Contemporary, light-filled locale presenting Pan-Asian dishes & sushi, plus sake & cocktails.
I ordered the fried whole red snapper with thai chili sauce. The presentation was great and the fish was not overcooked. Overall I give the taste a 4 out of 5. I would have given it a 5 but the Thai chili sauce was a bit too sweet and overbearing. I believe pineapple juice was added to the sauce. I would definitely eat there again. The hot and sour soup was great ππ½
Our server recommended and spicy and crispy fried chicken. It came with steamed rice. The spice came from chili oil. Chicken itself was very crispy, it had very light breading. Not too spicy, just a hint of spice. It was delicious! I definitely recommend it. We also tried pad thai but noodles were way overcooked and very soggy. The manager was nice about it and replaced our food. Super friendly service!
Ordered to go, but it's a very nice atmosphere inside. To go orders are picked up at the bar, which was nice, clean & had friendly help who offered me a drink & a seat while she checked on my order. Food portions were good, each item fresh and the perfect temp & the to go bag with utensils & sauces had everything you'd want & need.
We were impressed that our waiter didn't write anything down! He took orders from 6 people and the food was perfect! His primary objective was to make sure that we were satisfied with the food, the service, and he was very friendly and caring. We will be coming back!!!!
Here with an update. This place doesn't miss for me. We had the drunken noodles, general tso chicken, spider roll, ginger salad, combination lo mein, and spicy shrimp and chicken dumplings. All of it was excellent and the service was quick and fast. This place is good and never misses.
The food was amazing. The service even though they were very short handed was outstanding! Please go pay them a visit you will not be disappointed. I promise!
First time here. Lunch on a Thursday. Tried the Hawaiian sushi roll. I liked it but husband didn't care for it. Everything else tasted fresh and filled us up. Server was polite and attentive. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the price blew my mind for Chinese food. Probably won't be back just because of that. If they came down a notch on the price I would definitely be back.
The food was very good, but our server was rather inattentive and forgetful, I'd say. Her standoffish body language also left room for improvement. However, other servers I observed appeared to be much better, and much more engaged. Our server neglected to refill my water, even after we asked politely, and in fact she would often just disappear for a good while.
The food was outstanding. Between us we got two entrΓ©es, pictured, 4 pcs nigiri sushi, pictured, a cup of miso soup, and a small salad with a delectable ginger dressing. It was fantastic overall, subpar service notwithstanding.

They have great food here I love it very delicious and itβs worth the money
Best egg rolls!
Calm and cozy atmosphere. Comfortable seating and luxury. Great food and service. What more can you ask for?
The food was fantastic and the server was a complete Rock star
Online ordering could use a LOT of work! I placed a pickup order on Friday evening that would be ready just after 6pm, not the most currently demanding time. I didn't arrive earlier than needed, and the restaurant wasn't even full. I went to the to-go pickup area at the bar as the hostess instructed, and sat waiting too long for anyone, as employees breezed by, not even looking at me. A guy walked in front of me and the hostess acknowledged him and his order, and then she got to me. My food was great, but that was chaotic to figure out who could and would even help me.
On top of it, I got an email about joining their rewards program. Don't do it; nothing happens. You'll be led to download an app that doesn't even work, and when you create an account in a separate place, your points don't show up and there's no instruction on how they can be used.
I've dined in before and it's fine, but this restaurant has other systems that need an overhaul.
Table was separated from other guest. All food took long time. Food was cold. Vegetarian order was messed up. Floor was sticky. Only spring rolls were good with sauce.
Food was high quality and tasted great!
My Wife and I really enjoyed eating here. Fresh, hot and tasteful.
Food was cold. We have tried this place twice both times it was early afternoon weekdays.
Flavor was good and portions adequate. Price was a little much for the experience.
35 minutes waiting to receive COLD sweet/sour chicken instead of Gen Tsos
Nearly 90 min meal and Iβll never get that time back Hot m sour soup w no chicken and very few crunchy veggies-an embarrassment
Quality of food is excellent. I really enjoyed the Fried Pork Dumplings and their AW LoMein and AW Fried Rice.
Great restaurant with tasty food. Their boiled fish is amazing. Shout out to Nick and Will who are very professional and spot on.
