    Late review! A little pricy but worth it. We unknowingly came 45 min before they closed. I appreciated that our server was so nice and didn't even mention they were closing soon. We ate quickly and were out within 25 min. While their food is not prepared in a traditional manner, it's definitely delicious and unique!!! At first I thought "this is expensive", but when we got the food, i quickly realized why. They use fresh ingredients and prepared the food with care. Everything was delicious yet healthy. Would definitely return!

    Fried rice with chicken
    Hala Hana C.

    I was on a business trip to Ojai and craving Asian flavors and ended up eating here once a day until I left--it was that good! Coming from LA, where I eat a lot of great Asian food, I wasn't expecting to be this blown away. The flavors were bold, the ingredients incredibly fresh, and the quality was top-notch. Every dish was perfectly balanced, full of depth, and made with care. If you love authentic, flavorful Asian cuisine, this place is an absolute must-try. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Ojai! The garlic noodles, summer rolls, fried rice! Can't wait to try the pho

    Kids portion fried rice
    Adanari Z.

    Overall rating: 3.5 stars We visited over Mother's Day weekend which also coincided with a heat wave so we were glad the restaurant wasn't too busy and had indoor seating options. I honestly really wanted to love this place but it was just okay. This is all based on personal preference on these dishes. The spicy garlic noodles and kid portion of the fried rice were both on the dry side. There was nothing spicy about the garlic noodles unfortunately. The only dish that genuinely got a "mmmm" from me were the spicy wontons. Again, not spicy at all but they were really flavorful. I ended up using some of that sauce on the garlic noodles to balance out some of the dryness from them. We also got the beef banh mi. We're spoiled to have grown up close to Little Saigon in SoCal and having amazing and authentic pork banh mi sandwiches so I feel it unfair to rate others we have. My husband said he would try the burger instead next time. The garlic green beans and cucumbers had a good crunch to them. I don't know which dish it was but something made my tongue slightly numb, like when you eat a lot of pineapple. Service was okay. Nothing stellar but I won't hold it against them given the unexpected heatwave. It was nice to see a consistent flow of patrons for both sit down and take out orders. The pho smelled good so I may go back to try that and other meals.

    Crêpe with shrimp
    Melissa G.

    The service was fast and friendly. The house made fizzy drinks were delicious and the food was overall fantastic. We had the crepe with shrimp, summer rolls with shrimp, the cucumbers, pea greens and garlic noodles with chicken. The crepe and summer rolls were so delicious! The cucumbers were great and even better the next day for lunch after soaking overnight. The noodles were good- could've been a bit spicier and I would have liked some crunchy garlic chilly to add. The pea green were nice and tender. We will definitely be back!

    Tofu and Mushroom Summer Rolls
    Matt J.

    Pretty much everything about Ojai Noodle House is an instant win. It's a comfortable space that is effortlessly inviting, especially the patio. The decor is thoughtfully considered but not fussy. The service is efficient and friendly. And the food has precise flavors that are powerful but light. Lots of veggie options on a well marked menu! The summer rolls were a strong mix of ingredients that paired well with a delicious dipping vinaigrette which is a solid departure from the typical peanut sauce. Overall it's a super welcome addition to the Ojai Valley dining scene that is a cut above other newcomers.

    Spicy Ojai pixie
    Jamie M.

    I really liked this place! I split a cold noodle salad (dan?) with my dad. The raw vegetables were delicious and fresh, and since he wanted the mushroom and tofu option, they were fried and delicious with a meaty texture. I also tried a spicy Ojai pixie drink. The service was quick because we were one of the first people in there on a Sunday. The waiter/host was helpful in explaining the food and the restaurant setup. The inside of the restaurant was dark and old-style like a tavern with a huge bar, and the outside was a beautiful, comfortable patio. I'm excited we tried this restaurant and look forward to trying more food.

    ***** An exceptional lunch experience on a Sunday afternoon. Started with a bright, cheery, pleasant greeting by Izzy as we entered the warm comfortable space. Leonard, behind the bar, created a nice citrus cocktail* for my wife and provided tableside service. We enjoyed a sampling of entrees and appetizers...each prepared perfectly. We'll return soon. * non - alcohol cocktail Serving beer, wine and Sake on my right now

    Pho
    Verenice S.

    I'm only giving this place a 3 star because of customer service and the ambiance. The food on the other hand, was just NOT it for me, the flavors and taste didn't marry well with my taste buds. I believed the Pho broth to be VERY greasy, usually when I ask for chili oil I get a crunch chili oil, in this place they are very literal lol its JUST oil which took me by surprise. Nevertheless the CS was phenomenal, the ambiance was quite nice, even though you could hear cars passing by and honking at each other every other second. I would love to comeback here but i highly doubt i will. I'm grateful to live FAR from this city cause the food around there is definitely made for locals only. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this or any restaurant in Ojai so far. The restaurants I've been to in that city always lack either flavor or CS, or in some cases Both. This place was a miss for me due to the food.

