We were eating a lot on our trip and I had so much fun. This spot was actually a craving of clay pot rice for Mama. I didn't do much research on the menu but I figured that The Clay Pot rice looked really good so I had to come over here and check it out. . My mama likes eel Clay Pot rice the most but we did not see that on the menu. We ended up ordering the Chinese Spirits with black bean sauce and Preserve Meats. Sadly there was only the sausage Chinese preserve meat. Also the pork spare ribs was on the soft side and has a gravy with black bean sauce which I didn't really like the way it was cooked. There was some crispy rice on the bottom which was great. Maybe we chose the wrong Clay Pot rice and next time I will try something different. But I really think they should have other preserved meet other than just the Chinese sausage. We were a little bit disappointed. . We also have their Quail soup which was really great and I loved it. The price point was reasonable and also there was a really nice Quail inside the soup. This was a great choice for the night. . It is quite small inside. They do have a clean restroom to use. Also there is a parking lot as well. The service was friendly and they did refill our tea. Overall I think this is a good spot for clay pot rice and I would go back and try another Clay Pot flavor. Hope this help and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day. read more

I love this place! We ordered the fried dumplings, a mixed soup hot pot, and rice with mixed Chinese sausage. Everything was really good and flavorful. The food came out nicely cooked and satisfying. The server was very nice and attentive, which made the experience even better. We were also lucky that it wasn't too crowded last night, so the atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a great meal and I'll definitely come back again. read more

Had a wonderful lunch here, came in on a Saturday and it was busy but we still managed to get seated quickly. We ordered the Catfish Porridge and the Clay Pot Rice with Chinese Sausage and Ribs (with an added egg on top). This was such a great portion size for two people. The porridge came out quickly, be prepared to wait a little for the Clay Pot. The flavors for both dishes were so nice and clean, felt healthy and not overly greasy or anything. This spot was cozy and casual, they serve hot tea alongside your meal as well. Clean and comfortable. Parking is available on the attached lot and on the street if needed. Can't wait to come back soon to try other dishes! read more

This place makes really good clay pot rice. The crispy rice, it's, um, all the way at the bottom. Um, so, unfortunately, it doesn't get crispy on the side. So if you want, like, maximum amount of crispiness, this place doesn't... definitely doesn't have the maximum amount of crispiness, but it's on the bottom. And the flavoring is so good. They make the soy sauce well balanced. And we got the frog, the Chinese sausage, and the ribs, all really great. Next time, I would definitely stick more to the ribs and the Chinese sausage. The frog didn't have as much flavor. This place is really small, and it does take thirty to forty minutes to make your rice. But as per usual, because if you know anything about hot rice. They make the rice and the vegetables and the raw meat all fresh inside the rice. So it's very typical. But, yes, this place does take forty minutes. I still give it a five star because the food is amazing. I had a really nice, um, refreshing dessert, which is their papaya and white fungus seed. And it wasn't too sweet. read more

Great start and very good portion size for the stone clay pot rice. Never had clay pot stone rice and this place was the best to try one! I originally came to try the herbal teas and shared the clay pot with my moms as it was too big for me to finish. Delish flavors we got the basic combo everything one. Great service as they were friendly as well. Will def be back! read more

It's an all around just ok/ barely ok. When it comes to clay pot rice, there's a few things that makes it good: the fragrant rice, just enough heat "wok hay" to give a nice rice crispy at the bottom, and the "special fragrant soy sauce". We were quite disappointed as this place lacks these three soulful elements to their clay pot rice. It's just an ordinary plate of rice cooked in a clay pot. Sad. Between the four of us, we each ordered a different clay pot rice. - the meat were rough and rather tasteless (not marinated / or not marinated well). In order words, not enough prep work in making a good dish. - for the Chinese sausage pot, man, the sausage pieces were paper thin and so slim pickings. it's almost embarrassing. - the sparerib with black bean sauce one was bad. Meat was tasteless and rough. it was either old or overcooked. - all clay pot barely had any rice crispy at the bottom. - soy sauce was not flavorful as it should be. It was just ordinary soy sauce. Then, we decided to try their dessert .. their special Gui Ling Gao (Herbal jelly) and it is also just ok, and quite expensive. With so many great eats in the 626, I'm not sure I'll give this place another go. :/ read more

