    Presentation on point. Flavor was popping. Service is quick. Food takes time to cook and it's totally worth it. Limited seating, so order takeout if you don't feel like hanging around. Bao is a must.

    This place is delicious

    This place is delicious! Go give it a try. The Szechuan dumplings and Yakisoba are bomb. Give it a try!

    Food, service, ambiance everything it's good! It's a very small business, worth the wait if busy.

    Niku Udon noodles with broth
    Elon T.

    This review's strength is the uniqueness and intense flavors of the "snacks" or starter dishes. I went in and got the basil chicken nuggets and the sichiuan dumplings. The texture and flavors of both of these are worth your visit. The chicken bites were crisp outside with a noticeable but not overpowering herbal taste from the fried basil leaves. The dumplings came in a savory chili sauce, topped with the most amazing crispy garlic. Usually, a steamed-style sampling will have a small filling and leave some air pockets that make it hard to eat with chopsticks. Not these. These dumplings were plump and flavorful, filled with the most delicious sauce we used to dip other things in. My other order, the udon noodles in broth, was OK. It was a delicate broth with udon noodles, thin fatty beef, and other accompaniments. The broth was good, but the overall dish needed more of a flavor punch for me to love it. The noodles alone were what you would expect, but the overall dish didn't wow me. When I return, I will load up on "snacks" for my meal and maybe try another style of main noodle or a rice-forward dish. The service was good. When you walk in, you order at the counter, and the staff brings the food to your table when it is ready. The space is small, with just several tables and ample bar seating. The ambiance is pleasant, lit well, and cozy.

    My best friend and I popped in for lunch on Saturday and were so pleasantly surprised by this new Asian fusion spot! We ordered several things from the menu to try as much as possible and it didn't disappoint! Everything we ordered was equally as flavorful as it was aesthetically pleasing in its presentation. The building is small so I could see it being quite the wait during peak hours but I can guarantee that the wait would be so worth it! We've already planned to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu!

    This spot is a gem! Friendly staff and the environment was intimate. I appreciate the chilled water (90 degree weather) that we had and how it was available for us at our seats. The attention to detail, especially with the egg rolls, was spot on. Both noodle dishes were yummy, but the star of the show was the HK Bbq dish! All of our dishes were delicious, we will come again soon!

    Chicken Katsu
    Pinkjadez Z.

    Very neat tiny spot definitely worth trying. We had a few of the dishes and everything was yummy. I wouldn't go there with more than 4 or so people since it's very small inside. All the dishes were very tasty, perhaps takeout next time.

    Teriyaki chicken, chicken, katsu, and galbi, Korean style ribs.

    The food was EXCELLENT! Today we stop by for late lunch and was extremely impressed by the quality and taste of their asian cuisine. We tried the teriyaki chicken also the chicken katsu and galbi ribs all excellent! The portions were very good sizes and full of flavor. I lived in Japan for 12 years and also Guam for 3 years. I know exactly what good Asia food taste like and for Arkansas that was one of the best Asian dishes I've had in the state. Other than my wife making it from scratch well done the service was okay and ambience is nothing special but it was clean.

    I really enjoyed the style of the restaurant as it was cozy in the dining area and felt like a dining area that would be in a downtown area. Food was good.

    First time trying this place out and it was ok. Very small interior, so not recommend for a large party. You order at the counter. Galbi Beef was a favorite! Next, I enjoyed my ramen with udon noodles because I like thick noodles. It was flavorful! I wish they asked if you wanted to add spice or offered to give us some chili oil. The Szechuan Dumplings were a nice appetizer. Bit spicy at all, I didn't taste the Szechuan in it. It was nice getting the free desserts at the end! I enjoyed that.

This location is inside the Mall, which makes eating alone just impossible. The ambience here is exciting if you like kids, crowds and people watching. But unlike back home in San Diego, food trucks, eateries, and restaurants are rare here.

So I was browsing DoorDash on my first day alone staying in, and I across Its Sa Wrap. ... wait a minute. It's... Sarap? That's Filipino! So being Fil-Am, I had to order it. I ordered the sisig, halo halo, and turon all for $35, including travel fees because this place was a pretty significant distance from my hotel. In fact, I was surprised to see that it's at a mall. I was both surprised and laughing at the portion they provided for the sisig. It has plenty of rice and meat. Arguably too much, and I can eat. I was like... "heh, this better be good." It was delicious. The rice was fine, but the sisig was delicious. They got all crispy and flavorful scrapings from the pan in there, and the addition of red Filipino chilis added a nice heat to it overall. The turon was a little more dense than I thought it would be, but that's a good thing. The halo halo was also a typical halo halo -- also a good thing in this part of town. The flavor, amount of food, and overall value here would cost someone way more than $35 in the Bay Area. This is a win. If I find myself in Arkansas again, I'll definitely seek out this place. Good Filipino food in Arkansas. Who knew?!

If you want to know why, and why my opinion on Karaoke places should hold weight, then read on. My Wife and I (and by extension many of our friends) are absolute Karaoke sluts. We're likely to end up in rehab for Karaoke addiction. We're building a Karaoke setup in our living room as I write this. Why does any of that matter? Because we've done Karaoke in dozens of places all over the US and Mexico. This includes anywhere from seedy smoke choked dive bars in the south to private room karaoke in Japanese tea houses in NYC. So color me shocked when we visit a sleepy little town in Arkansas of all places and find a karaoke joint that puts 99% of all other karaoke joints to shame. Here's a breakdown on what makes Big Box so special 1. AMAZING microphones! *Great range pickup *Zero connection issues 2. Damn good selection of music both classic and modern with easy to use remotes. 3. Great rooms *Spacious *Great vibe* 4. A fantastic selection of sake along with an owner who actually knows sake! We tried several sakes after our session and had an amazing conversation about each sake we tried. 5. Well stocked bar beyond sake *from swill to top shelf they've got you covered* Big Box karaoke ticks all the boxes for that perfect blend of Asian Private Room Karaoke with an American centered twist. It's worth traveling across the country just for this experience! Long live Big Box!
