John S.

Big Chipotle-style custom bowl guy here, and this place totally delivered. I ordered the pork with the espresso rub and built my bowl with all my favorites; sweet potatoes, pickled onions, cilantro, corn, that delicious black rice, plus a half-salad/half-rice base. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy for how good it tasted. Yummy, satisfying, and absolutely worth a return trip.

Service was extremely good. I was disappointed that a lot of items were either out of stock or no longer being done anymore but were listed as options on the glass. I sadly didn't care for any of the sauces that came with the food. Many were spicy and l asked which was the least spicy with the sriracha aioli being suggested as one of the least spicy. I tried it. But wasn't a fan. Also had the dark brown one that didn't have any spicy ingredients that l can recall. But it also wasn't my cup of tea. I did like the edamame hummus. The flavor on the citrus chicken was notably amazing. The rest? Was not as memorable. Nor did l feel for almost $20 was this worth the price. The amount of items l got were small portions. Maybe 7ish bites of steak and chicken. Similar with the veggies. For the same concept l think Cava delivers a bit better. I also want to note that getting here was difficult for my gps. Also, you do have to pay to park. I think it was $2 even though l was just there to park and grab this bowl and drive off. The lot is gravel. Not a deal breaker but not ideal. Also, extremely difficult to find this place if you've never been before. There wasn't a directory once l started walking that l could find. I had to finally go into a few stores to ask a worker where it was. Apparently there is a food cafeteria. I didn't realize this and was disappointed with how difficult it all was and how limited my options were once l was there. This place is take out only because there is no place to sit within Nom. I believe there is seating in the food hall but l didn't venture in further to see for myself. I was on a time crunch to get home. Was it healthy? Yeah. Was it supremely tasty? No. Not unless you like spicy sauces or one brown one that l cant even remember if it was sweet or savory. Prob both really.

Friendly service and great food! Everything in the bowl is seasoned well and fresh, the sauces are nice but you really don't need them since everything is already flavorful. I got the steak and it was tender and very good!

Umami Steak Bowl & Sambal-Glazed Tofu Bowl

Hidden Gem at River Street Marketplace - NOM is the Bomb! I was heading home from San Diego and looking for something good for lunch when I stumbled across the River Street Marketplace and a restaurant called NOM. I originally joked that "NOM is the bomb" -- and it turned out to be just as good as it sounds! It absolutely lived up to the hype. Their build-your-own bowls are fantastic -- everything is made fresh in-house daily, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The owner was a delight to chat with, clearly passionate about what they do. The restaurant hasn't been open long, but I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a healthy, flavorful lunch bowl. At first, I found myself wondering -- is this like Sweetgreen? Tender Greens? Maybe Cava? Nope -- it's none of the above, because it's way better. We tried a few different sauces: Kumquat Ponzu - packed with flavor. Citrus Teriyaki - light, gingery, and so good. The black rice was savory with a touch of sweetness. Between us, we got the Umami Steak Bowl and the Sambal Glazed Tofu Bowl -- both were excellent. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by NOM. You'll leave happy and full, and probably planning your next visit before you've even left the parking lot.

I'm completely obsessed with tofu, I've been trying to eat more protein so I was craving something like this and drove all the way here for a tofu bowl since I loved it so much last time. It ha so much flavor and I love the sides! Tatianna is so sweet and she made my bowl for me. They were giving out samples of orange chicken which is also healthy so I got some for the BF.

I spotted this restaurant as we were walking out of the Rodeo River Street Area and told my boyfriend, I have to try this next time. Not sure how I missed it before. Anywho, I loved the Vegan Bowl I got. The food is delicious and pretty. The attendant was helpful and friendly. Everything looks fresh and clean. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Wanted something healthy at the rodeo food hall and Nom looked like the best option. Like a chipotle style bowls with healthy grains and salads etc. Got a grains and lettuce bowl with marinated chicken. Got some good veggies that were cooked well. I did skip all the sauces to keep my calories down. Overall it was a good healthy option but did get a little pricey. If you add an egg or any extras the price tag will get pretty steep in my opinion

This is a hidden gem! Located in the newer food court building near Los Rios in San Juan Capistrano, my teen and I were in search of something healthy, refreshingly and accommodating our dietary restrictions. Nom's food is absolutely delicious! It's bursting with flavors. I don't typically like pickled onions, so I'm not sure what they do with theirs, but they're fantastic! We both got bowls and I discovered that I can have ponzu sauce here as it's made with gluten free soy sauce (homemade here!). The owner is so friendly, and eager to learn (though she's already a wealth of knowledge) about individual dietary needs. I got the coffee rubbed pork, and my teen got the citrus chicken. The egg was fantastic too! We both felt great after eating. Enjoy!!

Fresh, Flavorful, and Healthy! I tried Nom in San Juan Capistrano at the new River Street Market and absolutely loved it! I got the tofu bowl, and since it's a build-your-own concept, I was able to customize it exactly how I wanted. Every topping had so much flavor, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and clean. The sriracha aioli was the perfect touch--not too spicy but packed with flavor, making the bowl even better. Service was fast and everyone was super friendly. My boyfriend tried it too and agreed it was delicious! It's rare to find a place where the food tastes amazing but also feels healthy to eat. I'll definitely be coming back! Not to mention this plaza has tons of cute shops and is located right in the center of downtown SJC and next to historic Los Rios street. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal in such a beautiful area!

Johnny Q.

Wanted something healthy here and this spot interested me. Service was extremely generous and the server offered I try all three: green, black rice and oats without extra charge. She also recommended the espresso pork that was very unique and seasoned to perfection. The rest of the toppings were very fresh and complimented each other well. Total came out to $20 which is normal for a food market but I would still come again. The inside of this red Rodeo food market has a very community and barn vibe.

