Best Chinese Food in NYC hands down plus everything is halal! The Staff is nice too. Def Reccomend

I frequently order Chinese food in Astoria, so I have a good basis for comparison. Unfortunately, Pagoda's quality seems to have declined over time. My most recent order was so disappointing that I won't be ordering from them again. The chicken was extremely rubbery--some pieces were unchewable, and I had to pull them out of my mouth mid-bite. This triggered a gag reflex and made me feel nauseous afterward. It tasted as though the chicken wasn't fresh and hadn't been cooked or tenderized properly. read more

I ordered shrimp mei fun and beef and the guy repeated it back to me and I was with a friends who heard me and him say shrimp mei fun and when I got home it was chicken and beef. When I called to discuss that the manager started yelling at me sayin I ordered chicken when I can't eat chicken and he kept yelling thru the phone "no no you can't do this scam " but I just wanted my shrimp mei fun bruh not chicken read more

I ordered Shrimp Mei Fun with beef (for $1 more) and upon returning home I didn't get the Shrimp. I then called and spoke to one of the guys that work in there who was very respectful to me on the call and stated his manager will call me back for compensating. I received the call moments later and I'm explaining what had just occurred and he was very aggressive and agitated repeating that I was wrong and hung up the call on me. Obviously me being pissed off that I even spent any money at this place called him back fuming. Do not recommend, better off up the block at the next Chinese place. read more

A great family i live nearby and they have such a nice Food, i go there almos 4 times a week and order different meals different flavors. Lunch specials is my routine thank you for serving us a great specials read more

I don't recommend to go there food not good. Food was delicious before not anymore. Thank you

I wish I had known about this halal Chinese sooner! It's so good. I got the garlic beef and asked for only string beans and baby corn and they delivered; the vegetables were not over cooked at all, they still had a crunch to it. I just wish there was more beef, it's probably 30% beef and 70% vegetable. Their sesame chicken/general Tsos is better than avgerage too. I'm definitely going to keep going back! read more

Super China Pagoda - Beef with Garlic Sauce, Sesame Chicken - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

My son told me that there are new owners which explains ALOT. The food hasn't been great. Sweet and sour chicken had almost no sauce. General tso used to come with broccoli, now just one floret included... as a garnish? I complained about the one piece of broccoli in my dish when I ordered again and I kid you not... they put TWO in this time. I gave this three stars but I'm not going to order from here again unless I really have to. I don't like any other halal Chinese so I'm quite bummed. This place isn't what it used to be. read more

Super China Pagoda - Two florets of broccoli instead of the one I got last time - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

Horrible experience after being a loyal customer for over 5 years. I placed an order at 7:04pm and around 7:45p called to see my ETA since we have been fasting all day and wanted to see if the food would be here on time for iftar. I called and was promised the guy had already left and it would come within 20 minutes .... fast forward to 8:45 pm and still no food. No delivery. I called again to ask what was going on and if now at this point the food would be cold? The guy on the phone was just rushing me off the phone with "okay, okay"'. ... this situation is NOT okay. Just admit that the restaurant is super overwhelmed and give a real ETA estimate. read more

This place was great before covid 19 shutdown. They closed down and reopened. Not sure if new owners but we ordered general tsaos (a standard that we ordered many...MANY times before the shutdown) and this time it was overcooked to the point of not being able to chew it! read more

Super China Pagoda - Overcooked general Tsao - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I've ordered lunch from this place at least ten times while at work. Well today I found a little surprise in my chicken and broccoli. A ROACH!! This is the kind of stuff that makes you want to stop eating out. Halal definitely doesn't equate to cleaner. Be careful people. read more

Yanno, as I ordered my food (in person, not for delivery) and checked in here last week I totally thought I would end up ripping this place apart on Yelp! Well I learned a lesson - don't judge a food establishment by its cover! Lol, sure we all know this, but sometimes we need a little reminder. Enter Super China Pagoda! Came here on my way to my boyfriend's best friend's house last Tuesday to watch them do their weekly podcast. After not having eaten anything since like noon and commuting to Astoria from Columbus Circle, I was starving...naturally. Being not too sure about what I was craving I hopped in here because it smelled AMAZING, but because they sell both Chinese AND halal food! Interesting mix, but I can dig it. Having received a text from my boy as I was looking at their menu I learned that he had bought me a chicken sandwich assuming I'd be hungry...after all my insides exploded because I thought that was so freaking sweet, I decided to be a fatass and order some steamed pork dumplings anyway...because when the dumpling craving kicks in, I answer it. Decidedly upon looking at them in the comfort of said friend's house, I decided they looked like your regular, "run of the mill" fast food Chinese dumplings that end up feeling like you're chewing on human ear (I can't be alone here, lol)...surprisingly enough they tasted better than I was expecting! They were generously filled with really delicious pork and chive filling, yes it was unfortunately wrapped in that disappointingly thick dumpling skin, but with the pork and the pork juices flowing out them with each bite, I was pleasantly...pleased. I'll definitely return to try their chicken/basil dumplings and their halal food too! read more

