Everything was delicious!! This was our first time here and we arrived twelve minutes after they opened. There were a few young gentleman inside prepping for service but they greeted us and were very courteous and welcoming. We ordered the pork steamed dumplings, and pork boa buns for the appetizer. They were both delicious! The flavors were great with the pickled vegetables cutting the sticky, and not too sweet, sauce perfectly and the pieces weren’t very fatty either. Then we ordered the chicken noodle and the pork clay pot dishes. Amazing!!!! I don’t think I’ve tasted any dish in Tampa Bay with this much flavor. The pork clay pot dish wasn’t drowned in sauce so there was a great spongy layer of steamed rice, pork, vegetables and seasoning. The last time I had something this memorable was in NYC about two years ago. I’m will try to order something else on the menu next time but I think my mind is already set. lol
Enjoy and give back to the community by visiting locally owned businesses!
Food is delicious, prices are right. So glad we chose this place for dinner. Chicken clay pot basically tastes like a cross between a panang curry and a regular red curry, but it was very well done. Wife got the seafood stir-fry. Hers included octopus, even though it didn't say it would on the menu, but she enjoyed it. Her friend got one of the sushi rolls and she enjoyed that as well. Edamame appetizer was nice. Spring rolls were alright as well, although a tad mushy, like they overcooked the filling. Only complaint I had about the meal, though. Would easily return. They have something for everyone here.
EXCELLENT food. We split a spicy tuna roll which, rather than being stuffed with typical spicy mayo was drizzled with sriracha, a welcome variation. Then had the drunken noodles - hot - and they were fantastic, full of basil, garlic, and a delicious amount of heat from the spice. A lot of great looking cocktails - HIGHLY recommend the Wrong Turn if you're into mezcal. Derek was on top of his service game. We'll be in frequently to try the rest of the menu.
Had a great lunch here! The crab Rangoon was the best I’ve ever had. It had more flavors than just cream cheese and they are shaped in a way that there are no empty corners! I also had the rainbow roll which was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was perfect.
I went with my family and we all had a very good experience, the service was very friendly, the food was very tasty, the portions are neither big nor small, they are just the right size; I ordered shrimp risotto and sticky rice for dessert, the restaurant was very clean and I liked the decoration too, nice atmosphere
My first visit and I will be back for dinner with friends! I stopped in after a long work meeting and ordered the Basil chicken. It was delicious! The restaurant is beautiful inside, don’t let the outside fool you. It’s trendy and up to date. Great music play list too! Great service too!
First time here and had a lovely time. Adequate parking outside; spacious and beautifully decorated interior. Very attentive staff.
We got CHANG beers! Yassss. Our favorite Thai beer, ice cold to start.
Then we ordered the pork belly hot pot and sizzling duck. That hot pot HIT IT. Whoa. Outstanding. Juicy in what seemed to be a sticky soy-based sauce, rice perfectly caramelized at the bottom. BIGGEST pork belly pieces I've ever seen in my life. All so perfectly cooked.
The sizzling duck was beautifully cooked as well, but wish it had more of the curry sauce. Was not enough to wet a starchy rice side. Still delicious though and LOVED the amount of big carrots and green beans it came with.
Will definitely come back!
Visited this place for the first time tonight. Was super impressed. Service was excellent in the food was better. Had the fried shrimp and fried calamari as an appetizer both perfectly cooked with very nice sauce.
Spring rolls

Nice atmosphere. Food was great
Reviewing solely based on an uber eats order, but probably one of the best pad Thais I’ve ever had. Thai hot actually has a kick, chicken is super tender, and the flavor is incredible.
My mom and I had a great dinner here recently. Our server, Connor, explained the various dishes and helped us make really great choices. I highly recommend the spicy seafood stir fry. Tons of seafood and the right amount of spice for flavor (NOT burn your mouth spicy). We will definitely be back!
Food is delicious, prices are right. So glad we chose this place for dinner. Chicken clay pot basically tastes like a cross between a panang curry and a regular red curry, but it was very well done.

