Omma Tofu House

Absolute top notch Korean comfort food. They have a large selection of tofu soups, as well as other “Omma Specials”, or a combination if you have trouble deciding. The food is wonderful and perfectly made with high quality ingredients and tasting delicious. They have 5 side dishes which are all amazing. The staff are friendly and the food court is very clean.

This is inside a food court with 3 Chinese food places, 1 Japanese, and 1 Korean place. Theres also a dried food place, a jeweler, and Coway and a slew of other strip mall stores. There’s plenty of seating to dine in. Theres also plenty free parking. The food is very good, healthy, tasty, fresh, and made to order for spicy levels. You get a raw egg to break into the bubbly hot soup and it cooks. And they add a lot of clams to the tofu soup if you ordered the clam one. This tofu clam soup is the best I’ve had because of the number of clam pieces (even when I ate most of the soup, there were still 10 clam pieces) and the soup base. For $15 for most of the hot tofu soup bowls w side dishes it’s a great meal and deal. I could eat here everyday! I appreciate food that tastes clean and fresh and Oma’s is it. They also give free cold and hot water (barley tea).

I had the beef seafood tofu soup. It was lightly flavored with seafood however the broth was rich. Small portion of beef but a decent amount of tofu.

I had the Spicy Stir-Fried Squid with Rice and it was absolutely delicious! The squid was tender and packed with flavor, perfectly complemented by the rice and side dishes (banchan). The portion was generous, and the spice level was just right for me—enough heat to keep it exciting but not overwhelming. The service was friendly and fast, making for an overall fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors!

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to eat it for lunch today. I ordered the beef tofu soup (13.99). It was ready in about 15 minutes, which felt a bit long but the taste made up for it. I was so excited to eat that I didn't take enough photos. They were generous with the amount of tofu and the soup was very flavorful. It also comes with purple rice which is nice! The rice was the perfect texture and I almost finished the entire bowl. They also gave many side dishes. I really liked the tofu and bean sprouts side. Their prices are reasonable for the portion and taste. It seems like the tofu soup is cheaper here than at other places. I would come back again to try some other dishes!

The best bibimbap can be found surprisingly tucked away in a corner of the food court.

The food was very delicious and the portion size was good. Try Omma's food. The tofu soup was my favorite.

Update on 9/13/22 First time ordering my food to go and thought the transaction couldn’t have been smoother. Ordered via phone, given an ETA of 15 mins and food was ready when I arrived. Not only was the food delicious, but it was packed really well and made it home nice and warm. I liked the banchan packs too. Four delicious sides to go with my jajangmien, beef tofu and kalbi. All really good and perfectly satisfied my cravings. They even followed instructions perfectly as my GF doesn’t like green onions and they were left off of both the kalbi and tofu soup. ———— Probably closer to 4.5 stars, but will round up for the great service and free tea. Food was good, really good especially for a food court, but had sit down restaurant prices so expected a little more. Kalbi ribs had great flavors, but were a bit chewy in parts. Not bad, in fact very good, but just a fact - 4 stars Tofu soup was some of the best we’ve tried - 5 Stars Cold noodles!had a great, but strong beef broth flavor. Not what I am used to, but good. 4.5 stars Banchan - very tasty seaweed salad, potato salad, fish cake, bean sprouts and Kim chi. Non of which my GF liked or can eat. 4 stars for me, 2 stars from her :) Service, free tea and water was 5 stars Prices were fair, but seemed high for a food court, so 4 stars from me there. Overall a great experience and someplace I want to go again. The location and casual seating allowed us to take our dog and explore a little while we waited. Pro tip - food is made to order so expect to wait at least 15-20 mins. Call ahead or explore the are while you wait. There are other restaurants, a watch repair shop, boba and other little shops in the court and in the shopping center to explore while you wait.

I had circled around looking for this place and found out they were locates inside the President Square Food Court. There's plenty of parking, as is shared with the 99 Ranch supermarket. It's located in the back corner. I had called ahead for take-out order. I had ordered the clam tofu soup with the galbi combination. It came with 4 different side dishes in a rectangular container. The galbi was well seasoned and grilled perfectly. . The 4 sides were kimchi, beansprouts, kelp and seasoned fish cake. Everything was well packaged and it did not spill at all. I had asked for medium spice level and they made it perfectly to my taste. And there were enough clams (about 6-8 clams) for every bite. Everything was well-balanced and the ratio of rice to soup was also great. I would highly recommend to try this place out. Thanks Omma Tofu House for a well-prepared meal. I'll be back when I think of spicy clam tofu soup

Kumi reached out to detail how their system works and to offer to remediate the last issue. We appreciate the excellent customer service!

