banh mi sandwiches. They have some of the best banh mis, and they definitely use good quality bread unlike many other places.

Pho Ben has become a popular Sugar Land staple for Vietnamese food, however I believe their quality…read morehas declined in recent years. While they seat and serve even large parties (I've visited with up to 12 people on a regular basis) with impressive speed, the quality of their food simply is not what it used to be. On this most recent visit I ordered a Pork Bahn Mi. The pork had absolute zero char, which I believe is integral to the sweet and savory char-grilled flavor promised in the menu description. As a result, the meat tasted as if it were stewed in an overcrowded pan leading to a rubbery texture. At a previous visit my baguette was also soaked and soggy, as if the pickled vegetables hadn't been drained before being added to the sandwich, then left to sit before service. I used to regularly order their pho, but have moved away from doing so as it tastes very average. On one hand their broth is consistent and does the job, especially if you are in a rush, but on the other hand is has no notable characteristics to speak of. Its aromatic blend doesn't particularly stand out and the broth doesn't have the deep flavor I would expect from Southern-style pho. The staff is always helpful and accommodating to the large parties I visit with. They always look busy, though not in a way that bothers me, and it's easy to see why when you consider the rapid speed that they serve food and clear tables. Overall, Pho Ben does the job for a quick bite of Vietnamese food. Even with larger parties, I've never had to wait longer than ~15 minutes for a table, and once seated, food typically arrives in ~10 minutes. However, due to its declining quality, it has fallen off my list of go-to spots in Sugar Land.
