If you deleted a note from the Notes app, it would be located in the Recently Deleted Folder, unless it has been more than 30 days since you deleted it.

Are you using Notes in iCloud, or just on your device? If on your device, if you have a backup that was made when the note was on the device, you can try restoring the iPhone to that backup and see if the note is restored.