There wasn't a lot of Korean options I could find in SGV for a weekend lunch that included the regular tofu house kind of fare and that wasn't a place that BF and I were not returning to anymore. What caught my eye at Omma Tofu House was their cold buckwheat noodles, a perfect item to order on a hot summer day. I knew I didn't have enough appetite to finish their combo of galbi and cold buckwheat noodles, so I opted for the cold buckwheat noodles only ($14.99). BF ordered the bulgogi and beef tofu soup combo ($22.99). Everything really hit the spot. We've been back multiple times to try other things on their menu like their dolsot bibimbap, jajangmyeon, galbi, spicy pork, spicy grilled chicken, and seafood pancake. All were pretty solid. Our usual go-to now would be a solo order of tofu soup and a tofu soup combo with whatever protein we are in the mood for that meal. They refill banchan, so just bring back the empty plate to the counter for some more. The counter also has a self-serving water/tea machine so you can refill your cup too. Plenty of parking in the plaza. They close at 8 pm for all 7 days of business, so don't stop by too late, as the food court also tends to shut down around that time.

I've actually come here several times now just to try out different things on their menu. The first time I came I ordered a tofu soup because I didn't want to wait at the tofu house next to Burlington which is where I usually go for Korean tofu soup. I can honestly say their tofu soup is way better here. This time I was craving for ddukbokki and cold noodle soup. The ddukbokki was ok, it just wasn't quite flavorful and spicy enough for me, but If you want a mild ddukbokki then you should definitly order from here. Their cold noodle is probably the best in SGV. It was so flavorful and delicious and help beat the heat for me.

4.5 stars This is a no-frills food court Korean place. It is casual, so don't expect anything fancy. I've only gotten their beef tofu, medium spicy, and absolutely love it! For $13.99, it is definitely a good price compared to other Korean restaurants. The beef slices, though small, are lean. The banchan is plentiful and, I believe, are refillable. Service was good and free parking is available on-site. Will definitely back in the future!

I absolutely love the growing inflow of Korean establishments in the general 626 region. This Omma operated tofu house is the perfect addition to a slow flow Chinese food court. While there are 2 tofu restaurants within blocks from this one, this is definitely a faster more economic version in comparison. Food: Great quality for a food court, but not as good as Young Dong (one plaza over). Tofu soup came with 4 mini banchans. Thumbs up overall. Service: Very friendly staff. Environment: The seating and design of the food court is outdated, but parking is plentiful and the place is very centrally placed. Price: Your economical option to a hearty burning hot bowl of tofu soup. Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Environment: 3 Price: 5

Solid Korean food spot in Arcadia. Their dishes are on the pricier side but you can taste the better quality in their meat. My go tos are the beef and seafood soontofu, Kalbi bbq, and naengmyun. I only wish this place opened a tad later on the weekdays!

Small restaurant in a food court. Tofu soup was big and had lots of meat (got the tofu beef). The bulgogi dish amount was small. The bulgogi tastes like it was cooked with butter, which tasted different from other Korean places. Not my style, but maybe others like it. They allow you to get extra banchan without cost if you eat there. Front lady was super nice. Overall good, but not my favorite. Ambience isn't good for a date, but good if you need to quickly eat something.

Came back and ordered the same items: T1 ($14.99) and C7 ($21.99). The wait time was only 15 min, so around the same as last time. The lady who took my order was super nice. It was nice that the prices were still the same and the food court got revamped with new tables, chairs, and floor tiles. Makes it more modern.

