Highly recommend Pagoda for all you can eat dim sum. This is definitely good for family style. Although this location is much smaller than their previous location, parking is better. Didn't get any pictures but they well have menu specials when they gave fresh seafood too. Ginger scallion lobster is a must. Chinese broccoli with garlic is cross delicious and refreshing. We also like the beef chow fun. Try the fried soft shell crab from dim sum and the beef tripe. The only I would say I expected more from is the chili oil. Not spicy or flavorful. Service is quick and we never had to ask or wait for water refills. The all you can drink mimosas are good too. read more

Very friendly service and staff. The mussels were huge and it was a good recipe. The sesame balls were also good. Warm, crisp outside... They kept my water glass filled and all the food was good and parking was easy. It was after 8 pm and I was lucky to find something besides fast food. This was a great find, with delicious food. read more

The restaurant is spacious, and quiet. A great place to meet and catch up with friends. There's lots of parking available. We ordered dimsum and a lunch special. The kung pao chicken was the best dish we ordered. The fried rice is delicious and the chicken was just slightly crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. We also ordered shumai, bbq pork buns, steamed custard bun, and soup dumplings. They give you chili oil and soy sauce. I'd say the dim sums were ok, given that I've been to places like Ha di lao and Din Tai fung, so my standards are quite high. The service was wonderful, quick, polite, attentive. read more

We had dim sum here, which they serve everday. There is also menu of larger entrees. While we there another table ordered a lobster dish, which looked amazing. We tried a lot of the smaller dishes. Pig's feet, fried squid, spare ribs, sticky rice, and turnip cake - all so good! They have a variety of beverages and beer, wine and alcohol. The staff and owner couldn't be any more welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

Our favorite Dim Sum spot! I've posted a review on this spot before and I'm doing it again. Everyone is so friendly and attentive here - you walk in hungry and probably have to be rolled out. They consistently come around and your plate/table is never empty. I crave this just about every week and wish we lived closer than an hour and thirty minutes so I could enjoy it more often! read more

Pagoda - Dim Sum Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Pagoda has been around for decades! It used to be by the University of Minnesota, but it got replaced by a McDonald's years ago.... Back then, it was one of my favorite spots as a student, so I was pretty sad when it was closed. Imagine my excitement when I found out it's back in Roseville! We went for their weekend dim sum and loved it. You can either order from the carts or choose the dim sum buffet. The prices are super reasonable, and there are tons of options to pick from. The dim sum is legit--authentic and delicious! Plus, parking is easy since it's in a shopping mall area. The service is quick and friendly, but be ready for a wait if you're going on the weekend. It's usually packed, so you might have to wait at least 15 minutes. They have a lot of tables. However, if you're not into sitting close to other people or want a quiet meal, weekends might not be the best time to visit. It's definitely busy, but the energy makes it fun! read more

Pagoda - Dim Sim - Dim Sum Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

We came here for the all you can eat dim sum. We were heavily disappointed, most of the food was pretty cold or just lukewarm and the taste wasn't really there either. We tried to get every single dumpling and item that was available in the all you can eat promotion. I would say the one thing that I actually enjoyed was the chicken feet and would recommend if anyone visits this restaurant to give that a go. We were not huge fans of some of the steam buns, you could tell that they had really been sitting in the tray for a while. I feel like a restaurant like this is really good when the food's coming out straight from the kitchen, but if it's been sitting, this is an absolute no go. The restaurant is pretty however, and the service was really great with all of the wait staff being very kind and helpful. read more

Pagoda is our main go to place especially when we're craving pork siomai! Absolutely delicious and just hits the spot -- all the noodles we've tried has been amazing. Service is always good and they recognize our family coming in now!! Pagoda always feels like home from catering with students in the dinky town location to catering families in Roseville :) our personal favorites are siomai like listed earlier, shrimp ball, young chow fried rice, chicken wing, salt and pepper pork chop, beef lo mein and chow fun and many more. There's AYCE on weekends with a lot of options !!! Plus bottomless mimosas. Definitely makes my weekend! This is where we talk all our friends coming visiting! read more

We definitely enjoyed it here. Parking is great as they are in a huge shopping center with a lot of available spots. I felt like it started off slow when I arrived as no one really greeted me when I walked into the restaurant even with only one table filled. It improved once I got someone's attention and got seated though. Inside it is a nice eatery featuring classic Sichuan specialties & dim sum. We opted to share dim sum. The service was consistently attentive and friendly. Each dish arrived fresh and they came out fairly quick. It's not the best dim sum spot I've been to but they definitely do a good job. read more

The staff was so friendly! I stopped by for a meal between shifts. I was the only one there at 445/5 on a Thursday haha. Though that was a little uncomfortable, I took advantage of their happy hour BOGO half off apps. For $20 I had some delicious pot stickers (the sauce... I could eat it on anything) and salt and pepper wings! It was more food than I could eat! The wings were some of the best I've had, even comparing non Asian restaurants! I want to get back here for their AYCE dim sum (aka small bites). If it had been a little livelier I would give it 5 stars! read more