We happened upon Green Pagoda after finding that our original choice had unexpectedly closed. This was a decently priced Asian restaurant with plenty of options for everyone. It was clean, nicely decorated, and friendly. If I lived nearby, I think it would be a regular stop. I got the seafood stir fry, which had a lot more seafood than advertised (which is great! I just happen to be picky with my seafood, so I might not have chosen it if I knew about all the extra things included). Others at the table had the chicken clay pot (delicious), coconut soup with chicken (great), and one of the sushi rolls (good, not outstanding). We also had the edamame and veggie spring rolls, which were standard and yummy, but nothing extraordinary. Our waitress was incredibly helpful and friendly, and even staff who we did not directly interact with said goodbye and had a smile for us as we left.
Warm inviting space with an Asian theme. Service was good and quick as requested.
We had the curries, red and green that were top notch in flavor and ingredients. Succulent chicken and fresh vegetables made for a lush flavor profile. The red was delicious with a slightly sweet and savory mix with that delicate coconut flavor ever present. The green had a nice bite of spice to it and the earthier flavors that separate the two types of curries.
The steamed pork belly buns were solid but the meat could have been warmer and a little more crispy. All in all a very good lunch experience!
Always friendly fast service with delicious tasting food. Had a quick lunch of spring rolls and pork belly buns which were so tasty. My friend and I will be going back for lunch very soon.
One of my goto spots for lunch or casual dinner with the family. Had the spicy steak fried rice and the steak was a bit chewy for my liking. Flavor was excellent. All other food I have had was on point.
I discovered this place a couple months ago. Delicious had the Tom Yum and the pork spring rolls and the Pad see Ew with all three proteins. Whoever made that dish, oh my gosh, it was perfect. You tasted the beef that was seared in the smokiness throughout the dish and the sauce and the flavoring was awesome. I told everyone about it … now went through today and it was definitely not the same recipe or the same chef. Who eats boiled steak? I don’t think that was steak. It was beef, but it was boiled and was tough and The dish was so bland, but I was so hungry. I ate it. Heavy on noodles, not fully cooked or stirred to make sure it wasn’t globby. I won’t order it again until I know that they went back to original cooking method. I’ll just try something else. It’s not that I wouldn’t go back because it’s a fabulous place. I just won’t be ordering that again. Pork spring rolls are delicious. Maybe next time I’ll try the sushi. I keep hearing that it’s good.
First time here and very good. Generous portions.
Ordered from here for the first time last night and the food was SO GOOD. Will definitely order from here again, so happy we found this place
I went with my family and we all had a very good experience, the service was very friendly, the food was very tasty, the portions are neither big nor small, they are just the right size; I ordered shrimp risotto and sticky rice for dessert, the restaurant was very clean and I liked the decoration too, nice atmosphere
I have been to Green Pagoda three times now and I have to give it a mixed review. The food is mostly very good, but the service is odd with a dash of bad thrown in. I'll start with the service: I won't give all the examples of weirdness, as that would make this review too long, but just a few examples are: the second time I was there, I ordered the green curry chicken. When the dish was brought to the table, it was beautiful, but it was obviously a red curry sauce, not green. So I asked the waiter, "Is this the green curry? It looks like red curry." He insisted it was the green curry, and that is how it looks. Now, I should add here that Thai cuisine is one of my very favorite cuisines, and I know a red curry sauce from a green curry sauce, even though my vision isn't what it used to be. So I said, oh, that's interesting, as it really looks red. The waiter again insisted that it was the green curry. So I ate it, and it was delicious, by the way, but it definitely tasted like red curry sauce. Fast forward to today, I went back and I once again ordered the green curry chicken. Well! This time it came out with a green curry sauce, so now I know that the previous time, I had been right: I was given red curry when I ordered green curry. I understand that mistakes happen and, if the waiter had just said something like "Oh, you know what, I think you're right--that's the red curry, do you want me to take it back?", I would have certainly said no, that's okay, I'm fine with the red instead. But what I don't like--especially in light of the other, similar examples I'm going to give here--is that the server insisted it was green curry when, come to find out today, no, it had indeed been the red curry, just as I thought at the time. A second example of weirdness was today, when the person who seated us gave us the wrong menus--the dinner menus instead of the lunch menus. We arrived when they opened, at noon, so it was definitely lunch. When I somehow managed to get his attention (not easy) and he seemingly reluctantly came over to our table, and I pointed out that we were given the dinner menus and not the lunch menus, he argued with me and said "No, those are the menus.", and he walked off. Now, this was the third time I've been there and I know those are not the lunch menus! So then, when I finally got our server's attention, I told her, we have the wrong menus, could we get the lunch menus, please? Her response was: "Well, it's the same thing, it's just the dinner is more expensive and bigger portions." I asked her again: could we please have the lunch menus? Finally, we got the right menus. This same server also described what Thai tea was to my friend, who had never had it before and had asked her what it is, and she (the server) did not describe what Thai tea is accurately at all, so I therefore added info she had left out about it, at which point the server argued with me about that, too. It was all decidedly WEIRD--there was just a very weirdly, totally unnecessary adversarial vibe in there today and every time I've gone, it seems that they get something wrong, yet they insist that it is right. So odd.