The reason I have 2 soups is because the first one I received had a bug in it. The soups here taste exactly how they look. Bland and dull. Even with salt it has no flavor. What flavor there is doesn't seem fresh. I came here with my wife several years ago and really like their food. Not because it was so delicious, but because it tasted fresh and healthy. That is no longer the case. read more

If you're looking for a no frills Chinese herbal soups and clay pot rice restaurant then look no further. Nature Pagoda offers an array of items that will satisfy your health desires. We ordered a Tian Qi Chicken soup, which is herbal chicken soup. The soup was flavorful with bitter notes from the herbs. If this isn't your thing, there are more options. The pork rib claypot rice we ordered was just average for me. Maybe due to the dish being less salty, but that's my preference. However, the rice featured the trademark crisped bottom. Overall a good experience if you need something healthy and nourishing. read more

Came here with my cousin after a long roadtrip around 6 pm. Place was quite packed but we got seated after 10 minutes of waiting. I ordered the ribs and Chinese sausage claypot rice and I've got to say, the dish was stunning! The ribs were very tender and the Chinese sausage had the perfect balance of sweet and savory! The sauce mixed into the rice was delicious as well. Definitely will be coming back for more in the future. read more

A whole restaurant devoted to Chinese soups? So up my alley. They have quite a large menu of soups so while I tried just one, I am eager to try more. I came with my parents and we shared 1 soup and 2 claypot rice dishes. My pick for soup was the hog stomach with gingko. The soup was lacking in flavor. The broth itself didn't taste like it was made with sufficient quantity of bones or meat to really flavor the soup. I still appreciated having a restaurant serve this dish. This is the kind of soup that your grandmother or mom might make at home, with humble ingredients such as pig stomach, and would never otherwise grace a restaurant menu so for that, kudos. The rice dishes were fine. The Preserved meat with taro had both lap cheong (Chinese sausage) and lap yuk (preserved pork) with cubes of taro and steamed broccoli and you drizzle a delicious seasoned soy over it. The steamed ribs had a thick sauce so it was like the ribs were prepared separately and just laid over the rice. read more

So wished I could like this place for it's herbal and medicinal dishes. Canto Clay Pot, Herbal Medicinal Soups, and drinks. I think the quality has decreased over time. Maybe not enough eaters know how to eat for healthy anymore like back in the days? The SO came back from a hardcore camping trip with some wheezing, snoring, etc. It's not covid. I wanted replenishing, anti inflammatory ingredients that could help cool down, heal but still nourish the body. Prices for medicinal type of food and drinks cost more due to many times prices of ingredients to how long it takes to cook a soup. S2. Ginseng with Black Chicken Soups for Health (花旗參炖烏雞 Sam Hoa Ky ham gaac Canh Duong Sinh) $15.99. :( Pretty small in size and looks like leftovers of black chicken. But guess I can't be picky since it's a pretty expensive dish normally, and not made at menu places? Or maybe it's better to dine-in for some of these dishes? - I was stuck picking between ginseng or cordyceps flower. A quick google search showed ginseng replenishes (immunity, memory, support stress response) and cordyceps being increased stamina/boosting (lungs, kidneys, liver, intestinal). Easy choice for me to pick ginseng just as an overall booster. Dessert could help with the lungs instead. We also don't have any blood thinning issues so either would be fine for us. Clay Pots -- Add $3.25 for Egg, Sausage, Taro, or bamboo. H 17. COMBO CLAYPOT RICE (beef, chicken, Chinese sausage, vegetables). $15.99 - I chose the above vs H4. Chicken with Lily Flower & Fungus Clay Pot Rice, comes spicy $14.99. I'll have to try this next time. D10. Steamed Pear with White Fungus Dessert (川貝銀耳炖雪梨 Xuyen boi chung le) $7.50 Can be drank hot or cold. I like it cold. My mom would not approve that though. This came in a pretty small half or 1/4 size styrofoam bowl. This was okay. I'm glad it wasn't overly sweet but it was still sweeter than what I expected for an herbal medicinal place. T7. Cough Drink Tra xuyen boi lo. $7.50 Can be drank cold or hot. It's bitter. I've drank it before. It tastes a bit like water down black medicine. I visited this restaurant a very very long time ago for turtle soup. Supposedly the best turtle soup back back back in the day. read more

