Come savor a yummy dish at Forbidden City Restaurant. This restaurant serves chow mein and wonton soup for 11$ to 25$. Their atmosphere has been described as casual. They are reachable by public transit and car. The neighboring area is memorable for its restaurants and stores.
The hot and sour soup was exceptional. It was well stocked with chicken, shrimps and other items. It was nice and spicy.
The rest of the items were good, with the exception of the Po bo Szechuan chicken dish. I believe that is irrelevant here since any Szechuan dish that we ordered would have been similar.
Whenever I order a Szechuan dish, I would expect it to be very spicy. Out of a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being bland and 10, I have a huge fire in my mouth, the chicken dish was 1. No more. I was very disappointed, kind of like ordering peppers and mushrooms on a pizza and not arriving.
Otherwise, the dish was just ok. It really could have used more of the scant chicken pieces that we received. I give the meal, 7 out of 10.
While the restaurant itself is OK, I tend to order out far more often than eat in. In my opinion, this is the only chinese food restaurant for delivery. Food arrives quickly, hot and the portions are quite large. The staff are quite willing to adjust the menu for personal taste. Undoubtedly the best spring rolls and egg rolls in the city.
I don't know why anyone would say that Forbidden City has poor service and terrible food. I for one love the establishment. The service is excellent, they can't bring the soup fast enough .When I am there the food is always hot, I repeat always hot and the staff is friendly and accomodating.
The restaurant is not usually very busy and I simply enjoy eating there.
I would reccomend it highly.