Our server recommended and spicy and crispy fried chicken. It came with steamed rice. The spice came from chili oil. Chicken itself was very crispy, it had very light breading. Not too spicy, just a hint of spice. It was delicious! I definitely recommend it. We also tried pad thai but noodles were way overcooked and very soggy. The manager was nice about it and replaced our food. Super friendly service!
Went there recently and it took more than 30 minutes after ordering for us to get our food. Waitress just told us pick up orders had priority. We ordered Pad Thai and Kung Pao Chicken and neither tasted good. Pad Thai was super sweet and noodles over cooked. Kung pao tasted a little burnt and was 75% bell pepper. They took $8 off the ticket but we donβt plan to return.
Food, excellent. Service- i had to get my own drinks from the bar. The plates, including appetizers, were never cleared. No refills or inquiry if another drink was desired (which it was).
Train your staff. Otherwise it's putting lipstick on a pig.
The food and service was great.. 10 out of 10.. will definitely be back
William was outstanding. His recommendations were on point AND we will be coming back very soon to try more delicious food.
This restaurant is usually top on my list. However, the service was below standards previously set, and the food just didn't hit the spot this time. I hope for a better experience next visit.
It was a pieceful,place n the employees or server's were friendly.... The food was excellent
The sushi was great and the atmosphere was very nice we were able to be very comfortable and eat at our own pace
Love this place, good service & good food ~β‘ always delicious

Best fried rice I've ever had
Good food, great service, calming atmosphere! If youβre ever in the area, check it out!
Ordered to go, but it's a very nice atmosphere inside. To go orders are picked up at the bar, which was nice, clean & had friendly help who offered me a drink & a seat while she checked on my order. Food portions were good, each item fresh and the perfect temp & the to go bag with utensils & sauces had everything you'd want & need.
I can't judge all their food and all their meals cuz I only ever order fried rice until I'm pleased with that and then I go in around the other items on the menu. I found the fried rice to be of poor quality. And it's really not any knock on the restaurant itself. The southern Asian cuisine. It's just not up the park, so if you're thinking this place costs more and it tastes better, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Where it's at and their prices don't reflect the quality. You're here for Lucas right? Yes so they're out of peach tea so I don't know if you want to call them and see if they want. Is it yours or is it like any like any of their normal options?
Food is always cooked fresh, and it is a plentiful serving size. I love going here by myself and with my family.
Not much for a person Not in love with heavy dishes.
Extremely mediocre with limited menu. Service was good but the food is MAYBE a step above Panda Express.
Everything was great β¦. The only thing was they donβt clear off dirty dishes from the table when your sitting there for a while chilling
The food was very good, but our server was rather inattentive and forgetful, I'd say. Her standoffish body language also left room for improvement.

Atmosphere is great, service was great, Sushi was fresh, and soups were spot on. Manager was great as well as she comped my meal on a main dish that just wasn't 100%.
Big portions. Great food. Pleasant server.
Thai in name only, service was good, hot and sour soup is good Cashew chicken is Chinese buffet quality sushi was mediocre not a place to waste your money
No service. No instructions on how to order
Food to high and service was bad
We like food
Favorite Chinese food in LR. Higher quality. We've always had good service and have never been disappointed in the quality of the food.
The food was excellent.The monster roll is a must try
One of the best sushi spots around. I love the volcano roll with a ginger salad or sweet and sour soup. The meals are also big enough to split or take for leftovers.
Pretty good food I'm making my way through the menu pictures will be next
Absolute trash service. Came in on a Sunday around 3 pm with little traffic. Got seated as soon as we walked in. No one asked our drink or water preference after about 10 minutes. 10 more minutes no one came by for water, drinks,
appetizer, etc preference. We decided to leave after seeing a group of 6 staff standing around by kitchen/sushi area standing around by the door talking.
I was not satisfied with this restaurant. Their drinks were overpriced, and their food didn't even taste like authentic Asian food. The one dish that I bought was below my expectations and I will not be going back. But overall the customer service was decent and the atmosphere was quite nice.
Unfortunately, this place was below my expectations. It looked great and the service was amazing, but the dish I bought did not exactly taste well, and everything was overpriced. If youβre shopping at the promenade, I donβt suggest you go here unless you want to spend all your budget money.
Food:π₯ Amazing food. TBH this is very authentic taste of real Chinese food, Iβm impressed. I ordered 3 dishes and the tastes were delicious!
