Editorial Review for Little World – by Barbara Schmeitt
The Scene
Not a typical Salt Lake City Chinese restaurant. In the corner, a display of barbecued chicken and duck hangs waiting for buyers--like something you'd see in San Francisco's Chinatown.
The Food
The menu is divided into two parts, with familiar dishes on the opening pages. The second half begins with an eat-if-you-dare warning with specialties for those willing to venture to a place where "ingredients may seem strange or unfamiliar." Main courses all have fresh and seasonal vegetables. Shrimp dumplings with beef stew and egg noodle soup is a good opportunity to sample many flavors in one satisfying serving. On the traditional menu, shrimp balls have a wonderful texture and soft shrimp flavor. For an entree, big slices of carrot and long cayenne peppers accent the hot and sweet flavors of General Tso's chicken.

So what, it's a little dingy and it's a dive, the food is great and you can't beat the prices. So if your uptight about things not looking like the hilton, it's not for you. It's a small place that is always crowded and people constantly getting take out. There hasn't been one thing we tried on the menu that was bad, the service is prompt and yes, the waiters aren't very outgoing, but you just can't get that good of Chinese food anywhere around here.
Pros: Great food, great prices, fast service
Cons: it could be cleaner

Little World is a run down, dirty little place, but I have returned time and time again for the food. Excellent, authentic Chinese. My recommnedation is to take the food to go and eat at home or have a Chinese takeout picnic. Definitely worth a try!
Pros: Delicious chinese food
Cons: Dumpy restaurant
