Omsom is a new Asian pantry staple that makes cooking your favorite Asian dishes with uncompromised flavors and hard-to-find ingredients possible in any home kitchen. Vanessa and Kim Pham, first-generation Vietnamese-American sisters, started Omsom to reclaim the cultural integrity of Asian cuisines that are often diluted in the mainstream grocery aisle. Each of their rip-and-pour starter packets (which are to be paired with fresh protein and vegetables that the consumer purchases separately) include all the specialty sauces, aromatics, citruses, and oils that are the foundation of Asian dishes. The Pham sisters work with acclaimed chefs who are lauded in the industry and have connections to these dishes that run deep.

In May 2020 they launched their Southeast Asian line with Vietnamese Lemongrass BBQ from Chef Jimmy Ly of Madame Vo; Filipino Sisig from Owner Nicole Ponseca of Jeepney; Thai Larb from Chefs Chat & Ohm Suansilphong of Fish Cheeks and in October 2020 they launched their East Asian line with Korean Spicy Bulgogi from Chef Deuki Hong of Sunday Bird; Japanese Yuzu Misoyaki from Chef Maiko Kyogoku of Bessou; and Chinese Mala Salad with Amelie Kang of MaLa project.

In addition, they have also released limited edition products in partnership with Disney to celebrate Raya and the Last Dragon as well as Pepper Teigen to destigmatize MSG (monosodium glutamate) and debunk the harmful stereotypes associated with the ingredient. Omsom was included in The Kitchn’s 2021 Kitchen Essentials Grocery list as a Best in the “Best in Spreads & Sauces'' category; NOSH Best of 2020 award for “Best New Product” and “Best Packaging Design,” and is a Semi-Finalist for The Art of Plating’s Rising Talent competition.