Omma Tofu House is located inside a food court in the same plaza as 99 Ranch Arcadia on Duarte. I've frequent SunRight for boba drinks and then went on my way and never really looked inside the food court. I finally made it a point to check out the food court and get cold noodles for dinner to stay cool during the hot summer heat. FOOD Cold Buckwheat Noodle and came with 6 side dishes. The cold noodle bowl was quite big and comes with cucumber, cold boiled egg, a few slices of radishes and meat, crushed ice, and 2 sauces: vinegar and mustard sauces. I don't care for cold meat, but I think for the average thinner and more meat (4-5 slices) would fulfill the meal more. The side dishes were kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli, seaweed, potato salad, and fish cake. Good portion and a little vinegar went a long way. The mustard spice would most likely be the same case, but I didn't add mustard this time. The side dishes were average like most tofu places. A nice thing about this place is, you can ask for more side dishes. SERVICE There was only 1 staff there as I went for early dinner. The staff was friendly and quick to service. PARKING There were plenty of parking spaces in the center's parking lot. At any given time, I've not had to deal with parking issues. PRICE The price is fair for the combo and unlimited side dishes. Food courts are always fun as you can get a buffet style meal or a little add on of some something! I would go back and even try something else on their menu.

Flavor of the tofu soup is the best!!!! I dare to say it's better than BCD tofu house!!! So perfectly spicy and savory!!! I do have to say there is more protein in the BCD tofu house tofu soup but I wouldn't say this place doesn't put enough. My mouth is salivating thinking of how the broth was better in flavor than BCD. I always get medium spicy and it didn't disappoint not too mild not too spicy. I always get the seafood tofu soup and this one comes with head on shrimp, clams and possibly small mussels. Love that it comes with purple rice too such a delicacy!!! As for the bulgogi I was impressed as it wasn't drenched in sauce and looked and tasted freshly stir fried. I'm glad I got white rice on the side as an extra to balance the flavors in my mouth. I was also happy with the selection of choices with the Banchan all deliciously sweet or fermented. It comes with bean sprouts, fish cake, kimchi and I believe seaweed. Highly recommend this spicy tofu soup shop when in the mood for better broth tofu soup!!!

I love the variety and quality of banchan here. Super impressive given the food court setting. If you dine in, you get 5 side dishes vs 4 if doing take out because that's what they can fit into the takeout container. Also they package their takeout really thoughtfully. Tried their soondubu and bulgogi combo. The bulgogi wasn't a large portion so not as worth it to me. The soondubu and bibimbap combo was really good. Also, if you dine in, they give you a raw egg to crack into the soup. Prices are overall fair. Would definitely come back (already have)!

Located in the food hall next to Arcadia 99 Ranch, this place is great when you want Korean tofu soup without driving far. I have not try anything else other than the tofu soup here. It's quick and easy, and definitely hit the spot on a cold night. It comes with some side dishes of banchan, it's not a lot but it's perfect for one. It comes with a bowl of rice, a raw egg and I'm usually stuffed by the time I get 3/4 of the meal. We love coming here whenever hubby craves Shau Mei next door and for me a tofu soup. I've only seen the one cashier lady working here and they provide self serve water. Parking is easy and plenty in the share lot.

Pretty much authentic even though the restaurant is at the food court. Price is very reasonable and their side dish are well prepared. I love their Squid Stonepot Dish.

I came about 30 minutes before closing and still had to wait in line. I ordered an oyster tofu soup with medium amount of spiciness. It took about 15 minutes for my order to arrive. The side dishes were pretty decent aside from the kimchi. The kimchi was on the sour side instead of sweet side. I really liked the inclusion of the fish cakes though. The oyster tofu was spicier than I expected but still tolerable. They were pretty generous with the amount of oysters inside. My only dislike was that the tofu was kind of broken up into smaller chunks. It might have also been caused by me stirring the egg after cracking it in. Overall, it was a decent tofu soup. The one thing that sets it apart from the other surrounding tofu soup places are that the cost is about $1 cheaper than everywhere else. Taste and quantity are pretty similar, but seeing it even just a dollar cheaper makes me feel better.

Big fan of how flavorful and delicious their tofu soup is! I also love their spicy cold buckwheat noodles, sooo yummy!!! If I could eat their food everyday, I probably would.

Rating: 3.5/5 Decided to try this place out bc their food looked pretty good. I got their jjajangmyeon ($14.99+tax), I love that they give you many banchan with your food! I did enjoy the side dishes a lot but their jjajangmyeon was a bit of a disappointment. At first glance, the sauce on top looked like it had the perfect consistency and everything but once I mixed it up, it became more watery and also tasted very bland with just the tiniest hint of black bean sauce. Maybe their noodles were still wet before they added the sauce :( The food also took like 20 minutes to come out, so not too convenient if you're in a hurry. I would come back in the future to try their other options though, hopefully they're better!