As for the food, I think it is mostly very good--the green curry and the red curry sauces are both excellent. The vegetable dumpling appetizer, which my friend ordered the first time I was there, and kindly offered me one to try, are delectable, with a lovely sesame-soy dipping sauce. The vegetables in the main dishes I've had are consistently fresh and the meat is a good quality. However, the Phad Thai sauce is terribly sweet, so I would not recommend getting that dish there unless you like an extremely sweet sauce.
I would go to Green Pagoda again if one of my friends ever wanted to go there, as the food is, as I said, mostly good. However, I wouldn't be the one suggesting myself that we go there, as I can't get past the experiences I've had with the service, as detailed in the examples (those are just a few of the examples) above. Too weird.
Collin did a great job and recommended wonderful food and sushi. He was engaging and knowledgeable without being pushy or too chatty.
The food and atmosphere was great for the price. Thanks!
Ordered soup, salmon sashimi, and pork belly in steamed rolls. The salmon was rotten (had my friend taste as well) pork belly tough, soup was good. My friend ordered the dumplings and a tuna roll. She got the pork belly in steamed rolls and a tuna roll, no dumplings. She said the tuna roll did not taste like tuna. The worst part of all was there were a lot of gnats flying around our food. The salmon was taken off my check and we both received a 20% discount. The restaurant is beautiful inside. I'll never go back.
Just wow. I had to leave a review and I haven’t even left yet. Amazing food. Extremely fast service. Super clean dining room and staff is so friendly and welcoming.
This place felt so genuine. Thai is my favorite food and theirs is now my favorite one. Will come back many many times. Thank you!
EXCELLENT food. We split a spicy tuna roll which, rather than being stuffed with typical spicy mayo was drizzled with sriracha, a welcome variation. Then had the drunken noodles - hot - and they were fantastic, full of basil, garlic, and a delicious amount of heat from the spice. A lot of great looking cocktails - HIGHLY recommend the Wrong Turn if you're into mezcal. Derek was on top of his service game. We'll be in frequently to try the rest of the menu.
The quality of the food is consistently delicious.
I love this place!
The food is amazing! The staff are friendly as well.
This place has great food but getting that food can be frustrating. I often order the same dish but it is rarely cooked the way it is described on their menu; ingredients that are listed on the menu are left out of the dish. Also, the online ordering function on their website does not work. So the only other option to order online is through UberEats where each item is $5-$6 more expensive. I hope they work out the kinks soon.
Green Pagoda in St. Petersburg is a gem! The stylish and comfortable ambiance complements the diverse menu perfectly. The pork Belly Buns and Pad See Ew were delicious, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. A must-visit for Asian fusion lovers!
#DishtApproved
Went for lunch. What a gem in St Pete to find. Stir fry fresh and tasty. Very clean place.
Amazing place! Stopped in from out of town and so glad we did. Service, food and atmosphere was great! We ordered several things off of the food and drink menu and everything was exceptional. Try their Lychee Martini! So good!
I don’t recommend calamari
Worst Asian food Ive ever eaten in my life. Soggy cold chicken and Tom yum goong was absolutely terrible and had oysters in it….. whaaaat I will never eat there again. Mexican roll was super soggy. Spent 65$ and can’t even eat my meal. Highly disappointed.
Excellent food and drinks. Reasonable Prices
Fantastic Drunken Chicken and Thai iced tea. Beautiful dining room and clean restrooms. I'll return.
