Pagoda Inn in Dartford

My favorite Chinese takeaway in Dartford by far! The food is always delicious, and the staff are lovely and friendly every time. Highly recommend!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely raw and uncooked, and the taste was horrible. I ordered prawns and noodles with duck, and it was a complete disaster. There was a feather on the duck fried chunks, which was so disgusting. I will never buy anything from this restaurant ever again. Highly do not recommend!

Always the best food. i have been a customer for many years, and the food quality has never disappointed.

Having had a few disappointing chinese's of late we thought we would try here based on the many good reviews. Delivery was around 15min later than expected but the food was well worth the small wait, piping hot, generous sized portions & everything ordered was delicious, could not fault this place & definitely have our new go to chinese. Also, the staff we spoke to were lovely, can't wait to sample other dishes.

Fantastic!! So pleased to see these guys arrive!! The food is so good!! They are always friendly! There are very good at taking the order! Up to our fifth time!! This is our only choice!! Only problem is they now know where we live!! I would say restaurant quality food in your own home! Really cannot praise them enough!!😂🕉😂mark

If you want good Chinese go there, staff are friendly.

Never had bad food from here. Staff always friendly and efficient. Shop always busy but never a long wait. Be prepared as cash only!

The best Chinese in Dartford, I have tried them all.

Great good, brilliant prices and very quick service! Would recommend to anyone.

Friendly and helpful chatty staff (owner) , having just changed employment, I now work nearby and decided to try them ! The hot and sour soup is prob one of the best I have had in years …… and Singapore rice noodles beautiful too , not greasy and very tasty ! I even went back today ( the day after as soon as it opened for another hot and sour soup and mini spring rolls ! This is now I feel going to be a ragioar haunt for lunch x

We spent just under £40 on food and it was absolutely incredible!! The taste of all the dishes was delicious, we cant recommend them enough!!! Arrived nice and hot 🔥 delivery was very quick and the service was friendly. Definitely one of the best Chinese deliveries in DARTFORD!!!!🥣🥢

Delicious! Super friendly service too :)

Very quick service. however the beef and black bean sauce was very poor; the sauce was tasteless and watery, the beef was cooked from a joint and so was thin strips of beef, rather than large chunks of beef. Satay chicken sauce was concentrated and very powdery. Not for me again

Our favourite local takeaway, food is delicious.

Have been using the Pagoda Inn for years and the food has always been great .... until last night. Mixed starter was reduced in number of items, no sauce on spare ribs and tiny amount of sauce on the satay, seaweed was chewy. The main dishes were also well below standard, special chow mein was almost devoid of any meat. Overall the food lacked flavour. It's not particularly cheap so I expect better. Perhaps the normal chef had an off day but won't be returning any time soon to test it out.

The best Chinese takeaway in town!

Regularly use this takeaway - food quality & service are unmatched in Dartford. Can’t recommend them highly enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reliable, quick & delicious food - we have been coming to Pagoda Inn for years and years - and we will keep coming back!! I've never experienced a Chinese with better quality food than Pagoda Inn. The service is always quick & the staff are dependable and friendly. Really varied menu so plenty of options for the whole family - thank you to Pagoda Inn for so many years of dedicated service in the local area (and all the hundreds of tasty dishes!!)

Best Chinese in the area! Amazing service & top quality food. Pagoda Inn is always our go to for a lovely Chinese.

Called them 20 times no answer I call when open 8pm

Rotten chips slimey beef veg and watery tasteless Singapore noodles came back to the shop the following day as my order was right before they shut the night before, was laughed at by the female owner when requesting an apology and or my money back was told she can’t do nothing as I should have bought the food back in with me I’m not quite sure who would leave rotting food on their worktops over night?! Even tho I showed her photos I had taken ! She lacked any form of sympathy or compassion and had zero customer skills! Also they haven’t had a hygiene inspection for nearly 3 years very very worrying! Very disappointed as was my first time trying this restaurant will stick to golden city from now on ! Also was extremely hostile towards me from the get go an in her response here on Google reviews she states I was hostile I do have full video footage... And I’d love to know what she would like me to say other than collection for Dee hand the money into her hand and await change and politely say Thankyou not once was money put down on any counter what lies ..I clearly had to wait for my change! I would love to know what was odd about this what would this woman like me to to give her a kiss and a hug an bow down on one knee I should imagine...please people avoid this food late at night or last orders clearly the scraps as she is very obviously money hungry ! This woman she cannot take constructive criticism red flags for narcissistic tendencies AVOID

Lovely staff, great food, good experience. The only problem is that you have to pay for your meal with cash. Would have eaten more if we were closer to a cash point, but what we had was delicious.

Good food and pleasant staff. I ordered in person and the food was ready in about 15 minutes. NOTE they do NOT take cards

Used them for years and food is delicious!