Fast service, 99 Ranch Excellent taste and fresh. Such a treat! A go to every time I'm in town.

I loved the combos available!! I'm always so indecisive about what dishes to choose so this was a great option. We ended up going with the Galbi and Cold Buckwheat Noodle combo, which really hit the spot. The Cold Buckwheat Noodle had some banchan dishes on the side included and the noodles were a really nice QQ texture. The broth was flavorful and refreshing which balanced nicely with the salty and tender Galbi on the side. We also got the Spicy Stir-Fried Octopus with Rice. The rice was garlicky, spicy, and SUPER CRISPY. I loved the textures and flavors of the rice and sauce together. My only complaint is that the octopus was a bit tough and may have been over-cooked. But the way that the whole bottom of the rice crisped up made the dish still so worth the try for me!

Food is excellent. Had the Beef Bone Soup and the kalbi/tofu combo. Love that the takeout containers feel sturdy and are quality. They used to have a restaurant in Diamond Bar that closed due to pandemic and chose to reopen closer to where the owners reside. Glad there's some authentic Korean food even though it's in a food court.

It's my go - to place in the summer which I'm craving naeng myun. It's in the food court next to 99 ranch and easy to just grab a table and eat. I go by myself all the time and I have always gotten to the naengmyun and galbi combo. I just can't bring myself to get anything else because it's that good. They give you a good amount of banchan with it, and I think their kimchi is pretty good. One day, I will order something else besides my original naeng myun combo. Until then, this place will be my go-to whenever it's hot and I'm needed a delicious cold dish to cool me down. The woman taking my order at the front is always so nice and kind as well. Also, I really enjoy their kimchi here. Although kimchi varies batch by batch depending on the cabbage or the time it's been fermenting, I've gotten my kimchi the way that I like it the best so my timing must be impeccable haha

Been waiting for a good tofu house to come into the neighborhood and here it is! The soup is so yummy! I normally don't care for Kimchi, but their kimchi is yummy! It tastes like what I've always wanted it to taste like (that preserved vegetable taste)! I got the beef+seafood soup today.

I used to come here often for lunch since it's close to work, it's convenient and fast for what's it for. Lunch is always spot on, no complaints from me and the banchan is good as well as the meal. They have a self-serve water station if you want to quench your thirst until the food is ready. Parking is located in the same plaza as 99 ranch, was able to find parking relatively fast for the time I had for lunch. Food court does get busy was seating isn't bad when I go. Big plus is I can grab a boba drink in the food court :)

I came on a Friday night during the dinner rush and I waited around 30-35 mins for my takeout order. Had the guy been upfront about it, I probably wouldn't have ordered. He is working very hard and definitely running all over the place trying to fulfill all orders. This place seems to be the only place poppin in this food court. I ordered the galbi with pork tofu soup ($29 after tax) and everything was so good! The tofu soup is really big and they give you LOTS of tofu. It's very flavorful and it hit the spot. The galbi was also good and you can taste the charcoal flavor down to the bone. This place didn't leave me feeling thirsty or craving water like most soondobu places. Overall, I would come back again when I want some Korean tofu soup. It would be better if they took phone orders but I don't think they have that availability. They do have online orders but they charge an extra $1 for convenience fee and I'm not about that.

Thank you Yelpies because with your nice reviews I found this place. There were other choices in the President Square Food Court. It is located in a small food court. They had sushi, Chinese food, Boba and a Chinese nut/snack shop. Omma looked the most inviting and appetizing. For a food court restaurant (order and pick up your food at the counter) the banchan was pretty good. Nice variety and very tasty. The only thing was the potato salad was a little too mushy and sweet. I ordered a combo with bulgogi and choice of tofu hot pot. I got the dumpling tofu soup. It was legit served with a raw egg. The workers were very nice and pleasant. Free hot tea and water also.

Wonderful for being in a food court! Easy, fast, convenient, and delicious! Korean food in this predominantly Chinese area is a really nice addition.

