Little noodle spokane

I wasn't sure what to expect from this noodle place. You walk in, and it's like going into a strangers house. There is a very laid-back vibe, and the staff are extremely friendly. If you just want to grab a quick bite but want to keep your sweats on, this is your spot. Nothing fancy. They have a large chalkboard on the wall showing the menu items. I definitely recommend the garlic sesame noodles with smoked chicken. I could eat pounds of the smoked chicken, it was rich and delicious.

We got the Peanut Noodle Salad and Garlic Sesame Noods. The noodle salad was refreshing, especially on a hot day. I preferred my fiance's garlic noodles a bit, so I'll definitely be back. The spring rolls were also pretty good!!

Don't waste your money here, trust the low reviews. Not a great first impression, honestly I should've just walked away without ordering. Most of the noodle shops in Spokane close at 9, so we decided to try out Little Noodle for the first time. As we walked up there were two bros loudly talking about something, not normally an issue, but it turns out these were the kitchen staff just hanging out. We stood around for about 7 mins looking at the menu (which looked promising) and checking the place out, but absolutely no one showed up to take orders and no one was in the kitchen at all. Eventually we got the attention of the bartender at the "Itty Bitty Buddha Bar" who graciously took our order. The kitchen bros eventually come back in, still intent on their conversation. We hear them throw excuses at the bartender about how it will take a while for the order, they immediately get on discussing some kind of car crash story. I wouldn't care, but I couldn't hear much of anything over their discussion. One highlight of their conversation was "floor food" which the apparent cook loudly proclaimed "[he] would never serve" (We are so fortunate 🙏). By sheer force of volume I gather that the kitchen had been shut down preemptively and that they need to "reopen" everything. We showed up at about 8:45p, every indication online states that they close at 11p. Apparently the door has the pleasantly vague statement "12-Close", change the time online if you don't want to stay open. We ordered to-go and didn't have high hopes, but damn was the food unappealing. We got home after a 10 min drive and the to-go boxes were essentially melting in my hands as I walked inside. Upon opening them I was greeted by what looked like a school lunch impersonation of a noodle dish. The meat was dry and pale, the veggies looked particularly troubling, and the broth was leaking and coated the bag it was in. If you're reading this much, then we should have just walked away and you should too. Part of me wants the rant on and on, but simply put, don't waste your time/money here. I'm now standing in my kitchen debating whether or not I should eat this or just see if the local wildlife wants to give it a go. Good way to waste money. Decided to give it a go and put it in bowls, this just looks like wet spaghetti with slivers of subpar meat and tastes exactly like it looks. -10/10, giving this to wildlife would be animal cruelty. Hopefully Taco Bell

When I opened my bahn mi box, I had to stop and take a moment to admire how beautiful it was before digging in. They definitely didn't skimp! Their smoked tofu is amazing!! I also got the shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce which were delicious. Such a cool local spot with a variety of amazing looking dishes!

I had heard good things about this place so I finally gave it a try today. Ordered Musubi and the spring rolls and was very disappointed. I didn’t get a picture of the Musubi, but the spam was barely cooked and not crispy at all. There was no marinade or seasoning, just rice, which immediately fell apart, spam, and nori. It tasted like a salty hotdog with rice. I think the bar needs to be higher for such a simple dish. The spring rolls were rolled very loosely and fell apart as well. There were three pieces of shrimp (expected), two baby leaves of romaine, and rice noodles. No other vegetables or herbs as the menu described and as is traditional. Actually, the second roll had one solitary leaf of basil and it helped. The peanut sauce was dynamite. 10/10 on the sauce itself. But a very poor showing overall.

Such a charming spot! The atmosphere is super cute, and the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. The food is generally great, though occasionally (maybe 1 out of every 10 visits), the veggies aren’t as fresh as I’d like. Still, it’s a minor issue in an otherwise consistently enjoyable experience. I usually go for the build-your-own bao buns, which come with a delicious cucumber salad that I absolutely love. The drinks are also solid, especially since they share the space with The Itty Bitty Buddha, which adds a fun vibe. Definitely worth checking out!

