Tomo Noodles & Dumplings

We have never been to the outlets before. On the way home, we decided at try this place and have a bite. So happy that we did! We shared the katsu chicken sandwich with fries. It was just delicious! And a bargain for only $10. A total splitter. The man at the register was so pleasant. We shall be back.

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.

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.

all of us loved it! She had shoyu ginger chicken last drop of broth was amazing salmon with rice also a hit definitely worth to come back and bring family the costumer service very friendly the owner was funny and patient with my girl ordering, especially surprising since she has a stutter disorder and she normally stutters but not once did she with him!

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!

Ramen was nice and hot, service was friendly and fast. Will come back to check/try out the rest of their menu. Definitely hit our lunch craving.

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!

The picture does not do this justice. It was so good that even my picky daughter loved it. Customer service was great too. Will definitely be getting this again. "Mom can we get this next time we come again. It was the best" - My daughter

This review is in comparison to other food places in the outlet. Broth is not too salty, which you could healthily consume. Ingredients are good and fresh. Noodles are a bit soft though. But this is an outlet place. Prices are not expensive too.

Definitely leaves you full. However, beyond that, theres nothing of real value. The taste is subpar, and despite the portions being good, the texture of the chicken could convince me that it is microwaved frozen food. The rice is also cooked in a rather mediocre quality. Overall, despite good pricing for a fair portion, the taste of the teriyaki bowl could convince me that the meal was conjured by a 14 year old who just started cooking. The cashier also started having a conversation with someone while I was ordering.
