Pagoda

Pagoda has been around for decades! It used to be by the University of Minnesota, but it got replaced by a McDonald's years ago.... Back then, it was one of my favorite spots as a student, so I was pretty sad when it was closed. Imagine my excitement when I found out it's back in Roseville!We went for their weekend dim sum and loved it. You can either order from the carts or choose the dim sum buffet. The prices are super reasonable, and there are tons of options to pick from. The dim sum is legit--authentic and delicious! Plus, parking is easy since it's in a shopping mall area.The service is quick and friendly, but be ready for a wait if you're going on the weekend. It's usually packed, so you might have to wait at least 15 minutes. They have a lot of tables. However, if you're not into sitting close to other people or want a quiet meal, weekends might not be the best time to visit. It's definitely busy, but the energy makes it fun!

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants from way back when they were in Dinkytown. The new space is different but still have a very nice vibe. They have these really cool masks on the wall, one of which is Sun Wukong. I'm a fan.The food hear is always so good. I like to see what they post on social media and try whatever looks great to me. The pig intestines and salt and pepper squid are really tasty. The prices are very affordable and are great for "Family Style" eating. If you come for lunch, they have cheap specials that have large portions. Dim Sum AYCE- I love going for the dim sum. Dim sum really adds up at any restaurant. Sure, each dish would be $3-$6 and quick eats, but that can get out of hand real quick. With the all you can eat, you can try everything and pay the same price. They also have unlimited mimosas as an option, so that makes things even better! The last thing I would like to talk about is the staff. These are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They always remember me and my family, and are extremely welcoming. There's always a smile on their faces, and they are so quick with the service. I really couldn't recommend this place enough!

We celebrated my wife's birthday today. We ordered from the lunch menu. I got the beef and broccoli, my wife got sesame chicken and our daughter got chicken and broccoli. All the lunches came with white rice and cream cheese wontons. Very nice lunch. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake and they also brought out a cupcake with a cherry blossom design on the plate. it was all very good. Thank you for a nice lunch.

Happy birthday to me! We went here today for my birthday. They offer a lunch menu and we all ordered from there. I got the sesame chicken, my husband got broccoli and beef and our daughter got chicken and broccoli. All the meals came with rice and cream cheese puffs. Everything was very good. We also ordered the lava cake and they also brought out a lovely cupcake with a beautiful cherry blossom decor. Pagoda is always such a welcoming place. Thank you for the nice lunch.

Amazing food-even when you do a takeout order! Authentic, flavorful & worth every penny! My favorite, Hot & Sour Soup is not pictured since I couldn't wait to photograph it at our destination! It's too bad that we haven't created "smell-o-vision" yet: this food order was so aromatic! Great service (we won't mention another Asian restaurant that the wait for takeout was over 1 1/2 hours).

Pagoda in Roseville (right by Rosedale Mall) is offering a 4 for $40 special. What a great offer! It's for a limited time and the conditions of the deal: 1) any menu item under $25 2) spread the word on social media once done 3) only valid Tuesday-Friday. The food and service were excellent! Definitely coming back soon!What we ordered:Seafood and vegetables crispy noodles - nice amount of quality seafood, noodles were fried to perfection 5/5Crispy garlic fish - so light, juicy, and crispy! 5/5Kung Pao Beef - overall good with lots of peanuts 4/5Pork with Garlic Sauce- overall good with a nice balance of bamboo shoots, wood ear, and pork 4/5Service was definitely 5/5Restaurant was clean, lots of space and plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall

We came back to try more menu options before their summer 4 for $40 deal expires. Our favorite dishes are still:Honey Walnut ShrimpBeef Chow FunBeef Brisket Hot PotService was hit or miss. Multiple servers asked for my order as soon as I arrived and needed some time to look at the menu, but then we had to wait and flag someone down for service after that. Ambiance is simple and casual.

We love this place so much and came back per request of my hubby for his birthday!! And I may have had some influence, ha! We got our usuals and were pleasantly full when left. It's always just enough food for both of us and the people there are so friendly!! We had just missed the all you can eat dim sum by 20 minutes but that was okay because it was quiet and not so jam packed. I'm drooling writing this review so we will be back soon, I'm sure

We stop by often. The hot sour soup is our comfort food. It's so good. We vary our entrees and this time we had general taos chicken and mongolian beef. Always enjoy our food.

First, the staff here is outrageously friendly. If you've never had dim sum, it's kind of a unique experience. There's a menu with a bunch of items that you write a check mark next the items you want to order.I love the brothy dumplings! They come out hot, so make sure you avoid what I did (burned my taste buds) and be patient. The fried rice could have been more fried. It has a very light color. You can taste the oil, more than a toasted flavor. However, I still enjoyed it!
