Our Story

Long before bone broth was a "wellness category," it was just dinner. Across China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, and Thailand, a stockpot was simply how you cared for people. For James, like a lot of those far from home, it wasn't a trend. It was comfort.

So he left a career in tech for the Culinary Institute of America, then got to work in his home kitchen in San Francisco. Cooking for friends, refining recipes, batch after batch, with one goal: make real Asian food genuinely easy and good, without losing what made it worth eating in the first place. That's OMU.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's actually in the bowl?

Each pack holds 13oz of real liquid bone broth. Beef-forward, built on three proteins, slow-simmered with real vegetables, fruit, kombu, and shiitake. Inside, you'll find real pieces of grass-fed American short rib, braised until chopstick-tender, and air-dried Kansui noodles. No flavor packet. No mystery cuts.

Why OMU instead of take-out or traditional instant noodles?

Takeout is $20-35 + fees and tips, only as clean as whatever's in the kitchen that day. Instant ramen is cheap and easy, but you feel it afterward. OMU comes with real bone broth, real beef, and real Kansui noodles like at the restaurant. Yet shelf-stable and ready in 5 minutes like instant noodles. Same craving, none of the trade-offs.

How do I prepare it?

Heat for 5 minutes in the microwave or on the stove. No water needed. That's it.

Add everything to a bowl or small pot and heat. 5 minutes in the microwave or on the stove. No added water, no draining. That's it.

Why does OMU cost $12.99?

Because real ingredients cost what they cost. Quality American beef, bone broth simmered for hours, gourmet noodles, lasts a year with no preservatives. A proper meal, far less than take-out, a lot more than instant ramen, because OMU is neither.

When will my order arrive?

OMU is pre-order only right now, first batch ships early September 2026.

Do you offer wholesale?

Yes. We'd love to get OMU onto your shelves. Reach out at info@omu.food, we'd love to hear from you.
