Garland district’s Little Noodle greets you with its little food smoker near the front door, emanating aromatics of smoked pork belly, and smoked tofu. For a small place there are big aromatics giving you a thrilling taste-bud ride into culinary nirvana. The Udon Kimchi bowl had top notes of clove, followed by earthy pho broth, marinated 100-year egg added yolky depth, and messages from the chef that I’m still deciphering. Udon noodles were spot on tender - the meal felt intimate. I paired the udon bowl with a bubbly Coors beer, and left this restaurant humbled by the complexity of delight flavors and textures. This isn’t a rush-in rush-out place. Go here when you have some time to enjoy an experience that enhances your life with ancient and new aromatics that subconsciously toggle your memories and release emotions you didn’t know you were carrying.Parking: Limited parking, plenty of free parking around close by.

The food was amazing. Get the Bao buns. They smoke the meat in house and a great menu.

This was such a disappointment and I wish I could give them 0 stars. The food was made by white people for white people. Nothing authentic about this place. They couldn't even spell phở or bánh mì correctly. If you're going to appropriate a culture, at least do your research. I had the phở and the broth was subpar and the noodles were severely undercooked. Any authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Spokane will have better phở for a better price. My partner got the ramen and that was equally as disappointing. Did not taste like ramen at all. The soup was also just lukewarm when it was brought out to us.

I love this place... the food is amazing, and I've never been disappointed! I love the noodle bowl with pork belly, and the spam masubi is delicious! The craft cocktails in the Little Buddah bar are unique and flavorful. If you haven't been to this place, you are really missing out!

We went for restaurant week and spent $60 for 2 people and left hungry! Noodles tasted off and I ordered vegan but they brought my noodle bowl out with an egg on it. The tanghulu was chewy and tasted old. Super disappointing experience for a place we were looking forward to trying.

I love Little Noodle. I generally like to sit in the small bar, Itty Bitty Buddha, and enjoy a wonderful cocktail with my food. The garlic noodles and the cold soba noodles are my favorite!
Great food and service!! So glad I tried it for restaurant week. So much food! Loved it!

I absolutely adore this cute, kitschy, one of a kind restaurant. it is the opposite of vanilla, corporate and basic. if that's what you want, go to Chili's or Applebee's. The menus for food and drinks are unusual, fun and high quality. Little Noodle and Itty Bitty Buddha have become my go-to for a cool place to hang out and consume absolute deliciousness.