The Pho did not taste anything like Pho from any other place I’ve ever eaten it. They use SMOKED chicken. The noodles were not even cooked. I literally could not even eat it because of how gross it was. We sadly left the full bowl on the table. On the bright side, they have a cute axolotl which my daughter liked, so at least it wasn’t a complete waste of money.

My girlfriend and I came for a Sunday afternoon lunch hoping to get some ramen and left feeling like we had just experienced one of the worst meals of our lives. I don’t usually leave reviews but the quality of the food plus the price we paid for said quality was genuinely ridiculous. It was pretty much inedible and neither of us finished our food and we both left feeling deeply unsatisfied (and that’s putting it nicely). The low reviews are right on this one. First off the quality, I had ordered the Tonkotsu ramen + pork belly and my girlfriend ordered their miso ramen + mushrooms. Immediately as we were waiting for our food there was a sneaking suspicion that the sole employee working at the time was microwaving our food, we were able to hear the distinct sound of microwave buttons being pressed coming from the kitchen (it was also just the two of us in the restaurant at the time). Our suspicions were confirmed when the food came out and our ramen was lukewarm at best. Not only that, but it was clear that they didn’t cook any of our veggies. They were all raw. The worst was my girlfriend’s mushrooms, big chunks of just raw mushroom that couldn’t even get cooked a little more by the lukewarm soup. The pork belly I had ordered was serviceable but it tasted like some leftover dinner I had heated up for myself the following day, stale and a little dry. In conclusion, cold soup, raw vegetables, and nothing was freshly cooked. It felt like one of those meals straight out of Kitchen Nightmares. Secondly, the price point. In this day and age, the prices aren’t unreasonable for decent bowl of ramen. 16$ + 5$ for a protein, fine. But, for this type of money, at the very least I’d expect my soup to be hot. Portions were also on the smaller side. Definitely not worth the price. After some reflection, perhaps there’s some discrepancy between dinner and lunch service. It seems like the focus of the restaurant is on the bar and the dinner service where I’m assuming they’d at least cook their food then. Just speculation but it may just be the leftovers from yesternight being reheated up and served as the next day’s lunch. At least that’s what it tastes like. That’s still no excuse for the quality, and as for my experience here for lunch, it was rock bottom, I would not recommend. (Note to the owner: on your menu, tonkotsu ramen is not spelled tonkatsu, that’s an entirely different dish)

The chef came out to take our order and told us there is a new menu. I saw they have Udon Kimchi noodles so I ordered it. It was truly spectacular. I have made kimchi jigge at home and it's amazing. Well this was that delicious if not more. I was very impressed with the blend of flavors and balance of sour, salty, and spicy. They really nailed it. That new chef is someone to keep an eye on. I'm super glad I'm getting married soon and moving into this area so I can have udon kimchi any time I want.

Very Friendly owner food wasn't the best very salty and cold pho. They were out of so much stuff on the menu. The owner was the only one working no staff. Very old fashioned and choppy rooms not very comfortable.

Shrimp spring rolls are full of noodles and some shrimp. A few pieces of pale Romain? And one basil leaf torn in half. Very disappointed. I'm used to fresh veggies and herbs.... Carrots, cucumber, mint, cilantro, etc.

Very ok. Friendly service. Flies everywhere. Limited AC. Obviously short staff. Food was ok. For American... for real Asian.. good luck. But again Spokane has very limited selection (at least it's not just orange chicken )

Was our first time at Little Noodle in Spokane, was a small building but had some awesome and fun art Work and they even had a little bar. We both ordered pho and my wife picked smoked pork belly for her protein and I picked smoked pork. The wait was a little longer then usual, but it was well worth the wait. The broth was super killer and meat could've been cut up smaller but that's OK. The cilantro added freshness and jalapeños added spice which I really enjoyed and we was given dipping sauce and didn't know what they were but they were delicious. If you want a nice little restaurant and wanting Pho head on over to Little Noodle in the Garland District in Spokane you won't regret it.

