Chive dumpling
Anshita S.

Tried Little Spoon Thai Kitchen for the first time and it was just okay overall. The veggie dumplings were fine, but the chive dumplings were way too oily and not very appetizing. The Kao Soi had potential but was overpowered by one strong herb -- maybe lemongrass -- so it was hard to taste or smell much else. The lo mein was fine, very mild in flavor, which actually worked well for little kids but felt a bit bland for adults. Not a bad meal, but nothing that stood out enough to make me want to go back soon.

I love Little Spoon for delicious Thai food every time. Takeout portions are generous, as are dine-in portions. Service is friendly and prompt.

Masaman curry
Payal P.

The food was really good here! This is an extremely vegan friendly restaurant! The scallion pancakes and vegetable dumplings were very good. I don't usually like pad thai, but the pad thai was good, too. The drunken noodles, and masaman curry were excellent! It's cute inside, didn't feel too cramped.

3.5-4/5 decent Thai restaurant for the area location. Tried their Kao Sai Beef dish, beef was slightly overcooked and the noodles were as well but the flavor is good. The wings were delicious. The pork dumplings were lightly pan fried and tasted great. The spicy eggplant was more on the spicy side so thank Goodness it came with rice. Great location with street parking and nice service and decor.

A very pretty restaurant and the utensils/plates used are adorable. The dishes themselves were pretty yummy, although the appetizer was alright (a little overpriced for what we got). I enjoyed the veggies in my pad thai, normally I don't like carrots but the way they cooked had it full of the pad thai flavor.

Black & Pepper Fish
Elias G.

This place is a nice spot in Needham. The staff are always friendly and I'm never disappointed by the food. I got the Black & Pepper fish, which is basically a battered fried fish stirfry. The fish was cooked well, but the star of the dish are the fresh peppercorns; they pop and add a vibrancy to the plate that I haven't found elsewhere in Boston so far. We also got 2 Thai ice teas, and got 2 free popsicles with them. We'll be back!

Thai Ice Tea w/ Popsicle

Little spoon is an absolute pleasure! Yummy food, nice atmosphere. Be aware they do get busy and it can be hard to get in and service does slow when they get busier. Try a Thai iced tea popsicle w ur Thai ice tea!

Drunken noodles with tofu
Jessica R.

I've gotten takeout from here before but dined in the restaurant for the first time last night. I love the decor and ambiance and with the back room, it's a lot more spacious than it appears. The waitress was very prompt and friendly. I appreciated how the menu was clearly labeled with what's vegan/can be made vegan. We started with the tom kha soup which was creamy and rich and flavor. We also got the scallion pancakes as a starter and I love how they aren't dripping in oil but are still tasty. I also enjoyed the drunken noodles with tofu and the yellow curry with tofu. Both were spicy but not overly hot. I also love how they fried the tofu in both these dishes. I will definitely be back!

Very solid Thai food, great for the Boston suburbs. The coconut shrimp and crispy mango chicken were particularly good.

Whether it's the noodle dishes, soups, or apps, they've all got their own individual vibes for the occasion/season. Most recently, we've had their skewers (which pair well with their house sauces), as well as their fried salmon and beef stew noodle soup. While they've all got their quirks, I'd say that everything would go well when paired with a drink - especially with how all the flavors and textures meld well with one another, and still are neither too overwhelming nor too heavy for what they are. Would come back again for sure!

Service was friendly. Unfortunately, I really didn't like what I ordered…read more I got the Pla (fish) with vegetables, and it was too salty for me and didn't have another clear flavor in its favor. There wasn't a strong ginger or garlic essence like I'm used to in a Thai brown gravy. My friends seemed happy with their curries though...so maybe I just ordered wrong. On Sunday, they have a very strong takeout business, which also impacted the ambience. At one point there were like six people waiting in line at the entrance. In such a small establishment, it changes the vibe to have people hovering and getting impatient and clarifying orders, with the frequent entrance/exit of new patrons. Our table was closest to the entrance so we probably "felt" it more than other tables would have. Still, for the "mom's night out" space that we were cultivating, I would've preferred to pay more to go someplace that had less of a takeout vibe. Note: there is only one all-gender restroom and it is for customer use only. Free parking out front.

The salad is always crisp & fresh, and the meat has always been moist. I love that you can customize everything to your liking, from building your own bowl to choosing a light or heavy pour on the dressing. They have a great selection of toppings, dressings, and proteins, including plenty of plant-based and dairy-free options, making it perfect for anyone with dietary needs. The portion sizes are solid and the prices are pretty reasonable for the high quality you receive. While service can sometimes be a bit slow, it is only because it gets super busy during the 2-hours around lunch. Easily solved by ordering ahead. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The restaurant itself is bright, open, and clean, and there's an outdoor patio when the weather permits. I've had many of their salads, wraps, drinks, and snacks.. Haven't yet had anything I don't like!

House of Noodles has become one of my favorite comfort food spots, especially in the winter. There…read moreis something magical about being handed a steaming hot clay pot instead of a plastic takeout container (microplastics, no thanks). It reminds me a little of the old Shine's Fresh Asian in Belmont, except somehow cozier and a little more elevated. If you're looking for a place for a big group, this probably won't work. Most of the seating is bar-style facing a beautiful Chinese-inspired wallpaper. However, if you're eating solo, or with one other person, I think it's one of the best places around. There's something incredibly peaceful about settling in with a hot bowl of noodle soup while the clay pot keeps everything piping hot on a cold, snowy winter's day. The menu has so many different soups and hand-pulled noodles that I keep telling myself I'm going to branch out. In fact, I *thought* I had branched out...until my food arrived and I realized I had accidentally ordered the exact same dish I'd gotten the last time. Apparently my subconscious knows what it's likes. The culprit? The clay pot rice noodle soup with pork, Spam, chives, carrots, napa cabbage, baby bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, quail egg, tomato, green onions, and soy sauce. That is an absurd amount of yummy goodness packed into one bowl, and honestly, I can't even be mad at myself for ordering it twice. Could you get it to go? Sure. I've certainly done it before, but I think this is one of those meals that's meant to be eaten there. The clay pot keeps everything hot, the noodles stay just right, and the whole experience feels comforting in a way that doesn't quite survive a car ride home. I sincerely hope House of Noodles stays in Newton for a very long time. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant that quietly becomes part of your routine, and I'm really glad it's here.

Fast casual style where you order on a tablet and the food it brought to your spot on the counter if you're dining in. Seems to be a popular spot for take out even during weekend lunch. Food was prepared fresh and served rather quickly. The pork gyoza was crispy and the wrapper was light, good snack or appetizer option. The hot and sour noodles were decent but not as sour as i expected. Still comforting and filling and I'd order it again as the price is quite fair. They have an extensive menu and I'm curious to try more of their food.
