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! read more

Took a friend to Ojai who had never been before and we found this little spot tucked away in a small plaza. Very chill and the servers were so nice (my friend loved their playlist and they shared it with her on Spotify lol). We started off with drinks, my friend tried a nonalcoholic one, and ended up ordering one to go because she liked it so much! I am a sucker for a noodle salad and that is exactly what I got, it was so good, and huge! If you're in town and looking for a chill place and tasty bites, this is your place. read more

Ojai Noodle House - Noodles Near Me - Ojai, California

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

Food was flavorless, overpriced, and not authentic. The burger was tiny and the grilled onions were cold. Would not recommend!

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 read more

Every visit we try something new and are always delighted with the flavors and quality of the dishes. Great service and lively patio.

Beef pho was terrific. One of the best broths I think I've ever had. Great service. A real gem in this area (Ojai and environs) Looking forward to going again and trying something different on the menu. read more

The staff were very nice and the ambiance was lovely. But there is no way what we ate was worth $100 (without drinks). I quite enjoyed the pho although the meat portion seemed small. On the other hand, the garlic noodles were overcooked and somehow lacking in flavor, the popcorn chicken was rough, and the kids burger was good but way overpriced. read more

Great food. Lovely patio. Nice people there. Will definitely return. Yummy drinks too.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Ojai Noodle House - Tofu and Mushroom Summer Rolls - Noodles Near Me - Ojai, California

I ordered the garlic noodles with mushroom and tofu for takeout and wow, were these flavorful. I absolutely love the chewy texture of the noodles, the rich garlic flavor and the way the mushrooms and tofu soak up all the sauce. This really hit the spot for me. I also tried my brother's garlic noodles, which he added beef to, and these were absolutely delicious as well. I loved how soft and tender the beef was, and it really absorbed all the yummy chili garlic flavors as well. If this is how good takeout is, I can only imagine how amazing their food is when it's fresh. read more

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. read more

***** 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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you know, you know. Delicious food, great drinks & service. It's always packed for a reason people.

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 meat portions in Pho declined greatly. you hardly get any meat anymore:// The meat portions in Pho declined greatly. you hardly get any meat anymore:// read more

I ate here during my short stay in Ojai. The Pho with short ribs and flank steak was perfect. Staff was nice. It was busy but not over crowded on a Friday night. The outdoor covered patio was a bit chilly in the rain. read more

I was disappointed to discover that they have a different menu for lunch so I was not able to try the garlic noodle or the fried rice for my boys. So, for people who are coming in from out of town, they only have their full menu for dinner. I am hoping to prevent some disappointment by providing this review on Yelp. Of what we did get though the food was pretty good. We tried their flat noodle and smash burgers. The flat noodle definitely has a kick so be warned and their smash burgers are good so I would recommend if you are not sure what to get. read more

I picked up some take out after a full day of scuba diving with my spouse in the Channel Islands. Very tasty. If I'm ever in Ojai again, I'll be returning to dine in. read more

We love Ojai Noodle House. The pho broth is as authentic and delicious as I've ever tasted (admittedly I've never been to Vietnam!), and the flavors and herbs used in all the dishes are vibrant and enjoyable. Great service, good prices and a cool atmosphere. Inside is one world, and patio is another. Ask for an extra "Pho Kit" if you want more basil, jalapeño and bean sprout. I have to get the small portion of Pho if I want to have room for any of the wonderful starters. The fresh rolls and the spicy dumplings are both great. They even do an awesome burger. Try it out! read more

My wife and I were visiting Ojai and wanted something healthy and delicious. This place did not disappoint. Actually, it bested my expectations. My wife had the pho and it was was delicious! Full of flavor and absolutely delightful. (I later met the owner in parking lot and learned that his mother in law is Vietnamese and helps in the kitchen). I had a flat noodle dish with chicken, and it was just as delicious as the pho. It had the perfect amount of spice. I noted some tiny, dark pink peppers (unsure what kind) that were spicy but not overwhelming. The service was great. We opted for outdoor seating. It was chilly outside and the staff was quick to light up the patio heat lamps. Dogs are welcomed as well. They have some beer and wine that I'd like to enjoy upon my next visit. Can't wait! read more

Excellent food and good prices. Try their chicken salad and beef pho. The portions are generous and good quality.