I ordered their tofu peanut salad to be delivered. Having worked in the restaurant business in the past I tipped very well so the person deliver received over 30% tip. I was expecting tofu in the salad that I ordered. I tasted and saw absolutely none. I've spent over $30 having this order delivered because I'm slightly disabled and didn't want to have to go out ~ to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

Epic people, epic food, epic ambiance, music slaps, tofu so flavorful, marinated eggs are awesome. i genuinely don't understand why this place only has four stars.

Extremely salty and brown pho with noodles that aren't completely done cooking and improperly cooked shrimp. The shrimp was little and split in half then overcooked making them rubbery and grainy. If you want Pho. Do not go here!

This little place in the Garland district is a true gem. Now I'll admit I'm a little biased as it's owned by a childhood friend- I couldn't be more proud of her and her creativity, drive, dedication and commitment to serving great food in an adorable setting! I live in Seattle now but try to pop in as often I can when I'm in town- so far everything I've tried has been delightful- fresh, flavorful and delicious.

Amazing food, great drinks, friendly staff. I love the vibe here, it's cozy and awesome. Please support this local business! Unfortunately they are fairly flaky with online orders and ours get cancelled a lot or they just aren't available for to go orders. They would get 5 stars if not for this! Support them! But also fix this problem.

Staff were nice and friendly, but it took while them to notice us when we (total of four people) came. And inside the restaurant was humid.The soup in our ramen bowls we ordered were not hot enough and way too salty. I don't think they should be lukewarm like French meals. The soup in ramen bowl suppose to be hot when it was served. Also, the noodle was so mussy and stuck together. The egg in the ramen was like eating salt. The smoked pork was fine. I noticed at least a menu was misspelled and means a totally different dish. I mentioned it to a staff, but she really did not care about it. The wall in the restaurant was painted so cute, though.

I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and it was anything but ramen. The noodles were hard and looked like yakisoba noodles, it came with cilantro instead of bok choy, and had pickled veggies. It tasked more like a pho dish than ramen because it had a sweet vinaigrette taste to it. I've had tonkotsu before, not here, and the broth is meant to be hearty, smooth, and rich in flavor. The garnish is the pork belly, soft boil egg, seaweed, bamboo shoots, green onions, and mushrooms. This was not that dish. I'm sure their other food is probably good but if you want Japanese ramen you won't find it here.

Great service and a fun ambiance, but for what you're getting it's a bit pricey and not that amazing quality altogether.

Take out Pho just now and no broth sent with. 1st time there, also got spring rolls and charged extra for shrimp even though it's included on the menu Won't be back.

Overall a very disappointing experience. Getting seated took forever, and our group kept getting their food at different times which made the eating experience weird. The service overall was just weird, with food mixups, shortage of menu items, and also them changing our order after we ordered because they ran out of product of what we ordered. As for the food, it was passable. Our appetizers were fairly pleasant but average. Our entrees were just over lukewarm and seemed very skimpy. Dessert was unbelievably mid. Overall had great potential but left us feeling underwhelmed. They don't really seem to value customer experience and it really showed. Likely will not return,

The appetizers were served after we got our entrees, everything was room temp or partially heated up. The tom ka noodle salad was bland and the serving size of meat was very small. Inside the restaurant was very muggy too

Little Noodle is my spot. Love their food. Vegan Pho is rock star. The spring rolls are amazing.

A new Northside baby "itty bitty Buddha" bar with an amazing noodle selection Will not disappoint unless you're looking for a greasy burger

Had the miso and the beef ramen bowls. Broth was tasty and flavorful. Lots of veggies. Service was friendly. Menu has lots to choose from. Great place to grab a quick bite.

Biggest waste of 30$ in my life. We got the soup dumplings and there was no broth in any of them, the dough was so thick and not flavourful at all. One order of dumplings comes with 6 dumplings for 14$....... That speaks for itself. I do feel bad that the only worker here was alone with no help but the service wasn't top tier either. I would recommend going to trader joes and getting the dumplings you can make in your own micro wave for 6 bucks.

