I don’t leave many reviews online but feel this needs to be posted.
We order from Arkenseoul every time we visit Arkansas. Over the past few years, the quality and taste of the food has gone down while the prices have increased. Most recently, we ordered: kimchi jaeyook rice bowl, bahnbahn rice bowl, tteokbokki, japchae, and KFC. The rice bowls were both too sweet and salty. We took one bite of the tteokbokki and it was SO SALTY, inedible to eat more than one rice cake and had to be tossed! Japchae was flavorless. The KFC was also very salty. Not worth the price and will NOT BE COMING BACK!!! Very disappointed as we used to look forward to eating here. As a Korean American, I expect certain foods to taste a certain way to represent K-food. Arkanseoul is NOT a good representation of what K-food should taste like.
Dear Arkanseoul, please try the foods you are cooking and selling to customers.

Food was amazing with generous portions! I ordered number 20. A bit of a wait time at lunch though

We love the good tasting quick and easy take out, but missed the kimchi side and wanted to order kimbap but it wasn't on the online menu

Our order was delicious! There was a generous amount of meat in the bowls. I’ve been to other Korean restaurants in the area and they really skimp on the protein but not this place! Everything was delicious!
