A good soup makes everything better

The kind our moms used to make. The kind at noodle shops from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Broth that took hours. Beef that fell apart at the touch of a chopstick.

Then life gets faster, and the closest thing is a powder packet and hot water.

That gap between the bowl you know and the bowl you can actually have at home is what OMU was made to close.

Broth that took hours. Beef that fell apart at the touch of a chopstick.

The trouble is… the real kind takes hours to make and the instant kind is a powder packet dissolved in hot water.

When you want 24g protein, 4g carbs...

as a meal, not a shake

When the meeting became 3 meetings...

and you need a big hug

When you opened the app...

saw the fees, and closed the app

When you want trees and a warm bowl...

but only have a camp fire

Born in a San Francisco home kitchen. Trained at the CIA…

I spent years in tech. Building fast, scaling faster. Then one day I asked myself a simpler question: what really matters?

Not software. Not more optimization. A delicious meal. The people we love. The soup on mom's stove, waiting for you to come home.

So I left tech, went to culinary school, and ran a few hundred test batches in our San Francisco kitchen – trying to make that bowl real, without giving up the convenience. That's OMU.

FAQs

Good questions!

Is it actually bone broth?

Yes, each OMU package comes with 1 portion of liquid bone broth. 3 proteins: beef, chicken, pork, slow-cooked with real vegetables, fruits, and Kombu. Just heat it up in the microwave or stovetop. No water or refrigeration needed.

What makes OMU different from other instant noodles?

Most instant noodles start with an engineered flavor system and work backward. We start with real ingredients in a real pot then figure out how to put it in a packet that's ready instantly. The kind of food you'd cook for yourself and kids, if you had half a day and a stockpot.

What kind of beef is it?

Grass-fed American beef short ribs. Generous cuts, braised to perfect tenderness, then sealed in high heat for shelf stability with zero preservatives.

What are alkaline noodles?

Noodles made with Kansui, a mineral alkaline that Japanese and Chinese noodle shops have used for about a thousand years. It's what gives them the chew and the spring. We steam ours, then air-dry them. We never fry them.