The buckwheat noodles are so good here. The soup is tasty and fresh and the noodles are nice and chewy. Very refreshing while we go through this heat wave. The original buckwheat noodles have a nice tang but the spicy buckwheat noodles are my fave. Delicious broth and noodles and the banchan is yummy too. If I had one gripe it would be the slice(s) of meat. The number of slices you get can differ on any day. I am personally not a fan of a slice of cold meat in my meal. But again, that's just me. Seeing as how we are still experiencing a heat wave I will most definitely be back for more refreshing cold noods. Yum!

Got the spicy pork and sundubu combo and it comes with purple rice so that is really nice. The spicy pork was alright, and the sundubu is nice too. But probably because of the name of the place, I was expecting more. It was pretty alright, but flavor (and portion) wise it can't compete with other good ol' places named 'ahjumma/omma/aunts/uncles' out there. The combo price is slightly cheaper though, than other korean restaurants. Maybe because they are located in a food court? I might be wrong.

I think everything was pretty solid. I would definitely come back again! This tofu house is located in a small market plaza and there's also a sunright boba shop. Cold noodles 5/5- usually when I order this dish at other places, the noodles aren't that cold. But this place is literally perfect! There's ice when you get the noodles and I hardly see that anywhere. Bulgogi 4/5- very standard. Doesn't look colorful but the flavor is definitely there. Tofu soup 5/5- definitely a huge plus that the soup came bubbling hot! :) the egg was able to fully cook when added TDRL; tofu house located in plaza and so far the best item on the menu is the cold noodles. You can actually see some ice!!

OMG!! I AM SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS PLACE! Best Tofu soup house in town! Tofu soup was so good and Galbi was delicious. I highly recommend tofu combo here. I will definitely come back again.

I wanted to give credit to the manager working tonight. On more than one occasion, my order wasn't correct. I've always just given them the benefit of the doubt. It's a small business and they're busy. It wasn't until today when the cashier accused us of placing the wrong order through the phone. When we asked to speak with the manager, she was very kind and corrected the order. I'm very appreciative that she took the initiative to make it right. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes korean tofu soup.

Hooray another easy access tofu house in Arcadia!! I was sad when Ktown Express closed because I could always get a satisfying quick fix of soondubu but now Omma has opened in its place. Shout out to my dad for the business photos. First of all, my eyes bulged when I saw the portion size. Kamsahamnida Omma! I got the seafood soondubu and I had a piece of clam, shrimp, or oyster in every spoonful. I got it hot spicy but I think next time I'll kick it up a notch to extra hot spicy as it was more like a medium. You can also customize it to have less green onions or less tofu. They also have a huuuge menu, like the kind you'd find at other sit-down tofu houses like Young Dong. The galbi was good too, although a touch expensive but I guess that's how much it's going for at all Korean restaurants nowadays. I came away a much happier camper than when I went to H-Mart for the same thing. They opened today March 21 in the same food court as Full House. They are apparently going to renovate this food court soon so hopefully more people will come and support all the businesses here. Really excited to see this place take off!!

I ordered the C2. Bulgogi and Seafood Tofu Soup. The total was $27.55. Every thing was tasty. The lady even refilled the side dishes for me. I was impressed with the Seafood Tofu soup, the oysters were pretty good size, they don't short change you like other Tofu restaurants. My only very very small complaint was I just hope the portion of the Bulgogi was a little more, otherwise everything was a very good lunch. This was my second time, last time I had the Bibimbap. By the way they used very very little MSG or none at all.

Order from here often!! Great food! They also let me bring my own containers to minimize microplastic exposure. Thank you

Omma tofu house was a great find! When u don't feel like driving to surawon in k town this is a great alternative. The galbi was flavorful and plenty. The seafood pancake was crispier than most I've tried. The spicy cold noodles were my favorite. So yummy and the portions were huge! The Banchan was delicious too. The only thing I didn't care for was the jjajangmyeon. Although the portion was huge I felt the sauce lacked flavor. Kind of watery? I would def come back for everything else though. So bomb.

Work lunch to go. Tuesday 2023.01.03 Rainy day comfort food. 12:33 pm Very kind lady took my order, asked all follow up questions graciously. 12:44 pm order well packed and ready to go $13.99 for order includes main dish, separate small tray of four assorted pan chan and bowl of rice. $2 for more rice if needed Food was enjoyable. Dumpling soup had about 4 dumplings, ample tofu. Support local businesses!