Super China Pagoda - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

So I frequent 5 halal Chinese restaurants this has taken 1st place since reopening during COVID-19. There chicken egg rolls I can eat as a meal in itself not swimmingly oily, crispy crunchy , yummy goodness. I tried there Mongolian beef awesome, shredded beef the small is so much that I can only imagine what a large looks like, great portions. Please don't sleep on the hibachi grill options worth the money and tastes great FYI I travel from elmont Long Island to Astoria for you guys even though parking SUCKS in the neighborhood. read more

This restaurant is probably one of the few Chinese Halal places I've seen in the neighborhood and I believe it is part of a local chain of Chinese Halal places all named China Pagoda. You can get all your typical Chinese take out dishes here and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hot and sour soup here. Unlike most other typical take out places it wasn't watered down and actually had a decent spicy (hot) kick to it. Their portions are noticeable larger than a lot of the neighboring Chinese restaurants which is always nice given it is in the same price range. As well they also take credit card which is sometimes hard to come by at a Chinese restaurant. read more

This is a great place to order from. They include free dumplings or soda when your order above $20 or $30 which is a great deal. Never been sick from this place at all. It's unfortunate that they're closed during quarantine. Their small sizes are phenomenal, it's the same size as a small in other places, which makes it a great deal. You can immediately be full and satisfied from their food. Delivery comes immediately and you usually don't have to wait too long. read more

Would give 0/5 stars if i could. The food was delivered to the wrong address even though i put MY CORRECT one. They then tried to pin the blame on me saying i put the wrong address even though I 10000% put the correct one . I order on Uber eats almost every day and this is the first time this ever happened. The manager was also very very rude and did not want to cancel the order. I had to get my refund from Uber Eats 3 hours after the order was placed. VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL will not be ordering from here again. read more

Horrible service the lady infront has a very nasty attitude. On top of that first they took my order make me wait 20 min for them to tell me sorry we ran out of white rice would you like the chicken wings plain. I feel like that's something you should tell me before you make me wait 20 min. read more

I was hungry and I needed some food that was hollow and I was craving Chinese, my friend recommended I just ordered this and so we did. Pretty mediocre Chinese food I would say, do not taste anything special so have to give it a three star. But the delivery was pretty quick. read more

Typically order from here and get takeout. Their consistency on their sesame chicken and their fried chicken orders are amazing and I have never been disappointed. Their house special lo mein is amazing as well and I typically order one every single time!! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an order of their dragon and phoenix; it is a gem!! Do not hesitate to order from here as it is probably one of the only fair priced and halal chinese food spots in the general vicinity. read more

Ordered multiple times. Food is always made fresh. Amazing customer service and delivery is never late.

Food is nasty stale and dry. Got the sesame chicken. Worst mistake I made all year. Service is horrible the guy is the phone is disrespectful and try's to rush you off the phone. read more

Food was average. Crab rangoons are much like stuffed sopapillas. The hot and sour soup was good almost a touch of sweet to it. Too much rice to meat ratio on the combinations. However the delivery was fast. And it was convenient using yelp to order it. read more

Super China Pagoda - Beef and broccoli combo - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

Since I moved to NYC recently, I've been going around and trying out the various Chinese restaurants around my apartment. Asking around at my laundromat, the woman recommended China Pagoda, saying it wasn't as greasy as other places. I don't know what exactly makes it halal or so different from other Chinese take-out places, but the food was good and the portion size was decent. Price-wise, it seems to be around the same as everywhere else and not nearly as greasy as some of the other places on the same street. read more

Every time i call 9:15 to order the don't get the order and when i call they tell me if you want to cancel it cancel it so fucking rudee they did this for 3 times read more

I normally don't order chinese, but I was hungry and bored at home alone, so I ordered at this place cause they serve Halah meat. The wait time for the delivery was normal. I ordered a small chicken-lo mein and chicken sweet and sour. I like the containers they use, it was well packed. For a small order of each item, It definitely was more for 3 people. The lo-mein wasn't bad, and the chicken tasted fresh, I just felt it was missing a touch of seasoning. However, I would order again and try their other dishes to actually judge overall. read more

This is another spot I miss now that I don't live in Astoria anymore. All the chicken dishes are amazing, the beef not so much.

