★★★★★ Have been going there for more than 23 years. My family loves their food Posted on February 19, 2024

★★★★★ [No review submitted] Posted on July 1, 2019

★☆☆☆☆ THIS PLACE IS NOT HALAL! Not Zabihah hand-slaughtered OR machine slaughtered!!! Some people who verify where halal restaurants get their poultry from said the restaurant had changed ownership and the partner GETS CHICKEN FROM WHEREVER IS CHEAPEST. Haraam OR halal, she doesnt care because she is not muslim. We called them just to ask where they get the chicken from anyway, the guy kept saying Senat. We called senat today and they said they have NEVER delivered to China Pagoda! These people lie when you ask about their 'halal' food. The certificate they display is also a load of crap. They're as halal as the thousands of other chinese restaurants around the states. Posted on July 1, 2015

★★★★★ Cheap place good portion of food I had 1/2 chicken with fried rice and soda for less than $7 dollars . Quick service . Posted on October 25, 2014

★★★☆☆ [No review submitted] Posted on September 19, 2014

★★★★☆ Refreshing to see a Halal Chinese place, food is good, (could use a little KICK) fast service. Posted on September 22, 2013

★★★★★ Fast service, excellent food, good prices. This is hands down the best American Chinese food I have had anywhere. Their hot oil you can request only makes it better! When I want Chinese, I drive...specifically here. Posted on August 29, 2013

★★★★★ Best Chinese food around! Fair prices and great food. Ambiance is non-existent and seating is decent. Customer service is what you expect at a Chinese take-out restaurant. Posted on May 22, 2013

★★★☆☆ the food is pretty good and rather cheap, however the employees are very rude and unwelcome. its also very dirty, there's always food lying around on the tables and on the floor, the bathrooms are even worst. best to take out. Posted on August 29, 2012

★★★☆☆ Good food overall. Posted on March 12, 2012

★★★★☆ Hands down best Halal Chinese food in east coast. I have tried plenty and this is the best! Beef fried rice with half chicken ($6.25!) is the best food to order. Ask for spicy if you can handle it. Also, don't forget to try special sauce (hot oil) Posted on September 17, 2011

★★★★☆ Great place to get your halal Chinese fix. Posted on March 21, 2011

★★★★★ one of my favourite places...they have a great variety of halal food...as they have large number of dishes..not all of them are delicious..but some are.....the employee had an attitude problem...but now......they have changed their employees and they are really friendly. Posted on March 9, 2011

★★★☆☆ The food is fine, but the place really needs to be cleaned more often. Every time I go there, there is food on the floor. Posted on October 6, 2010

★★★★☆ The food is good but the employees have the biggest attitude. The place is dirty and too small. Posted on September 21, 2008

★★★☆☆ Service is quick considering the foot traffic -- quality of food is "ok" though their portions are huge (portions go to waste). Their soups are good -- late night take out place at best. Posted on January 27, 2008

★★★★★ Chinese food is so much better than Bengali food. I am Bengali and say that Bangali food suxs. Eat here with family. Posted on October 20, 2007

★★★★☆ The food is alright but they get mixed up with my orders. also they have bad service. Posted on March 6, 2007

★☆☆☆☆ Visited this chinese place after reading reviews on this site. Either something has drastically or people who said on this site that the food was good are totally mistaken. This place is just like any other corner side chinese take out place or even worser. Food is horrible and tasteless. I could not even finish what they gave me. I had to throw it away..... BAD Experience Posted on December 30, 2006

★★★★★ Chinesse food here is AWESOME Posted on December 18, 2006

★★★★★ The food is great and halal! No more need to be said b/c nothing else matters. Posted on December 10, 2006

★☆☆☆☆ Went there today. Place was filthy. Floor was dirty, service extremely poor. Bathroom had crap on the floor and no soap. When complained to clean restroom, they cleaned with a mop and did not wash their hands. Soap was still not added. Can't believe this passed health inspection. Posted on October 24, 2006

★★★☆☆ Bengali food is better than Chinese food anyday. Now let's find some good Bengali restaurants. Posted on September 6, 2006

★★★★★ I love this place! If they had the same food in a nicer restaurant atmosphere, they'd be the most popular restaurant in town. We always take-out from here because it's such good food and affordable. I recommend the sesame chicken. Posted on April 23, 2006

★★★★★ Truly the best Chinese Food in the New York Area (I have tasted all). The environment is great, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious. The pricing is adequate because they give large quantity. For the people out their who love spicy food, I would order General Tsu's Chicken but tell them to make it only hott and spicy, not sweet. Aside from that, their Fried Chicken tastes excellent. Posted on February 19, 2006

NR Asalaamu-alaikum brothers and sisters: A word of caution - I'm not sure, but I believe that the "halal" Chinese food restaurants in the NYC/NJ area may (unmaliciously and without knowing they are doing something wrong) get their meats from the same sources as the non-halal restaurants. I believe that they think just because they use no pork and no wine means their food is halal (which, of course, is not accurate). My theory is unsubstantiated by hard facts, but I do suspect that it's true. I think this should be further investigated. Salaam to all. Posted on October 31, 2005

★★★★★ Absolutely fantastic halal chinese! The sesame chicken is sooo crispy n YUMMMY!!! phew!! i luv this place! Posted on October 19, 2005

★★★★★ The best halaal chinese food in NJ! Posted on September 5, 2005

★★★★★ I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood of some tasty chinese food. The food is really good & the dishes are large. My family & I were quite satisfied & intend to take out from there often, inshaa Allah. Posted on December 6, 2004

★★★★★ the ebat chinese i have had in years. if you yearn for great chinese believe me this is the place to go! Posted on August 23, 2004

★★★★★ Excellent food, small area to sit, actually it's a take out place. But excellent food... Posted on July 15, 2004

★★★★★ This is the best halal I have had yet!I have had the chance to eat in Chicago,Boston,N.Y as well as other places but this one is the best I have had.I will admit it is a small place and there are no staff to wait on you,but man that was the best duck I ever had! Posted on June 28, 2004

★★★★★ I love this place, I travel from flushing, NY just to eat here. The food is delicious and the best chinese halal I tasted. If you can, try it, if you dont like it, forget it... Salams Posted on January 15, 2004

★★★★★ China pogoda has very tasty food great service and nice people . Posted on January 7, 2004

★★★★★ "China Pagoda in Paterson doesn't have the buffet that was the old store that closed in Wayne, this one has very good Chinese food, my american friends come here too because its really good... very few seats available, no delivery.. a lot of food for a good price..." Posted on May 25, 2003

★☆☆☆☆ service is very poor too much noisey .we preffer it only because they serve halal. Posted on March 10, 2003

★★★☆☆ A good place to go for Halal Chinese dishes. While not all the dishes are nicely done it still remains a good option. It is mostly a take-out with a few tables for dine-in though not waiter service. Posted on December 23, 2002

★★★☆☆ Recommended to me by a friend. They have all types chinese food that you would find in other chinese restaurants. Posted on June 2, 2001

★★★☆☆ Lunch and dinner buffet is available. You can also take out food. Dozens of halal chinese dishes and desserts. Drinks, ice cream and soda also included in buffet. Nice place to sit for the family. Hall availabe for bigger parties. Posted on August 10, 2000
