    Panda on top of panda garden

    Walking into Panda Garden in Little Rock feels like stepping into a loud, joyful kitchen memory. An angry Asian man bellows from the counter, not in rage, but passion, shouting about sesame chicken perfection and rice cooked right. His voice booms approval with every plate. The food backs him up: crispy, savory, fresh, and generous. Sauces cling, noodles spring, and portions satisfy. It's chaotic, funny, and sincere. You leave smiling, full, and convinced the yelling is the highest compliment. Here, flavor wins every single time.

    The food is always food. They have the best spring rolls and crab Rangoon. Their macaroni and cheese is surprisingly tasty. It's always a good selection of food.

    Cold food from buffet...

    The macaroni is really good and they have alot of foods you won't see in other buffet settings like miso soup and a few things I'm not really sure of the names.

    I typically go into a sushi place with lower expectations, but Kemuri far exceeded my expectations!…read moreOur server was super friendly and attentive, and we were overwhelmed by the large menu but the happy hour specials were great and we ended up all ordering sushi. We started with spicy edamame and calamari, I'd highly recommend both! For sushi, I got the crazy monkey roll (a fan favorite, they light it on fire at your table!) and a spicy tuna roll. We shared a cucumber avocado roll, and the others got dragon rolls, crispy shrimp, and shrimp tempura. We were happy with all of our orders and left stuffed! Would recommend to all sushi lovers.

    This was chosen by a classmate and a good find. It's a large spot in a cute neighborhood with…read moreplenty of seating options -- you can pick the sushi bar, traditional restaurant tables, a regular bar, or another room that is a little bit more mood-lighting than bright/airy. We sat at the bar (different from the sushi bar, which is also an option) and had a very attentive and knowledgeable bartender. I tried the local filtered sake (who knew that Arkansas produces a large percentage of the country's rice?) and it was very nice. We each got a ramen bowl and a sushi roll. I got the wild salmon roll as I generally prefer simple rolls. The roll was very heavy on the rice, less so on the actual salmon. It was still nicely prepared and tasted good, but maybe not worth the price when you consider how little salmon you're getting out of it. I also got the Tonkotsu Ramen Bowl and added duck to it. The bowl was tasty, but slightly mild/bland -- to be fair, I asked them not to include the jalapeno because I'm terrible at handling any amount of spice. It was a generous serving and I happily took half of it home for lunch the next day. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and I didn't think the prices were outrageous. It's a nice atmosphere that can lend itself to cozy casual or intimate, and I wouldn't mind coming back here even if it doesn't top my list. Definitely worth a visit to decide for yourself.

    Arrived in Little Rock, AR, for work and Kiyen's was recommended by colleague who travels to Japan…read more2x/year and enjoys authentic Japanese cuisine. He visited Kiyen's a year ago and reported a positive experience. I grew up in Hawaii eating Japanese cuisine prepared by Japanese family members and have traveled to Japan, too. I was excited to visit Kiyen's! Positive: owner was energetic and lovely! She took our orders and served our meals and was the best part of this place = 10/5 stars! I ordered two items for dinner: shrimp tempura and sushi with salmon. Not-so-positive: ordered udon and was told they ran out. Then ordered chicken katsu and was told they ran out of that, too, so ordered tempura and sushi after waiting 25 min. Should have stuck with gut feeling and ordered something other than sushi. While food presentation was appealing, flavor was lackluster and disappointing. Five out of 8 members in our party ordered sushi: rice wasn't seasoned or compacted well when preparing, each bite portion fell apart when picking up with chopsticks. Couldn't pick up and turn each piece to lightly dip salmon part (not rice) into soy sauce. Wasabi was tinted a fake green color, tasted weird and unauthentic but had a sharp bite. Soy sauce was watery and neither wasabi nor soy enhanced sushi flavor, which was needed because salmon was flavorless and fillings did not help = 2/5. Tempura arrived pale, limp and soggy, flavor lacking = 3/5. Overall: ambience and menu options were fine but food preparer appeared to lack experience in sushi making and was unable to keep up with orders. We waited for meals longer than expected, and when they did arrive, we ate in silence rather than boasting about what we each had ordered.