If I can give this place a zero, I would. First of all, please do not go here for their all you can eat dim sum. The selection is small; just order off the menu. They took almost 30 minutes for our first order-- on top of that, they missed a lot of what we ordered. And what we did order, they eventually served it to our other patrons explaining to them, that the party who ordered this, left. Waiters were rude, service was awful, and prices were outrageous. $40 per person for 2 servings of shu mai, 2 Chinese broccolis, 4 orders of chicken feet (12 pieces altogether) 1 taro bun, 2 pork ribs and a cup of hot tea. Lol. Our mistake. I asked the waiter for our check 3 times and they acted as they couldn't understand. Instead-- it was provided to everyone else after us. Anywhos-- We were much too nice. Not worth it at all. Pleaseeeeeeee, go elsewhere. Pro: shumai is good Cons: everything else. It's a 2 hour time limit for all you can eat. So factor the time they take to bring out your first order (30+ minutes)... we really paid $40 per person to share $80 worth of food. Perhaps, it's our fault that I'm not confrontational.... I didn't call them out at the time, but honestly... go elsewhere. Lol. What a joke. Anyway-- mediocre food for ass service. read more

Pagoda in Roseville (right by Rosedale Mall) is offering a 4 for $40 special. What a great offer! It's for a limited time and the conditions of the deal: 1) any menu item under $25 2) spread the word on social media once done 3) only valid Tuesday-Friday. The food and service were excellent! Definitely coming back soon! What we ordered: Seafood and vegetables crispy noodles - nice amount of quality seafood, noodles were fried to perfection 5/5 Crispy garlic fish - so light, juicy, and crispy! 5/5 Kung Pao Beef - overall good with lots of peanuts 4/5 Pork with Garlic Sauce- overall good with a nice balance of bamboo shoots, wood ear, and pork 4/5 Service was definitely 5/5 Restaurant was clean, lots of space and plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall read more

This place hits every time!! I've been coming here a long time and it's mainly due to the customer service. They are so nice and friendly here unlike a lot of dim sum places. Very clean and not pushy. They also have many things on the regular menu not at other restaurants. 10/10 every time! read more

We came back to try more menu options before their summer 4 for $40 deal expires. Our favorite dishes are still: Honey Walnut Shrimp Beef Chow Fun Beef Brisket Hot Pot Service was hit or miss. Multiple servers asked for my order as soon as I arrived and needed some time to look at the menu, but then we had to wait and flag someone down for service after that. Ambiance is simple and casual. read more

I really wanted dimsum but didn't expect much any in st paul, boy was i wrong. This place was excellent the food was delicious, portion sizing was great and pricing was reasonable. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and I noticed the chef even came out at the end to check how we liked the food. All in all its a great place if your not sure if you'll like it come anyways. We'll be back. Maybe I'll say hi, but probably not because I'll be focused on my yummy food read more

First, the staff here is outrageously friendly. If you've never had dim sum, it's kind of a unique experience. There's a menu with a bunch of items that you write a check mark next the items you want to order. I love the brothy dumplings! They come out hot, so make sure you avoid what I did (burned my taste buds) and be patient. The fried rice could have been more fried. It has a very light color. You can taste the oil, more than a toasted flavor. However, I still enjoyed it! read more

Hungry for Chinese takeout and saw that Pagoda does ala carte dim sum so I ordered for dinner. Steamed pork spare ribs ($6.95), fried dumpling football ($6.95 hom sui gok), pork and shrimp shu mai ($6.95), and chicken and pork sticky rice ($8.95). It was a good mix of my favorites. Just didn't see any steamed rice noodles with roast pork or beef. $32 for everything. read more

We loved being served dim sum from the traditional carts. Good variety of dumplings, vegetables, and baked and steamed items. Service was excellent. Cute space that works well. Be aware there are two choices for how to pay and the entire table must agree: pay by the dim sum plate, or pay for all you can eat. Depending on your appetite, the first option might be a better value. read more

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants from way back when they were in Dinkytown. The new space is different but still have a very nice vibe. They have these really cool masks on the wall, one of which is Sun Wukong. I'm a fan. The food hear is always so good. I like to see what they post on social media and try whatever looks great to me. The pig intestines and salt and pepper squid are really tasty. The prices are very affordable and are great for "Family Style" eating. If you come for lunch, they have cheap specials that have large portions. Dim Sum AYCE- I love going for the dim sum. Dim sum really adds up at any restaurant. Sure, each dish would be $3-$6 and quick eats, but that can get out of hand real quick. With the all you can eat, you can try everything and pay the same price. They also have unlimited mimosas as an option, so that makes things even better! The last thing I would like to talk about is the staff. These are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They always remember me and my family, and are extremely welcoming. There's always a smile on their faces, and they are so quick with the service. I really couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

