For my first visit to this HIDDEN GEM, I ordered potstickers, miso soup, and a shrimp tempura roll. The miso soup was delicious! I think it also had soy or fish sauce, making a complex flavor. The potstickers were the right balance of wrapper and filling. I also really enjoyed the roll. It had a great flavor and was a perfect size. My server was delightful-answering all my questions and providing great recommendations. I can't wait to get back.

I ordered the combo pho, eggrolls and a papaya salad. The service was very good, my water was refilled frequently without me asking. So the food, the pho combo comes with shrimp, beef, pork belly, meatballs; I asked to have the shrimp removed but forgot about the pork. Those 2 items changes the broth flavor in my opinion. The broth is herby and isn’t as salty as other locations which I like. The noodles to me were slightly over boiled and I mean slightly. The eggrolls are more Chinese style eggrolls, very similar to those you buy at kwik trip but much better quality and crispy. The papaya salad was good, but in my opinion the shrimp paste and padak was overwhelming; you will definitely need to get some sticky rice or eat a ton of those lettuces provided. Over all it wasn’t bad their menu is vast and a lot of options from Thai, Chinese, Lao, Vietnamese, Japanese…I’d go back again to give the other entrees a try and maybe those will be a better hit for me. They have Sushi Laab and $30 for 12 oysters chuked. I didn’t try but supposedly their Chicken Wing Laab flavor is very popular.

This place is just around the corner so we decided to try it out. I would consider this VERY Americanized but the food totally hit the spot! It satisfied our Asian food craving, and dare I say it tasted healthier than normal? We got Kung Pao Chicken, Pad Thai, and Szechuan Chicken. Huge portions! The three of us were able to make lunch out of the leftovers today. And, that's with us eating second, and third servings last night. You definitely get your money's worth. That's for sure!

I use to like this place and was happy to support a local business. However, my last 3 orders have been disappointing. Between burnt egg rolls, freezer burnt shrimp and now sesame chicken without a single sesame seed, no breading and a totally different colored sauce... haven't even tried any of it yet... let's hope it tastes good.

Sweet and sour chicken was nothing but a cut up chicken patty with some sauce in a cup. The Kung Pau Beef was almost worse. You get 3 little pieces of meat and a ton of vegetables. Hit and miss to say the least. Normally the food here is great but this sucks.

So…we ordered our food and the food here is good. One thing we noticed was the cashier checked us out, etc and while waiting for our food went straight to chopping veggies without washing hands. Need to focus on cleanliness after the remodel.

What!?! No chop sticks, no napkins….Egg roll looked good, but inside not so good. Couldn’t tell you what what inside, but it was soft and undistinguished, so I couldn’t tell you what veggies it had and/or if it even had meat price is $8.95 for two rolls, wouldn’t recommend the egg rolls. $12.95 shrimp fried rice, had a shrimp in every 4th bite, so I think it was lite on shrimp compared to my (far away from work) favorites , literally had to spit out a shrimp, because it tasted funky spoiled. Also ordered sesame chicken +another $21.95 and disappointed in the more breading than chicken than breading and a weird sauce. Sauce had a twang and breading was thick, soft, and soggy and don’t remember seeing any sesame seeds, so maybe she got my order wrong.. I bought this much so I would have som left overs that I could have over the weekend. EPIC FAIL AND LESSON LEARNED, to not buy for leftovers till I know the place is worthy😞 I was super hungry and usually that fact gets an extra star because it is so satisfying to be full. I won’t recommend or go back to Pagoda. Had tables barricaded at the door for take out. No table restaurant dining. No chair to sit and wait for your order (I stand all day at work). Probably not gonna let you use a bathroom if needed….and location is in a beat down old strip mall location. 😬👎 $36 lunch, best serving was to remind me “anything is possible with faith” in my fortune cookie (except a decent Chinese lunch close to work).

This is my new chinese spot. It's definitely worth the money for. The beef brisket is literally to die for. It is so tender and basically melts in your mouth. The beef congee is so simple but delicious. The salt & pepper pig feet delicious, as well as the pepper getting a nice kick. The soft shell crab was amazing, it's was amazing they some how had it during the outside the season. This is possibly my opinion thr best chinese restaurant in the state of Minnesota.