Food was good. Service was excellent and very courteous.
Hidden gem! Fantastic food!
Food delicious, decor cute, restaurant clean, service great
We had a lovely time here. The sushi was great as well as the miso soup. The service was excellent! The decor, music and ambiance was very good. We will definitely be back soon.
My first visit and I will be back for dinner with friends! I stopped in after a long work meeting and ordered the Basil chicken. It was delicious! The restaurant is beautiful inside, don’t let the outside fool you. It’s trendy and up to date. Great music play list too! Great service too!
Everything was great. The staff was nice. The shrimp pad Thai was really good. They also customized the sushi, which was my 8 year old. The berry salad was also really good. The portion sizes are big. Definitely plan to be back when I came back to st pete.
Would have loved to try the food here, my husband and I came in for dinner for date night before I delivered our new child. We both sat there for 30 minutes completely ignored. People had been sat, gotten their drinks, and appetizers before we gave up and left. As a heavily pregnant woman I know I was not easy to miss. Two waiters were waiting tables though it seemed as we were completely invisible. I can't give anymore stars even though I would love to but seeing as how we didn't get served this is what I have to give.
Absolutely amazing! We absolutely loved our experience. The food was exceptional. We had sushi and miso soup. We will definitely be back!
Cute place. My friend was nice and said it smelled earthy. I think she’s being nice because she chose this place and felt bad because she has a sense I didn’t enjoy the smell. I forgot what my friend ordered, but she said it was okay. Most Thai and Laos restaurants, I order paw-sew or Lad na because same dishes in both countries. The pa-sew was good. BUT!! I would never return for this price because it’s such a common dish and other Thai /Laos restaurants be 40% cheaper. The odd part is them selling Risotto. Isn’t that Italian lol? But I tried it since my guy made it recently and I wanted to compare it. The risotto at this Thai restaurant was horrible because it taste like a bad version of Mac-n-cheese. Too mushy and cheesy. I rather have a regular Mac n cheese. Then I ordered a third dish due to go. Pad-thai. My guy said it wasn’t bad, but once again, I felt it’s not worth the price. Three dishes and one cup of risotto was about $85 with tip. Other St. Pete places taste good and would probably cost me about $45.
The service was amazing! Food was very tasty, definitely adding this to our date night rotation!
Nice atmosphere and supper yummy food 😊
Connor was friendly, attentive and recommended a few things which is always welcomed. We started sharing a bottle of wine, ordered the homemade krab rangoon which were cheesy and crunchy, delicious. My friend had the surf and turf w/ eel eggs sushi which she liked but mentioned it needed a sauce, so added sweet chili sauce from appetizer. I ordered the chicken pad se ew which was good overall as it had chicken, bok choy, scallions and cilantro, I did have a few rubbery pieces of chicken which was a bummer, next time just veggies.
First time here and had a lovely time. Adequate parking outside; spacious and beautifully decorated interior. Very attentive staff.
We got CHANG beers! Yassss. Our favorite Thai beer, ice cold to start.
Then we ordered the pork belly hot pot and sizzling duck. That hot pot HIT IT. Whoa. Outstanding. Juicy in what seemed to be a sticky soy-based sauce, rice perfectly caramelized at the bottom. BIGGEST pork belly pieces I've ever seen in my life. All so perfectly cooked.
The sizzling duck was beautifully cooked as well, but wish it had more of the curry sauce. Was not enough to wet a starchy rice side. Still delicious though and LOVED the amount of big carrots and green beans it came with.
Will definitely come back!
Great food and service, beautiful inside! Get the black dragon roll, very good.
Me and my partner both had the pad thai main. We each had a sushi roll and 2 sapphoro beers. The total (with a $20 coupon take off) and automatic added gratuity was $82.49. The food was good but it's very overpriced . I came to this location twice when it was under another name, the decore was not as fancy but the prices were decent. Probably won't be back.
Always fire! Great authentic food, it's like Crack, once you try it you always want it at least once a week! Cocktails on point as well! Chef ping is amazing!
The main dish was reasonably priced. Side dishes and dessert were overpriced and overvalued. They bought me a small cake the size of a small donut with pineapple on top. I was charged $13 and something for that donut.
