Lola's Filipino-american Eats - Conway

UPDATE 12/11: went by and service was great and he offered to bring it out in the rain. considerable amount of chunks of fat in pulled pork sandwich. garlic fries weren 't like they were before, a bit soggy now and flavor seems different. I don 't know what happened. UPDATE 3 weeks later (9/18): The initial review was 5 stars but because I mentioned the slight toughness in the chicken, the owner offered a re make. I came by today and accepted the offer and it was 10/10. I don 't think it was their fault either; I think it may have been a bad piece of meat. Sometimes when I buy chicken that happens to me too. I also tried the spicy pork adobo and it was amazing. The green onions sprinkled in the rice are a very nice touch. The pork is well marinated and cooked perfectly. The spicy part of spicy pork adobo isn 't like a hot sauce it 's almost like a spicy flavor . It lingers. It doesn 't burn you up and make you hot but it 's an excellent flavor and just mildly spicy. It 's perfectly made. I thought that 2 oz adobo sauce may not be much, but it was actually perfect because they provided more rice than I thought they would and it 's actually got a higher soy sauce to vinegar ratio than I was thinking it would be (those ratios always vary because people make it differently). I had leftover sauce because it was more than enough. They also stay open the entire day on Friday, which is also a plus. The first thing you should know is the hours on Google aren 't correct. This business has a split schedule. Secondly, they apparently keep selling out and having to close early. They also have things crossed out on the menu because they are sold out. I eventually managed to try their food. They are behind Eat My Catfish and THINK Coffee in a black trailer. I 've made and consumed plenty of adobo in my life. I tried the grilled chicken breast adobo sandwich. I think it had only a mild adobo flavor in the chicken and it was very slightly on the tough side. The flavor combination

Got to Lola's and the service was super friendly. Not a ling wait at all about 15 minutes total for fresh hot food. Since it's based on an American twist on philpeno food it was really good! We have the spicy pork Adobe and the Chinatown noodles. We loved it. The egg rolls were to die for and even tasted great an hour later cold!!

My boyfriend and I got the lumpia, fried cheesecake, pork adobo, and the pulled adobo sandwich which may not be a permanent menu item, though it should be. Everything was beyond scrumptious. We?re definitely going to be back VERY soon.

Five stars only because there is not an options for more. I will be making the trip from Benton more often. Definitely one of Arkansas hidden gems.

My wife and I finally got a chance to try Lola's Filipino-American Eats today. This was our first time ordering Filipino food. Although today was the first day for the lunch menu, we ordered two different entrees off of the dinner menu so we would have two things to try and have some leftovers. We ordered the Pancit Bihon noodles, with shrimp, and told them to leave off the bell peppers. We also got the adobo chicken with the garlic fried rice. We finished off the order with the fried rolls (lumpia). We hoped to also get the deep fried cheesecake lumpia as well, but they were out of them by the time we arrived. They were very busy on this particular Friday for lunch, but the wait was reasonable, especially because I was able to sit inside my car in the air conditioner and wait on them to bring it out. The noodles had a great flavor, and reminded me of Singapore noodles you'd get from a Chinese restaurant. The shrimp was very fresh and the portion size was just fine for one person for dinner, especially with lumpia on the side. If I had to be picky, I'd ask for the salt content to be lowered a little next time we ordered them again, since I do try to watch my sodium intake, but other than that, we enjoyed this dish. The chicken was very tender and also had lots of flavor. I especially loved the vinegary sauce that comes with it. I really liked the garlic rice. It had tons of garlic, and I really love garlic. The real star of the show was the lumpia. I could eat those all day. The had lots of meat in them. Although everything was good, I'd be perfectly happy with a plate of the garlic rice and a stack of the lumpia. Next time I'll try to get there early enough to get some of the cheesecake lumpia as well. Please excuse my poor quality photos. I took them quickly because I was hungry and didn't want to wait to eat.
