Pagoda - Sharpes

First impression walking in here I was confused where I was, then saw many people being seated to a private area with reservations, the host then handed me a small menu with some dim sum items and various fried rice dishes and a few other items he said there was no cook available to make the main dishes so it would have to be this limited menu this was on a Saturday night at dinner time. The restaurant itself is a very unique place and was like going back in time I would recommend to come here for drinks or just to experience the uniqueness at least once it would be a fun place for some cocktails or something. The food here on the other hand is not so great. Ordered Hawaiian fried rice and fried rice showed up in a spam can with spam in it and was not good, they do have spam fried rice on the menu so somebody messed up my order, shrimp har gao(dumplings) had mushy shrimp in it had to spit it out and didn't finish it not to mention the dumplings had no taste just the taste of steamed chlorinated water, ordered some pork buns but quickly canceled it, the salt and pepper shrimp was not bad but still lacking in flavor, it was fresh and that was a plus. My server was great and food came out quickly, I guess they are having problems with having a full time cook if they would make improvements to the food this would be a cool place to visit.

Went in to try this place they are only open for aps. That's like five small items.

Didn’t realize the restaurant has a limited menu, no meals. Went for dinner. Private bar in the back was booked. No customers in the restaurant. Here’s a thought: dim the lights and make the whole place the hidden tiki temple, reservations only.

After 1 1/2 hours, we still hadn't received our 2nd plate of food for a table of 2 on the regular restaurant side. I had to complain to the hostess, who had the kitchen prepare our last plate. I ate my entire meal, while my companion sat there with nothing to eat. What a miserable experience! They didn't even comp the last plate. $15 plate, cost should be $4.50. That showed me that they don't care about maintaining customer satisfaction. I told the host and hostess, shame on them! As a repeat customer, I paid the $100 tab, tipped only $10, normally tip $30, and I won't ever go back. That's what the $4.50 cost this restaurant! Again, shame on you!! So disappointing! After posting, I decided to edit my review. We love this place! The food is always awesome, and I really enjoy our server Peggy. We got our 2nd plate togo, and it was as good as always! We'll be back, I just feel like you really missed the mark tonight! Hopefully, our next visit will be better.

This restaurant is more hipe than it is worth. The receptionist did not have any business being the first person you meet when entering this restaurant, we should have turned around and left right there and then because it did not get any better. Before we entered the section of the restaurant that we were going to, the waitress gave us the lecture as to how many of their “Zombies” drinks we could have which was two and then went on to say that the rest of the drinks were at her discretion when to cut us off. I have to say there were four of us of which the youngest person is age 40 and the oldest was age 65, so we are not young people that need to be briefed on how much we can drink, what a turn off. This was our 2nd chance to leave and we did not, big big mistake. The waitress did not get any better, she took our drink orders and our appetizer orders and she did not help make our visit inviting and joyful. It was as if she did not want to be there. We ordered the “Zombie” drinks and what a disappointment, it would have taken us 4-5 of those drinks to get us drunk and we are not regular hardcore drinkers. We order some other drinks that were suppose to be exotic drinks and still disappointed. Just no flavor. As for the food, well you can get better food at the Panda Express, just mediocre. The atmosphere and the staff just did not help themselves any, the waitress took our main menu request and after a while she came over to check on us and asked if we needed anything and I asked if we would be getting our orders soon and she said what orders, I then repeated what we ordered and mentioned to her that she wrote it down on her paper pad which she quickly checked just to confirm to us that she forgot to put in the order. I must add there was not a huge crowd at this establishment. We also had to ask where our 2nd round of drinks were at, which she found and then quickly blamed the bar tender for not telling her the drinks were ready. Their menu was extremely limited, everything they offered was on one narrow page. Absolutely incredible!!! I do not recommend this restaurant at all!! $175.00 dollars later and we decided to leave. If you plan to spend this much money go to the Green Papaya, I can assure you will get way more than your money’s worth, as their drinks, food and service are phenomenal!!!! And without the “Do not drink too much” lecture. I suggest the owner and his staff all go to the Green Papaya and experience how clients should be treated.
