Pagoda Chinese Thai Food - El Segundo

I absolutely crave their Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. I always choose shrimp for both dishes! They prepare the food quickly, and the prices are excellent for the portion sizes. The owners are incredibly friendly too.

I got food poisoning right before work; it was the first thing I ate today.

We were in the mood for Chinese food, and that's exactly what we got. We ordered shrimp in lobster sauce, and it was quite good. However, the Egg Foo Young was different from the Chinese pancakes I'm accustomed to; it turned out to be a messy, saucy dish. Overall, it was an interesting experience.

The cook/owner is sweet and kind. The server/husband is the complete opposite. Great food. Nasty service.

Chinese and Thai takeout. Friendly guy serving. Limited basic seating, it's not a restaurant (think more Panda Express) so the 5-stars I'm giving are just for food, price and service over venue. We had the Chicken Pad Thai, it was delicious and large portion size. $13 after tax but enough for 2 or 3 lunches. Parking: Small corner strip mall, so free parking but limited spaces in busy periods.