This place is about as good as it gets when it comes to Chinese style fast food. They have a clean kitchen in view of the public, they accept credit cards, and the food isn't as greasy as you'd expect for this type of place. They're halal so no pork on the menu, the service is pretty good, and I recommend the Singapore Mai fun. read more

Worst food ever!!!! Fried dumplings were thrown into a fryer like a chicken wing. Completely soggy, greasy, horrible! General tso's chicken is all filler. Literally all filler! I immediately called to demand my money back and they told me it was because I took too long to eat it and weren't going to refund me! I called DELIVERY.COM to fix this and they refunded me even though the crappy restaurant didn't want to! HORIBBLE!! STAY AWAY! read more

Our main dishes (chicken lo mein and garlic chicken) were very good and they delivered promptly. The only reason I didn't give five stars was the steamed dumplings. They were just OK and dumplings are one of the main reasons I order Chinese food. read more

You guys are solid. On snowy days where you fall and hurt yourself and can't really move or walk too much you should call them for delivery. On days where you're just being plain lazy, call them for delivery. Speedy delivery. Food is tasty. Love your hot n sour soup. Will definitely order again! Second time ordering confirmed what I thought the first time and it is that their hot n sour soup needs some work. read more

Figured I had to give them a try since they are the first HALAL Chinese food place I heard of. Maybe its just me or I need to order another dish to be sure.. But they should not mix the two - either order Chinese or order Halal . they cant mix the two styles together. Delivery time was normal for chinese take out and there was no minimum for delivery.. May or may not try again read more

I don't eat fast food often, especially Chinese so it's good if you're really craving some. This place does good sized portions. Beware though, there's an insane amount of sodium in this stuff so probably shouldn't be eating it regularly. Otherwise it's a good takeout place. They do fast fast deliveries. Don't think I'll be ordering again though, since some guy found a roach in his food. Blechhh :( read more

This place is... a Chinese take-out place. Listen, I've been a loyal customer all my time in Astoria and they've been a reliable little joint. Big portions, expected tastes. Viva la China Pagoda. read more

We order delivery from here all the time because the food is delicious and the ingredients are very fresh! The portions are generous and the prices are very good. We have tried other Chinese food take out to give those a try, but we keep coming back! Everything we have tried has been great including the general tso's tofu! They get an A in my book! ...and they are on seamless! read more

We lived in the area for a while and loved to eat here. The spicy dishes had a tad bit of a kick, which is awesome if you don't like your American Chinese to be overly sweet. The portion sizes were very good. And the quality is much better than typical fast food takeouts. Another reviewer said it is less greasy than average, which is just right. And the service is always polite. I was in the area after 3 years, and decided to stop by. It is still worth it :) BTW, "Halal" is not a "style" of food or a cuisine; like Kosher, it identifies the food being sourced from approved Islamic sources, no pork, no alcohol, etc. And to the best of my knowledge, this restaurant serves no pork, so I am not sure how "Stephanie P." got pork dumplings :) read more

Delivery was quick but the food wasn't good. Has this weird plastic after taste to the chicken. Egg rolls were the only thing I could eat. Wouldn't order from here again read more

This is a great Chinese restaurant - I've lived in Astoria for over 10 years and it's getting my 5-star vote for a few reasons: first, the food is always very fresh-tasting; they use a nice variety of seasonings (I recommend their steamed chicken dumplings)! Second, the food isn't greasy - even the fried dishes are crisp but not overly oily. Finally, their portions are generous & they deliver pretty quickly, so overall - a reliable & high-quality neighborhood take-out joint! read more

Best in the neighborhood for Chinese Takeout. The food is fresh and seasoned well, and they always deliver quickly.

Top notch chinese food, the fact that it is halal is an added bonus, if you are looking for great chinese in the area deff. The best option. The people are super nice also and the lunch special rules. read more

The food is good here, especially since it is halal. BUT not all the items are that great. The usual that I get is the Spicy Chicken. I've had better chinese food in other places though. read more
