A friend referred me and I'm so glad she did. This was absolutely the best Chinese food I have had since returning to Little Rock. The staffs very friendly. I love the containers for their to-go orders not the Styrofoam that leeks. Just look at my photos it will say enough... will definitely go back.;) read more

Decent Cantonese style Chinese food, large portions, reasonably priced. We are Asian so the food tasted very " Americanized" to us, but that's to be expected I guess in this location (I mean it's not in a Chinatown area). It was OK but there wasn't anything memorable, we had the duck, wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp. read more

Let me start by saying I love A.W. Lin's however I left tonight feeling like I got my head ripped. Took 15-20 minutes to get my margarita and when I finally did it was maybe 3 sips. Tiny glass and nothing but ice. $10 for that. We had already finished our appetizer before I even got it. Short staffed. I wouldn't complain mostly but when I feel like I have been taken advantage over a mixed drink it pisses me off. Won't be getting anymore mixed drinks here! read more

AW Lin's - $10 for literally 3 sips. That's not including the alcohol tax. Look at size next to the fork. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

There are not many classy Chinese restaurants in Little Rock area, both locations are clean and classy. we have tried as many things as possible- spring rolls, crab Rangoon - ginger salad, massive bowl of hot and spicy soup. Preferred lo-mein and curry dish over their sushi rolls. Good deals on happy hour drink and apps. Staff is so nice and courteous. read more

Not bad but also nothing special. They serve, Chinese, Japanese, and thia so expectations weren't very hire and it delivered as expected maybe slightly better. read more

The service was out of this world. Our waitress is so sweet and attentive and helpful. Food...not traditional Chinese food but satisfied my craving for Chinese food in the city. Good enough. read more

Excellent spicy hot Chinese!! Service everyone super sweet!! Freshly made and great sake!!

A NLR favorite of ours. I love the moo goo gai pan. My kids share a big chicken fried rice or the honey sesame chicken. There's a good variety of options. Sushi, Chinese, some Thai dishes & more. Portion sizes are large. Easily shareable. read more

I've been coming to AW Lin's for over 8 years. My family and I absolutely love this spot - it's a must-visit destination for Asian cuisine in the Promenade. Every dish I've ever had has been delicious and the service is fantastic. I recommend trying the spicy scallion chicken and spicy crispy fish. They also have a lunch menu with several combo options. Additionally, I've tried many of their sushi rolls, which have been amazing. The ambiance inside is classy and refined. Overall, a great place to dine at in the Chenal area! read more

Great happy hour prices on beer sale and good !! But hurry it's over at 6. I had small bottle of sake (4 shots) a beer , fried dumplings, small sushi roll and seaweed salad for under 30 total !! read more

Really good Chinese food. Fresh and clean Space. Lunch specials are a ton of food for low price. Highly recommend read more

Move over Fantastic China. There is a new King in town! I had been looking for a new Chinese Restaurant in which to dine for some time. Fantastic China was a staple of mine until the change in ownership in recent years. The quality is just not there so I had to find a new place. Well, A.W. Lin's is the place to go! The atmosphere is good. The service and the food, however, are great! Simply top notch! I haven't had Chinese food that good in Little Rock in years. I can't wait to go back. If you are looking for great Chinese food, then A.W. Lin's is the place for you. read more

This was the worst Pad Thai I've ever had. Pad Thai is usually my go-to when I am traveling for work because it is a pretty standard dish. But this was pretty awful. Too soupy, weird vegetables that don't belong in traditional Thai disheS and way too sweet. Also big clumpy wet pile of crushed peanuts made the texture even worse. The sushi was suspect too, kinda slimy and weird. Do not recommend. read more

Right in the heart of downtown Little Rock this is a great find. Very willing to accommodate Vegan lifestyle and adjust current dishes. read more

We ordered orange chicken and pho to-go. Both were delicious. We were happy with the serving sizes. I would definitely come here again! The inside is beautiful, and feels like a great date spot! They've got a full bar, too. Customer service was nice, too. read more

Food was fabulous. Flavorful, fresh, hot and seasoned just right. Jessica provided amazing service. Glass never empty

We've ordered from here a couple of times and the food is really hit or miss. Our most recent order was the app for two, "mapo tofu," hot and sour soup, and a twice cooked pork dish. The app was good but hard to go wrong with a lot of fried things. Chicken skewers were excellent. My husband enjoyed his pork as well. My hot and sour soup was ok; not the best version I've had but not the worst either. The "mapo tofu" is what caused this order to go sideways. It's listed on the menu as medium spicy. What I got had absolutely no chili oil, no Szechuan pepper corns. It was tofu, with some garlic and a very few spring onions, in a gloppy brown sauce. Ugh. And no pork, though I've had competent vegan versions of mapo tofu. Don't put it on the menu if you can't do a halfway decent version of it. read more

The pad Thai was overloaded with sugar. I could barely taste the lemongrass, if, in fact, it was part of the dish, and the peanuts. I've eaten at the West Little Rock location previously and enjoyed it. During the pandemic, I picked up from the downtown location, which smelled of sewer (same as it did when this place sought years ago to be a jazz dance and supper club). I'm not sure if I'll return. Except for the Mex and African fare that I've eaten in my sweet hometown, I'm pretty disappointed in the ethnic food. I cannot imagine that owners of AW Lin, who I presume are Asian, are, themselves, eating the PadThai they serve to customers. read more

Good food authentic taste food quality was good / service was also good I recommend this place pls visit ' see for yourself

Food was great and service was excellent! Definitely recommend the crispy spicy fish. Will be back soon.

