If you want a quick snack or even a quick lunch at the San clemente Outlet I recommend this place as they have a pretty decent price and also the food is delicious with great portions! The staff were friendly and it is where you order first at the cashier and they will bring the food to your table. The ambiance if okay and the place was clean! They have more tables outside as well to seat if you want. I wish they had more food options! The TOMO fries were incredible with the extra kick and sauce on it! The potstickers were typical, the chicken teriyaki bowl was delicious the tempura green beans were great! And last but not least their Tomo Ramen were delicious!!! read more

There was nothing positive to report on my first visit. Walked in, order taker was busy in conversation with someone they apparently knew and didn't bother acknowledging us. Cook came over after a couple minutes to try and start out order. Ordered two bowls and two orders of dumplings which came out to about $50. 6 pot stickers for $12?? The food was basic and not good. The restroom was a war zone. First and last time going here you have been warned. Can't see what takes its place in a month or two. read more

Came in and nobody was at the counter. Waited a few minutes then somebody from the back, maybe the cook, stood up but never acknowledged us. He just kept on looking and using his phone. The other 2 customers behind us also left. Very poor customer service. read more

After a full day at the pickleball tourney in San Clemente, I was looking for a good dinner. I found Tomo Noodles and Dumplings located at the Outlets at San Clemente and thought I give them a try. I came here about 15 or 30 mins before their closing time. Upon entry, I noticed a huge wall with some neat art which was nice. They have good amount of seating along the wall. I wanted to try their noodles and dumplings. The gentleman behind the counter informed me that they were getting ready to close so nothing was available except for a couple items. I ended up leaving. I really wanted to try their noodles and dumplings so I returned here the next evening. Same thing happened again, but this time I was here about one hour prior to closing. The same gentleman from the day before informed me that they either ran out of the noodles and dumplings or they just stopped selling them one hour before closing time which doesn't makes sense to me. They only had rice bowls left at the time... such a bummer! This time around I didn't leave. I ended up getting the chicken rice bowl. It tasted just okay. Nothing special about it. My overall experience was not the greatest. If their specialty are noodles and dumplings, you would think they should have them available for purchase up to closing time. I originally wanted to give them a 2 stars, but since the gentleman did give me a discount on my chicken rice bowl for the inconvenience, I bumped it up to 3 stars. Will I be back? Probably not. read more

Good quick ramen my kids love it too!! Served hot and pork is super flavorful. Not traditional but still yummy!

Got the tomo fries. Insane amount of fries. Jonathan was very friendly and helped offer to adjust the spiciness of the seasonings as we wanted something on the lower spice level. He saw that we were attending our baby daughter and brought out the fries and napkins to our table. Thanks Jonathan! read more

The ramen and dumplings were tasty. Service was excellent. Food came out quick. Plenty of seats indoor.

I've been wanting to stop by and try this mom and pop fast food business. Had the chicken and pork pot stickers equally good. The fried wontons were also good. Snack size as only 3 per order. Had a matcha drink that was average. Cashier was helpful with suggestions. Not bad for a road stop. read more

Fresh food and the dishes actually look like what the pictures show. This is where I will go when I want fresh and healthy, flavorful food. The fire chicken was perfect - not too spicy, but just right. Dumplings were good. Salmon bowl was perfect. read more

Tomo Noodles & Dumplings - Ramen Near Me - San Clemente, California

We decided to check this spot out since there aren't a ton of food options in the outlets area. Most of us wanted to try their chicken katsu sandwich, but the guy said they only had one more bun left, so we were only able to get one. The katsu bowls instead were still pretty good. The food isn't too pricey, but the portions also aren't that big. read more

Megan was the only one working. There were seven people there, the wait wasn't long at all. She stayed friendly, positive, and handled everything so well by herself. Everything was absolutely delicious too. Great service and great food! read more

The place was empty. My dumplings came fast. Too fast. Server never checked to see if I needed anything even though I was the only customer in sight. I wanted to sit in the outdoor seating area but the tables and floor were filthy. No reason to go back. So many other noodle places around, like Min's for example, that are so much better. read more

Service was great, but the ramen was rather disappointing. The broth was very bland; however, the chashu was well-seasoned and the noodles had a nice chew. read more

Menu available in the store is different than listed online. Noodles were gummy and undercooked. The corn in the ramen was the only tasty thing from the various ramens we ordered. Service left much to be desired. There are better options out there. read more

Johnathan was on the awesome! For our family of 4 with 2 young men it was a hit. Lots of food! The taste was on point too! Gotta try the Tomo Fries. read more

Jonathan and his team at this location are top notch. The food was great with good prices but the service from the staff was the best! One of our favorite places to eat in San Clemente and plenty of seating so it's not super crowded. The staff was awesome with our kids, too! read more

