Pagoda Chinese Thai - Missoula

I didn’t think there was any good Chinese food in Missoula but I was wrong! So happy to find this place. Wish they had more seating inside but it’s great for pick up.

Ordered the Moo Shu Pork it used to be the best in town. Somewhere along the way the cook forgot what Hoison sauce is , which is a key ingredient for this dish (to put on the pancakes) They had some thin sauce that resembled sweet sour and it totally changed the taste and not in a good way. I wouldn’t even mind the higher costs were the food done correctly. Sadly, I’m not sure I’d order this again. We won’t speak of the 12” long hair in the orange chicken.

Food has gone downhill since new ownership. Chicken was dry, soup not the same. And ragoons fell apart with a mushy watery center.. Gave it more than one chance and very disappointed.

So, let me start with this. When this place is good. It is good. The only problem here is that Pagoda is VERY inconsistent. Some nights everything is perfect and tasty. Some nights the food is overdone and flavorless. We orderded last night and a new person took our order. We were told we cannot request a spice level for our dishes. Which we have been doing since we started eating here. Its always a bummer when we catch them on their off days. But lately their off days are out weighing the good days.

Quick stop with yummy food. Didn't expect to find good Asian good in Missoula, but I did!
