Lee's China in Texarkana sits at a steady three stars on Yelp -- not a warning, not a promise…read more Just... there. My plan was simple: order something bulletproof. Egg drop soup and pork-and-shrimp spring rolls. Low risk. Except when I ordered the spring rolls, I was told they're actually chicken. Not pork. Not shrimp. Chicken. Plot twist. I declined. I'd tried calling ahead -- the phone rang endlessly -- so I ordered in person. I patiently sat near the dining room. It's clear this is a largely take out (Grubhub business). Mr. Lee was nowhere to be seen. I'm guessing he moved away decades ago. The people working there now looked like would easily work at a Taqueria. The soup appeared almost immediately, clearly prepped and waiting for its moment. I asked for crispy noodles. "No, that's all you get." Now, the soup. This was not a delicate, silky egg flower broth. This was Campbell's Hearty Chicken Noodle... minus the noodles. Bamboo shoots. Water chestnuts. Peas. Big chunks of chicken. And celery -- which feels like a bold editorial choice in egg drop soup. Price: $8. Ambitious for what I assumed would be a side. Instead, I got a full entrée disguised as a classic. Was it bad? No. Was it egg drop soup? That's debatable. I didn't try anything else out of fear but three stars feels right. If you enjoy culinary reinterpretations, this might be your spot. If you're looking for textbook egg drop soup with quiet restraint and crispy noodles, expect creative liberties.

So, I was so excited when I found out Osakas was opening in Texarkana decades later. My daughter loves Osaka's kid fried rice with steak, sushi , yummmm yummmmm sauce, edamame, but most of all, she loves the entertainment! It's fun to see her interact with the chef, just like I did back in the 90's -- haha. But seriously, it really opened her taste buds and now she wants to go every week - she's 7! I recently took her and one of her BFF's after school. They stole all my change because the coin pond kept them busy before the chef was ready . The chefs are hilarious and the service is always fantastic. And most of all, not only is it tasty, it's a super clean restaurant (restrooms included)! It's a fun place to take the kiddos , have a fun date night, or night with your girlfriends! Highly recommend!

I felt like something was off with my taste buds so I asked for teriyaki sauce, the chef poured up a bowl for AND I COULD SEE THROUGH IT! It was sugar water with no flavor. It's the whitest Japanese food you can get. I get it, the whole family covered thier food in "yum yum" sauce so they didn't notice the lack of flavor. For me this is a hard, no. Its like going out for Mexican and going to taco bell. Plus.. They add 16% to the check for the chef then you have to tip. So on top of a 20-30$ meal you're adding about 30% for the workers. Nope No Not going back.

The miso soup and side salad with the ginger dressing are ALWAYS nice! My mother is not much on sushi items so she chose the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and it was great too! We will return again and again I am sure! The service is alway impeccable here!

So we started…read moreout with the regular sashimi platter with 15 pieces of sashimi, spicy salmon roll and the always favorite yellowtail jalepeno appetizer. It was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. I have started ordering a spicy salmon roll at every sushi restaurant because I think if they can make a good spicy salmon roll then every other roll will probably be just as good. The service here is always great and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would like to try more of their dishes whenever we are in Texarkana next.

I calls them, the lady who answers and the same one who took my order wants to argue with me and tell me what I ordered. I know what the HELL I ordered for just one person. I even asked to bring it back tomorrow, yeah I know it would get thrown away. It's going to get thrown away at my house! I didn't want $20 worth of EXTRA FOOD!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

A little nervous cause no…read moreother cars parked in lot, but thinking no biggie, it's Chinese, they probably to a lot of delivery or takeout. Walk in and no one else seated. Still a little nervous, but between the decor and the sweet lady who showed us to our table and got us settled, I was feeling like this place was legit about to be awesome. The decor was authentic and everything you want in a little hole in the wall Chinese food restaurant. We decided to get both the combos for a little variety and so we could try several things at once. Sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice, lo mein, and egg rolls. After ordering, could hear it being stirred up in a wok in the kitchen. Wonderful! It's fresh made! Munched on some fried wontons while we waited. Food came out and looked amazing. I've never been served sweet and sour chicken with the sauce already on it, usually in a little cup on the side. But I liked it and it was so good. both the sweet and sour chicken and the sesame chicken were perfect. Sauced but still crunchy. All the pieces similar in size and just the right bite size. I hate when you get little pieces and then big chunks. Fried rice was delish. Lo mein was so good, not dry but not too much sauce. Egg rolls were just the crispy taste I wanted. Everything about the meal hit the spot. We will most definitely be back. So glad to find some really good Chinese in Texarkana.

Hushpuppies were a little spicy, coleslaw was very tasty and fresh. The french fries were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I love homemade frech fries. They ran out of banana pudding, or I would have ordered some to go. Service was nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean and had booths and tables.