Fantastic service and even better cuisine!! Highly recommend going during happy hour fantastic value. Had the spicy chicken entrée can confidently say it was the best chicken dish I have ever had at a Chinese restaurant. Will definitely be back!! read more

I like both locations. We visited the West Little Rock location tonight and the food was Awesome as usual. Our server William was the best. He took really good care of us. Our food was hot and right on time. We enjoyed everything about our service there on Valentine's Day!! They made it very special. William is an A+ server!! read more

I ate at A.W. Lin's about 2 weeks ago and it was my first dine-in experience as I almost exclusively ordered online. What makes this place truly stand out is the traditional Chinese dishes they serve, but there are some American style dishes for those who are hesitant to venture out of their comfort zone. I started with a cold appetizer of beef tendon followed by the hot sichuan braised beef shank noodle soup for my main. The chili oil they use for the beef tendon is home made and very aromatic, couple that with fresh cilantro placed on top to cut the richness of the tendon and it was a well balanced dish. And I will be the first to admit, when it comes to traditional Sichuan dishes, I prefer my spice level on the brink of deadly and I asked if the kitchen could accomodate that, and they were more than happy to since this noodle soup is typically a spicier option to choose. It delivered on the spice as well but the flavor wasn't muted from the spice thankfully. Not to mention the portion size is absolutely massive. All in all, I wish I would have eaten inside sooner instead of doing the online order. The service is phenomenal and everyone does a great job of making you feel welcome and insuring you have the best dining experience possible. Highly recommend! read more

AW Lin's - Great food and friendly staff... Always have enjoyed the West Little Rock location. Now they have 1 downtown and it is wonderful too. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Food is great, quick and extremely friendly staff. They are all warm and smiling.

Street parking clean quiet restaurant with a large selection pho was amazing! The Mongolian beef was the best I've EVER HAD! The wontons were thick but delicious. Egg drop soup couldn't have been any more perfect. I'm stuffed beyond measure and will now need someone to drive me home! Next time I hope to try the sushi it looks amazing. Polite and very attentive and informative staff were so kind, Very clean restrooms as well! Can wait to try this place again read more

Stopped here for lunch while passing through Little Rock on New Years Eve. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Definitely will come here again the next time we're in town. read more

It was my favorite downtown spot. Sadly, I was informed last Friday night they are now under new management. Frankly, I haven't had service that poor in years. The bartender (possible manager?) was far more interested in chatting with the to-go delivery driver than he was in preparing and/or bringing drinks to our table (a table of 10 adults who waited over 20 minutes for drinks to arrive). Drinks, when finally prepared, sat at the bar until we finally asked if he would hand us the same. They also apparently have new kitchen staff. The food itself was bland and the lo mein was unforgivably mushy and was left mostly uneaten. The food was simply joyless. read more

Love this new spot downtown! We had the spicy dumplings as an appetizer. I had the Thai style crispy cashew chicken as an entree and my fiancé had the ma po tofu. Everything was delicious. Excellent service as well! We will definitely be back read more

The GM told me to "go kill myself"... I left a review about hair in my food and was asked to come back for compensation. Went back and the GM, Zach, was immediately aggressive, told me I was banned, then followed me outside to threaten to fight me if he ever saw me elsewhere. He ended up shouting at me at the front door of the restaurant, flipping me off, and ended with telling me to "kill myself" as he was walking back in... absolutely insane experience, all because I had a hair in my food during my initial visit and it turn out Zach was the waiter that told me, after insinuating it was my hair (which is blond, and the hair in the food was black), there was nothing they could do about it. Best of luck to the owners. read more

Great sushi and great people! Ambiance is spectacular and inviting. If you like sushi and are visiting or live in Little Rock, you must visit AW Lin's. read more

Delicious food. Beautiful restaurant. Ordered the Pad Thai and cleaned my plate. Highly recommended. Thank you for the meal.

Fantastic pad Thai. Wouldn't of thought it was going to be good coming from what I thought was just a simple Chinese restaurant. Great job!

Me and my girlfriend ordered from this location just a few minutes ago. we ordered it as a delivery and it was delivered by Uber eats. The restaurant only prepared half our food and only refunded one portion of it because they also left out a German chocolate cake but did not refund it. The food was good but definitely no more than average. There was no plastic ware or sauces in the bag. my girlfriend had to order from somewhere else just so we could both have enough food to eat. After this experience I find it to be a very slim possibility that we ever order from this restaurant again. read more

Amazing happy hour,delicious food and great service! The salmon nigiri always is fresh and melts in your mouth. I always leave happy!
