Pagoda - North Pole

Been on the road now for about two months and tried Chinese Food at every stop. This hands down is the best!!! The food is done to perfection and they are very welcoming when you come in. Will definitely go back and try something else.

The food was incredible and there was so much of it that I couldn't finish in one sitting, so I took the leftovers home for later.

The only reason I didn 't rate this 5 stars is because of the manager that was in at the time. I 've come to the area twice for work in 4 years. And in both trips, I 've come here. The food is usually really good. My waiter was on point and very attentive. I came in for lunch and had the rib eye. It was supposed to be juicy but was the opposite. The outside of my steak was crispy and I ordered it medium. Great taste throughout most of the steak, but some spots had no flavor at all. Back to the manager. When I walked in, instead of greeting me, he asked how could I help you? ...and seemed bothered to get up or ask. I 've never been to a restaurant and have been asked that question. If you walk into a restaurant without asking for anything like, can I use your restroom, a safe assumption is that you 'll be eating there. And you welcome them in. When I left, I completely missed seeing the plastic utensils available for take out so I asked for utensils to go. The manager again seemed bothered, took a deep breath and just pointed. He didn 't get up or say anything. I looked over, felt like an idiot because I missed them, but at the same time I was irritated. Once I grabbed them he says, there 's plenty there. He never says thank you for coming, or if I needed anything else or if I had enjoyed the food or even hoped that I enjoyed the food. Worst manager at any restaurant I 've ever visited including McDonald 's! (If considered a restaurant). On on a high note for the place, I grabbed food (to go) on a separate day. The mac n cheese was probably the best I 've had, and the fried rice with chicken and pork was really good. I think if this place can change a thing or two or person, it would be the manager the day I visited. Really good place for food (maybe not dining in) in the area.

Best food in north pole hands down so don't waste your time just eat here I promise you won't be disappointed

Elevated PF Chang's... Though that's not fair to Pagoda. It's def worth the hype. Great food, great staff.
