“ Service was great. We were seated right away. My husband loves Coke and even though they serve RC products they had some Coke available for us. The food was hot and served quickly. You could tell its made to order and hadn't been sitting around. We have been to a lot of the Chinese type restaurants in the area and this will become my go-to ”
“ Their food is very good. However, I wish they would go back to serving crunchy chow mien noodles instead of pan fried noodles with their chow mein. ”
“ This place has been in business since 1978. What a local treasure. Went there for lunch, what a deal. Lunches include soup, egg roll and entree. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I had the best egg foo young. Please give this place a try, I think you will not be disappointed. ”
“ very good Chinese food. Amazing service with great ambience. would recommend to anyone in the Lockport area ”
“ Pressed duck has always been my favorite thing to order at Chinese restaurants but it is very hard to find anymore. Pagoda has two versions and both are excellent. Eggs rolls are the best and service is awesome. Love this place ”
“ I thought this place was solid! I ordered the veggie Lo Mein and my husband had the Shimp Egg Foo Young. The food was tasty, served quick and the owner was friendly. Egg rolls tasted homemade and the fried rice was not really greasy.My only complaint would be that the food was so hot and put right into the styrofoam container that it warped it which kind of grosses me out. But, I didn't really notice that until I had gobbled the whole dish down :) I did not dine in but the place looked like somewhere that I would like to go have dinner. Next time! ”
“ This is always a comfortable choice. Egg rolls and food are always good and my kids tried their smoothies this time and loved them too. ”
“ I LOVE the chicken noodle soup! My favorite I would definitely recommend if your a person who eats the chicken noodle soup. The rice is also great ”
