Pagoda Restaurant — Restaurant in White Bear Lake

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...

Super ghetto and greedy. Not worth my $57+ for 3 items!!! No meat at all!!!!! No dine in!!! I’m sure the reason to why they do not let their customers dine in is because they know a lot of customers leave without checking their food so the customers usually don’t realize that they have been ripped off big time until they’re already home!!!! I could have gone somewhere nice to dine in!

I can see in the reviews that pagoda is very greedy with their meat, but I don’t understand why, even after a lot of customers complained about that, pagoda still haven’t tried to fix that behavior and still continued being greedy 😕 I ordered chicken curry, the spicy chicken stir fry, and shrimp lomein and none of them came with meat 😤 they were all basically...

I thought this was a dine in place, it's not. they have doors blocked off by tables. You can only order, go wait in your car for 15 minutes, and pick up. They didn't have a huge selection of combos to order from. I ordered the chowmein combo. Eggroll was okay. The chowmein is not a noodle chowmein it's a gravy chowmein (looks like dogfood or catfood). It was okay. Nothing to write home about. I will say compared to other Chinese restaurants the combo was a little on the 'small side'. I usually will have leftovers, but I didn't this time. I got the egg fu yong as well. Not gonna lie, they do have the BEST egg fu yong i've had in a real long time! I might go back for that, but...