By far the best pho I have had in such a long time. Typically I'll order to go and enjoy at home and it tastes just as good as it would in house. I have been here multiple times and every time I'm left speechless! Great service and a nice patio to enjoy if you're dining in. read more

So happy to see this place open in Ojai. I've been twice now and had the best experience both times. It's definitely my favorite restaurant in Ojai. The vibe and ambiance remind me of Williamsburg or East LA but hidden away in our very own Meiners Oaks. The staff were so attentive and friendly, they really made me feel at home. Great music selection too. Such an incredible and welcome addition to our local neighborhood.  The first time I went I had the Banh Mi and Shoestring Fries. The Banh Mi was delicious and reminded me of the real deal in Vietnam. They nailed the simplicity and authentic taste of a real Banh Mi. The fries and homemade dipping sauce are also delicious (and the fries are made from real potatoes because I asked). I had a Sky Duster lager which worked perfectly with this dish as it was crisp and refreshing.  The second time I went I decided to dive straight into the Pho. This was honestly the best Pho I have ever had. It was fresh and had the perfect balance. The broth was just incredible. This dish alone will pull people in from all over Ventura County and LA. I had a Fort Point Yuzu beer which went with this dish perfectly.  So excited that the Ojai Noodle House is finally open and serving our local hood. You'll see me propping up the bar a few nights a week for sure :) read more

The best tasting Phở I've ever had in my life. Nice friendly service, the owner was present in the dining room, and the ambiance, background music and food was simply delicious. Very reasonably priced, and the beer, wine and sake options were good. The only area for improvement I can think of is the Phở kit was a little sparse. I needed to ask for more basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño and hoisin. Madeline happily brought some, so still 5 stars. Just awesome. My new favorite spot in Ojai/Meiners Oaks/Oak View area. A++ Next time: banh mi! read more

FINALLY! An amazing restaurant comes to the main corner of Mo-town. I've been waiting years for something good to be here. Every seat was filled, and rightfully so. First, the service. Incredible. The best I've seen in Meiners Oaks. Then came the food. They aren't doing to-go food until January, which I understand. I had the pho and spicy noodles. The flavors were fantastic, just the right amount of spice and so flavorful. It came out quickly, which surprised me for the restaurant being so full...and they just opening yesterday! Prices were moderate and on point for our neighborhood. Good wine and beer offerings (I had the Chenin Blanc from Lie Dit, a personal favorite). Beautiful design, both inside and outside. I can't say enough good things. Way to go Ojai Noodle House, see you 3-5 nights a week. read more

This was the worst dining experience I've ever had. We asked for water when they first greeted us and throughout the entire time i never received it. It seems as though they forgot about us entirely since they were refilling the table next to us twice (same server). We never got checked up on or asked if we needed anything. My Vietnamese coffee came mid meal. I also got a bug in my food. We didn't even finish the meal and we started feeling sick. Would not recommend and definitely never coming back. This is one of those places that looks nice but lacks everything else. read more

I've lived in and around this town for 20 years. My biggest gripe was that if you wanted any type of food with flavor that wasn't Mexican food - you were screwed. I have driven to ventura too many times gripping the wheel with anger bc Ojai only had 3-4 casual restaurants. Everyone now complains how "LA" Ojai has become, but if it means more joints like ONH, then pave the f****g 101 freeway right through this quiet little hippy town and make it a drive through. The food was A+. The hostess was very nice (even though she looked like she graduated from the tv version of "Malibu High School 90025"). She got us a great table and told us to order the "purple beer and French fries." Are French fries traditional Vietnamese food? No. Were they delicious ? We ordered a plate and then ordered another. So as of today, French fries with spicy mayo are officially Vietnamese - incredible. The waiter told us to order the shaking beef, which I didn't see on the menu. My daughter and gf ordered the bahn Mi. Ever had a "meh" banh mi? I have. I now live in Boston where they serve food for white people who like no flavor in their food. Not this joint! It was killer, but not nearly as good as my beef dish. It was four star. We sat outside - but the inside vibe of this place made it feel like a nightclub waiting to happen but without the sh*t music. It was perfectly lit and I plan to come back and sit at the bar and hammer large asahi's and hang with the locals. I don't understand their "ph jai?" bumper sticker - but that was the only thing that didn't make sense at this great little restaurant . Two thumbs up. Five stars. I love this place. read more
