" This is definitely not your average Chinese takeout! I had the Kung Pao chicken, and it was delightful! It had a perfect mix of spices, perfectly cooked chicken, and fresh veggies. The staff greeted me with a smile, which definitely made a difference. I’m pleasantly surprised and will definitely return for more. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Forbidden City serves the type of food that I crave. Generous portions, bold flavors, and all at a great price! However, I wish they had some outdoor seating as that would elevate the experience. Overall, it’s reliable for those late night cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was extremely disappointed with my first order from Forbidden City. The egg rolls were so hard I could barely bite through them! I mentioned my issue to the staff, but they seemed dismissive. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. There are better options in the area, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've frequented this place since it first opened, and the quality always impresses me. The crab rangoon is simply the best! I appreciate that the owner remembers me and often makes recommendations based on my tastes. It's a gem in our community, although I wish they had dine-in options as that atmosphere is lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high hopes for this restaurant given its reputation, but my experience was lackluster. I ordered the lemon chicken which was bland and seemingly microwaved. Sadly, I don't see myself returning anytime soon. The service didn't feel welcoming either. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give Forbidden City a shot after hearing about their longevity in the community. To be honest, I had some mixed feelings. I ordered the soy sauce chicken and found it slightly overcooked and a bit dry. The staff was polite but could have been quicker on the service. I've tasted much better, but perhaps my dish was a one-off. I might try again but will definitely explore some other places first. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently, I had the pleasure of trying Forbidden City and I must say it was a delightful experience! The General Tso's chicken had the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, and the fried rice was fresh and flavorful. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure our experience was enjoyable. As someone who has tried many Chinese restaurants, I can confidently say that this place has some of the best flavors around. I’ll certainly be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
