Little Sparrow

Love their market stand, not something I can eat every week, unfortunately, but I would if I could. My favourite is their special Thanksgiving prepared dinner. In '24 we had to opt out for the first time and it hurt my soul (we couldn't bring it with us for our family gathering on Big Island). If you're here, and looking for something so special and tasty much later this year, here is your go-to!

This place came highly recommended to me by a friend who stumbled upon this place at the farmers market, and I'm so glad I gave this place a shot! This is something I never thought I'd look for, as it's German pasta. Currently, little sparrow is operating at farmers market and I think they had their first pop up event in a micro kitchen. They said they'll open an actual location soon, so I caught them at the kaka ako Saturday market. I got the poipu ($19), and it was a generous portion. The pineapple and jalepenos added a wonderful surprise to a pesto based dish, so yummy and unique. We also tried a sample of something more typical, it was chicken and mushroom. That was yummy too and a safe choice, but I'm glad I tried something different!

Went here on Wednesday night, it was amazing, had the Greek spaetzle and it was perfect, especially the braised lamb, which was absolutely incredible, no fat, little bits that were crispy, better than anything I've ever had.Then we found out they were having the grand opening of their kitchen and physical space on Friday at 3574 Waialae and went there again for that! Remembered to take pictures this time. It is the best food I've had on the island, no joke!!

We always catch them at the Wednesday farmer's market on Ward next to the Blaisdell Center.Specials. their food is very hearty. The spittle is chewy and filling and they compliment it with tasty things like bacon, kale, kalua pig...well you get it. The spittle is the blank cancass and they paint outside the lines with tasty results. The Fall bowl was a great contrast between spicy Italian sausage, kale, and a creamy vodka sauce...more vodka, please!(lol)If you're looking for something different, try Little Sparrow for a tasty and filling bowl.

Little Sparrow was at the Wednesday evening Blaisdell Farmer's Market. You know when the line is long at the farmer's market, the food is going to be good! I got the truffle mushroom spaetzle. I've never heard of spaetzle before, but if I had to describe it, it's like a fried gnocchi. I love the texture of it. The toppings that they used were of high quality, and it was definitely worth the wait in line. It was more than enough food to feed one person. The only downside of this farmer's market is that there's not many places to eat. We ended up sitting on some random steps.

I saw them at the Farmers Market on wednesdays and their booth had a really great smell coming from it, and was surprised to learn about spaetzle as a first time enjoyer. My friend and I got a few, but the truffle mushroom was definitely a stand-out ; would recommend coming with friends so you can all try their different flavors!- Miguel Morales Photography

I've always seen a long line for Little Sparrow at the Mililani Farmers Market on Sunday mornings... but I never tried their food until recently! The lady taking my order was so nice and friendly! Make me feel comfortable ordering as a first timer!I decided on their CBM which comes with Spinach lemon spaetzle, grilled chicken, mushrooms, bacon, garlic, hearty greens, house cheese blend, scallions, and paprikash sauce. The bowl was $17 and the portion was enough to feed my mom and I. It was nice and warm, savory, and cheesy! There was little cheese pulls as I was eating and that made me really happy!I can't wait to try more of their menu the next time I see them :)

This was fire. So warm, savory, and cheesy. Took like 10 minutes? Made fresh though so can't complain. It's kind of like pasta? I'm not really sure. Good if you like cheese.

As someone who grew up eating home-cooked Spätzle, I was delighted to find this place at the farmers market either Kailua on Thursday evenings or Kakako on Saturday mornings. This is especially true in O'ahu, where there isn't much German or central European food available. Food is bursting with flavor and fresh veggies toppings. Have tried all flavors, but enjoy the truffle the best. The noodles are freshly made and definitely have the right texture, flavor and composition. They would be Oma approved! Service has always been friendly and the wait time is typically 10 minutes after placing order, so don't wander off to far and make them shout your name out aimlessly.

Just had to go for my spaetzle fix and was not disappointed! The food is consistently tops. Service friendly, tasty tasty, enough variety, good quantity and quick. They have just introduced fries as well. A wonderful option at the blaisdell farmers market.
