Pagoda Inn Restaurant - Lumby

Honestly we only wanted to check it out because we were curious because the reviews are very all over the place. Also just moved here in the spring and we love Chinese food so we ordered a bit of everything that we love. We thought it was expensive at first but after eating our food and being full faster than we expected and it lasting three meals over all for people that have big appetites, we enjoyed it so much. We love Chinese food but it doesn't always sit well, especially all of the ones in Vernon. Which upset us a bit but having this last night is smelt amazing when we picked it up and they also were super friendly! (She gave us a box for our order so the bags didn't break. Also never made us sick at all!!! Plus I'm super deathly allergic to tomatoes and before I was badly allergic to that I used to love sweet and sour pork but all of Vernon locations and most Chinese food restaurants use all tomato based sauce for sweet and sour pork. So I was super excited when we were told that nothing from what we ordered had tomatoes in it. I haven't been able to enjoy Chinese food for a long time and we will definitely be recommending this place for friends and family when they come to visit. Also the lemon chicken sauce tasted authentic and not like lemon syrup (like most places we loved it even more. Yes it may seem pricey too a lot of people based on what we saw on the reviews but you're definitely paying for the quality of food and it makes you feel more full too which shouldn't matter too much if it's so delicious too. Also did I mention it's MSG Free!! This place is great, I hope more people try it and actually give it a shot.

Good food. But pricey Very out dated. But for Lumby it is good. I certainly enjoy it.

This place is a joke... don't go. Service is terrible, food portions are small. Would not recommend.

This place is not good! The buffet is a joke and they have almost no selection. They don't restock on the food even when they see it's getting low they let you wait. The price is high for what you get and the place is not up to date. I will not go back!

I ordered a Happy Family to see if the Chinese food tastes like it does normally. I can say that it does for the most part. The shrimp tasted like freezer burn (try not to order seafood from places that don 't get tons of traffic), the roast pork tasted cheap, but the chicken was fine. The veggies were plentiful and had variety, which was nice. The sauce was acceptable. What 's really a **** is that for a $14 dish, the rice didn 't come with it a $2 surcharge. I understand that I 'm in a remote location, but that 's like getting charged to add crust to a pizza.
