About Pagoda Chinese
Pagoda Chinese is a Chinese takeaway in Caerphilly, based in the Castleview Shopping Centre. The menu includes vegan and veggie options, led by vegan salt and pepper chicken with chilli and garlic sauce, so vegan and vegetarian customers can order a main dish from the same kitchen as everyone else. Box meals cover the rest of the range, including a chicken ball box meal with curry sauce, and a share box is on the menu for ordering together. The takeaway opens daily, evenings only.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls come up most, and reviewers split sharply on them. One diner enjoyed the chicken ball box meal with curry sauce and called it very cheap, while others found the chicken balls burnt and dry, or so chewy they struggled to finish them. Close behind, the vegan and veggie options earn praise, including vegan salt and pepper chicken with chilli and garlic sauce and veggie spring rolls, and one reviewer says the kitchen handles a garlic and onion allergy well. Portions and value recur as positives, with a share box described as a lot of food for the money, though it goes soggy in delivery. Quality complaints are just as steady: a cold, chewy starter box with prawn toast that tasted of nothing, slimy noodles, curry like water, reheated or barely warm rice, and chips like cardboard. One reviewer describes a long wait that ended with the driver unable to find the address, and the order refunded and cancelled after 11 at night.

“Chips like cardboard. Chicken balls were so chewy I didn’t think I could get through them; and not sure where the chicken actually was. Curry sauce repeated on me. Rice was clearly reheated. Bad Chinese. Avoid.”

“We had a dance competition at the weekend and decided we would just get a takeaway to take back to our hotel. Me and my wife both had the chicken ball box meal with curry sauce. It was very nice and also very cheap! I don’t think I’ve ever paid under £13 for a Chinese 😂 if we lived local we would definitely use again.”

“Our go-to Chinese, never had a complaint. They’re great with my wife’s garlic and onion allergy too”

“First time trying pagoda and it was absolutely beautiful. Had the vegan salt and pepper chicken, chilli and garlic sauce with fried rice and veggie spring rolls. Delivery was quick and food nice and hot. Will definitely be ordering again”

“After waiting around an hour and a half for this order, it took Uber to phone me and tell me that they couldn't find my address. I asked how, and they said they hadn't left the store yet, and didn't know how to type it into Google. After speaking with them and saying, if that's the case here's another address close by of a hotel, I'm sure they can find that and phone me for directions to my place from there. They said that's great let's do that. Then around 2 minutes later the order came through as refunded and cancelled, bearing in mind the time was past 11 by this point, where my options for any other meals were extremely limited due to their lack of care. Do not support these people, as they care little for you.”
