AW Lin's in west Little Rock on Chenal is the most Authentic, Innovative, ELEVATED, delectable, awesome, write this post about it b/c it's THAT GOOD Asian Cuisine you will find Anywhere! I eat out... that's what I do. I have tried every asian restaurant around, with an exception of buffets..... I refuse to eat at buffets... it's just me. I have been eating at AW Lin's for a couple years now and I have tried over 2/3 of the menu and I can assure you that they have elevated even the most tame of dishes like sweet and sour chicken or General Tsao Chicken, beef and brocoli along with all of your usual American / Chinese favorites and took them to a whole new level that will blow your mind !!! My first experience at Lin's was on Christmas day 2 yrs ago. I had a giant bowl of what turned out to be the best hot and sour soup I had ever had .... but what really made me come back again was the service and personal attention. They really treat you better than even the 5 star restaurants that charge you $100 + per plate. Take a moment to get to know your servers... each has impecable table side manor and delightful, fun personalities. I ask for Yin, John, Snowy or Chris to wait on me buty often times the owners Jenny and / or Andy will wait on tables themselves. I get a very good family style vibe every time I go in. Jenny & Andy have recently added a truly authentic Chinese menu that is unrivaled in the US ! I am fairly adventurous when it comes to trying new foods and I have to tell you that I am in HEAVEN with this new menu and it is true what you hear.... using the freshest organic ingredients in every dish makes all the difference in the AW world. You have to try the spicy , crispy fish with basil. It is indeed spicy but it is out of this world ! I also love the seafood caseroll with red coconut curry!!! Get the pork buns for your apitizer ! If you love sea food you are in the right place! Lins has the freshest seafood and Sushi around. Flyer, the sushi chef is delivers the most beautiful artwork on a plate you have ever seen... try the Henada roll. They use only the freshest of fish and the generous portions and creativity will keep you coming back for more. Lins is located in the Promenade shopping center on Chenal in WLR. Lin's provides you with exciting specials every day , from daily drink specials, a phenomenal happy hour, ladies' night, sushi specials. The hand crafted artisan cocktails coming out of that bar are delightful!!! You owe it to yourself to let Jenny or Chris make you one of their signature cocktails..... you will Not be dissappointed. If you don't feel like getting out... Lin's Delivers as well through Chef Shuttle.
AW Lin's has really done it RIght and is constantly evolving and pushing themselves to provide the freshest most innovative and truly authentic Asian cuisine available while providing unparralleled customer experience.
The best Asian restaurant in town! The waiter was friendly and recommend the best drinks and food. The staff was welcoming and ambiance was relaxing. Especially after a long wait in the Apple Store. Nice bar area! ��
My first visit was yesterday with my niece and great nephew. It was wonderful. We were there at lunch, so we ordered from the lunch menu. Everything was delicious, the waiter was attentive and very fast. The only thing that caught me off guard was the diminutive size of the spring rolls. They are tiny, the size of my pinky finger. But, the chili sauce they were served with was amazing and the proportion size of the soup and meal were more than adequate. I had been told how expensive they were, but it was less expensive than many other upscale Asian restaurants I have visited, and I enjoyed the food more. Thank you!
A.W. Lin’s Asian Cuisine is amazing. If you haven't gone, go!!! A must for anyone. One of the best in town and I love Asian Cuisine for sure.
The location is great. The food is pure heaven. The price is right on. The service ... OMG best is town for sure. The owners really try hard to make you feel right at home. We might not always remember each others names but we (the owners and myself) always have a smile, a nice warm hand shake from the husband and a friendly hug from the wife, just brightens both of our days.
Drinks are awesome, one of the best places to try Sake of many different kinds. My step-mother is picky on her martinis and A.W. Lin’s Asian Cuisine is her favorite place for sure. Always willing to make it right.
The food is to die for. I suggest The Drunken Duck. OMG haven't experienced anything as amazing as that dish. Don't get me wrong everything is good but something about The Drunken Duck, it is just that good.
I ate at AW Lins for the first time around 4:30 this afternoon. The server we had(Stacy) he did a great job and knew all about the menu. The food was awesome and so was the service. We will be going back.
I'm a Chef..very critical when it comes to Chinese food but this one...is simply one of the best ! You never try, you never know ! ☆☆☆☆☆
Great food and great service. It’s a place that my family feels like they are at home. The owners care for each person that enters. They are phenomenal people.
Nice patio to enjoy some beer with good friends while partaking in a family style (a.k.a. sharing all dishes) meal of refreshing cucumber salad, seaweed salad, sashimi, spicy dumplings, and cumin lamb with lots of white rice!
Great authentic place to eat! Friendly staff and food is always good....even the new additions to their menu! The Vietnam Beef Pho is amazing!

