Best of the best. I am hard to please in soups matter but I have to admit that Nona Lim is the best you can eat from a thick, sturdy, recyclable and fully reusable plastic container. Forget Campbell's...this is the kind of organic, healthy and tasty food that makes my belly happy. The best pho and the best Indian lentils. I discovered the brand at a Grocery Outlet's aisle...cant believe it was that good when I tried out. It is now a staple for me since I started a few months ago. I did not know they had a delivery program until I read some reviews here, so definitively I will check that out, as well as checking their facilities in Oakland when there! read more

Nona Lim specializes in Bone Broth and soups. It is a delicious convenient way to have a healthy and delicious snack or meal. Nona Lim products come frozen. You need to defrost it in the fridge or on the counter before you can make it. Once defrosted, it takes a minute and a half to a delicious broth. I have tried the broth just as is, and it was delicious and filling. I then took the shitake beef flavor and made Gourmet Ramen, adorned with radishes, scallions, black and white sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil. This made for such a flavorful soup.The carrot ginger soup was fantastic. What I really liked about Nona Lim is the sturdy plastic cups and coverings that encase it.Considering it was mailed from CA., it was still frozen solid when it arrived in my home n NY. Nona Lim did a great job packaging their product to ensure a great product upon receiving. It is such a fabulous safety feature, as not to burn yourself. I really enjoyed the convenient packaging, so could take it on the go with the only equipment needed is a microwave. If you are looking for a healthy and nutritious broth, give Nona Lim a try. read more

Nona Lim is, by far, the BEST pho bone broth I have ever come across. It is a super clean product and the flavors are incredible. I live across the country and order in bulk so I can enjoy the benefits of the pho bone broth and turmeric chicken bone broth to name a couple. Their customer service is top and I look forward to visiting their store on my next trip to Oakland! Bravo Nona Lim- you have lifer in Boston ;) Thanks for the delicious food therapy!! read more

So I've never been to their facility but Nona Lim Coconut Thai broth these freaking Rockstar! I got it the drink recuperating from surgery but it was awesome. I'm looking forward to making it again and adding some mushrooms bamboo shoots and shrimp! I think that will be super yummy! read more

I've enjoyed Nona Lim's Delicious Detox meals and they have been truly delicious and helped me to feel better, especially after a busy period with work and eating out a lot. The ingredients are super fresh and I love the fact that it's all gluten-free! Everything is packaged for easy use, and although the majority is cooked, I like that some of the meals call for just the right amount of cooking to make me feel that I am doing something good for myself, without all the hassles of having to shop, clean, and chop! The cinnamon amaranth pudding with berries makes a great breakfast, and I love the halibut with lemon capers. And oh, it sorta feels like Christmas when I open the delivery box too see all the delish meals that will feed me so well! read more

Let me start by saying I am not a diet person. This is a detox/meal program for people like me AND for health conscious foodies. The food is delivered a couple of times a week in a cooler - everything is fresh & goes straight into the refrigerator until you are ready to eat it. Along with the meals, you receive detailed instructions (step-by-step cooking directions, nutrition info & ingredient lists), so you are learning how to cook all these fabulous meals as well. My favorite dishes were the stuffed chicken, giant lima bean stew, black forbidden rice pudding among others. The food is exotic, so you get to eat things you normally wouldn't (i.e. I did not know what you could do with amaranth until this detox). In addition to yummy food, Nona Lim's detox showed me how great I can feel. During the time I was on the detox, I had much more energy, my stomach lost its bloat, and my mood was more steady. I recommend the service for a bunch of reasons, but the top three are: 1. Anyone can do it (it's THAT easy) 2. It's delicious (changes your mind about "detox") and, 3. It will surprise you (how great you can feel, how little you need things like gluten in your diet, etc.). read more

I have been a customer for about 6 years -- starting when I returned to work after having kids. The convenience of having healthy food around for my new working mom life when I didn't have time in the kitchen anymore was perfect.... and so are the meals. The food is local, nutritious and high quality. We've done the Detox meals as well as the family style meals that used to be offered. The variety is great, and having had the meals, it's given me ideas on how to cook differently when I'm at home too, and use a broader range of ingredients than I did before. I've even had my kids eat the meals too -- they like the surprise of opening the delivery box and seeing dinner there. We also buy the soups at WholeFoods-- am a huge fan of the Ginger Carrot, and my husband loves the Thai Green Curry. read more

I am proud to say that I am no stranger to Nona Lim, having completed their 21-Day Detox Diet earlier this year when they were still called Cook SF (go see my review if Yelp hasn't erased those yet). I was definitely pleased with that experience since I lost 12 pounds during that time, not to mention that the food was scrumptious, convenient for travel, and easy to prepare. So when I heard that the company had changed its name to honor the founder, Nona Lim, I was confused. Did this mean that the quality of the food and the timeliness of the deliveries would change? Yes, dare I say it, for the better! While the company was transitioning, I joined the Nona Lim facebook page and decided to take advantage of the "grand opening" discount that was offered upon the unveiling their new Web site. And doggone if that wasn't one of the best health decisions I have ever made. I chose to undergo three weeks of the Lifestyle Plan, and the food was even more phenomenal than I had experienced before. Huevos rancheros, steak fajitas, French toast and "sausage," gluten free meals with no added sugar and fresh ingredients. I honestly don't know how they do it. The food is full of flavor without being salty, greasy, or fatty. I can't stress enough how impressive it is that they are able to ship fresh ingredients across the US. The pico de gallo that came with my fajitas exploded with flavor. It was as if the veggies had been chopped moments before I opened the UPS box. To make a long review short, these real, wholesome food products make me feel so much more alive. Granted, I could run around and look for the ingredients to do a lot of the meals myself since the recipe concepts are fairly simple. However, I live in an area where a lot of the meal plan's staples -- amaranth, radicchio, bok choy, quinoa, and coconut oil -- are hard to find. In my mind, the convenience of this service outweighs the costs if you are trying to live a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, low refined sugar lifestyle in a rural or undeveloped area. And yes, yes, yes, you will have to pay quite a bit to get it shipped to you. Nevertheless, this service ships timely, has great customer service, an exceptional menu (lots of organics), and frequent discounts for those who subscribe to their facebook page or e-mail newsletter. If you are considering one of their meal services, it is worth giving them a test run. They offer a two-day trial of the Detox. And, of course, both the Lifestyle Plan and the Detox can be ordered for durations as short as a week. The Lifestyle plan is also flexible because you can tailor it so that you are ordering just the meals you need. There's no excuse not to make Nona Lim your personal chef. read more

Nona Lim soups are really fresh and so flavorful. I used to have to buy them in specialty stores but they're becoming more widely available, which is fantastic. Working from home, this is my go-to lunch choice because it's quick and satisfying. read more