If you love authentic dish, try Cumin beef , Boiled spicy fish(fish filet) and. hangzhou duck( sweet soy sauce taste- duck meat was super soft and the skin has fats)
Service: π our server is super friendly and professional. He actually recommended us Hangzhou duck , and he did ask us often about how was everything, and other servers also helped out our table service as well
Waiting dish: might take a whileβ¦ to wait. But itβs Worth it!
I recommend this restaurant because itβs the best Chinese food in the state. The food is consistently great. The service and ambiance is always great. My favorite dishes to eat there is the Orange peel beef and the crispy duck. Iβve been going there as long as itβs been open which is about 12 years. I go there with my family and friends at least once a week because it is always reliable to have good food.
Great food and service!
Great Service.
My wife and I are on keto and the waitress Danielle was very helpful in getting our choices to fit our diet.
The food was bland
Jenny is 10/10, best gal in town. Sweet, cares about her folk, and very helpful.
I placed an online order on 01/09/24, I went to the bar to pick up my order and waited a least 5 minutes or more only to see multiple employees standing at the sushi bar, finally a young lady came over to greet me, and her body language was extremely rude then proceeds to ask me what was I there for! I told her I was there to pick up my online order she looked through the orders, then left and the manager came out to ask what I was there for! SUPER annoying the service sucks! I will never go back!
Great food!
Nice decor .Sushi was so so. I ordered for 5 people. The sushi chef put it all on one plate. The server looked at me like I had 3 eyes when I asked her to put it on separate plates.
Our culinary journey began with the Spring Rolls, which were a perfect starter - light, crispy, and packed with flavor. Next, the Honey Walnut Shrimp was a delightful surprise, with its harmonious blend of sweet and savory that tantalized our taste buds. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the Pad Thai. It was a flavorful symphony of ingredients, masterfully prepared, and left us savoring each bite. The combination of these dishes made our meal not just a dinner, but an experience to remember. AW Linβs Asian restaurant truly shines in its ability to deliver delicious food with great service, all set in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
The staff are nice and the place is clean and quiet but the food....you can do much better elsewhere. I'm willing to try their other downtown location but I doubt I'll be back to this one.
Drunkin duck is their best dish.
Very nice atmosphere and great bar. The service was great and the food was even better. My wife loved her spicy chicken. I had General Tso's and it too was very good. We tried thier sushi and it was fresh and delicious. We love A.W. Lin's.
Superior quality food. Upscale atmosphere and very good service. Large dinner portions. Lunch specials. A win every time.
Service and food is always very good here! Highly recommend!
We had a nice time. The Asian themed atmosphere had some nice details and was comfortable. Our food came out hot and with little wait. We all chose Chinese dishes which we enjoyed. The plating was pleasant and portions were large. We all had leftovers. It was nice to see Sapporo on tap. We spent ~$25/person which was a little higher than I expected, but this was not some food factory type place, our food was well prepared. Restaurant staff were courteous, conscientious, and professional. We will be back to try some other dishes.
First time here. Lunch on a Thursday. Tried the Hawaiian sushi roll. I liked it but husband didn't care for it. Everything else tasted fresh and filled us up. Server was polite and attentive. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the price blew my mind for Chinese food. Probably won't be back just because of that. If they came down a notch on the price I would definitely be back.
Kobe was phenomenal. He was attentive and so helpful with all of our questions. Would highly recommend
Everything was great. I definitely recommend!
If I could leave less than one star or negative stars that would be more accurate as to the quality of food you receive. Spent $120 for 4 sushi rolls and 2 fried rice picked it up to take back for the night . The food was almost inedible and smaller than any sushi I have ever seen. This is awful donβt waste money here.
Some of the best food around!
Very tasty and flavorful- order the spicy dumplings! Ask for William as your server for the upmost care.
Andy youβre doing a great job! We LOVE this place.
It always feels like an awesome secret. They ALWAYS give you too much food. The staff is always on point. I can't say enough good things. One of my family's favorites. I recommend the Pho
Appetizer was good. Main dish wasn't the best, it was too sweet. Our server was not helpful. We could tell she didn't want to be there.
Found a large long black hair in our appetizer. Service was very, very slow. The main course (drunken noodles) looked like a slop of mush loaded with oil and soy sauce. Only thing we could taste was the salt. Overpriced as well.
Will not return nor would recommend.
Nice
Laid back spot for some good Asian food, not perfect but still pretty good. Service was amazing! Attentive and highly skilled! Manager was very helpful as well.
