    Fried squid and Chinese broccoli
    William L.

    We had dim sum here, which they serve everday. There is also menu of larger entrees. While we there another table ordered a lobster dish, which looked amazing. We tried a lot of the smaller dishes. Pig's feet, fried squid, spare ribs, sticky rice, and turnip cake - all so good! They have a variety of beverages and beer, wine and alcohol. The staff and owner couldn't be any more welcoming. Highly recommend.

    Our favorite Dim Sum spot! I've posted a review on this spot before and I'm doing it again. Everyone is so friendly and attentive here - you walk in hungry and probably have to be rolled out. They consistently come around and your plate/table is never empty. I crave this just about every week and wish we lived closer than an hour and thirty minutes so I could enjoy it more often!

    Dim Sim

    Pagoda has been around for decades! It used to be by the University of Minnesota, but it got replaced by a McDonald's years ago.... Back then, it was one of my favorite spots as a student, so I was pretty sad when it was closed. Imagine my excitement when I found out it's back in Roseville! We went for their weekend dim sum and loved it. You can either order from the carts or choose the dim sum buffet. The prices are super reasonable, and there are tons of options to pick from. The dim sum is legit--authentic and delicious! Plus, parking is easy since it's in a shopping mall area. The service is quick and friendly, but be ready for a wait if you're going on the weekend. It's usually packed, so you might have to wait at least 15 minutes. They have a lot of tables. However, if you're not into sitting close to other people or want a quiet meal, weekends might not be the best time to visit. It's definitely busy, but the energy makes it fun!

    We came here for the all you can eat dim sum. We were heavily disappointed, most of the food was pretty cold or just lukewarm and the taste wasn't really there either. We tried to get every single dumpling and item that was available in the all you can eat promotion. I would say the one thing that I actually enjoyed was the chicken feet and would recommend if anyone visits this restaurant to give that a go. We were not huge fans of some of the steam buns, you could tell that they had really been sitting in the tray for a while. I feel like a restaurant like this is really good when the food's coming out straight from the kitchen, but if it's been sitting, this is an absolute no go. The restaurant is pretty however, and the service was really great with all of the wait staff being very kind and helpful.

    Siomai

    Pagoda is our main go to place especially when we're craving pork siomai! Absolutely delicious and just hits the spot -- all the noodles we've tried has been amazing. Service is always good and they recognize our family coming in now!! Pagoda always feels like home from catering with students in the dinky town location to catering families in Roseville :) our personal favorites are siomai like listed earlier, shrimp ball, young chow fried rice, chicken wing, salt and pepper pork chop, beef lo mein and chow fun and many more. There's AYCE on weekends with a lot of options !!! Plus bottomless mimosas. Definitely makes my weekend! This is where we talk all our friends coming visiting!

    We definitely enjoyed it here. Parking is great as they are in a huge shopping center with a lot of available spots. I felt like it started off slow when I arrived as no one really greeted me when I walked into the restaurant even with only one table filled. It improved once I got someone's attention and got seated though. Inside it is a nice eatery featuring classic Sichuan specialties & dim sum. We opted to share dim sum. The service was consistently attentive and friendly. Each dish arrived fresh and they came out fairly quick. It's not the best dim sum spot I've been to but they definitely do a good job.

    The staff was so friendly! I stopped by for a meal between shifts. I was the only one there at 445/5 on a Thursday haha. Though that was a little uncomfortable, I took advantage of their happy hour BOGO half off apps. For $20 I had some delicious pot stickers (the sauce... I could eat it on anything) and salt and pepper wings! It was more food than I could eat! The wings were some of the best I've had, even comparing non Asian restaurants! I want to get back here for their AYCE dim sum (aka small bites). If it had been a little livelier I would give it 5 stars!

    Amazing authentic food in a relaxed atmosphere. Excellent service! If you can't decide if you want a menu item or dim sum, do what we do: order both!

    Pagoda in Roseville (right by Rosedale Mall) is offering a 4 for $40 special. What a great offer! It's for a limited time and the conditions of the deal: 1) any menu item under $25 2) spread the word on social media once done 3) only valid Tuesday-Friday. The food and service were excellent! Definitely coming back soon! What we ordered: Seafood and vegetables crispy noodles - nice amount of quality seafood, noodles were fried to perfection 5/5 Crispy garlic fish - so light, juicy, and crispy! 5/5 Kung Pao Beef - overall good with lots of peanuts 4/5 Pork with Garlic Sauce- overall good with a nice balance of bamboo shoots, wood ear, and pork 4/5 Service was definitely 5/5 Restaurant was clean, lots of space and plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall

    We came back to try more menu options before their summer 4 for $40 deal expires. Our favorite dishes are still: Honey Walnut Shrimp Beef Chow Fun Beef Brisket Hot Pot Service was hit or miss. Multiple servers asked for my order as soon as I arrived and needed some time to look at the menu, but then we had to wait and flag someone down for service after that. Ambiance is simple and casual.

    I really wanted dimsum but didn't expect much any in st paul, boy was i wrong. This place was excellent the food was delicious, portion sizing was great and pricing was reasonable. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and I noticed the chef even came out at the end to check how we liked the food. All in all its a great place if your not sure if you'll like it come anyways. We'll be back. Maybe I'll say hi, but probably not because I'll be focused on my yummy food

    First, the staff here is outrageously friendly. If you've never had dim sum, it's kind of a unique experience. There's a menu with a bunch of items that you write a check mark next the items you want to order. I love the brothy dumplings! They come out hot, so make sure you avoid what I did (burned my taste buds) and be patient. The fried rice could have been more fried. It has a very light color. You can taste the oil, more than a toasted flavor. However, I still enjoyed it!

    We celebrated my wife's birthday today. We ordered from the lunch menu. I got the beef and broccoli, my wife got sesame chicken and our daughter got chicken and broccoli. All the lunches came with white rice and cream cheese wontons. Very nice lunch. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake and they also brought out a cupcake with a cherry blossom design on the plate. it was all very good. Thank you for a nice lunch.

It helps too to have a well maintained, attractive place to eat. Shuang Cheng has ticked those boxes for three and half plus decades. Let's start with one of the most basic items: Wonton Soup. Boring, I hear you say! Well, consider this: broth that has a deep, deep flavor and wasn't something that was an afterthought. Generous slices of roasted pork, tender wonton wrappers stuffed with a great-tasting filling. Boring? Hardly. It's literally the best wonton soup I've ever had. OK, what about something like lobster with black bean sauce. Nailed it. Sweet, generous portion of lobster in a sauce so good, you can use it as a dip for your lobster and it's fantastic over the rice. EMPEROR'S CHICKEN (15.85) - My wife varied from her usual Sesame Chicken (which she thinks is better than any other Chinese restaurant) and is a lightly breaded and deep fried chicken fillet slices of ham over a bed of bok choy and mushrooms. Perfect she said. The service is always good, the restaurant was remodeled a few years ago and if you can overcome the parking challenge in Dinkytown, this traditional Cantonese restaurant deserves a permanent place on your regular restaurant rotation. Enough said.

It was nice visiting and enjoying some of our previously go-to dishes. The soft shell crab made with golden garlic style was as delicious as I remembered, although at a much higher price now ($44+) for the dish.

The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes that we ordered ended up being very similar in taste/sauce/seasoning but still pretty good. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly.