Loved the food; service was a little slow but with homemade food it takes some time so now we just order ahead. The pho burrito and pho soup real good. Nice spot in the garland district.

Little Noodle is a hidden gem in the Garland district. The menu is creative and delicious. The owner and staff go above and beyond. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Spokane.

Insanely great food and such an incredibly talented chef/owner in Kadra Evans. What an absolute joy having Little Noodle in the neighborhood. Their spicy kimchi udon, smoked pork belly and banh mi sandwich are all staples for me. I seriously dream about their pho. The spring rolls are so good, too. All fantastic foods, such fresh ingredients. Absolutely legendary. I seriously pray Little Noodle is here to stay.

Hands down, the best Pho in Spokane! Fresh ingredients, fun atmosphere and great staff!! If you like cocktails, check out their cute little bar (Itty Bitty Buddha) in the back. The cocktails are beautiful and delicious. Cheers

I'm quite surprised to see negative reviews. A couple of friends and I had an amazing experience at this cute little establishment tonight... From the moment we walked through the door, the service was friendly and attentive. They have covered outdoor seating, and the patio is dog friendly for your fur children. Inside you seat yourself, and order at the counter, which the friendly woman behind the counter made sure we knew, which was awesome cuz we were newbies. We ended up wandering to the back of the place which is called the "Itty Bitty Buddha Bar." It's a small but very quaint place with fun wall art, lighting, and cozy seating, including a velvety plush couch. The Bartender was amazing from the moment we walked in. I asked her to make me a drink based on just a few things I said I liked, and she made me one of the most refreshing and delish cocktails I've ever had! We ordered three different appetizers, and then three different entrées. Everyone shared everything. Not one of us had a bad thing to say about any of the dishes. Delicious flavors all around, and beautiful presentations. House-smoked meat aromas greet you as you walk in the door. Smoked Tofu is just stupid good. Scrumptious hand crafted cocktails. This is my new go to for Asian fusion deliciousness!!

This place is amazing!! Fresh ingredients and friendly prompt service!! Drinks are delicious and unique! 10/10

A small and cozy place with good food and nice noodle dishes. Friendly staff and accommodating to customers. Would visit again.

This place is AMAZING. We have been a handful of times now, and every time we love it. It's combined with Itty Bitty Buddha, so the review is kind of for both, not JUST little noodle (: FOOD & DRINKS: for drinks, we had the pear old fashioned and berry blossom. Both of the drinks are very good and beautifully presented. Definitely craft cocktails. We started with the musubi (tofu and spam) and roti canai. The musubi was good but nothing super special. The sauce with the roti canai was soooooo yummy! For entrees, we ordered the pho with tri-tip and ramen with tofu. They were both delicious. The pho was personally my favorite, good flavors and good spice level when adding the jalapeños. Just good, simple food. Also, I have gotten the kimchi udon in the past, and wow, that stuff is delicious. SERVICE: okay, the SERVICE is the absolute best part of this place. The first few times we had Kadra, and she was so friendly and made fantastic drinks. Tonight, we had Steph, such an attentive bartender, and made for great conversation. I would go back just for the amazing drinks and service alone! AMBIANCE: Itty Bitty Buddha is so so cute. Very quaint and unique. It's a similar size to Baby Bar, if you've ever been there, but more elevated. You order at the counter in the main dining area, so if you're looking for a fancy upscale dining experience, this is simply not the place. PRICE: The price is pretty standard - craft cocktails for $11-14, entrees for $12-20 depending on what you order. The portions are large, so it's well worth the money. OVERALL: Our experience is always top notch and we will continue to keep going back!

I made a whole Yelp account just to say that this stuff was genuinely amazing. We got garlic noods and a pork belly rice bowl, and both were great, but I sadly ate them too quick to take any pictures!! Other than that, I 100% recommend it. also amazing customer service; they were nice and very welcoming

I went in on a Friday night to try this place for the first time. when we arrived, we were told it would be 15 before someone could take our order. We waited for about 10 minutes and decided to leave- not because of the wait time, but because I couldn't get over how HUMID it was in there. I felt the wall and it was literally wet. Everything in the restaurant seemed wet. I couldn't help but thinking it could be a health hazard because of bacteria. I hope they get this problem fixed! I was really looking forward to trying this place out.