The staff was wonderful and the restaurant was clean and delightful. However, the food was too sweet. My husband and I ordered two separate dishes and I understand that some sugar is used to sweeten a dish but it was too much. The crab rangoon was really good though.
The service was excellent! D was an amazing waiter and the wait staff work as a team to provide proactive and fast service. The taste and quantity matched the great service.
This place just doesn't miss. Every time that I have gone, everyone is really nice and the food amazing. Probably one of the best egg drop soups in town.
Really good service, good food and the Thai tea was great.
I really enjoy it...the food was excellent & the waiter Nick was very courteousβ€ I will be coming back! Thank u
Nice place for dinner
Ate here after church and it was very good!
Our server was amazing.
Food is decent. Very expensive.
Felt rushed entire time inside.
Average Chinese restaurant. Nothing special. Not my first choice.
Walked in to 3 employees arguing over who was waiting on what tables. Got seated. Employees continued to argue and never waited on us. We finally walked out. This is our 3rd time at this place. Every time the service is bad, but this was the worst.
Friendly staff. Pretty good food. Several vegetarian options. Kung Pao Tofu was good but not very spicy.
Tried a couple of dishes there. Most of them were good. Love double cooked pork, spring roll and coconut shrimp but the dishes were a little bit pricey. Anyway, I will try more next time.
Update: Have dinner tonight ( a hot summer evening). The section I was in did not have much AC. Pretty hot. Was sweating a bit. Not a very good experience. But the food was ok. The serving size is a bit small and it was a bit pricey too. The braised pork belly was amazingly good.
slow
Very great place to eat!!
Food was good. Waiter was very busy but still good and very kind. Great place for a first date. Wish they would've had a local beer on tap though!
Good moo goo gai pan lunch special.
Delicious Asian food, service, and an upscale ambiance.
My new favorite Asian restraunt.
Great food for a great price! Large portions.
We stopped in for Dinner on May 18th
This was our first visit and we will continue to come back.
Food was amazing. Great price and healthy portions. William was amazing and when we told him it was our first visit, he made some great suggestions.
We will be long term customers
Great food and nice staff!
Drew is the best! Great service. And the food is amazing. π€πΌ
Great service. Great food. Highly recommend!!!
My favorite things to order: egg drop soup, rangoons, orange chicken, general tsoβs, volcano roll, mango tango roll.. honestly everything is good!
5/5 always! Great and quick to-go experiences, fantastic food that doesnβt taste at all like cliche cheap Chinese. Talented sushi chefs. Highly recommend.
Very good, pho was excellent! Hubby loved the Thai chicken.
Great Szechuan/Sichuan dishes. Bold and flavorful. Always good food.
Been a while since I tasted Kung Poa chicken like THIS! Found my favorite Asian restaraunt!
Food was just ok. Service was good. Everything was just a little too sweet, and I ordered spicy food!
I had the pho with extra veggies, and let me tell you it was absolutely amazing! It's pricey but well worth it
Ordered noodles and got rice
Pleasantly surprised with EVERYTHING. Excellent cocktail at a full bar.
Nigiri sushi appetizer was delicious and beautifully presented.
Cumin Beef was crunchy and spicy.
Plenty of good wines to choose from.
William was an attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly professional server.
The service is always amazing, the music really sets the mood and its some of the best food I've ever had.
Food was good hot!
What a great place to have the family. The service was fantastic when we visited
Absolutely love the egg drop soup!
I ate at the bar and Landy was fun and very knowledgeable about the food and Arkansas! Great service!
Toniteβs experience was totally awesomeβ¦I was on a 1st date with a really sweet guy Trey was our server he told us it was his 1st day I was Amazed Heβs very Attentive and Polite β¦Will Omg was the Bomb as well on being Super courteousβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈThanks Guys We will be back βοΈβοΈ
This is our favorite place for sushi and spring rolls.
I was lost, starving and had fallen and was drowning in a nearby river, but before I thought all hope was lost, my good pal William was there to pull me out in the nick of time. William then proceeded to take me to this restaurant where he works as the only waiter since his coworker, I think her name was Jessica or something, is out. I received five star service from William and would like to request that he gets a promotion, or at least free stuff. I would even go as far to say that I support William 2024, but I know William and that he is a humble man and would not accept this position. Thanks again William for your service, I owe you my life.
