Best Dim Sum, Fried Shrimp Ball and Fried Calamari in town. My partner loves this place and I have become a fan myself over the years, which makes this review past due.
First off, swing in on Sat or Sun mornings where you can choose between the regular menu, or what I recommend, the all-you-can-eat. From there, a few ladies will wheel around several carts full of goodies. You don’t have to take anything, but if you ask me, don’t pass up the fried cart.
Overall food quality is great, its made fresh, and steamy hot, but not burning. They have the best fried calamari and their clams are spicy too. Their fried Shrimp ball is awesome and their variety of Dim Sum just keeps you wanting to try them all. It’s also where I like the pork bun.
Just a couple of things to know before you go:
1)Get there early enough if you want to park closer to the restaurant.
2)Always do all-you-can-eat for unlimited Dim Sum.
3)A lot of the 2 person tables are on the smaller side so it’s quick to fill your table..
4)They don’t do reservations so big parties, make sure you arrive on time and together.
5)Pagoda isn’t cheap, but you get quality food.
Overall Pagoda is a great place and I sure would stop in again.

I’ve had lunch here twice, and on both occasions (it was not busy during lunch time), I was impressed by the overall experience. The service was consistently attentive and friendly, with staff frequently checking in to ensure everything was to our liking and promptly refilling our drinks without us having to ask. The lunch specials are definitely worth trying—they don’t disappoint. Each dish arrived freshly made, showcasing vibrant flavors and careful preparation. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for the price. It’s clear that quality and customer satisfaction are priorities here. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this spot delivers on both food and service. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Sooo good. And consistent. I found this gem and fell in love with the service and the fried fish with garlic. That brought me back. The dim sum is amazing. Fried rice. Soft shell crabs. Omg. Not fancy. Just real and delicious.

Went for their dimsum weekend lunch and boy it delivered. With hot tea, the meal was $45 before time and was well worth every single penny. There’s plenty to choose from and the staff are excited to help you pick. It was my first time having dimsum and the experience was 10/10.
As soon as we sat down we were being offered different options and our drinks came fast. The man picking up empty plates was super efficient and never ever intrusive. I would highly recommend it.
Their dimsum lunch buffet only runs on weekends, though, from I believe 11 – 3 so be aware of that.

We tried Pagoda for the first time on Lunar New Year- January 29, 2025. It was about half full.
What a fantastic restaurant. We ate at 7:00 during the week so there was not an all-you can eat option for dim sum, but they offer dim sum a la cart.
The turnip rice cake was amazing. It’s not a sweet cake, but a savory cake. It had Chinese sausage, rice, and turnip. The outside texture is crunchy and the interior is silky soft. A nice play of contrasting textures with an occasional bite of a sliced Chinese sausage.
The orange chicken tastes like the orange chicken I make at home with real orange juice. The ratio of batter to chicken is perfect, not too much batter.
The Honey Walnut shrimp has large shrimp with a contrasting sweet and salty flavor. Yum.
I love tofu and again, there is a play on texture. The outside initial bite had a great crunch and then the interior was silky smooth. It was appropriately seasoned. It wasn’t too spicy if I didn’t eat all the sliced peppers.
My favorite was the weekly special of deep fried Pompano. Nice crunch on the outside and moist flaky fish. It was a great choice, but temper your expectations because it’s a smaller fish and I was satisfied with the amount of meat on the fish.
Overall, a great place to eat and I would recommend this restaurant.

The ambiance was beautiful here. The food was beautifully plated and the service was really great. I really like that they boxed our leftovers for us as well. However I have mixed feelings because the wontons were amazing!!! Super light and sweet. However, the special fried rice, although plenty of it, was very bland. The sesame chicken was good, but would have been better if it was diced a bit smaller. Overall, I’m glad we stopped in. It was a very welcoming place.

Food was delicious and portions were generous. We will definitely come back and try their all-you-can dimsum

Pretty okay dim sum but maybe I had too high of an expectation going in. They come around with different carts of sides and dessert. If you go early, wait a bit because some item might come out a bit later. Highly recommend the pineapple bun and chashu bun from the dessert cart.

Overall: 6.5 / 10
Disclaimer: We took part in a promotion, 4 dishes for $40, so long as we took pictures and left some sort of review on social media. That being stated, this review will proceed as though we had paid full price for our meal. Also, they advertise as a dim sum restaurant, which we did not take part in at this time.
Service: 4 / 10
Many of the other reviews tout great service. This was unfortunately not our experience. We gave a 4 out of 10, partially because that is the number of interactions we had with the staff. 1 for greeting and seating, the server’s initial request if we were ready to order (we were still looking over the menu as it had been about 2 minutes since it was set in front of us), the server’s second attempt to get our order (when we actually ordered), then us paying the bill. When the servers dropped off the food, they were in quite a rush and did not stop to inquire about any needs. Our group had 2 adults and a baby; between us we were provided 2 plates, 2 cups of water, 1 set of chopsticks, 1 spoon, and 1 fork. We were not provided any napkins, and didn’t really have a good opportunity to request anything additional. I will acknowledge that the restaurant was quite busy during the latter half of our visit, but the lack of care was quite jarring compared to the reviews I had read. We were seated immediately, took about 10 minutes to order, received food 30 minutes after the order was placed.
Food: 9 / 10
The shining point of our trip. We had right next to no complaints about our food. The flavor was quite good and everything was enjoyable. Our choices consisted of Salt and Pepper Pork Chops ($21.95), Golden Fried Fish Fillet with Garlic ($20.95), Honey Walnut Shrimp ($20.95) Mustard Green w/ Garlic ($17.95). While in hindsight I would have selected a different vegetable dish for personal preference, it was still quite enjoyable. There was some disappointment when informed that pea tips (which is listed on the online menu) were not available at this time.
Atmosphere 8 / 10
There is a nice amount of ornamentation, but not so much that I felt like I was prone to break something on accident. The tables had a good amount of space around them, preventing any feelings of being claustrophic or otherwise being stuffed into the restaurant. The tables themselves were less functional than I would have preferred as the ones we were provided were nice small tables perfect for an afternoon tea and snack, but less suitable for a meal where multiple dishes may sit on the table at once. The front of house felt like it was quite clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a different situation. Situated down a narrow hallway, the bathroom, while clean, felt like an afterthought in that it was quite cramped and gave gray train station vibes. While the aesthetic felt lacking, the absence of a changing table was unfortunate and unexpected.
Value 6 / 10
At $40, this was on the higher end of meals for our small family of 3. If it were full price, it definitely would have felt like quite the expensive outing that we would have had trouble justifying for a regular dinner out. The dish sizes definitely were a bit smaller than I would have expected. The two items that I think brought most food for the cost were the mustard greens or salt and pepper pork chops. Honey Walnut Shrimp, while delicious, is just not a big enough plate for us to feel that it justified $21 right now. Perhaps if we were more well off, or out for a celebration, but this section is about bang for your buck, and this place just earns a lower rating if you’re looking for a lot of food.
Overall, if you’re looking for a nice place to have tasty food, this place has got it, but if you’re starving for big portions, perhaps steer somewhere else, unless you do the AYCE dim sum on the weekend. While our experience may have been abnormal, you may need to come prepared to be more assertive than normal if you have additional needs beyond what you are intially given.

This was our first time at a dim sum restaurant, was unsure of what to go with but our servers were very friendly and helpful! We tried several types of dumplings, red bean buns, fried rice, pork belly, garlic green beans, and short ribs. Everything was good and the table was happy. One of our dishes was forgotten but our server was very quick to fix this, so no problem here! It’s a large menu with plenty of options and quick service. Would definitely come back if local!