Great atmosphere with amazing food! I would definitely recommend A.W. Lin's to anyone looking for great asian cuisine.
AW Lin's is a great restaurant. We have been customers since the grand opening. My daughter has severe food allergies and there aren't many restaurants where she can eat. The staff at AW Lin's takes good care of her and there are many items on the menu that she is able to eat. I have tried many items on the menu over the years and would recommend all of them. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing.
Best Asian cuisine in Little Rock! Everyone NEEDS to try to authentic Chinese dishes menu it is something no other place in Little Rock has! Also, great service and management! Jenny and Chris are awesome!
Today was my first time eating here! We had a huge party but the waitress remained calm, courteous, and attentive! The food was wonderful! I will definitely be visiting again!
The best food and service.....nice to go somewhere where everyone appreciates you and your patronage...
Dillon was an excellent server and the food was breathtaking and yummy!! Definitely coming back:)
Had great food/ service. Chris was awesome and the pepper steak extra spicy was fire

Food is authentic Asian and unparalleled by any other Asian restaurant that I’ve been to in the states. The service is friendly, swift, accurate and gives fantastic personal attention...rivaled by few even in 5 star settings. Chris Brimbley is the GM there and JENNY and Andy are the owners who frequent the dining floor and while super friendly and engaging they assure a top notch experience every single time. I’m not sure they ever leave the restaurant.... I suspect they have cots in the back.
It doesn’t matter if you like traditional “American” Asian or if you are from Asia and miss home.... you will love this place!

I went to AW Lin for my birthday, and it was amazing! The server was so friendly and even sang happy birthday to me with the rest of my friends! Plus, the food was delicious. I especially loved the Philly Rolls. Definitely the best Asian restaurant I've been!
If you desire good, "Western-style", Asian food, this place will not disappoint...but if you desire to try something unique, catering to traditional Chinese meals, then the authentic menu is worth a try. I have only tried a handful of dishes from it, but I have yet to be disappointed. I recommend the Spicy Shrimp & Chicken Dumplings, as well as the Wantons in Red Chili Oil. Their Hot & Spicy Beef is very tasty, and one of their spicier dishes (from what I've tried). If you're like me and love spicy foods, I suggest trying this out. Their normal "Western" menu doesn't have anything too spicy for the average person, even though they do state their spicy on the menu. None of them are too spicy, so don't be afraid to try something that sounds good, just because of the red pepper symbol next to it (which means it's spicy). Fair warning, though, the authentic menu has much spicier dishes, so just ask your server about anything if you're not able to take the heat that comes with spicier dishes. Good service, nice atmosphere, and a large menu. Ignore the bad reviews you may have seen and give this place a try. One of my favorite restaurants now.

I enjoy the food and atmosphere at A.W.Lin’s Asian Cuisine. I go to A.W.Lin’s on weekends, sitting in the bar, drinking a bottle of Tsingtao beer, ordering an entree, watching some sports and talking with their stuff and owner. Their dishes are very delicious and I like their sushi bar also. Honey walnut shrimp and volcano roll are my favorite. The atmosphere is both clean, tidy and most importantly friendly. All the staff members greet me smiles and warmth. I would thoroughly recommend A.W.Lin’s Asian Cuisine to anyone who likes Asian food.
Sushi is fresh, sushi chef and bartender are approachable, attentive, and friendly! Above average wine selection, decent house wines, and 8:30 pm happy hour for sushi & house wine....
Food and sake were amazing. The service from Parker was on point. We were kind of in a hurry and he got us out of there super quick!
I enjoy A.W. Lins!. I have been 3 times and have pleased with the food, wait staff and atmosphere!
I love that they have organic and No MSG! This makes me happy! Last night, Our waiter, Cody was attentive and very professional.
Tried this for the first time today and will definitely be going back! Great food, great service. Kourtney was a fantastic wait person. The portions were large for lunch entrees. 9 bucks for entree, soup, rice and 2 mini spring rolls is my kind of deal!
I eat here nearly every day on my lunch break. Their lunch specials are totally worth it and I can always get in and out within an hour.
Delish! Spider roll was excellent. House fried rice was awesome as well. Service was spectacular. I'll be coming back for sure.
Very good food. Service is very good also. Tried six or seven different dishes and keep coming back for more.
I love that they have vegan, gluten free, organic, and no MSG! Super nice waitress, Sarah, green lettuce in the salad, and amazing seafood!
