It's a cute and quaint little hole in the wall restaurant and when we arrived we didn't see any others. BUT we were pleasantly surprised! We loved all the dishes that we got. The kapoon (curry noodles), the Thai sausage (very unique for TC's - hard to find here), and pho cao (steamed rice rolls) were delicious! Everything came out warm, the waitress was very attentive, and the ambiance of the place felt very homey! The only thing I would note is that the Kapoon is a little bit fishy because they use fermented fish sauce, if you're not used to that then it could be jarring. Would definitely come here again!

Same with the egg rolls, lots of meat and veggies! Kapoon is for those who like it creamier w/ coconut and it is delicious. My grandmother was surprised how much meat they added. Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

There were a great variety of delicious sushi, Chinese and southeast Asian dishes, enough to please everyone in your groups palette. The restaurant is really busy, we also saw lots of food order pick up's. The service was great even for our party of 10, which we called ahead and made reservations for. We had the pleasure of meeting the 2 brothers that owned the restaurant, Teng Ly who is the chef & Futchy Ly who is the sushi chef. They are really great, hard working & wonderful people! The portions are pretty big so pricing is fair. The entree's are served family style. The flavors of the food were big and on point and you will go home stuffed. We ordered a lot more entrees but the food was so delicious, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them before they got devoured! Everything was perfect, our party was pleased. We will definitely be stopping in every time we can, when we are in town.

They also use the old-school cardboard containers (without metal handles) so food can be easily re-heated without health & environmental concerns. I personally get turned off by plastic, or stryofoam containers when they're used to store/serve hot food. I also appreciate the convenience of ordering via doordash, and the ability to customize orders in the comments. Pagoda isn't known for ambiance, but it's great for chinese takeout. Highly recommended!

My friend opted for an appetizer lunch b option. I'll definitely be back to try other gluten free options.

The chairs and tables were the type you'd expect at a Vietnamese restaurant; iykyk. The guy was prompt and brought our menus which was pretty slim being a double sided landscaped. More a Chinese restaurant than Viet, but it did have a section for Bun and Pho. Entree: Kung Pao Chicken It was tasty, the brown sauce was fairly generic, but in a good way. Like you'd want the consistency in a neighborhood restaurant, but you wouldn't drive out your way to get it. The chicken could use a bit more quality control since there were some grizzly pieces, but not enough to ruin the meal. The vegetables had a good crunch and were expected in a kung pao dish; carrots, onion, celery, peanuts. The portion was generous enough for leftovers or one very hungry adult male.

Wide selection that includes a good salad bar and plenty of solid Asian staples like fried rice, potstickers, a variety of stir-fry meat & veggie dishes, and plenty of other similar offerings.

I don't eat sushi so I can't review it from experience, but it always looks like they know what they're doing over there. Honestly when I'm here, I fill up on the rice and noodle dishes, and the potstickers. Those simple dishes are done right. I think the price is fair for what you get. I never mind when my cousin makes us come here.
