New Pagoda Restaurant

" A great local place with some hits and misses. The dry garlic ribs have a bold flavor and are genuinely a great dish when prepared right. However, there are quite a few items like the chow mein that felt more like an afterthought. The servers were friendly and the service prompt, but I’ve found that the cooking quality can vary significantly. Each experience is different, and while I had a decent meal this time, I've had my share of disappointments there in the past. If only they could settle on consistent quality, they would truly stand out more in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been going to New Pagoda for years; it never really disappoints. Sure, the décor is quite dated, but that doesn’t matter when you’re greeted with such friendly smiles, and the food is usually good. Their special chow mein really stands out, though there are times I’ve been served undercooked egg rolls. Overall, you can’t complain too much because the portions are worth the price. It’s one of the few Chinese food options around here, so I see myself coming back just for that. " (*Curated Review*)

" Far from my first choice, but it might be decent if you're in a bind. The food here can be somewhat inconsistent. I’ve had delicious meals and others that felt like they were just thrown together. If they focus more on authentic recipes and ingredients, they could elevate the dining experience exponentially. Staff was nice but that doesn't make up for a lack of quality in food. Not the worst, but far from the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" As an avid lover of Chinese cuisine, I've experienced my fair share of good and bad. New Pagoda Restaurant unfortunately fell into the latter category during my visit. The food tasted rather generic, lacking the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The service was rather inattentive, and there was a significant mix-up with my order—slow communication made everything worse. I didn’t feel welcome at all. In my opinion, a major revamp of their menu and staff training is needed. This was not what I expected at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit New Pagoda, I leave feeling satisfied. The staff are attentive and even though the wait can be a bit long, the large portions more than make up for that. Dishes like the fried rice are packed with flavor, and the sweet and sour pork is a family favorite. Give them a try if you're near Vanderhoof; it's a solid choice for filling meals.

" Had the fortune of visiting New Pagoda last weekend. This place has quickly become my go-to for Chinese food. The sweet and sour pork is exceptional, and the spicy prawns are a must-try! I prefer to take out, but they give you plenty of food for your money, making the experience worthwhile. The staff are attentive without being overbearing, and the quick service perfectly suited my on-the-go lifestyle. I’ll certainly be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited New Pagoda recently and came away with just an average impression. The meals were about what I expected for a small-town restaurant; the sweet and sour pork was decent, but there were other items on the menu that left much to be desired. Staff were friendly, but overall the quality of the food did not impress and I think they need to revamp their offerings. I wouldn’t be in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)