Very nice Chinese only fault was the chicken balls were very tiny and greasy other than it was lovely 7/10

Pricier than other takeaways in the area but worth the extra money. The food is always amazing and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Only let down for me is that their Sweet and Sour Balls are not very good, the batter is just not the same as most other places.

Best Chinese, never go anywhere else, would rather not have chinese than order elsewhere. Never had a bad meal and been using 10 years +

Very tasteless and disappointing found a hair in my food tonight, it’s always be that finds them puts me right off Dishes had no kick to them, batter on the prawn balls were so bland.

Lovely food and on time. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic food no matter what the day of the week.

Order from here every week, never had a bad meal. Food is always fresh. You do wait sometimes when calling but it is never long. They are just popular which is a good sign.

The best food but can never get through on the phone to pre-order/deliver so rarely go there now for that reason alone

Best chinese takeaway in Dartford! Superb food and nice staff. Try it!

It was busy tonight, food was good as usual no complaints

Its not the cheapest but the portion sizes are bigger and they never fail on taste and quality.

I'm puzzled by the plethora of five star reviews. It was noticing these on Google that made me try this place for a change. Crispy duck and pancakes came ready shredded, obviously done in advance and reheated, No crisp skin, quite flabby in fact - and a very modest portion that barely eked out into the six pancakes. Truly the worst I have ever been served anywhere. King prawns in satay sauce? Prawns in a thin brown gravy containing many chunks of pineapple, peppers and raw tomato with not the slightest hint of peanut, peculiar. Other dishes more as expected but I won't be returning.

Great food every time our favourite take away

We've tried a fair few Chinese takeaways in the area. And Pagoda Inn are by far the best. Everything we have is always so tasty, can't fault them and friendly staff 😊

Been a loyal customer for many years have tried almost all of the other Chinese restaurants in the area over the years and nothing compares to them. Fair prices great portions and friendly staff 👍

Our number one for a great cheeky Chinese 😜 Good portion sizes and always hot and very tasty. Highly recommend!

Very nice chinese takeaway I had tonight from Pagoda Inn first time testing out the food from this chinese takeaway shop and was lovely and delicious and tasty food

Awesome Chinese. Best I've tried in dartford. It says a lot when you struggle to get through to them to order despite them not being on any delivery platform...they are so popular they don't need other platforms. But do bear this in mind when ordering as sometimes it can be a long-ish wait so allow for it. Again, I see this as a positive overall that they're so in demand. Satisfied customer every time!!

Amazing customer service, the women at the desk was soo lovely she even bought my food out to my car, the salt and pepper prawns were delicious hot and fresh 10/10

always get ours here ,deliveries are always hot when arrived, staff friendly and polite

Excellent food, good to portions, good service, slightly pricey.

Excellent little Chinese takeaway , a pearl amongst an ocean of pebbles. Food is great,portions are good , service very efficient and on time for collection. So glad it's near me.

Best Chinese food in the area! They can get really busy and it’s sometimes difficult to get through, however this just shows how good it is (remaining so busy despite not being on deliveroo etc) plus it’s worth the wait!

Superb food, everytime. Highly recommend their Singapore noodles. Friendly staff and delivery drivers.

Lovely friendly staff, good service and good food.

Cash only ! Really ? We are through the pandemic, and I can see this takeaway is on board taking precautions to avoid the spread Covid-19. Greedy takeaway . Will never be using it again

Friendly staff and nice food that's reasonably priced.

Can’t even be bothered to pick up their phone during their opening hours.

I agree with all other reviews.. the best Chinese around Dartford.. honey ribs where delicious as well as all the other bits we ordered. Big thumbs up!👍.

Best Chinese take away in the area.

Really good Chinese,i only use this or golden place now

In my opinion one of the best Chinese takeaways in Dartford

Food good but let down by the foreign Lithuanian/Polish female delivery driver who thought that my coal cupboard was my front door which made delivery late. As dopey as it is possible to be. Would have been 5 stars if not for the moronic delivering.

The best Chinese food in England! .. Congratulations Tami, you are the best🙂

I have tried all of the chinese take-aways in the area and this is by far the best. Good and tasty portions, not too greasy and great service!

Absolutely gorgeous! the best Chinese by far I live just outside of dartford and my self and my partner are willing to travel because it's so good .definitely worth a visit

Very polite people food excellent every time 10 out of 10👍

Great food and chicken is never dry

Delicious Chinese at reasonable price.

A very nice Chinese with freshly prepared food Usual food you would expect from a Chinese takeaway Premises seem clean and tidy and prices are reasonable It can get busy at times but then again who wants to get food from a Chinese that's never busy! Staff pleasent and efficient Worth a try if in the area

Best Chinese around by far, always good food friendly and polite staff