The food was good, I had 6 plates of soup dumplings. Since it's AYCE, they go around in carts and you can grab whatever you like. The ladies running the cart are very nice and kind, I loved the service. The environment is lively and it's a pretty big and open space. I would definitely come again! read more

When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the server and given a seat. It got really busy and so we beat the rush. We ordered: 1) Beef brisket hotpot 2) Sichuan spicy fish filet 3) Golden Fried Sole w/ Garlic 4) Salt and Pepper Squid The beef brisket was very good. The meat was leaner than I like since I like more of the flank steak with the chewy but the taste was very good. The sichuan spicy fish filet is very good. Will order again. People who like a strong sichuan pepper may not like it but those who like less will enjoy it. The golden fried sole filet with garlic was good. It could have used more garlic, but if you like less garlic this would be perfect. The salt and pepper squid is ok. A little soggy. Overall the experience was nice. The seating can be tight. The food is good. The service is quick. The staff is nice. The ambiance is a bit loud but this is normal for family style restaurants. Very good spot for Roseville authentic Chinese food. It's mostly HK style and some Sichuan. Will come again. read more

Was a regular when Pagoda was in Dinkytown near the UMN. Food was always fresh, delicious, and affordable. It's where my husband and I went to celebrate a few of our anniversaries. Now they've moved to Roseville and we went to try it out two times, one for regular menu and another for the AYCE dim sum. Restaurant is clean and ambiance is the same. The regular menu food is tasty as usual. The salt and pepper chicken wings are a MUST. Don't skip on that. Especially if you go during happy hours, it's worth the price. However, the dim sum was underwhelming. Not much option variety and the service was ok. Very small table so you can't order much without cluttering or risk knocking some things over. The cart ladies zoomed by us numerous times. Luckily, my husband is very vocal so he flagged them down numerous times and we ate our worth. We also didn't have to ask for water refills so that was nice. But, most of the food tasted the same with same filling: pork or chicken. Mostly steamed protein options, minimal fried options except for the pastries. Also, barely any beef options which is disappointing. My favorites were the chicken feet, sweet pork bun, and pork ribs. Husband only liked the sweet pork bun. Overall, we will not go back to the dim sum but will for the normal menu. I wished Minnesota had other AYCE dim sum options, but Pagoda is the only one I know of, so we were glad to try it out. For reference, we tried other dim sums in Chicago and California and were blown by it so thought MN was the same, but nope, this dim sum was mediocre. read more

Favorite spot to catch up and reunite with friends since Pagoda was a pivotal part of my college days when it was located in Dinkytown. Staff is always friendly and remember us every time. Happy hour deals are 2 for 1 drinks and buy one get one half off apps. Lychee sake paired with Sapporo, cream cheese wontons, salt and pepper squid, and shrimp fried rice are my go to dishes. If you eat meat, get the salt and pepper chicken wings because those are the best. I can't eat them anymore as a pescatarian, so I opt for the salt and pepper squid instead. read more

Dim sum is pretty good, all you can eat so a bit pricey. The owner and family are kind and friendly.

I have been going to Pagoda several year now even when they were located in Dinkytown. The owner, Justin, is super friendly and they treat us like family when we come to visit . Everyone there is always so friendly and welcoming. It's always nice to be greeted with smiles . If you go during the week and weekend evenings they have a nice menu of Chinese food. My favorites would be the deep fried squid and some other spicy dishes. My brother loves the mapo tofu. They also have all yoh drink sake for $15. Weekends are busy because of their dim sum. This is the one place where you can get all you eat dim sum. We usually go this route so we feel guilt free for our wallets so we can try all sorts of dishes . During these times they also offer all you can drink mimosas. Always a favorite place to go and I recommend it to everyone looking for a good Chinese restaurant or dim sum. Weekends get busy like any other dim sum place so I would come early to get a seat especially when you have a big group. The restaurant has big windows and is very bright. It's got a nice atmosphere that is super welcoming. read more

To start everyone there was very nice and attentive. I went by myself and ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp. The shrimp were very large and delicious. I needed some more sauce though and they brought it to me, they should coat it a bit more. The broccoli was done right. The rice was perfect. Very big portion, took home enough for the next day. I ordered hot tea and the waiter asked me if I wanted a to go cup to bring it home. That was very thoughtful and I did not have to ask. I highly recommend this place, only wish I lived closer to it. read more

First time at the new location, and it was even better than before! Unlike their Dinkytown location, there is ample free parking! We got the $38 AYCE dimsum. The service was excellent, the carts came around steadily, the food was hot and fresh, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. All the flavors were on point, and we really ate alll we could! I also didn't get pictures of everything because I was taking it all in! I'm looking forward to trying their regular menu next! Stay tuned! read more