I drive 30mins out of my way for some ramen and I call ahead to make sure they are open 30 mins before they close. and everything is off. the guy in there is pretending to sweep! and saying they turned everything off an hour early!!! are you kidding if you CLOSE AT 7 CLOSE AT 7!!!! not 6:15.....or 6:30 or....6:45!!! are you kiddin. PUT YOUR GODDAMN GOOGLE LISTING TO 6 if you are gunna close at 6! I did everything I can to enjoy a meal. I called ahead and there's just 2 ppl in there doing nothing! read more

We had a very pleasant meal here. One of the workers was super cool and good vibes. We'd come again. We had the chicken ginger ramen and the salmon bowl. read more

Unfortunately, the dumplings we ordered were subpar. It felt like we paid for frozen dumplings from the Asian supermarket to be defrosted and prettied up. And, keeping in mind the dumplings were just ok- you are of course only given about 3 dumplings per order! The whole food experience was just sad. And honestly, the "chefs" behind the kitchen counter knew it too. The cashier/server was really friendly though and made the overall experience better. So that was a plus! read more

Tomo Noodles & Dumplings - Pork Steamed Dumplings - Ramen Near Me - San Clemente, California

Shopping worked up an appetite so we stopped in for a snack and got 2 orders of steamed dumplings (chicken and pork). The workers were friendly and the order came out quick, however the dumplings themselves were only ok... I make better ones at home from Costco Ling Ling. There wasn't anything quite wrong with them except they were more like steamed potstickers (not dumplings) and they stuck to the paper inside the bowl. read more

Friendly service. Spacious both indoors and outdoors (seating). The menu is outdated though. Apparently, the shoyu egg is not standard in the Tonkotsu Ramen. I asked about it, so they honored it and supplied the egg after the fact. The portion is much smaller than other ramen places. They were completely out of all bottled pressed juices. The ramen (broth and ingredients) was fair. I think it's a good quick choice on a chilly evening. Happy eating! read more

Brief yet great experience here! Stopped in for a little lunch. I didn't order much but was treated very kindly by the gentleman in the front. The chicken dumplings were great and came with a sauce (soy sauce like) and a spicy sauce as I requested. Deserved a great review! read more

The food here is delicious. The cook John was super friendly and took the time to explain how he prepares the meals. We specifically ordered the katsu bowl and the chicken was absolutely divine. It's the perfect amount of crispy while still being juicy and tender inside. The rice was cooked to perfection and the veggies were crunchy and fresh. We ended up coming back for seconds. Hands down one of the best places that I've ate at. read more

Came in at 11:40 on a weekday. Empty, and the cook stayed 30 feet away from the counter, apparently summoning the cashier/order taker. She sauntered out, apparently busy with tasks more important than customers. The food was fine (salmon bowl, chicken bowl) but nothing special. Restaurants can survive with either superior service and mezzo food, or lower service and outstanding food (Soupman in NYC). But medium food with poor service? Formula for failure. Oh, and no paper towels in the restroom. First thing of the day. No attention to detail. You won't die if you eat there, but you won't enjoy it. read more

We decided to have lunch here after shopping at the outlet. What a big mistake! The food was mediocre. I ordered the chicken katsu plate and I was really disappointed. It basically tasted like cooked chicken with a bunch sauce poured over it. No taste at all. A couple who was seated next to us also ordered the same thing, I saw a disappointed look on their face as they tasted their food. For drinks, we ordered the pineapple mojito but looked nothing like the picture. It was not even yellow in color. It looked like a regular ice tea but didn't taste like it. I had no clue what is it. Service was slow. It took about 20 minutes just to get our food. To top all off, they forgot to give us the pineapple mojito until I asked for it. The staff which consisted of high school/college kids were not very enthusiastic and not friendly at all. It seemed like they were not happy with their jobs by the look on their faces. I would definitely not recommend this place. read more

Less than meh. I wish we skipped this place. And, the rice was gross in the chicken bowl. How do you ruin rice? Pass.

Will definitely be back can't wait to try the fried green beans and the pork chasu, thank you ! read more

Everything I've ever had to eat here is just so salty not going to lie!!! If you like food you can't taste anything but salt this is your place but if you like to taste your food go elsewhere!!!! Bottom of the barrel place for Ramen or anything on there menu in San Clemente to be honest!!! There's great places to eat in San Clemente but I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy!!!! read more

I had a very nice experience, Johnathan was very welcoming and the food was delicious. The chicken katsu sandwich was crispy and flavorful, they catered it to my liking by putting the sauce on the side, and the fries were so good. The pork dumplings were tasty, it was very fresh with a unique flavor, but very good!! Great place will definitely go back! read more