After being sat…right beside another occupied table, in a near empty restaurant, another table was sat right next to us. I have no idea why everyone is sat so close. Also. No one knew who our server would be. He is no he is no I am…ridiculous…and the temperature was no warmer than 65 degrees in there. Freezing in there. Food…just ok I guess. Drinks great. But worse was when we paid. $80 cash gave a $100 and he literally said oh sorry. I don’t have any change. There was a bartender there. I guarantee you that guy could have broke a twenty for him. Or even the manager. Terrible . Are you freaking kidding me. We were going to leave 20% even though hmmm 15% was enough for that service. But more than 20%. What a joke. There are way too many restaurants in st Pete to try out than to go back to this.
Spring rolls were and rainbow roll was great. Wonderful service!
What can I say about displays rather than it’s a place where you will find a mix of Asian dishes? I feel there is no one country in specific they focus on rather than a variety of different dishes from around Asia, which gives you the option to try new things
Some dishes, good flavor and are enjoyable I would suggest you do your research before coming to this restaurant just to know what you are looking for and try to order something that you enjoy. For example, I went with the mentality of getting some dumplings and a miso soup and a sushi, which personally speaking or good dishes, which I enjoyed.
It’s a good restaurant to go to and have some fun with your friends and not overpay for your meal.
First time here and we'll definitely be back!
We got the Krab Rangoons and Chicken Spring Rolls for appetizers and they were both on point. I got the Pad Thai and my husband got Pad See EW. I love Pad Thai and it was delicious but I tried his and that sauce was amazing!!
Service was great as well!
Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian
Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water.
As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture.
I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.
Red Snapper was awesome 👏
Officially my favorite sushi spot in town! I loved the sophisticated, yet low key atmosphere and decor. Great spot for a date night. I sat at the bar and the bar tender was in his element, slinging cocktails whilst managing orders and greeting customers. I ordered a miso soup and the seared beef roll. You can really tell the quality of a place by their simple dishes and the miso soup was flavorful and comforting and most importantly, piping hot, unlike most boxed-tasting soups at other local restaurants. The seared beef roll was a satiating, tasty discovery as well. Definitely will be back!
Green Pagoda was AMAZING! The staff was friendly and happy to give recommendations. The space has plenty of seating! The food came out quickly and piping hot. I absolutely love Asian food, so I eat it a lot. The food we had here was by far the BEST food I’ve had! We had the seasame chicken, broccoli chicken and the fried rice. I could have eaten another order of the seasame chicken. It wasn’t super sweet, like other places, and they used white and black seasame seeds. I cannot wait to go back and try some more food!
Came here for my 6th month anniversary and I absolutely loved it. I had the scallops which were so good. Liz was our server and she was super nice and I can't wait to come back again.
The ambience is really nice! I really like how the whole restaurant is decorated. I got the strawberry kiss (yum!!!!) ! And the crispy salmon roll. There was so much food but I crushed it💪💪 didn’t even need a take home box. Really fresh ingredients, and our server Liz was nice and personable! Came here for my 6 month anniversary and had a really amazing time. I’d definitely recommend to other people!
sesame chicken was phenomenal!!! miso soup was also 100% worth it as it was v chilly in the restaurant! service is a little slow but the food more than makes up for it!!
Amazing green curry...enough for multiple meals ...fried snapper sushi roll was super delicious...for apps crab rangoons and gyoza(dumplings). An absolute must try...and go back again!!!
Whole experience was amazing!!!!! Connor is an absolute joy!!!! We will definitely be back
I love green pagoda. Their food is delicious and the portion size is good. I like the chicken clay pot because of the curry.
Tried the risotto and it was absolutely delicious 👍
First visit here for lunch. Service was attentive and our meal was very tasty. We will definitely go back again.
Second visit for dinner even better! Excellent, delicious meal! Also the food presentation was colorful and so pretty.
I consider this a hidden gem that shouldn’t be so hidden! The interior is done tastefully but not over the top. The bathrooms are done in the same manner.
