World Buffet - Albert Pike Rd (Hot Springs)…read more If you're looking for local delicious sushi... this is one spot! Their Sushi Bar was very presentable and it all tasted very delicious. I stopped by to get my To-Go Order and they let you fill up To-Go tray by the pound. I was so hungry that I really loaded up. However, despite being hungry, their selection was lacking. They do offer great selection of dessert items. Half the restaurant was empty. Maybe I caught them at slow time of day. I was able to load up on some food items. But, the most I loaded up on was their very presentable and great large selection of tasty sushi. I would definitely return here, just for their sushi. It tasted like great quality. The owners were friendly and had good customer service. Despite their lacking on food selection, I don't come here often, so it wouldn't be fair to assume that it's like this on regular basis. Give them a try.

Food was ok, not great. Some items you can tell set under lamp warmers for a while. Place inside didn't look bad. They keep it clean. I came here during their slow times.

I consider this like a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant whose food is pretty decent. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. The buffer did look a bit sparse, but that was partially because they were batch cooking. Making small portions so that anyone eating is actuakkygetting a freshly cooked meal. The place does lack ambience, there was no music, but we'll definitely return for a quick, good chinese meal next time we're in the mood. Don't expect a 5 star experience, but you'll get pretty good food despite thr ambience.

That's what I usually do, though there is space for casual dine-in as well. There is a separate counter for picking up carry-out orders next to where you place an order, which reduces congestion. The food itself is consistently high quality, generously portioned, and reasonably priced. Expect leftovers (though I do think the dine-in portions are slightly larger than carry-out). I rarely branch out because the sesame chicken is just too good, but I've also enjoyed the chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, and chicken lo mein. Carry-out always manages to stay fresh and warm. They have an impressive selection, so there's something for everyone. Wok Express is always on my list when I'm back in town! I definitely miss it when I'm gone.

This place has changed my life. I have never left a review for any place or any thing, but I will lay down my life for the Golden Wok and those who run this beautiful establishment that we get to call a gift to humanity. This place has seen me at my worst and my best, and they welcome me with open arms every time. I have known people for decades that my children will never hear about, but Golden Wok will be a constant anthem of victory resounding in their ears from their father. If this place has 1 million customers, I am in the midst of them all. If the Wok has 1 customer, it is me, and if they have none, it is either Sunday or I have passed on from Heaven to Heaven. Protect this beautiful establishment and those who work there. God Bless America. God Bless the Wok. read more

Great made to order made fresh Chinese food. Skip the buffet and eat here. Order an a counter and food is delivered to table when ready. Typical Chinese food available on menu. Sometimes zucchini is in the mixed vegetables &. Cooks will omit ingredients or allow special requests read more

We are driving through from Texas to Vermont and stopped by for a quick dinner before continuing…read moreour drive. The food was big servings and delicious; but the best thing is while I was sitting there, one of the older gentleman was on the phone and began speaking Bahasa Indonesia. Before I left, I asked the gentleman where he was from and he is from Bandung!!! I used to live there years ago and I have lived in big cities and never met anyone from there or even Indonesia, but here in a small town in Arkansas I meet someone by chance in a little hibachi restaurant! This stop was the highlight of my year and I will be stopping by every time I am driving near.

Decided on ordering takeout and got two orders of hibachi, both steak and chicken. The fried rice and steak were great. The chicken was terrible. The consistency was hard and tasted like it had been cooked with old salmon. I'm thinking that it was cooked earlier in the day and just warmed up before serving. My guess is that my experience wasn't par for the course since the steak and rice were great. I think that they just had some old chicken that they didn't want to have to throw out.

Food was not great but in this part of town, not a lot open on Sunday's. The restaurant is dirty, outdated and when my crab stuffed shrimp came the shrimp was small, inconsistently cooked, the crab stuffing had an ammonia taste and the sides of mango coleslaw and broccoli slaw were overly sugar. I did not send my food back because I overheard servers discussing that happening at another table and the consequences. I strongly suggest you steer clear. And the poor response from the owner with no option for revisit and follow up Is par for the course. Again...watch your chef staff and wait staff!

Hands down, the best barbecue I've ever had!…read more The chopped beef was absolutely incredible--truly, the best chopped beef I've ever tasted! The chopped pork was fantastic, and the ribs were nothing short of amazing. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the barbecue sauces? The hot sauce was exactly what I like, with the perfect kick, and the mild sauce was delicious too. There wasn't a single thing we tried that disappointed! The owners are the nicest, most wonderful people I know! They know what they are doing! As far as ambiance is concerned, it's a walk up order situation so not a restaurant to go into but they do have some covered tables and chairs in front. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had, and my only complaint is that it isn't closer to where I live! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Can't wait to come back!

The Rib Cage BBQ

Roadside trailer with picnic tables. Perfect…read more Very solid ribs. They must steam or boil them a bit before they smoke em because they fall off the bone without any pull. They're served dry with sauce on the side. The sauce is unlike any I've had before: great heat and sweetness with a bit of chunk texture. Reminded me of sriracha a little. Unique, but I like it. We got the last brisket of the day. It was a tad too pot roasty -- overly moist without any smoke -- but was still pretty good. The greens were excellent. Flavorful liquor with pork chunks. Cole slaw was also excellent. Creamy with the right balance of sweet and sour. Baked beans were solid, yet unremarkable. We'd definitely come back if we make it back down here. Great choice!

Ordered the sampler to get an idea of what they do. The ribs would be the only thing I'd recommend. They were good and the spicy bbq is good. The brisket was ok. Tougher than I like. The sausage is good. The pulled pork was dry and not much flavor. Shame as they put so much in there. The ribs go quick as I was there at opening and they only had 3 racks left as they have a sign saying so. Hence just get ribs. For sides, I enjoyed the beans and the potato salad. Lots of flavor and sweetness on the beans. The salad was like a twice cooked potato. The grandma slaw would skip. Surprisingly for all that food the price is very reasonable! We fed 2 kids and 2 adults and was plenty left over.

I chose two large pieces of fish and substituted okra for potatoes and hush puppies; the wife ordered chicken fried chicken with cole slaw, beans, some sweet onions and bread.
