Small family owned hole in the wall. Not great but not bad either. There aren't very many alternatives in the area to eat at but it will do in a pinch. When you call in an order it is usually ready within 15 minutes. I eat the deep fried roasted garlic and chow mein at lunch time and it is a very healthy portion for the price. They recently changed their credit card minimum to $20, which is actually inconvenient for me because my lunch special and coke come in under $20. They don't charge to use credit card though which I like. Over all not a bad place.

Definitely a hole in the wall that you'll want to try. Service was pretty good. Our food was cooked right away. Fried rice and chow mein is fire. Mongolian beef is flavorful. Def come check it out.

We came to buy steamed rice and they charge a lot for it. Was willing to pay for it had family over and didn't have time to make my own. Was told we cannot buy rice without food? And it was yelled at us in the dining room. Been coming to this place a long time.Went home and cooked my own. Very unprofessional. Never again.

I love Chinese chicken salad and every restaurant has their spin and version of this Chinese classic. I don't know who was cooking on Sunday April 30 but for the first time in my life I finally found a place where I did not like the chicken salad. Because of Pagoda House, I can no longer tell my friends that "I never had a Chinese chicken salad that I didn't like". Amazing.The sweet and sour pork, BBQ pork fried rice and broccoli beef, salt and pepper spareribs was just as bad. If you are looking for that hole in the wall gem, keep looking and thank me later.We will never, ever go back to this place!

Wanted to like this place as I love hole in the wall Chinese food. Just didn't do it for me. Tried the chicken which wasn't very flavorful and check tasted meh. They fried was was also just okay. It was rice, soy sauce, and meat tossed together. No veggies like carrots or onions and not much flavor either.

By far the best Chinese food I’ve had in central San Jose. I have a very big appetite for Chinese food….. I will go the distance for food that fills my appetite and cleanse my palate. Give it a try, you won’t forget it, and you won’t regret it, ever. Pass the word on it!

This was an unplanned stop. It was a unanimous decision on the rating I notched, first with my opinion then with my brood. By far the best Chinese food, notching a “very good food” from my wife. She is quite picky but was sold on the taste on every dish we ordered)3 rice or chow-mein and 5 main courses). This will be our go-to Chinese food! I hope you will enjoy as much as we did! Price is reasonable for the quality & taste of the food!