We went Saturday at 5:30pm. It was not busy. Us and 2 other tables. They were out of rice paper wraps so the fresh rolls were unavailable. We ordered mushroom soup dumplings, a bowl of curry noodles, and a bowl of pho with vegan broth and smoked tofu. Then we sat and waited a full hour. My husband went to the counter and they said "we're working on it". Two minutes later all the food came. Soup dumplings were cold and dry, had no soup inside. Pho broth was greasy (reminder it was supposed to be vegan). The smoked tofu was disgusting. Curry noodles had more sauce than noodles, more of a curry soup. No excuses for such poor service and disgusting food. These people just don't care.

Easy to miss if you don't know it's there but trust me you don't want to miss this hidden gem! The broth is very flavorful and the build it bao was amazing, I especially love the sauces that come with it!

Have you ever wanted a bowl of pho, but wished you could have a burrito instead? Well, at Little Noodle, you can! They make a burrito with noodles and all the usual pho ingredients wrapped inside, with a little bowl of broth to dip it in, and let me tell you -- it'll change your life. We also tried a couple of appetizers and they were absolutely delicious. Fresh made, high quality food. An important note, though: they can make any of their dishes vegan, but you need to specify that you want them so. Don't assume that just because you ordered the smoked tofu (which is delicious, BTW) for your protein, that the dish will be plant-based only. Service is friendly, the place has a nice vibe, and prices are reasonable.

I have wanted to go here for a year and I finally got the chance. Now I wished I had not. The place is cute and it's clean. The staff was nice enough. I love the recycling they have, and the water jugs in the cooler. BUT, the food was just terrible. We ordered 3 things and they were gross. The chicken tasted like it was just frozen and then boiled quickly to serve. They also forgot the mushroom s I ordered for my soup. My daughter could not make herself try the chicken because it looked just like the cat food we give our main coon cats. We each had about 5bites and then just got up and left. We then went to a sandwich shop and got a sandwich and slowly ate the bread to soak up the oily broth left in our stomach. Also as a side note I've eaten a LOT of Ramen in Seattle and New York and this was definitely some of the most expensive I've ran across.

I was feeling under the weather and all I wanted was food that made me feel warm and cozy. My son picked up Little Noodle for the family. Pho (with tri tip) for me, Ramen for his dad, and like three other items for him and his girlfriend. It was amazing. I swear the Pho broth is magic. It tastes as wonderful as it smells. We have so much extra food for later. I'm already excited for round 2.

Awesome staff! Awesome owner! Yummy food! Perfect place to meet a friend for lunch or cocktail!

The place is very cute cleanFood was amazing and delicious prices were great and employees were very friendly

Fantastic food in an adorable setting. The service is always great. Such a unique restaurant for Spokane. I love it!

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Spokane! The food is always fresh and amazing. The staff here are so kind and remember me when I come in. My go to is the Phoritto but don't sleep on the peanut noodle salad!

My family and I went to Little Noodle for 2024 Inlander Restaurant Week and, after much anticipation for this restaurant, I left disappointed and feel genuinely ripped off. For four meals and four drinks at $150, I feel like we got less than $20 worth of food total. The breakdown: 1st course - they were out of kimbap, so we got two miso clams and two chicken skewers. The clams consisted of two tiny clams in a dish with two dry baguette slices. No broth. The skewers were ok, but we originally were sent one tofu and one chicken and staff was kind of rude when we said we ordered two chicken... 2nd course - we got two ramen, one noodle board, and one bao bun. The bao was ok. Small, but ok. The noodle board and ramen were a letdown. The noodle board flavors and presentation were ok but 3/4 were made with spaghetti noodles. The 1/4 (pho) contained wide rice noodles... like the pad Thai kind? The "ramen" also contained spaghetti noodles and literally nothing else but broth and some green onion. It was advertised to include egg but not an egg in sight. 3rd course - we got two mango rice and two coconut cakes. The coconut cakes were good but were about 1.5 in. X 1.5 in. The mango "sticky" rice was dry, crumbly and flavorless. I love sticky rice and this was horrible. Clearly the wrong type of rice and done incorrectly. Save your money and buy a pack of spaghetti noodles and throw it in some beef stock instead. With that said, ambiance was cute, service was decent for the stress and pressure of restaurant week. I don't like giving bad reviews, but this was just so bad!!! Having been to their sister bar, Garden Party (really good and super cute!) and seeing the Itty Bitty Buddha menu, I suggest supporting this business on the bar side only.

