Hanaroo moving to Center St.

Hanaroo Sushi Bar, also a Japanese restaurant with Korean menu items, 205 W. Capitol Ave., Little Rock, is moving, sometime by the end of November, to 215 Center St., the space Three Fold Noodles and Dumpling Co. vacated to move to 611 Main. Details are still sketchy, including whether the restaurant will keep the same hours — currently 11 a.m.—2:30 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, 5-9:30 p.m. Saturday. The phone number is (501) 301-7900.

We now have confirmation, from the owner’s daughter, that Arkansas Burger Company, 7410 Cantrell Road, Little Rock, has closed for good. Jana Hunter says after her father, Dan Spencer, had a diabetic episode July 17, she put a handwritten note on the front door noting the restaurant would be temporarily closed due to a personal health problem. His doctors eventually persuaded Spencer, 78, it was time to retire. Hunter reports a deal to buy the restaurant has fallen through, so Spencer is closing it. “Daddy fulfilled a lifelong dream when he started Arkansas Burger Company,” she notes. “As a 12-year-old growing up in Memphis, he’d spend his earnings from his newspaper delivery job on, what else, hamburgers.”

We reported a couple of weeks ago that Forty Two, the restaurant in the Clinton Presidential Center, 1200 President Clinton Ave., Little Rock, would remain open and continue serving lunch during the transition (including a major remodeling) to 42 bar and table, still scheduled to debut Nov. 2. That turned out to be, well, optimistic. Chef Michael Selig last week “updated the renovation timeline,” which has involved “a brief interruption and a modification of Forty Two’s current lunch service,” according to a news release; the restaurant will be offering only limited lunch service through Nov. 1 — essentially grab-and-go salads (three), soups (three), sandwiches (three) and a selection of sweets. The new restaurant should be up and running for lunch and dinner (they’re adding 4-10 p.m. Thursday-Saturday dinner service) on schedule. Lunch hours will remain 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Saturday. The bar will remain open until midnight Thursday-Saturday. The phone number remains (501) 537-0042; the website is now dineatfortytwo.com.