    I got the pho beef sandwich on rye. There was only one customer before me so I was surprised to wait about 20 minutes for the sandwich. Inside seating is limited and it was noisy with the bar and music and people coming in to order at the counter. Much more spacious outdoor area. Unfortunately, the auto shop across the street was making a lot of banging noise. I moved inside to eat. My sandwich was tasty, however, the meat was unevenly heated with part of the meat actually cold. Since a small serving of broth came with it, I ended up dipping the sandwich meat in it to warm it up. The broth had a strong star anise taste. I am glad I ordered when I did because the place filled up with school kids it got really noisy and I bet the wait for ordering and getting food stretched to over 30 minutes at minimum for the newly arrived.

    Food is delicious! There are many GF options, too. I especially enjoy the indoor ambiance. The service makes it an even better experience.

    For a place with noodle in the name they sure have some work to do on their spicy noodle dish. Way overcooked. Spicy mush at a hefty price.

The dressing/sauce that goes on it was tangy but bland. The noodles were cooked ok. I was expecting a flavor similar to a Vietnamese Noodle bowl and it was not. The chicken Karage.... Was dry and some pieces were just batter no chicken , very hard. Not the usual crispy outside and moist and tender inside. Felt like these were fried too long or refried various times. Small portions. The pickles were okay again no flavor other then sour/tangy. The cucumber pickled in the set tasted spoiled. Didn't eat those. Overall left disappointed.

    Little Sama Ojai!…read more Took the wife here thinking to share a dish and order small things before the drive back to the OC. Oh we left filled! Located inside the Topa Topa Brewing Company, as soon as you walk in you will see the tap bar, to the left you'll see where you place your order for Little Sama, even more to the left is the food menu. It was very tempting to try a beer from Topa Topa since it was our first time at both these locations, but also our first time in Ojai, but man the heat destroyed me (when does it not) and I knew the beer would just make me even more hot and bloated too. We were at the location on a Thursday late afternoon, not too many people, few people coming in and getting either their after work brew or shoot maybe one before their shift starts. It was happy hour for Little Sama which we took advantage with one of the dishes which I will discuss in a bit. Plenty of seating inside and outside, as well as two unisex bathrooms, to the right side of the bar. The girl working was very helpful on giving us good recommendations which we went with: Okonomiyaki Tots (Happy Hour Item) - Now most places when they have happy hour and these items are on there, its usually like half the portion or something, they gave us a lot, so I am curious what does the non-happy hour order look like. One thing for sure is I am super glad they gave us this much because these were bomb and dangerous. The tater tots were fried perfectly that it held its crunch even with the Okonomi Sauce and kewpie mayo. I usually don't care for pickled cabbage but that perfectly balanced the whole dish that I found myself poking the cabbage and spinning it like spaghetti, then making sure it stays in place by capping it with two tots. Damn delish! Korean Fried Cauliflower - This is to this date, the best fried cauliflower dish I have had, actually lets expand that to the best cauliflower dish I have had. Again perfectly fried where you had a little bit of a crunch but still had the nice pillow-whe feel of the cauliflower. That sauce though! It was so damn good I obviously finished the dish, but at the end my fat boy habits came out and I scraped the whole plate so all the sauce would combine again so I could use the last of the two cauliflower and drench em down! Can I get this some how over here to the OC PLEASE! Top Sirloin Katsu Sando - I don't know how they did this not only were they keeping the crisp of the sandwich along with the katsu, they didn't clash to where it was just to crunchy, they blended so well together. That miso garlic cabbage slaw just really put everything together into just a umami explosion in the mouth. The Krupuk chips were delicious, I was going to knock a star off my review because either they weren't fried all the way or maybe that could just be the chip themselves, but do check your chips, sometimes in the center is a very hard part while surrounding it is the regular chip like texture. The wife bit into it and the shock of not expecting that hard texture, irritated that side of the jaw for a bit. In conclusion as mentioned above I started off with a 4 star review because of the chip, but that was the only thing. I just think putting out that delicious food, having one of those dishes being the best I have had, it deserved a 5 star from me. Imagine enjoying the beer which without a doubt would have some that pair nicely with each dish! This restaurant will be one of those ones that will make it hard to try anything else in Ojai. Why? Being our first time in Ojai, it is hard to say when is the next time we will return, but when we do, why would I try any other place out when I can finally try this place again!
