Chinese and Thai takeout. Friendly guy serving. Limited basic seating, it's not a restaurant (think more Panda Express) so the 5-stars I'm giving are just for food, price and service over venue. We had the Chicken Pad Thai, it was delicious and large portion size. $13 after tax but enough for 2 or 3 lunches.
These folks know how to make the best steamed veggies I've ever had. I always order the "bowl", which is really just a large portion of the vegetable with a smaller portion of one entree. I normally get their sesame chicken. Great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff.
This is now my go-to for yummy healthy-ish takeout. Love his salt and pepper fish, and signature spicy noodles with tofu. Quick, fresh veggies, great prices. Chinese food is mostly steam table (similar to Panda Express) and Thai food is made to order.
Great little Chinese food shop. Love to. Ome here for a quick bite quiet often! Love their pepper chicken, it's amazing. Staff are super fun and friendly as well.
Good food at a reasonable price, nice staff
I give the simple look 5 stars because I like small areas to eat while still enjoying my privacy away from work, and if I need a different scenery to work on my laptop. Also, the environment reminded me of my family. Food is not greasy, and there are healthy alternatives. Parking is tight, but there is street parking available. Most customers came for take outs, so I was able to find seating.
I love this place great food great price. Owner and his wife are very nice. You can taste they pour their heart and soul into their craft. Give them a try!
Great easy lunch spot. Didn't know this was here after coming from the beach. I got a combo (#80) which was plenty filling and allowed me to have a bunch of different stuff. Everything I tried was good, especially the tempura. And it had a sushi roll that was pretty good even though it wasn't one of the fancy ones. Definitely would recommend as a simple and easy lunch spot if you want any kind of Japanese food.
I tried this today for the first time and it was awesome. Takes me back to when I was younger- my mom would always get Chinese food on her way home from work. The prices are extremely fair- and I loved the atmosphere. Very old school type of place. Loved it. Thank you so much. I got teriyaki chicken, chow mein, and 2 egg rolls, all great flavors and good price.

Great Thai food -- pad thai, pad seew, and spicy fried rice. Order from the menu. Nothing fancy but the wok items really hit the spot. Great prices and big portions. Definitely trying to support this small business during these tough times! Also their phone isn't working, but they're open. Stop by!

Pagoda Chinese & Thai Food is a fantastic little takeaway spot. I ordered a curry and it had a truly authentic flavour — rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. Portions are generous and great value, and you can tell it’s a popular local takeaway. What really stood out, though, was the owner’s incredible service. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond — the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back. Delicious food, big portions, and wonderful service. Highly recommended.
I was searching for Chinese fast food and found this place. Conveniently located not far from the airport and the owner was friendly and attentive. I ordered the pork short rib (soy glazed), fried chicken wings (sweet and sour), and curry chicken (very flavorful). Since I got there 30 mins before closure, one third of the entrees were sold out but I’m still pleased with the what I got. I would recommend both curry chicken and chicken wings, the pork ribs are a little bit saltier to my preference. Would consider coming back and try their rice or noodle next time!
Chow mien noodle and fried rice were good. Foods selection was plenty.
Food was good I really enjoyed my meal The spicy chicken was 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like the lunch special, with half noodles & half rice and the red bbq pork. Affordable and good. The al a carte Shrimp fried rice is really good. Plenty of shrimp and they load up the container, not bad for $8-$9.
I legit crave their Pad Thai and Pad See Eew. I always get shrimp for both! They cook them fast and price is great for the portion size. Owners are super nice as well.

Food is good, I'll give them that. They are stingy. I feel they are scared to give you food. I ordered there breaded jalapeno fish and got 4 pieces.. I love hot sauce. I'm an individual who may at times exaggerate. They only gave me one. I asked for another and just said sorry no, I can use what's on their tables.. wow... Just wow .

I ordered the chow mein teriyaki chicken and barbecue pork. The Chow mein noodles were cold and oily barbecue pork was hard and teriyaki chicken did not taste like teriyaki chicken I would not be coming back to this establishment due to the fact the food was cold and the flavor was tasteless.