It's located in the food court of the 99 Ranch plaza. There's a parking lot for that plaza so there was plenty of parking. I tried the clam tofu soup medium spiciness, bulgogi and bibimbap. You can order a la carte or as combo. The bulgogi was ok. I have to say I have had better but the tofu soup and bibimbap were delicious. I would definitely return for those. Staff was very nice. Service was pretty quick but I would suggest calling in ahead of time to limit the wait.

Their combo was very pricy for the amount of food u get. And it tasted exactly what you expect food court food to be. Fine but not memorable.

T they will make you a vegetarian broth if needed. Medium is perfect heat and flavor. My favorite place for sundubu jigae or tofu soup. They are so generous and kind! Would recommend!

Very hard to find but so glad I did! Tucked away into the food court is this gem of a tofu house. I ordered the combination tofu soup and bulgogi and it was really delicious! The tofu soup came out piping out and was really tasty. They give generous amounts of beef too inside the soup. They also give a really good banchan set with all the small side dishes that I love. Just like the name, it really tastes like home cooking. The service is super friendly and seems to be a really nice family owned mom and pop shop. I used to eat at young dong all the time, but I feel like this Omma makes it much better!

Food and service was great. Had the spicy pork plate which was delicious. The restaurant was located in a food court with a lot of room to eat. It was opened on Christmas Day. Thank god as I was starving and not many places were open as well.

My sister is visiting from out of town and had to her here. She tried the spicy cold noodles and loves it. However, we ordered the galbi w/ tofu soup. Compared to before there's less meat in the bone so that's why I'm giving it 4/5 compared to its usual 5/5.

First time ordering my food to go and thought the transaction couldn't have been smoother. Ordered via phone, given an ETA of 15 mins and food was ready when I arrived. Not only was the food delicious, but it was packed really well and made it home nice and warm. I liked the banchan packs too. Four delicious sides to go with my jajangmien, beef tofu and kalbi. All really good and perfectly satisfied my cravings. They even followed instructions perfectly as my GF doesn't like green onions and they were left off of both the kalbi and tofu soup.

I've been coming here twice for their cold noodles combo, the noodles were good but I'm in love with their Galbi. Their galbi was super marinated with flavor and grilled exactly the way I liked it. The combo price was less than $30 after tax, and it comes with many small side dishes too. The first time I ordered spicy cold noodles and they were too generous with the spicy sauce... so the second time I asked them to put the sauce on the side, and it was perfect. I love eating kimchi along with the noodles to add some extra taste. I definitely recommend this place. The food tastes authentic even though it's in a Chinese food court. Will come back again!

Ordered take out here when I had some serious cravings for jajangmyeon but didn't want to drive all the way to K-town. Cravings fulfilled and was not disappointed!! Place was a bit difficult to find but they're located inside the same foodcourt where Sunright Tea is. Service was good and staff was very nice. No photos since i ate too fast lol. Would order again from here.

Love this place. Comfort Korean food. A clean and great service family-run restaurant. I usually order 'take-out' when I crave for Seafood Tofu soup, Galbi Beef short rib, or grilled Yellow croaker. I always recommend Omma to my friends.

Their cold noodle was so good! Prices are fair, the young female cashier is super sweet and friendly (the young guy I had on my second visit wasn't great) Great to have a good cold noodle place in Arcadia! Located in the food court next to 99 ranch market. Sides are good, solid place to check out!

I was super hungry and randomly came in to this place. Service, food , everything was excellent!! I usually post the picture before I start eating but this time I had to put up this picture because I finished soup and rice and all Banchans (side dishes). I'll come back for more to try all other foods. Thank you for the great good !!!

I have been wanting to try this restaurant because of all the good reviews. I finally did when it was raining and decided to order it, I'm not sure if it was Door Dash or Uber Eats. I ordered the mushroom tofu soup and the bulgogi. They did send all the sides, all good portions, taste, and presentation. The only thing is I wish it was an actual restaurant. Omma Tofu House is located inside President Square Food Court, on Golden West next to the Ranch Market. But overall, it is good!

this was my first time having cold noodles. i had no idea what to expect when i ordered so i was surprised there was ice in it?? lol it was a bit strange at first, but it was so delicious. i'd call them slushie noodles instead of cold noodles, but what do i know. highly recommend. :)
