I can't think of any Chinese Store better than this one in the area

Going here for almost 20 years. Sadly, I have to find another Halal Chinese restaurant. Ordered for pick up..... Singapore noodles, chicken wings with beef fried rice, tofu with broccoli. I received a call back from the restaurant confirming my order and realized they had two beef fried rice, I told them to cancel one. I picked my order up 20 minutes later and went home. What a waste of my money. They did not cancel one of the beef fried rice, so I have two. The noodles tasted good but it was so salty and so much oil was used that it pooled at the bottom of the dish. I couldn’t eat it. Same unbearable saltiness with the tofu and broccoli and chicken wings. The tofu and chicken wings were also so greasy. Tasted like old oil. The fried rice was not cooked through meaning the rice still needed cooking to be tender and not taste like you eating grit in every grain. Please don’t waste your money. This place used to be good. It seems they have lived past caring about being a good establishment and the health of community which they serve. People do not need a ton of salt and oil in their food.

They have a very rude and combative staff. They don't appreciate the business that the community gives them. We will not support their business ever again.

My people's always enjoy eating there

I only eat halal and there are no halal Chinese restaurants in Hampton Roads VA. If anyone can confirm otherwise I will stand corrected. But in the past seven years having lived there I couldn't get authentic Chinese food. I don't count Panda Express as such. So coming back north to live I really have come home to China Pagoda. It did my heart and soul good to have clean, halal delicious food. I missed you shrimp and broccoli, beef lomein, shrimp lomein, shrimp fried rice, mei fun, teriyaki sticks....... And they give you salaams ? Welcome back me, welcome back

Excellent chicken fried rice!!

Ordered shrimp and broccoli with extra sauce. Very little sauce and the shrimp is soggy. Last time getting food from this place.

I think this place deserves praise in a city full of sketchy Chinese takeout spots. They never disappoint! Almost anything you order is a hit and they actually put service first. I do recommend you order the General Tso chicken with only a little sauce like I did this time because last time I ordered it was a little TOO much. Enjoy.

The fried chicken there is so good, The fried rice is so good with hot sauce and so is the fried chicken, the place is clean from what I know of the times I’ve been there and they serve good dishes.

Yesterday was our first time in this magnificent restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the courteous service, with the finest food and fine drinks and with the honest price. We will absolutely visit there in a short time.