We enjoyed Pagoda since we were in college. We have now been out of the college for more than 10 years and we still like it here. They moved to a new location and offer all week dim sum. We have tried the dim sum on the weekend and during the weekday. Weekend they have karts with dim sum and week days are ordering. Good flavor and good environment. Not crowded and great selection. read more

I'm so happy Pagoda opened back up in a new location. I had frequented their spot in dinkytown and was sad when they closed down. We came for dim sum, which they serve 7 days a week. Very easy to order, there were carts since it was a weekend but you can always order off menu to ask a server for a certain dish. We had a larger party with many kids and there was no issue in getting us seated. You aren't required to get dim sum, many tables around us I saw were getting lunch specials which were very large portions and reasonably priced. read more

First time here since they've moved from the U of M location and offer all you can get dim sum for $37.99. It's a small restaurant. They were very busy and I love that they offer online reservation. It was so nice not have to wait for a long time with ahead of time reservations. If you don't want all you can eat dim sum then they also have menu to pick and choose. They also offer bottomless mimosas, sangria and sake for $15 but I'm not sure if it's just for the weekend. The staff was friendly. We had one person in our party that was a vegan and so wet were able to get her to offer from the menu. I like that they still have the carts to go around even though it's all you can eat. Place was clean; however, be prepared to speak loudly because of the open dining area without any sound absorbtion. The loudness could be a little jarring for little kids that are not use to loud noise. The dumplings were tasty and flavor. Each bag a different flavor and texture. I especially liked the green wrapper dumpling. This is the only place I know that offers taro buns. Will definitely come back here again. read more

I have gotten take out here several times, once delivery and recently dined in with family. I like...okay, no, I LOVE the fact that they have Dim Sum available even on a weekday evening (albeit a pared down on options, and not carts, but did not miss the carts!). Want some good shumai? Steamed pork spare ribs in bean sauce? Soup dumplings? They are here! Those are my fave from this restaurant. Admittedly, the bbq pork steamed bun had too much dough for the small amount of meat...which was sad, because the BBQ pork was delish!!! I also wish that they had egg custard tarts (蛋挞, ty wiki) and not just the steamed egg custard bun (again, great custard...waay too much filling). Chao Zhou Fun Gor was also satisfying, although again, suffered from thicker wrapping than I would have liked. The tofu pork veggie roll as delicious, though. Here's the thing with the wrapping of above mentioned dishes: the wrapping overwhelms the delicious and nummy taste of what the wrapper contains! I do not want a mouthful of wrapper, but rather the nummy BBQ pork, egg custard or w/e that the Chef so diligently perfected! My only other wish was that there was cheung fun shrimp or any variety available as a daily option, as that is my favorite Dim Sum dish... Separate from Dim Sum, they offer tea by the pot (darjeeling, oolong or jasmine) and it is ACTUALLY LOOSE LEAF TEA. I have also gotten the crispy pan fried seafood and vegetable noodles and other family members got the chicken fried rice. Be aware: THESE ARE FAMILY SIZED! Not small! I got at least 4 more meals out of the seafood noodle dish. And the shrimp was cooked PERFECTLY with the crunch you want, and also had squid, fish and...I think scallops along with carrots, peapods, and several other veggies that I cannot recall. The ratio of the nummy white gravy over the meat/veggie mix and the crispy noodles was perfect. It is one of those dishes where I wish I had order another for the future to heat up (it heats up quite nicely!!!). They have AYCE Dim Sum on the weekends with bottomless alcoholic beverage (mimosa) on the weekends for $35, which I have never tried, but also hot pot, and so many other dishes that are NOT your typical Chinese takeout fare. Lastly, the staff are PHENOMENAL. Walk in, and there is at least one friendly and smiling face to greet you as a guest enters. Never wanted for water, napkins, and each server knew the dishes that were being offered. They were great. The several times that I have been there, my company and myself have left with full, happy bellies and smiles on faces. What else could you ask for? read more

Good variety and service, but evErything was lukewarm or cold. It was also $20 more expensive than listed on their website. Some of it was so bad we could barely eat it. I love dim sum, but this was overall very disappointing BBQ pork bun: 6/10 Chicken dumpling : 2/10, cold and hard. Xiao long bao: 4/10, cold and hard. Go to din tai fung. Pho noodles: horrific, never had a noodle texture quite like it. Could barely eat. -1/10. Custard bun: 6.5/10, would have been good if fresh. Sesame ball: 7/10. Cold but fine Green beans: 8/10, only thing I would have taken seconds of Nondescript noodles: 5/10. Bland, edible. Meh. I usually only like to post positive reviews, but I absolutely could not do that for this place. Don't let tiktok fool you, this place is borderline edible and nothing more. read more