The server (petite girl) was super nice and welcoming. She helped me decide on what to order (between sushi rolls or pad Thai) and answered any questions I had. I noticed they have full fish they flash fry- which is my favorite way to eat fish. I’ll be back when they have branzino but this time I think she said it was salmon or maybe a white fish. Can’t recall but it was over 3 pounds! Huge! So I passed. I went with the pad thai. It was delicious- expected a bit more chicken but the taste was spot on. The pork belly buns were very tasty as well! STUFFED with pork belly- some fattier pieces than others but highly enjoyed it. There was one piece I had to peel off the skin because it wasn’t crispy- more chewy. The rolls that were coming out were HUGE! It looks like it’s one of the few places left where you actually get your moneys worth (that’s not a chain). I def plan to back in tow with friends!
The food was amazing, the server was great, and the over all vibe of the place is amazing! 10 out of 10 will eat there again!
Food service AMAZING, our server he was amazing! Food delicious, the sushi great! Those pork belly 8
Got there early on a Friday night, and had no problem parking in their lot. Between two people, we shared pork belly dumpling appetizer dumpling, black dragon roll sushi, and chicken pad see ew noodles. All the food was delicious, and the service was cheerful and efficient. This restaurant is owned by the same people that own Mangosteen and Rice Noodle restaurants on Central Ave downtown. Asian fusion with a casual yet classy ambience.
The Tom Yum soup and Lobster Risotto surpassed my every expectations. I have been telling everyone who will listen to me! The service was also quick & phenomenal 🥰
Clean unique food- very delicious. Great drinks as well. Definitely will return!
Most fresh sushi I’ve ever had. Atmosphere was great too!
The food is excellent and the service was very good. I recommend the Tom Yum soup and claypot chicken.
Great food! Great service
Excellent food. Can't wait to go back. They need more staff. Waitress was great other than she had to be flagged down for table service because it seemed they were very under staffed
slow, understaffed, waited 30 minutes to be told theyre out of spicy tuna and had to go somewhere else. wont be back
I have two favorite restaurants in St. Pete- and this is one of them!! Their entree dishes have great flavor. Risottos and peppered tuna are amazing!!
Cute design too.
This restaurant is SO good. I actually love that it is away from the downtown area so that we never have to worry about parking. There aren't many great restaurants in this part of St. Pete so I love that Green Pagoda has opened up over here. I always get the salmon and it is always amazing. Their drinks are great as well. We have also tried the dumplings and spring rolls which are also delicious.
It’s pretty good. Great service I’ve had. Some good dishes and some not so good, especially the risotto lacking any flavor.
Excellent spot for Asian-Fushion fare. The atmosphere is great. Very laid back. The service is second to none. Connor was our server and he was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We got a few sushi rolls, Tom Yum soup, Claypot Chicken, and a flash fried Branzinho fish in a coconut curry sauce. Everything was delicious and the presentation was nice. We’ll definitely be back.
Great sushi and awesome service !
We've eaten here several times and consider it one of the better Asian fusion places in town. Really good quality but expensive.
Great food and atmosphere! I’ve been there many times and today I did a take order and was not disappointed! Everything on point and fresh.
Ordered the tuna tataki salad and two rolls! Everything looked beautiful.
Staff is always super nice and welcoming. The food is always super good, I've been a few times and have not had anything wrong with any of the food.
Prices differ from their website($15 pad Thai), to their online ordering site(17.95 pad thai), to Uber Eats($23.34pad Thai). 3 different prices for the same dishes. Please update your site and decide if you charge $18 or $23 for pad thai…. Like wth is going on
Seemed clean, employees all rude because I was a single dining in for lunch. No one asked for a drink or said hello to me. Several employees looked at me then the same person that sat me came to ask for my order with what do you want. I felt so unwelcome I said nevermind and walked out. This was a very uncomfortable interaction.
Food was good not great. Shrimp pot stickers fillings were pureed and did not recognizably taste of shrimp. Risotto side dish was too small for it to be $8, coconut soup with chicken had no chicken in it, pad see ew was just okay, bao buns were okay. Prices were higher than comparable restaurants with better quality.
We ordered the Green Roll and a shrimp Pad Thai. The sushi was pretty good! The pad Thai however was very bland. We had to add soy sauce and salt to make it tolerable. They may have forgotten one of the ingredients in the sauce because we’ve had it before and it was always well seasoned. Aside from that the shrimp in pad Thai was delicious.
