Pagoda Cantonese

This food was disgusting! Ordered Hong Kong sweet and sour pork! Were like bullets and inedible! Wouldn’t give to my dog! Avoid at all costs

To give the benefit of doubt and a fair chance, tonight was the fourth time we’ve tried Pagoda since the new owners took over - it was definitely our last. The food is just awful - rice was stodgy and unpleasant - crispy chicken was soggy with a mushy coating that tasted terrible and the chips.....you get the picture. The staff are completely charmless - it’s a shame as we’ve been loyal customers for over 15 years with the previous owners who were happy, always pleased to see you and most importantly, provided excellent food. Goodbye Pagoda - it was great and then suddenly....it wasn’t.

On entering the the pagoda I noticed the lack of customers, ordered my food , then out of curiosity looked at the reviews . Then realised the pagoda was under new ownership and read some reviews. I Gave the place a chance . Food was prompt , didn't wait long , but I was the only customer , was hot , but totally different in taste and colour , with a slight sweet tangy flavour to the chicken curry and chicken fried rice I previously had when it was under the old ownership. It also had all the decor ripped out , so the atmosphere made it feel like a low budget takeaway . Tried it once but sadly not again

Having used the Pagoda for many years, I don’t think I will going back there after my latest meal.Everything was so bland in flavour especially the beef curry & chow mien, there was nothing which stood out to distinguish any dishes which we had.The upside is the portions were larger but most people would prefer the quality of the food over quantity.

avoid avoid avoid ..avoid...everything I ordered was sweet as dessert..no taste other than loaded sweethess.....never again...

Before the pagoda was taken over by the new owners it was a busy and thriving local chinese with very friendly owners used by so many people in the neighborhood/community.Before it was always packed and now it's pretty much empty.I Haven't been to the pagoda since it changed hands because of it's reputation going really downhill,the reviews and also because it now has a hygiene rating of 2.

Awful chinese takeaway, DO NOT give these new owners a chance and waste your money. Such a shame as it was such a good Chinese takeaway with the previous owners!

Ordered my food online for delivery at 19:40, turned up at 17:50 so understandably it was sent back with the driver. We have had the early delivery despite choosing a time on their website previously, but have let that slide but two hours early is not acceptable. Spoke to someone at the shop and explained the situation and that it clearly states on my order that it was booked for a specific time and that could i get a new order sent out at the correct time for which he agreed. 19:50 the order arrives back at the door, opening the order it was clear to see that the order that arrived two hours earlier had just been sat back in their kitchen gathering dust, the food was lukewarm at best, sauce was congealed on top of the rice, chicken balls were soggy due to being sat in the bag for so long. Had to ring the shop back where i was put in touch with the owner who insists that it was cooked fresh to be re sent out to me and hadnt infact been sat waiting for two hours. If that is the case and that was their idea of fresh food then that disturbs me even more. The only solution the owner could come up with was if i hadnt touched the food (which i wouldnt have fed my dog so definitely hadnt touched it) the driver would do a third trip to my house to collect it for a refund (great customer service) so im left hungry eating dry crackers which to be fair, is probably better than eating what showed up at my door from Pagoda tonight. Good work Pagoda, another lost customer.

Best Chinese take away! Food is very tasty. We can’t stop going here!

Haven’t had food from here in a long while, heard about new owners and the most recent reviews on here have been very negative, but having received a new menu through the letter box we thought we would give it a go. And are glad we did! Plenty of options, including vegan choices, all the food was delicious! Huge portions too meaning there is plenty left for tomorrow, so glad to have such a great takeaway so close and will be back again soon!
