Little Purse Dumplings? More like Little Purse Lies! I remember years ago this place having the fire dumplings and delicious food... how has it fallen! They only serve two choices of really bad gyoza (that cut my mouth) and burnt shrimp "dumplings" now. Place is overpriced for the quality but does have good drink choices, honestly ok ramen, and giant TVs to watch the game on a layover. There's better places at the airport. read more

Meh. Overpriced and really small portions. I didn't want ramen since a lot of people left uneaten ramen at the tables. I ordered the fried veggie dumpling and the shrimp and chicken steamed dumplings. You literally get 5 pcs of each. Rip off. Not even 8. They should not bathe the steamed dumplings in soy sauce. It made it very salty. And I did not taste shrimp. The fried veggie dumplings were decent. Sauce was to the side. Service was ok. read more

Horrible service! My family landed in Houston airport at 7:30pm on 8/15. Once we walked in, no one greeted us with only stares from the bar tender. We found our own table and heard whispers between the sever and bar tender saying that "he was a jerk." Obviously he was talking about being a jerk to us. We continue to be ignored and not acknowledged while my kids are hungry. There was only one other family eating there. I think this business has horrible reviews because of their poor quality of service. Please hire more competent and caring employees if you're in the food and service industry. I ended up just walking out without a word and they only smiled. First time in Houston and this is Ridiculous!!!! read more

So I was traveling and had severe cold during the last day. Had a layover here but landed in terminal D and craving for some hot and sour soup/miso ramen- anything that will make me feel better for my cold. This place is in terminal C and we walked all the way from terminal D to get some nice soothing lunch. Ordered a miso ramen soup and a noodle bowl. Both were so good and it helped a lot with my cold. Service was great too and the ambience was clean. read more

I walked all the way from Terminal D to Terminal C just to get some good Asian food was indeed worth the long walk. It wasn't a regular pick up and leave kind of restaurant but a proper dine-in restaurant with cozy ambiance. My order: Miso soup Veggie ramen Glad they had veggie options. After a long travel, it was so soothing to have the veggie ramen. I didn't add the tofu but the ramen was great by itself. Also, loved the miso soup. The ramen tasted so good with the stir friend veggies. Service was on-time and they didn't let us wait long. read more

I had a bit of time to burn at the airport before my flight so decided to grab some food to eat. The options at IAH are not very impressive so decided to just stop in to Little Purse. Overall, the service was great, the food was mediocre, and there was a good amount of seating with plenty of charging ports at the bar. Food came out in about 10-15 minutes so if you're in a crunch, Little Purse is not bad. The server was very attentive and made sure my water was full the entire time I was there. He was also very personable. The miso soup was actually pretty decent with a good amount of tofu and good level of saltiness. The BBQ beef bowl was disappointing. Kimchi was decent but the rice was old and clumpy and the beef itself was marinated with what tasted like canned bean sauce. The prices were on the higher side for what was provided but honestly not that bad. read more

Went Wednesday July 8th. You have to pay a top upfront. Never saw the waitress again. Don't go.

Typical airport food-just ok and overpriced. I had the Marinated Beef Rice Bowl...Meh. Server was attentive. I found a quiet corner where I partially charged both my iPhone and my kindle. (Really slow charge). read more

Horrible food. Too salty, vegetables were not even boiled . Save your money even if you are starving . Service was ok.

We had flown from Miami to IAH. Here we were supposed to have a two-hour layover but because of weather elsewhere affected flights, we only had 45 minutes. Our inbound gate was only two gates from our outbound gate. We quickly looked up a map of the airport and were heading to a Panda Express when we saw Little Purse. A quick glance at the menu and we spoke to a server. The important question was that we had exactly 25 minutes until boarding (if it started on time). The server told us that they could get us in and out on time and to have a seat. We ordered Tonkatsu Ramen, Egg Rolls, a Diet Coke and a glass of water. She did her job and tried to upsell me to a small bottle of water that I could take onto the plane but I passed on that. The drinks came first, then the Ramen and finally the Egg Rolls. Yes, everything was delivered in time, but we had to eat in a hurry, making it less enjoyable. I should have asked to have the order to go, annoying everyone else on the plane. While there was a QR Code for ordering, the server took our order. She then asked for my phone number and a credit card. When she told me the total, I asked her how she had arrived at that amount. Somehow $50 seemed a bit high. She explained to me that the system "automatically added a 15% gratuity" but that I was welcome to change it. The food was passable but certainly not gourmet. The service was minimal. The value is simply not there even after considering that this is an airport location, and the rent is mostly likely very expensive. Charging $14.95 for 3 small Egg Rolls served with Blue Cheese Dressing is outrageous and disgusting. The Pork in my Ramen was sliced too thick and was chewy. They should be embarrassed. I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry that I hadn't read the reviews before entering. read more

Do not eat here. For the love of god please take my word for it. The broth is literally hot water with soy sauce. The place was cute and staff were friendly but that's it. Worst food I've ever eaten. read more