UPDATE: Appears to have changed hands and does not, in any way, reflect the previous owner or chef. Peppercorn Tuna (see newer photo) doesn't look or taste anything like the previous dish. Also, found metal wire in the Pad Thai. Can no longer recommend.
Nice surprise!
Stopped for lunch, and while very pricy, definitely worthy of a Michelin Star rating!
Pork Belly Claypot ($16) was bursting with so many distinct flavors! Pork was cooked to perfection . . . Tender, juicy, and fresh.
Tuna Peppercorn ($24) was also extremely flavorful with each spice coming together to form a distinctly delightful flavor. The only improvement would be in searing the tuna. It was a bit too well done (just pink on the inside) for both the quality/grade and the dish.
Simply outstanding in every way!
Highly recommend.
Great food, friendly service, would definitely go back!
Good service, decent beer selection. Large portions ! Park in the back, it's shady 😎
Delicious pad Thai. Helpful server. Swanky interior.
The service was good and the food excellent. The place was not busy on a Wednesday around noon. The dumplings were fresh and tasty. The turmeric meal was rich and very tasty. Would recommand.
Great food and service. Sushi was delicious! Will be going back.
Ok Asian take-out food. Friendly & speedy staff.
Dark, depressing and dirty. We've been 3 times and there seems to be no consistency. Ordered the same thing each time, every time it was different.
Menus are sticky. There were gnats flying around our sushi. It was very hot inside. The music was blasting!! We couldn't find a server to save our lives, they all seemed to disappear. The ice cream was served already melted. The strawberries tasted like onions. Did they use the same knife to cut fish, onions and strawberries? There didn't seem to be any managers or any adults even, running the place.
Believe me we wanted to like this place, but it's just too dark and dirty and wasn't a good experience at all. The gnats flying around our sushi was the final straw. Really made me wonder what their food storage is like.
They gave me extra spicy when I asked for mild on my pad Thai. It was inedible. When I called for a refund they told me they rather give me a free menu item and seemed bothered by my call. Very disappointed because I like their food for the most part.
Delicious food and reasonably priced
The fish roes were not fresh at all, has a strange taste to it.
Great service and food.
Pad thai was terrible— noodles weren’t pad thai noodles and it was way too sweet. Also, prices are somewhat high for Asian and the dining room was hot (77degrees.) I won’t return.
Our first visit. Fantastic all around. Great food, our waitress, Karena was very friendly and attentive and atmosphere was very bright and welcoming. We will be back!
Great food and great service. Best Thai tea and pork spring rolls around
Sweet Pad Thai? Not good. Sushi was good and everything else was acceptable.
Derek knows what's up 100
Straight g of a waiter, Derek was the best waiter on gawd. The pesto was bussin
Good soup 👌 straight bussin no CAP
Liz was an excellent server. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
The sushi menu consisted of a lot of cooked options and tons of options with cream cheese. I prefer to have more raw options with specialty rolls. The pad Thai was more sweet than we prefer. Overall good experience and we will return!

I have been here several times on my visits to the area. The food is delicious, beautifully presented, and the service is impeccable.
That was amazing food! Kudos to the staff members 👏
Delicious, refreshing, welcoming, and inspired. Will definitely be coming back!
I've never liked curry, but I gave it one more go here and it was amazing! All of the food was delicious. Staff was super friendly.
Better than Mangosteen! And love Mangosteen! Ok, it’s all about the coconut curry drizzle here. All entrees minus one have it. And for good reason. Super umami!! Enjoyed the Lobster risotto and Stuffed Trout. Which was better!? A toss up. Both fresh, perfectly prepared and super satisfying. Ordered seaweed salad before, and it’s basically the same version you find at most places. Nice decor, hard working service staff. Very no nonsense. Can’t wait to return for more of that coconut drizzle!
Commence to get drinks, then my food did not come until 20 minutes after everyone else's. Nope.
We had steamed spicy shrimp dumplins, they were my favorite of the whole meal. The pork spring rolls were yummy. My boyfriend had the fried rice and i had pagoda roll. everything was really good and fresh. the staff we friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. overall, great experience
Seems like it has gone downhill. Was really awesome when it opened but recently went for dinner and the drinks were not great, they were out of dinner items, my wife’s dish was bland, and the service was not great. Not sure what changed bc we loved this place before.
