I’ve long gone to the original downtown outlet of Three Fold. Today was my first time to visit the Pleasant Ridge restaurant in west Little Rock. It was also my first time to return to Three Fold after it recently revised its menu, creating some controversy among those who felt wedded to the old menu.
The food was generally as good as ever, though I find the choices more limited and less appealing in the new menu. The sleek minimalist decor is nice. Staff were generally courteous and helpful, though perhaps a bit more curt and abrasive than I’d like — but this is increasingly the norm in Little Rock restaurants staffed by younger wait persons, managers, cashiers, etc.
Prices are steep for what you get, though I suppose the quality of what you get warrants the prices — somewhat.

Decided to meet my girlfriends for dinner, and a drink. The drinks were amazing, and the food was so good. We did the half and half with some pickled veggies. I think we spent about $40 each but it was good vibes. Will be back!

This beautiful restaurant has a simi comprehensive menu of mouthwatering food to choose from. If you have a question, the staff are nice to talk to. Ask the staff walking about the building or by the bar.
I brought my 3 year old and a 2 month old baby. I wasn’t asked if I wanted a Highchair or swing for the baby so I assume there are none. Probably best to wait till they are a bit older for this kind of place.
Other than that, this place has very unique tasty food with a clean atmosphere. I’d love to come visit again.

Update: we’ve returned to try their updated menu. We sampled a Set with peanut noodles, pork belly, and steamed chicken dumplings; we also ordered a bowl of mala noodles with chicken. First, I love the set dinner option because if you’re anything like me and can’t make up your mind on what you want to order then this helps! For the peanut noodles – the noodles were perfectly firm and bouncy (more ramen style in this iteration) and the peanuts were delightfully crunchy. I wish the sauce was a little thicker and stuck to the noodles more but it was so flavorful and nutty (yes, I did drink it, no regrets). And the noodles went great with the rich meaty pork belly chunks. The steamed chicken dumplings were light but packed with flavor. The mala noodles were also good – my partner reported that it was nicely comparable to the spicy beef noodle bowl from the previous menu. He did report that my pork belly was better than his chicken, so something to consider when picking proteins.
Overall, sad to see the old menu go, but the refresh is great from what we’ve seen so far!
We’ve been several times now for dumplings and noodles which are incredible (the half and half with pork, and the beef noodle soup are standouts. And get the spicy dipping sauce!) But we went the other day for brunch, and y’all it was an experience! We got the dimsum set, the multi grain congee and the bing wrap. All fantastic! The dimsum were glorious little bites with something for everyone – the vegetable forward ones were light and delicate and perfect conduits for their spicy sauce, and the meatier bites were rich and packed with flavor. No notes. The star of the bing wrap is the scallion pancake, which really elevates it above a run of the mill breakfast burrito. And oh the congee – it’s like oatmeal, grits and wild rice had a wonderful, savory, purple baby. There might be a slight texture issue for some, but if you like the flavors of oatmeal and/or mild wild rice then you will not regret ordering the congee. The black sesame and mala lattes were the perfect compliment to this fantastic meal. Can’t wait to return and try the tea service and the shaved ice!

My friend and I went on a random whim and had a blast! The food took long ish but that may have been the anticipation lol. Everyone was super kind and the drinks were made with love and lots of alcohol. Food was very yummy and overall I had a great time.

Tried this place for the first time today. Pictures will not do the food justice! The noodles were absolutely amazing! It is not traditional ramen, but it still very good. You have the option of medium, mild, spicy or poison (super spicy) for the noodles. They have canned soda or glass bottles which is nice compared to plastic cups. It has a very minimalistic aesthetic look inside which is very interesting to see (cute for pictures!) but it is very clean and staff were inviting. The dumplings were a little disappointing, but it may have been because I’m used to chicken dumplings. The sauce was amazing on the noodles (I did medium so it was similar to a soy sauce). From the reviews I read, maybe they just need to work on the recipe a bit for the dumplings. I ate one and didn’t really finish the rest… but my boyfriend loves them! Still very impressed and will be going back.

Great ramen place for Arkansas standards though not as impressed compared to others I have had. Enjoyed the modern minimalist vibes.
Tried some pork potstickers. These were good with a nice dipping sauce and crunchy underside.
The sesame and pork ramen was served not quite as hot as we were hoping. Warmer probably would have improved our perception of it.
Beef ramen was served much warmer. Enjoyed this one much more in comparison.

Awesome Restaurant. The vibe of this location puts the downtown location to shame. The lighting, seating, and space is sweet. The food is also great, the portions are perfect. Flavor is amazing. I’ve eaten here more and more as time goes on and it’s yet to disappoint.
The dumplings and noodle bowls are the go-to. Highly recommend getting the medium spice. It’s enough for spicy lovers as well as people wanting just a bit of spice. I’ve yet to try most of their drink options. But definitely plan on it.

They have a tea set for one person or made shareable and it’s cute for like a light fare and dessert. The tea we got was chrysanthemum tea and they steep it with real chrysanthemum. Then we had a half and half with pork and it wassss amazing! Great place for lunch or if you need something to warm you up from this cold season.

I’ve been enjoying meals at both this location and the other Little Rock location for several years now but hadn’t made my way up for the past several months. I initially noticed there had been some major menu changes since my last visit and only after the meal was it apparent how drastic the change was. Everything down to the broth is completely unfamiliar and not nearly as good as it was previously. There was also apparently a misunderstanding concerning my order but that wasn’t really bothersome compared to just the drop in quality (in my opinion). The dumpling soup was wildly disappointing, the broth was completely changed by the large amount of pickled cabbage added to the soup (not previously a component of the soup as far as I can remember) and perhaps this is shown in the new menu but I had just briefly looked over it as my order has always been the same since my first time here. The staff is still as good as I remember and my only complaint is strictly in how much the food has changed. It’s over an hour for me to drive up and it was a trip I was always happy to make but I probably won’t be returning after this visit. I hope they are able to figure out what works best for them but I will genuinely miss what I considered the best dumpling soup I’d ever had.
