The food is great, and I will definitely go back there. But I do have a couple nagging issues. 1. The noodle portion size is not consistent between servers, and if the server thinks you are cute you will get more noodles than the next person. They portion out the dumplings evenly, so they should also have a scale for the noodles so everyone gets the exact same amount. 2. On a weekday if you get there before their second batch of noodles is put out then your noodles will be cold. Every single time Ive been there before 11:30 my noodles are 99% guaranteed to be cold. 3. The meat is dry. Maybe not the meat in the dumplings, but the meat that is portioned out with the noodle bowls is usually dry and doesnt seem to add much flavor to the overall taste. 4. Most frustrating is someone puts in a large to-go order. Ive stood there while they made 20 orders... it took at least 10 minutes. I shouldnt have to wait in line for them to fill those orders, most places have a second employee making the to-go orders in the back. Or they could bring another employee to the front to assist.

The food was fine for the price (I suggest getting dumplings pan-seared), generally authentic, and health conscious. Id definitely consider going again. The three things I would point out as not being in its favor are: 1.) The setting is stark. I really didnt even know if I was in the right place at first because it looked almost like a clean, but abandoned space until I got to the front. No art, no fixtures, no color, just wall-to-wall white tile. 2.) Ordering isnt straightforward. If you havent been here before, you probably wont really understand what youre doing until you get there. 3.) Selection was limited. I understand doing one thing and doing it very well, but it should be something to consider.

Cant believe this place exists in Little Rock! Ive been working in China the last 4 years and this is the most authentic Chinese food Ive had back in the states (except maybe NYC Chinatown). We had the pork noodles with mild sauce and a bowl of mixed dumplings with spicy sauce. If I closed my eyes Id bet we were eating back in Hunan. The flavors are all there. The only differences I noticed were the dumpling skins being a little too thick and the pork being shredded instead of chopped (which I honestly like better). Aside from the food, the atmosphere is cool & comfortable and the folks working behind the counter are wonderful to converse with. I really cant recommend this place highly enough.

We were visiting Little Rock for ATA WORLD EXPO and so many people recommended this place. We decided to go check it out. I was a little nervous because honestly dumplings and/or noodles are not my thing. However, the restaurant is so clean, modern and has such an inviting atmosphere that I was super excited to try it out upon arrival. We ordered the dumplings and they were seriously it was amazing! My kids enjoyed them. It was not like traditional slimy dumplings. The spicy sauce they gave me (on the side) was perfect to dunk them in. The price is perfect, too! Check this place out!

I had the chicken dumplings with medium spice and it was delicious. When I first got my bowl I didnt think it would be enough but dumplings are very filling I guess because I was very full and happy. I do not suggest the orange carrot slaw I got that and it wasnt enjoyable to my taste buds in flavor or texture. I would recommend this place though because it is fast, their menu is simple (which is something I really like about a restaurant) and the food is good. Next time I go I am going to try the noodles they looked pretty good when the person in front of me ordered it.

Clean, modern atmosphere.. this is a welcomed replacement to Yo Mommas... which is what was at this location before. Yes, this is a small menu place, but worth it if you are a fan of Asian cuisine. If I had one hopeful menu edition.... a yummy noodle soup! The workers are sweet, and will help you navigate your choices. Price seems higher than most lunch places... but I usually have leftovers for an afternoon snack. All in all... a welcomed, clean, non-snooty place to grab lunch, or take-home dinner.

Take whatever you know about American-ese and throw it away. This is REAL, traditional Chinese food and it is delicious. No MSG. All natural and locally grown ingredients. If you want to know an off-menu-secret, ask for the Half-N-Half with noodles and dumplings. Half a bowl of noodles and protein and five dumplings. Its the perfect meal. Also, the staff is friendly, helpful if you dont know what to get, and always fun to talk to. I almost died from the deliciousness of the sesame balls.

I was looking for a vegetarian-friendly place for a quick dinner one evening and found Three Fold. The young man thoroughly explained all of the options and I went with the tofu and noodles while my husband had pork dumplings. Both were excellent even though my dish was quite salty and not as spicy as I had hoped. But the real jewel was the ginger tea. Both of us would drink that homemade tea all of the time if possible. It is the perfect compliment to a cold winter day.

Food was amazing, and the staff with exception to one man was so nice. It was our first time and we were rushed by this man to order and I was told to make up my mind so he wouldnt have to walk back and fourth to the kitchen. The people behind us were treated so much better and he even came up to their table to chat, while my friend and I were not even acknowledged. It felt that because they were locals he gave a better attitude.

Clean fresh and simply constructed hipster noodles. Noodle and dumplings in a bowl with customized toppings. Very cool and the carrot and cabbage salads are refreshing. Lots of food and a cool airy bank space. Very light and modern stylized concept healthy choice. Get everything, noodles and taro chips are light crisp and salty sweet. For dessert get the mini sesame balls. Great top pick for downtown casual dining.

We tried the pork bun, the new noodle special - spicy bean paste and tofu, and both the chicken and vegetable dumplings. Everything was absolutely spectacular. As good or better than any Chinese dumplings Ive had in Manhattan or both Chinatowns in San Francisco (and I lived in SF for 12 years!). The pork bun was the star of the show - it was like a southern BBQ joint meets China. They are now open on Saturday, too!

Fantastic food, but when we went (albeit it was late on a Friday) they were out of about 1/4 of what we ordered. No taro chips, no buns, no meat except chicken. What we did get to eat was incredible; noodles and dumplings were cooked to perfection! The bubble tea was surprisingly good, never would have guessed that I would be able to drink bubble tea in the middle of Arkansas, what a pleasure.

The food is okay but be aware of all the hidden cost! They charge for water and any little bit add-on that is usually free in other restaurants. I ordered a dumpling bowl and the lady asked me if I want to add any green. She sounded like its free. I asked for a pinch of cilantro. That makes it a "customized" bowl and additional 10% was charged. Its very unreasonable to me. Would not go again.