Will was π awesome. Can do attitude that served up a sizzling teriyaki chicken dish. Will return again!
The food took a little long but that was okay. Everything was delicious and waiter William was very patient with us. Great service overall.
Great place to dine in and unwind. Friendly bartender and great wait staff. Food is great and good quality.
William was great
Had coconut shrimp appetizer and crispy thai chicken. Both were excellent. Our waiter, William, was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Food and service are top notch.
William was bussin'!
William the best waiter ever
We waited 20-30 minutes after being seated before wait staff took our order. The food came out quickly but was not great. The spring rolls were gummy and cold, same for the noodles. Never received the salad we ordered. I had to go up to the bar to ask for our check.
The restaurant was not busy, seemed to be some staff drama. Waitresses were yelling at each other in the back of house.
Our waiter was William and he was wonderful! Very attentive even though it was really busy he made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable! Thank you so much!
The service was great, loved our server William
Fantastic food and amazing service by William! We will definitely be back!
I always loving coming here! Great service and amazing food. Recently came here for Valentineβs Day. Our server William was excellent and very professional. 10/10!
The food was delicious! I had the Honey sesame chicken and it was great! Service was amazing! William was our server and he was very nice and helpful with ordering a cooked roll.
William was quick, efficient, and super outgoing! Food was just as good and tasty!
William was my Server and he was Excellent!!
We came here for lunch on a Sunday. The one in down town LR is closed on Sundays. This one was still wonderfully good. Our server was William, and he was so friendly and charismatic. We never needed anything! The atmosphere is very delightful and romantic. Their chicken here is beyond delicious and their sushi is the best I've had in Arkansas so far. I've had 3 rolls so far and loved each one. They tasted incredibly fresh, for an in-land state that is quite impressive. We will definitely be frequenting this restaurant!!
Food was excellent and William did a great job
William was a great server! The food was delicious as always.
Willam is the best server and the food was great and came out really fast!
Our waiter William, is the perfect waiter! Excellent service and experience!!!
Will took care of us tonight and the service and food was great! Thank you William! We will be back soon
It was a bit expensive when the food was about the same as any other Chinese restaurant.
Will is awesome
Best experience at a restaurant ever! Last night me, my husband and son ate here! William was our server and when I say he went above and beyond thatβs an understatement! He made sure to check on us ensuring everything was good and we had everything we needed! He was very personable and made our experience very enjoyable! Canβt wait to go back and hopefully William is there again!
William is the best server Iβve ever had
Will and Landy were great! Took care of me! Love the food!
Excellent service from our server Will!
Great food and service! Will was our server and he was amazing!
Will is awesome. He went above and beyond today! The Best Place Ever! Go there and ask for Will! Food is fantastic!
My family and I eat frequently at the Chenal Pkwy location frequently and the service is always good. We ate there recently and though it was exceptionally crowded we were not disappointed. Our waiter was William and I was totally impressed by his attention to our needs and he was so polite and quick. This is a great place because of servers like William!
We came here for a girls night. The food and drinks were great but the service from our server Will was even better!
We visited the Chenal AW Lins location on 2/4/23, and William was our server. He went above and beyond to provide excellent service. He was prompt to take our order and kept our drinks filled. It was extremely busy with large parties but he was always very attentive to our party of 5.
William was a top-knotch waiter and made our experience memorable!
Food was great but expensive sushi could use a little work reminder me slightly of kroger sushi overall though good spot for a birthday spot
Sides Salad, Spring Rolls Hot and Spicy Soup that was pretty good...However the Fried Rice, it's a no for me!
Iβve had Pad Thai at a lot of placesβ¦itβs my favorite dish. But theirs was really really bad. Sauce was very thin, and way to tangy for Pad Thai. Service was very good.
We had wonderful lunch service by William! Food was great and we look forward to dining here again!
I like this place. The sushi is always good. But im totally sick of having landy as a server. Shes been my server 7 or 8 times at this point and Ive always been nice and courtious but she always seems either drunk or high never writes anything down and ALWAYS (everytime ive had her as a server) leaves something off or gets something wrong and blames it on whoever else. I dont even want to come here anymore just for the chance of having her as my server.
Food was very good, I really suggest getting the crab rangoon appetizer and the honey walnut shrimp. We had a event with 13 people and the service was perfect, William was the best waiter ever!