Nature Pagoda is a SGV establishment that has been here since I was a wee lad and is still going strong as evidenced by my visit this weekend for clay pot rice and herbal tea. This place was humming. I brought my buddy for the herbal tea to soothe our throats as both of us aren't used to the dryer SoCal climate. I prefer the 24 flavor herbal tea, hot, unsweetened. I got 2 bottles as takeaway for later. I got the chicken mushroom & my buddy got the lap cheung & ribs clay pot rice...both were very good, just as I had remembered. read more

BIG NO FOR THIS BUSINESS. I don't think this is coincidence, after I paid with my phone Google pay, then I got so many scam calls within the next hour (evening time), I've never got so many scam calls within 1 hour, and they called multiple times, using different/same number. Their payment system definitely is link to scammers or being hacked. Now I have to watch out my credit card to see if I got extra charges in the future. About the food, I order taro dessert, that is the worst I've ever eaten. read more

been craving for clay pot rice on a cold day. they are made to order so there will be a wait for them. compare to the ones I grew up with in Hong Kong, these are pretty good but not the MOST authentic. I personally like the rice to be more crispy but I understand they way they do it is for the most demographic. The staff is super friendly and efficient. and I definitely want to tried other items on their menu! read more

This was my first time trying this place because a family friend recommended it! Seeing how small and lowkey this place was, made me a little skeptical, but after trying the food, I know I'll be coming back time and time again. All the dishes I tried were hearty, healthy, and delicious! Their clay pot variety is vast and so are the veggies and other soups. Also, their service was phenomenal. I never had to ask for additional tea because they're so proactive in refilling my cup with it! The tea happens to taste really good too! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to eat a fulfilling meal! read more

My cousin and I stopped by this spot to try out their clay pot rice during our recent trip to socal. Long story short, if you happen to be in the area and am craving claypot, stop by but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to eat here. Parking: we didn't see any attached parking lot but it was late when we arrived. There's plenty of street parking available. Ambiance: hole in the wall type of place. Small restaurant with limited seating so go early or late as it seemed like they do get busy during rush hour. Good place to chill with close friends who don't mind the minimum decor or with family. Service: for a Cantonese place, it's decent enough. We got seated immediately and offered tea right away. Our order didn't take long to arrive and they made sure we had everything to enjoy the food. They were also nice enough to allow us to split our check. Food: we ordered the cordyceps flower with hog's tail soup (no MSG and tasted so good, just like my mom's homemade soup), ribs with black bean sauce claypot (seasoned well but rice was too soggy), and a plate of onh-choy. Cost was reasonable, given the portion size. read more

The taste is fine but the portions are very small. My senior mother enjoyed the dish though.

Have been knowing NP for several decades and have been many times but didn't write a review!? Consistency is the key that NP has been doing so perfectly!! All Clay Pot Rice with all kinds of favorite are doing so delicious and the temperature are just right on!! Hot enough but not too bad, self made soy sauces made those hot rice so tasty!! Unfortunately the desserts I liked Steamed Egg and Steamed Milk with Ginger Syrup were sold out!! Then I just have a cold taro taro sago... still tasty, but Steamed Egg or Milk are the best for Chinese desserts... I ordered Spareribs and Chinese Sausage Rice n Winter Melon Ice Tea!!! Delicious foods and a warm night in the winter!! read more

Brought a group here to try out their clay pot rice, one of the things they are known for. We ordered 3 different clay pot rice: Pork Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce, Pumpkin with Preserved Meat, and Mushroom with Chicken. While the rice does get crispy on the sides and at the bottom (if you let the rice sit for about 5 minutes before diving into it), there wasn't enough flavor to the rice, even with the small bowl of soy sauce to douse all over the rice and toppings. The ratio of toppings to rice was a little off, and I think a better house-made soy-based sauce (like dark soy sauce or sweet soy sauce) would have added more flavor to the entire dish. What we had was good but not great. We ordered some skewers, vegetable dishes and a herbal soup. While the size of the chicken wings (skewers) was big, they were just OK, much like the other dishes and soup. Service was good. Place is rather small, and they do get busy an hour after they open. read more

