Ordered a beef and broccoli. She asked if I wanted mushrooms and I said sure why not. First my rice came out by its self. Sat there for a good 4 mins almost 5 before she brought my dish out not even including the other meal that was ordered. Food was loaded with bamboo shoots and water chest nut which I didn't ask for and is was in the detail on menu when it said "broccoli and beef" dish had maybe 4 or 5 pieces of broccoli. Was very disappointed. I asked nicely if I could get my dish fixed and my waitress was very rude to me telling me it's going to take longer with a attitude. So I got up and left. They couldn't even bring the meals out at the same time. Who the heck does that???!!!

Ummm….yeah. Where I am from we don’t have drive thrus for Chinese food. Maybe you order it ahead and drive thru to pick it up here but….yeah…This fact is why I have always put Chinese food or Asian food in general on a bit of a pedestal because it is hand crafted and takes time to prepare with its plethora of unique spices. I wanna see big flames shooting out from under a pot while the cook displays his wrist work after I swipe my VISA. I ordered the shrimp fried rice to keep it simple as my expectations were not grande based on aesthetics. Sometimes aesthetics can fool you but in this case it was an accurate indicator of mediocrity. I’m guessing egg prices have forced this establishment to go with chopped carrots as a substitution in fried rice? Hmmmm…inflation? Well I was slightly deflated when I opened my Hefty Branded container showcasing its contents. Bottom line. It was not great. It was not awful. If you’d like Chinese food in a pinch and the ability to get it from the comfort of your Ford Taurus bucket seat…this might be a local option. Get soy.Thanks for reading as I travel. I dabble and I babble.Real Reviews Everything!

I went thru the drive thru and the lady helping me was very short in talking and abrupt I tried asking a few questions but she shut the window in my face the fried rice with beef is a no go again maybe beef Jerry with rice. Shrimp fried rice was wonderful even though most would say the shrimp was raw. Egg rolls were really good. Hot and sour soup was a delight.

It was ok not up to par as normal it's bad enough they did away with the dinner for 2 but seems as though the portions got smaller as well , our server told us the soup was sold individually now which is weird for it to be priced $4 and some change on the menu but when 2 other tables came in they were served a huge bowl of soup . Just feels like the money worth is not of value I'll just continue to go to Kyoto across the street and get more fuller Unfortunately they were closed today .

Really great food and service. The spicy sauce that comes with the pot stickers (if you elect for spicy) is sooooo good! We ask for extra to put on our rice.

I ordered sweet & sour shrimp sauce as I waited for my food! As I got home as started eating my food. Under the bottom of my food I started finishing. Than I found a romaine tomato covered with the sauce. It looked like a piece of shrimp then I sit it on top of dang white rice! Hardly no shrimp just white rice.

I enjoy good Chinese food on a regular basis. I saw some of the reviews so decided to try the China Inn. I was sorely disappointed! Although the serving sizes were good, I would have been better off chewing on the styrofoam plates. I actually orsers two plates and egg rolls so feel I gave them a chance. The garlic chicken did not have even a hint of garlic. The egg rolls were bland and the sweet n sour sauce was watered down.
I think I got the wrong food but it's great.I ordered garlic chicken.I didn't see or taste garlic.I saw mushrooms and chicken.My food was ready in 2 minutes or less.Great value.You can eat lunch under $8.

I ordered garlic chicken.I didn't see garlic or taste it but the food was fast and delicious.I saw mushrooms and chicken so I may have gotten the wrong order but it came out in just afew minutes.I went home and made burritos with hot sauce.The cook special is $7.50 or $8.15 with tax .The lunch specials are $6.95+ tax .The rice is made with orange juice and orange peels.You can see the peels. I don't care if I got my order right as long as it tastes good.The wrong order was why I said 4 stars.

Friendly staff. I usually Love the Lemon Chicken, but this time it wasn't as good. All the food is usually great. Will definitely give them another try

China Inn is the best Chinese restaurant in Texarkana! Food was delicious and service was excellent as always. For takeout Chinese. This is the best. Had the Garlic chicken and chicken fried rice. Plus egg rolls.
