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.

I asked the manager Ben what would happen if the place was actually full and people were waiting outside (house was half full). He said you could potentially wait 2 HOURS for a pizza. For a pizza, because "everything is house made". I guess the kitchen does not prep before a meal service? Seems excessive for the type of food being offered. I was expecting more along the lines of a 20 minute wait... it took so long, the bakery girl locked me out because they closed. I had to go ask for my order. Seriously, best to pregame or order the meal before. Staff seemed not sincere.

The restaurant is very clean. The bathroom has a code in order to get in which is a different way go. We got bacon cheese burger with tots and hickory burger with fries. I really wanted a fried chicken sandwich but they only have grilled chicken sandwiches. They offered to use chicken tenders but I declined and went with a burger instead. Ketchup is kept cold. I like that. Bacon cheeseburger was fine. The burgers appear to be frozen patties. The bacon was salty and cooked well, not too crispy and not floppy. The lettuce was shredded, could've used more. They put both mayo & mustard on their burgers. The hickory burger was ok. You couldn't really taste the bbq sauce. Tots were cooked extra crispy. Luckily that's how I like them but most customers probably would've preferred less crispy; like my husband. The crinkle fries were also a little too crispy for husband. Not too crispy for me. Overall the meal wasn't bad. It's what you'd expect for a small family grill. Fairly priced for the economy we are in. Two combo burger meals ran us $30.

I honestly didn't think it lived up to the hype. Sorry. It was good but it didn't blow me away as the best chicken salad I've ever had. Nonetheless, I had it with my "Ann's Plate" which is a scoop of chicken salad, fruit salad, and a cup of soup. Its just enough food to get you full, but light enough to not make you FEEL too full. However, that cold avocado soup-- wasn't great. I wanted to like it because it was 100 degrees out and figured on a hot day, it would be cool and refreshing. I think that was the idea behind it but the execution wasn't there. Service-wise, no problems there. The staff is friendly and works really hard, since this place is pretty busy and popular at all times of the day, at seems! Definitely a neighborhood favorite and the locals love it.

It was self seating but the way the rooms are split up, we weren't 100% sure where we were allowed to sit and no one was in the front greeting anyone as they come in so you couldn't really ask questions unless you go to the bar first which was located towards the back. The tables were all dirty so we picked the least dirty table which still had crumbs all over it but we just tried to wipe them away as best as we could. The customers who came in after us picked the table next to us which was dirty as well but their server went and wiped it down for them which was nice. Our server was kind and answered all of our questions and we did inform her it was our first time so she suggested a few appetizers and we started with French Onion Dip. It was TO DIE FOR! The tortilla chips it comes with were perfectly crisped and salted and it hit all the right flavors. The food? Oh my word. The servings are MASSIVE. My husband ordered the Philly cheese steak with a side of onion rings and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken Cobb salad with a side of their Brussel sprouts. The chicken Cobb salad came with two small scoops of chicken salad and it was so light and refreshing and nothing like any other chicken salad I've ever had! Our server brought me a little bit of Parmesan cheese to top off the Brussel sprouts with and it was so good. All in all, the food was a hit! I wish I remembered to try the broccoli and cheese soup so we will be back in the future. Definitely recommend. We don't understand how Sandy McGee's only has a 3.7 rating after trying this spot out!

I had to ask for a knife since my friend and I were sharing our sandwiches. Maybe put more utensils at the self serve table? The place was clean and there's an outdoor area too. The lady was nice and helpful. The way to the bathroom was iffy. The light in the small hallway was out and there's three doors. Left was the actual bathroom, front is a closet (which I didn't know and opened it bc it said "vacant" above the door knob), right is kitchen. Maybe reword them a bit better? I went in the front one bc I thought there was two bathrooms and the front one was slightly open... There's only one bathroom fyi. Now on to the food. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered something small. The honey chicken bite was amazing. It was a toasted bread with crispy and juicy meaty chicken, with a slight hint of honey butter on the inside. The chai was very creamy but I would prefer stronger tea flavors. The patty meal was so good and dense. Also, they were super fast on bringing out our food. It's weird that we were the only ones there because their food was amazing. This place is also halal and there's free parking in the front.

When I pulled up I could see the employees from outside the window. One was just standing near the kitchen, the other was wiping the counter and then proceeded to sweep. I was waiting for closer to the time my order was supposed to be ready which was a few more mins. After a while I decided to head in and see if it was ready since no one seemed to be working on anything and it was empty. The employee put the broom down asked if I was ready to order and then proceeded to the printer once I told him. He immediately grabbed a mixer cup so I asked if he was planning on washing his hands first since he just finished sweeping. He said oh yes ma'am and proceeded. Idk why this is something that we need to remind ppl in the food industry but I am certainly glad I was paying attention. While the milkshake tasted okay idk if I'd return.