What's up: In the mood for clay pot rice and I've read reviews that this is THE place for it. And if you're interested in traditional Chinese herbal drinks, they got that too! Parking: They have a small private lot that's only one way. You'll exit through the back alley and onto a street. Environment: This is a small place with 8 or 9 tables. Use the side entrance near the parking lot, the front door does not open. There's a clipboard right next to the door on the outside that serves as the waitlist. When we were seated, we were given complementary hot tea. The food took a while to arrive, but that's to be expected with clay pot rice. Staff members were busy and shuffled around the tables but always made time to refill our hot tea. What was ordered: - Curry Beef Clay Pot (yummy curry) - Ribs with Black Bean Sauce Clay Pot (good flavor, juicy ribs) - Taro with Preserved Meat Clay Pot (not a fan of the soft taro, but you can't go wrong with preserved meats) - Magaul Salted Fish with Ground Pork Clay Pot (surprisingly good) - Wong Lou Gat (not too bitter) - Gui Ling Guo (pretty good, don't forget to add the syrup) - Sesame Paste (super smooth, not too sweet) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, the food was pretty good. Things were tasty and not too sweet. The only downside is the wait. The crispy rice crust is hit or miss, with some forming decently well at the bottom and some being non existent. It's a small place so seating is limited. Credit cards are accepted. read more

This place is infamous for its claypot and herbal soup! I ordered Rib & Sausage Claypot and it came with thick sauce to pour on the top, in addition to On Choy as vegetable option. This place has been in the industry for many years, however they don't make it more spacious as it is quite small. The only hiccups that I had only the vegetable order came first, however for the claypot, I was seeing several customers who came after me, had the food serve quicker than me?! And by the time my claypot rice came, vegetable already cold! read more

My boyfriend and I only waited about 10 min for our table. - Four Herb and Black Chicken Soup: 4/5 good herbal flavor a little bit bitter in flavor but reminded me of home - Pork Rib and Preserved Meat Clay Pot 3/5: pork was a little bit dry and the sauce for the pot overall didn't have much flavor - enjoyed the crispy rice though - also liked mixing in the soup - Taro Sago 5/5: perfectly sweet with lots of sago and light coconut flavor Have small parking lot, but there was aplenty of street parking too. read more

*** Accepts Credit Cards *** Frog and quail? You have come to the right place. Nature Pagoda is a small family-owned restaurant (opened in 1997) specializing Hong Kong-style clay pot rice. I always wanted to visit this place for the last 10+ years and I finally had a chance to give this place a try. The restaurant opens 7 days a week (including holidays). Yes customers can also order dishes like clay pot rice with fresh frogs, flamed quails, and other traditional Chinese herbal items like the signature & popular herbal jelly Gui Ling Gao. [Parking]: There's a small private parking lot. Free parking, but beware the lot can get pretty packed at 12:30 PM on Saturday. [Amenities]: The staff started with complimentary hot tea. Restroom is located inside the kitchen. [Menu]: The two signature items are clay pots and Gui Ling Gao. Other miscellaneous items include various herbal teas, Chinese herbal soups (ginseng with black chicken, cordyceps flower with hog's tail, etc), porridge, skewers (beef sticks, chicken sticks, etc), and desserts (lotus seed with red beans, bird's nest with ginseng, etc). *** H16 Ribs with Chinese Sausage Clay Pot ($15.99): It certainly took awhile (approximately 30 minutes) just to serve one clay pot. Unlike other clay pot places, clay pot here came with a separate sauce and you will need to pour it over the rice. Sauce didn't taste super salty so don't be shy on pouring all of it. Rib quality was mediocre, but the overall flavor was pretty solid. T1 Gui Ling Gao ($8.99): The staff asked when to serve this bitter and sweet dessert and I said at the end of the meal. The cold jelly came with a side of honey because jelly itself tasted fairly bitter. Apparently the jelly is considered a 'blood cooling' medicine as well as aids in toxin removal and boosts urine output. *** This cafe is definitely worth a visit for anyone who want to try legit clay pot and Gui Ling Gao. Just know that no matter how good a clay pot can taste, it is still ultimately a pot of rice with different topping & the ceiling has already been capped. read more

I haven't had clay pot rice in about a year and I'm so glad I found this spot. It's a hole in the wall in the 626 and their food is just so comforting. It's a pretty small place with only a couple of tables and a few workers. I ordered the clay pot rice with ribs and preserved sausages with a side of pan fried dumplings. The portions here are pretty large and it was good enough to share. The ratio of rice to toppings was well balanced as well. The rice was nice and crispy at the bottom and the pan fried dumplings were also really crispy yet soft. This meal was really comforting and I'd definitely come back to try a different clay pot rice. The parking is pretty small and it's a one way. At the time I went, it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of spots. The servers were really nice! The food does take a while to come out, but everything is made to order, so don't be too hungry when you come. Overall, a great spot and I highly recommend this place be your next food adventure. read more