Little Purse - Tonkotsu Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

This small restaurant is conveniently located in the airport at the intersection heading to Terminal E and the C gates (C34 and above). Ordering is flexible--you can scan a QR code, use a paper menu, or check the TV monitor. Just be aware: if you're looking at the monitor, there are no prices listed, which makes it hard to know what you're getting into. We ordered the siomai and a bowl. The food came out quickly, but the quality was disappointing. The siomai were hard and really small for the price, and everything was overly salty. We understand airport pricing is usually high, but this just wasn't worth it. Another downside: when it was time to pay, an 18% tip was already added automatically with no option to change it. For a quick-service spot, that didn't feel appropriate. Fast service and a convenient location aren't enough to make up for the quality and pricing. read more

You'll never have a great ambience whenever it comes to airport restaurants,but hey for what it's worth the vibes are there. The environment changes walking in. Now hear me out, airport ramen. Almost sounds the equivalent to gas station sushi, but it was actually not that bad. The miso was spiced and seasoned very well, the tofu were in good size cubes, which I love tofu so yay for that. The broth in the ramen was fantastic and everything was made together greatly. Now in terms of pricing. It's on the pricier side. And I wish there was more noodles in the bowl. The service overall was fantastic though. The guy who helped me out had a good smile and didn't mind helping out when needed. But, I like noodles, and I think with how the price was, It should've came with more. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite during a layover. Each seat has a QR code for quick ordering - not a huge fan of paying (and tipping) before service but that's the deal. Food and drink came out quickly. Ramen was flavorful and the broth wasn't too hot. Char siu was fatty and meaty at the same time. I did get extra noodles ($1.10) which filled me up for the rest of my travels. It's nice to have a decent spot to eat at the airport- fast food with good service. read more

Nice place. Actually reasonably priced. But the slider was not that good. The spicy sauce over powered the chicken that I could really taste the chicken. read more

Good food fast. And the waiter was awesome. I know that is an airport, but it was a pricey

Food was salty and definitely not worth the price even if it is in the airport. Also, you order your own food via barcode which wouldn't be bad but the internet service is spotty throughout the restaurant making it impossible to order. Then you get greeted by waitstaff after you've moved yourself to a different lotion and half way in the middle of ordering your own food. Waitstaff didn't even have a good personality so these kinds of times makes it really hard to tip well let alone tip at all. Also, the portion is really small so if you're remotely hungry, this isn't the place. I ordered shrimp and chicken dumplings. Sounds yummy, right? Well, the sauce was very salty (and I like salt) and it had five very little dumplings for $16.99! read more

Little Purse - Chicken and shrimp dumplings (I ate 2 of them). Sauce super salty and dumplings were extremely small. All for $16.99! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

Good food, good service and a nice place to sit down. At first, I felt like it was a little expensive, but then I got my portion, and some people were saying the portions were small, but I actually had so much smoked salmon on my sandwich that I was very impressed and felt like it was fair had plenty of the other toppings as well. Five dollars is a little steep for black coffee but it is the airport. Service was awesome. They were super attentive, even with people coming in and out, and I noticed they were attentive with everyone not just me. read more

The ramen we had was great. It definitely was not the service we expected as you order through a QR code. If you are on a company card - heads up - ask for the receipt right there otherwise it will be a hassle to receive it. The ambiance was all right, definitely a quiet part of the loud airport. The boiled eggs were a highlight of the ramen bowl. The noodles were delicious and just the right consistency. The cucumber added the perfect touch of crunch to the bowl. I did - however - have to ask for chili oil on the side to get an actual flavor off of the broth. Once you add the chili oil, it makes for the perfect ramen. When we did ask for the chili oil they took quite a long while to attend to us - both times. read more

Shumai dumplings are terrible. Tastes like spongey meat. I took one bite and just couldn't eat anymore. Chicken ship ramen was ok but broth was salty. Grilled chicken in it was dry. Noodles overcooked. The made me pay when I placed the order and add tip before I got my food or anything more like fast food even there was table service. Super awkward. Don't recommend eating here read more

Small restaurant in terminal C. Airport food is never great so I didn't have high expectations but this meal was OK. I got the beef rice bowl. The portion was huge but the bowl itself was kind of plain. It had rice, beef, and kimchi... I wish it came with other toppings. The kimchi was too expensive so I only ate the rice and beef. The flavor wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. I would not come back here. The staff were nice and attentive. read more

I ordered breakfast to go at this restaurant, while waiting for my food I sat down. I was informed that I needed to sit in another area, I sat in the corner at the bar then I was told I couldn't sit there. This place was not busy there were more seats than customers. I travel for work often and I will never order food from here again. This place does not treat people like customers. After ordering food from this establishment you should be able to at least wait for your food there. If this is the policy at this restaurant it is terrible service. Not a pleasant experience being told you can't sit at a restaurant where you have PAID for food. read more

I initially was excited to try this place for some time with the name and decor, usually just walking past Little Purse to catch a flight at IAH. I finally tried it. This has to be the saddest looking $20 dish of dumplings I've ever had, especially given the rich asian heritage in Houston. I ordered the pork and leak dumping, standard stuff, was slightly surprised by the ~$15 price tag adding to around $20 with tax and tip. The dumplings were fried to a dry crisp - soy sauce was very salty. I would not be surprised if they are unpacking frozen walmart (not even costco) dumplings in the kitchen and just deep frying them like french fries. Would I Recommend to Try?