Kevin C.

It's located inside the Rodeo River Street food hall. The food quality was excellent. I feel like both the greens and protein were very tasty. Jammy Egg was good. Decent overall portion size.

Brian M.

Nom is fantastic. First, the service was friendly and helpful in explaining how the bowl creation works. They even offered to let us sample a couple items so we could make our selections. I went with the Unami Steak Bowl - I had it with the black rice for the base with bok choy, coconut corn, broccoli, pickled onions, spicy pickles, edamame hummus and a jammy egg. I also added a couple sauces (black garlic vinaigrette and sriracha mayo). The flavors in the bowl were terrific and the jammy egg was amazing. We left full and happy. We will be back.

Located immediately through the entrance of the food hall, it's one of the few places that have a door. No seating inside, but there is seating in the food hall and a lot outside. There was just the 1 worker taking/making orders and it's similar to Cava but with Asian flavors instead of Mediterranean. You can get as many or little ingredients as you'd like for the same price. It seems healthy and you can get your fill with all the various toppings. read more

Excellent food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. We were really excited to try based on all the pics and were very happy with the decision. I ordered the bowl with chicken while my friend tried the steak. (Tofu was an option for vegetarians) They give you many options to choose from including greens, two different kinds of grains, 10 toppings(including fun options like pickled onions, jammy eggs, and sweet corn) and several sauces. The flavors meshed together so well and it was nice to have plenty of space in the bowl to mix everything. Give this place a try....you won't regret it. read more

The best thing about this restaurant is the quality of the food and the nutritiousness and deliciousness of it. I was very surprised that none of the add-ons were extra even things like avocado and soft, boiled, marinated eggs, or whatever those things were. The black rice was more flavorful and delicious and I looked it up and it is also more nutritious! The girls at the front also told me they don't use seed oils which I appreciate. It's not necessarily cheap, but it is relatively inexpensive especially when compared to the restaurants around and the quality of food they're offering. And a great sitting area right in front. Overall vibes, I hope they stay in business. God bless. read more

The batter wasn't overly thick, the texture was great, and the sauce was honestly better than Panda Express. The Mongolian beef was juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. I also liked the vegetables that came with it. The soups were really well made and exactly what we were craving. They gave us the option of brown or white rice, and both were cooked well. Our waitress was amazing; she's super kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. The inside was a little dark, but the windows were open so there was still natural light coming in.

I'm not usually a fan of Chinese food (I tend to get a lot of headaches) - but wow, yum!…read more My optometrist is located in the complex next to Tian Tian and I had a bit of a busy day, so placed an order through their website for pick up. I was happy that it was ready in about 10 minutes! I opted for one of the lunch bento boxes with orange chicken and Mongolian beef. I preferred the chicken; the beef cut wasn't to my liking - but the chicken was so flavorful! The combo was also served with white rice. I was able to make about a meal and a half out of it, which I appreciated. There are a decent amount of tables inside; you can also order for take out. Looking forward to trying other dishes! 2026: 33/100

Twenty minutes later--at 7:35 pm--I was still waiting with nothing but repeated apologies. What frustrates me most is the lack of honesty. If they had been upfront and told me it would take another 20 minutes, I could have run an errand or waited elsewhere instead of standing around getting increasingly annoyed. On top of that, when I finally received the order, the food wasn't properly placed in the bag. The bag was covered in grease and everything was messy, making a poor end to an already frustrating experience. Beyond disappointed. For a restaurant dealing with hot food and timed pickups, basic honesty about delays and better attention to packaging would go a long way

I visited NOM Bowls & Rolls today with a friend, and unfortunately, it was a letdown. The restaurant is new, so I understand they may still be working out some issues, but there were several problems that really stood out. First, the ordering process was confusing. There were no clear instructions on how many ingredients we could choose per section, which made it difficult to customize our bowls properly. Even though the line wasn't long, this lack of guidance slowed things down. As for the food, both my steak bowl and my friend's pork bowl were disappointing. The portions were skimpy, and worst of all, the food was cold, hard, and chewy. The broccoli was mushy and overcooked, with no real flavor. Given the quality, the price was steep--our bowls came out to around $20 each, which feels excessive for what we got. Honestly, if you're looking for a better option, CAVA serves substantially better bowls at a lower price. I really wanted to like this place, but based on this experience, I can't recommend it. Hopefully, they improve, but for now, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. read more

NOM - River Street Marketplace, San Juan Capistrano NOM stands out for its bold, well-balanced flavors and the fact that everything is made to your preferences. You're not just ordering off a menu -- you're building something that fits your taste, with a wide variety of add-in options that genuinely enhance the dish. The add-ins aren't just extras; they're thoughtfully designed flavor boosters that add texture, depth, and personality to every bite. The ingredients are fresh, the combinations work beautifully, and the end result always feels intentional and satisfying. The outdoor seating is another big win. It's comfortable, open, and fits perfectly with the relaxed energy of River Street Marketplace. Enjoying a fully customized meal outside just makes the experience even better. If you appreciate made-to-order food, great flavor combinations, and a laid-back outdoor setting, NOM is absolutely worth a visit. read more

NOM has truly brought a breath of fresh air to the SoCal dining scene! Their Asian-inspired bowls are not just healthy and clean, but also bursting with authentic flavors that transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Asia. And for those with dietary restrictions, the gluten-free and dairy-free desserts are nothing short of a revelation. It's rare to find treats that are both delicious and accommodating, but NOM has mastered it. Soon a new place to be opened in the picturesque San Juan Capistrano, close to Los Rios street this fast-casual gem is a must-visit for both locals and travelers. Highly recommended! read more