Nice place with interesting food. Little outdoor seating great for bringing the dog along.

Just went and was very disappointed. I ordered pho and my noodles were literally still raw and crunchy. I could not eat that at all. So gross.

When you walk in you have no idea what you are supposed to do. We waited at the window for a little while before someone took our order. Ordered the Banh Mi sandwiches and a spring roll. Were handed empty glasses and silverware. Found a place on our own to sit down. Sandwiches weren't too bad but no condiments available such as siracha. Our glasses stayed empty. Didn't see any water pitchers anywhere. There was no service. The spring roll was badly wrapped and fell apart. When home, read the receipt (the only time you have a chance is when square emails you) and found out that we were over charged. Place is way overhyped, such a hole in the wall.

The build-your-own bao was the best part! The pork belly and veggies were delicious, and we're not sure if the buns were homemade but they were good. The spam musubi was overpriced in our opinion (especially it only being one piece), and the pho was not great. The soup was a watered down, the smoked pork was dry, and the noodles were pad thai/ stir fry noodles which threw us off. Surprisingly, for a place called "Little Noodle", the noodles weren't that good, but we'd definitely come back for those bao buns.

We've had several items in several trips and they have been, without exception, delicious! Tonight at my daughter's urging I had the Tri-tip Pho-ritto (a burrito filled with the dry ingredients of a Pho, served with a cup of delicious Pho broth on the side to dip it in. Fun, Messy, Delicious!

I ordered the smoked pork pho. The broth was ok but seemed like it was missing some traditional pho spices, but the kicker was that the pork was extremely dry and came in giant chunks that I had to smash apart with the chopsticks. The meat tasted a few days old which I was not expecting for the price point. Staff was friendly enough. Air was so moist inside it was hard to breathe.

Today I took my son out for lunch. I had been here before and found it delicious. We both had banh mi sandwiches. He couldn't eat his as it was a salt bomb and over saturated with the sauces. I ate most of mine, but it dripped down my arms and front, so I didn't finish it. His bread was falling apart from so much sauce. It was as very disappointing and an expensive addition to my trash bin. I should have been more assertive and asked for at least part of my money back.

Got the pho-ritto to go, filled with all your essential pho ingredients and all tasted very good. The only thing I thought could've been better was the broth it came to dip in. It was good, just not as good as places I've had actual pho from. I'll definitely still try it again and explore the rest of the menu, staff was very friendly and very much enjoyed eating it.

Interesting. They definitely have that hipster restaurant feel to it replete with these oddly colonialist era travel posters as decor which some might find charming but I don't. Have some gimmicky items on the menu like a phorrito. It smelled good when you walked in but they don't deliver on the flavor. I had wanted to order ramen, which I saw on their menu but which wasn't listed as an option on UberEats. So We ordered pho with "tri tip". It was just a bit bland. In lieu of bean sprouts they give you chopped cabbage. No basil, just cilantro, a few sliced jalapeños, and one sad little wedge of lime. They give you linguine sized rice noodles rather than the angel hair sized and mine were a little undercooked. For $17 I expected a whole lot more. Maybe their soup dumplings, which as described on the menu, are better, but their pho was disappointing. I don't think I'll go back. I'll stick with Vina Spokane or Pho Van for my pho.