I finally made it to this little spot in the center of Terminal C. I've passed by it numerous times but didn't have the time for it. It's designed to be quick, but can be slower if it's busy there. They don't handle cash, or payments as all ordering is done in a tablet at tables or the bar seating. There are no asians working here, at least not during my visit. I went with the Korean chicken sliders, pork and leek dumplings and iced tea. Dumplings are slightly spicy since they're in a chili oil. Sliders are just chicken tenders slathered in a Korean BBQ sauce and small even tho the bun is delicious and large. The menu is a little misleading and confusing.....the posted one at the entrance versus the one you view on your phone. Posted one looks like they have more items, and when you view on phone, there are many different sections so your eyes play tricks on you. I heard this same comment from the patrons sitting next to me at the bar. But indeed, it's literally the same menu. Overall, this is an alright option in the airport. Their location is certainly prime. I still feel this is airport food though, just slightly better. read more

Super high unreasonable price. 5 small pork and veggie dumpling cost you 16 dollar, one small miso soup cost 7 dollar. You need to scan to order.

And you are required to pay first before you can get any food. Even water. 3 Spring roll also charge 16 dollars! Don't eat here! read more

Yikes. Stepping off the plane for a long layover nothing could have looked better than the Little Purse Dumpling Den. I was sadly disappointed with almost every step of the experience, however, and do not recommend. We were not greeted at the door or sitting down, even though it was not busy. The food was wildly over-priced, which I was willing to overlook because airport. However, when the food came out it tasted un-done. Like, taken out of a package and run through a broiler and sent to the table un-done. Waters came later, to two of us (4 in our party). No napkins or plates to share our dumplings and edamame and bulgogi fries. The table was clean when we sat down, that was nice. Otherwise, it was the most underwhelming experience I've ever had in an airport. Do not recommend. read more

I was SO excited to eat here! Dumplings on the go while passing through Houston? Sign Me Up! But when I arrived their ordering system was very cumbersome and not as intuitive as I think it was hoping to be. It just went downhill from there as the food was sub par and not as high end as it presents itself. Noodles were overcooked, the fried rice was over seasoned and the dumplings were clearly made frozen and weren't good in the end. I was really disappointed in this place and was hoping for more that just never came in the end. read more

Good little spot! Fast and friendly service. Latonya made sure we were well taken care of!

Worst food poisoning of my life. I should have known better, the ramen was cold, very greasy, and the egg looked off. Ordering extra veggies = extra raw cucumber. read more

I'm not sure why people are hating on this place as much as they are, but it's not bad! I had the Tonkotsu Ramen which was perfectly fine, and the service was quite good. Is it a bit expensive?

Food and service was incredible ! Exceeded expectations (as low food quality expected in airport for a high price). Spicy ramen, veg dumplings, and fried rice was super yummy- I would choose to eat here if this restaurant was in my home town. Very friendly staff and was pretty quick . Not sure why such terrible reviews. (I definitely have high food standards- especially when you're paying a fortune) read more

The saddest fried rice I have ever had... and for $27 I feel like I was robbed. It was lukewarm, tasteless, and truly worse than a Panda Express. They didn't even serve water with the meal. The only redeeming quality was that service was fast... I fear that means the food I just sitting out pre-prepared. Wish me luck on not getting food poisoning. read more

The food was a disgrace. I wish I had read reviews before sitting down to eat. The ramen was competing with the tap water for who will win the tasteless award .

The worse ramen ever. The ramen is over-cooked so it's mushy. The soup stock is bland like water. The ground meat is also over-cooked. The egg is just plain boiled egg. Any instant ramen can taste way better than this. After three bites I had to leave to go to another restaurant to have lunch. Really terrible. read more

Dumpling restaurant with no dumplings? Got pulled in for the dumplings and uh.... They didn't have any. Kind of weird. I guess I went to a pizza place once that didn't have any dough... Saw some girls eating ramen so thought I would settle for that. Thought maybe I was too dumb to navigate the fancy iPad ordering system but don't worry it wasn't me! They didn't have any ramen other. The only menu item they had on the menu was fried rice (20 bucks with tip ) they don't give you an option not to tip even tho there's no service because everything is automated. Fried rice was 3 out of 5 stars. Portion size was pitiful for a grown adult man (GAM) like myself but it tasted decent I suppose. Only redeeming value was I'm the proximity to my gate, fast service (which is easy I suppose if you have a single menu item) and the waitress who was fairly apologetic. read more

Ramen this bad should be against laws. Sorry. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment to try ramen in an airport terminal... let alone in Houston TX. Also.. the blue rim of the bowl with tons of white chips- either they DGAF about presentation or they need to retire some of their bowls. Very disappointing. I should have just had a dumpling. If you are inexperienced ramen head or have never had ramen or don't have teeth and can only slurp meals.. then this could work for you. read more
