Noodle soup at Omen in NYC, New York

Jodi and I decided to go to Omen in Soho, following a strong recommendation. Well, they have noodles and in the past year, we have been hooked on trying ramen or any sort of noodle soups! And it seems that Omen is making its own noodles! So we could not miss an occasion to try!

The decor was nice and elegant, but we did not see any masks on the wall (Omen means "mask" in Japanese).

We did not check the menu in advance as we usually do and only realized, once there, that it was a bit pricey. Well, we were there and maybe the $20 for the noodle soup would be worth it! So we both ordered the Omen noodle soup. I have to say that it took a bit for the food to come.

The soup was composed of 3 separate dishes to assemble: soup, noodles and vegetables.

When it came, I was surprised by the amount of food: enough soup (that was miso), but not enough noodles and definitely a tiny portion of vegetables with no protein at all! What a disappointment!

So, we first put some sesame seeds in the soup, then put the noodles and then the veggies.

The noodles were good, very soft. However, the tiny portion of veggies kind of made it boring.

Well, it was definitely a very sad soup and a disappointment, although I liked the playfulness of the dish. I do not know if the rest of their food is better, but I would certainly not recommend the noodle soup! And by the way, we were still hungry after we left!!!

Enjoy (...)!