Friendly service. Came on a weekday lunch so no wait at all. Inside is well air-conditioned. The herbal teas are on the house for dine in, and they are very popular (saw lots of people coming in to buy it for to-go)! Tried the salted fish and tofu claypot for 13.99 and it comes out hot on a heated claypot so you can get that rice crust! Overall pretty solid, good price for portion, tho I think I'd benefit from getting an additional dish to compliment the rice instead of just eating claypot. read more

The waitress is friendly and the service is quick and down-to-earth. Credit payment is accepted for $20+. read more

My love for comfort Chinese food and coffee knows no bounds. This weekend finally took time to stop by Nature Pagoda-- older building but inside this small venue is a non-nonsense set up for good solid clay pot and classic soup!! There are limited tables -- about 8 or 9 so be prepared to wait if you come during peak times. It's a tight squeeze but hey, you're there for the food not strolling around the shop. The shop seems to be ran by 3 efficient people -- a cook and two hostesses. The service is reasonable and exactly what you'll expect at a mom-pop shop. We order the classic ginger black chick soup --- just like how my dad would've made it. The ginger and chicken and perfect for 2- 4 generous servings bowls. I love it so much that I order one extra to go! We tried the classic clay pots -- Chinese sausage with pork rib, Salty fish with beef patty and the catfish with black bean sauce. All came with the good amount of rice at the base and a bowl of the classic sweet, soy sauce. Chinese Sausage w/ Pork (4/5). It's good but the veggie is two broccoli stalks so that's odd. I expected bak choy along with mushrooms. Salted Fish w/ Beef Patty (5/5). This was a surprise! It taste so good and had silver of chopped jalapeños and juliann ginger. This a a rock solid combination! Catfish w/Black Bean Sauce (3/5). This dish was a letdown. The creation have potential but fell short is a couple thin slices of catfish, again two bland broccoli stalks, and over drenched of bean sauce. It's not good at all. Regardless, I walked away happy and already making plans to come back in the coming weeks to try the other soups! read more

Service is excellent. A young man served us and he knew the menu inside out. Apparently there is a more "feminine" chicken soup and he recommended one to us when we asked what the difference was. Although it was a little too herbal for my flavor, I really enjoyed the consistent clay pot rice, and who am I kidding? The reason I go there is for the ginger milk dessert. If you haven't tried it, it's like the best pudding you could ever get. Expect a wait for dine in during peak hours, limited seating. read more

The store looks pretty small and easy to miss from the outside, but inside, it's all about traditional and classic Cantonese food, desserts, and drinks. My favorite is the Guilinggao.

Wanted something hot to feel warm and toasty, so stopped by with my mom. It wasn't crowded on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered two clay pots: ribs with black bean sauce and chicken with lily flower & fungus and one soup: Hog's Stomach with Ginkgo Nuts. The Hog's Stomach with Ginkgo Nuts soup was not piping hot... that was disappointing. It was good, I think it was a bit bitter and spicy due to the pepper. This soup is good for stomach problems. The chicken with lily flower & fungus clay pot was my favorite. It was very flavorful, without the sauce. The chicken was moist, soft, and smooth. The lily flowers were delicious, great flavor omg and they also good for acne, a plus! The clay pot was 很香. The ribs with black bean sauce clay pot was good too, not as hot in my opinion as the chicken one but somewhat hot. The ribs were very flavorful, a stronger taste than the chicken one, chicken one was lighter. It was still good, but my fav was the chicken. Overall, I would recommend this place for clay pots! read more

This place gets packed really quickly so if you miss the 11:30 opening time it's hard to get a seat. Restaurant is small, only like 7-8 tables. You would have to wait 1-2 hours if you arrive around 12 pm. Saw so many yelpers leaving great reviews, I just had to come and try it myself! I was feeling tired this whole week because of jet-lag so I was feeling something hot and soupy. The herbal soup was perfect for the situation. Ordered the ginseng with black chicken soup, spare ribs and Chinese sausage casserole, water spinach, and for dessert got the steamed egg with ginger sauce and taro sago . Let's just say I was stuffed but a happy camper. I would definitely come here again ! read more
