Very disappointed! We ordered the Imperial Family Dinner for 6. The egg rolls full of soggy fillers and tasted like they were fried in old dirty grease. The Mongolian Beef was tough and the meat tasted rancid. The other dishes lacked fresh vegetables, looked like they had been reheated many times. The Moo Shoo Pork was meatless. The crepes should have been served with a damp towel in a covered dish. The crepes were served on a plate and immediately were cool and brittle. The won-tons were bland, overcooked to the point there was no cheese inside.
The rice was soggy.
When the food was served, it was already lukewarm. And the round table we sat at was so wobbly we could barely rest our arms on the table without spilling drinks. One redeeming note was our server, Casey. She was friendly and entertaining. But the greeter didn't bother to smile, make eye contact and simply pointed to our room.
Our family has been coming here for over 40 years with a tradition of birthday celebrations. We were here on a Wednesday early evening. There was only one other table of guests. The kitchen obviously was not busy.

WAY overpriced, for mediocre Chinese food. Bland, low in flavor. $50 for 2 meals, 2 egg rolls and crab rangoon. Will never go back to this place. Trash. Anyone who thinks this is good Chinese for, I feel sorry for your taste buds.

I had Mongolian Beef and Spicy Soup, both of which were adequate.

The waitress was really nice and attentive, it wasn't busy at all inside so it was nice and quiet.

Forbidden city, Chinese restaurant is hands-down, the best Chinese food in the Tri-City area. The food is very authentic, gourmet and affordable. Most importantly, the food is delicious.

I highly recommend checking out my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Takeout is also excellent.

We came here yesterday and I we are usually not even people who complain much. We usually just eat what we get and appreciate it and I tell you this was the worst and I mean worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I will absolutely never go back there’s nothing anybody can say to make this place good or make us try it again We tried 3 different dishes and they were all disgusting. I will never absolutely never go back here. Not even for free. Thats how serious I am

Forbidden City has existed for 50 years. It was once the top upscale Asian food location in the area. Now it is a tired location in a run down plaza with mediocre food and indifferemt service. Sad times.
