What a find! We were looking for something close to the highway and were very impressed by the bright flavors and quality ingredients. The vegetarian Tom yum soup was thick with peppers, musrooms, baby corn and tofu and lots of spice. We weren't sure what to expect when we walked in: strip mall location, no one else there and lots of tables filled with empty dishes. So glad we stayed for the excellent mean and very friendly service.

Have enjoyed several meals here in the last few months. Today had the Garlic sauce stir fry, which had a delicious, tangy sauce. On previous visits have found other stir fries excellent- especially the one with black bean sauce. My wife rates the shrimp pad Thai as outstanding. Very good ice tea. Nicely decorated dining room. Service always friendly and efficient. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Have eaten here many times since it opened in 1982. Always consistant good food and great service. Nice buffets for lunch and dinner, good variety and constantly replenished. They are now closed on weekends. Sam is always coming out and talking to his customers and it you have little kids he has a surprise for them to take home.

My husband and I first discovered Pagoda five years ago. We had just moved back to the area and were anxious to try out some of the local haunts. When we were seated we asked the waitress about the most "authentic" meals on the menu. She tartly replied that the menu did not offer anything authentic, that the menu was made for Americans. Mr. Sweet and Sour Chicken, that means you. She then shared that the owner and chef did hail from the old country and had the ability to make some incredible meals. She offered to ask him if he would whip something up for us, which he gamely agreed to do. We had no idea what we were getting mind you. What he delivered completely changed the way I think about Chinese food. A beautiful filet of sole poached in ginger, soy and garlic; chinese greens (watercress) blanched with ginger and garlic, ma po tofu (a delicious combination of soft tofu and ground beef/lamb in a spicy red sauce with fresh rice) and finally crispy rice (a combination of chicken, beef, shrimp, onions, peppers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, garlic and peppers in a simmering sauce served over toasted popped rice cakes). It was incredible and delicious. Over our many visits, we have since gotten to know the owners. Despite repeated requests to add their Chinese specialties to the menu, the owner is still convinced that Americans are not interested in eating real Chinese food. The owners are the salt of the earth and I love supporting a local restaurant operated by such good people.The food is always incredible. The service is great. Last year, the restaurant was forced to move to the Sunrise Center off of White Bear Avenue. It is a smaller location, but the food is just as wonderful. I have since come to learn that there are a number of regulars who also order items that are not on the menu. I cannot speak to the menu items because I've never eaten them. I agree with Jessica F that most Chinese food is prepared with Americans in mind and is very greasy. I encourage you to go off the grid. Ask for crispy rice or ma po tofu. Inquire about the sole, although that is usually a call ahead item, or the chinese greens. It is so worth it.

I have frequented this location for years. However, most often even at busy times, they are either out of food or it looks like it has been sitting there all day. The Asia Fit items are few and I always have to order it. But it is worth the wait, because then it is fresh. If you don't see it, ask for it!
