Forbidden City brings the favors within the walls to your table, with the Grilled Fish (kao yu) and Forbidden Pot as featured items, followed with various classics of fried rice, soup, noodles, Szechu…
The portions are generous, definitely enough for a couple meals. The beef and D3. Beef with String Bean 四季豆牛 is always super tender and comes with a lot of meat. I get it probably a couple times a month.

本楼特色炒饭 wow so yumy! They over filled the container! Tastes amazing clean doesn'ttaste like they used old oil to make it ihave ordered here before and will order again. Reminds me of the fried rice iused to get at the Mandarin Chinese restaurant that is long gone was on broadway in Tacoma. Im glad I found this place. If your reading this and ordering try the Mongolian beef and the beef with string beans and of course 本楼特色炒饭 the house special fried rice you wont be disappointed

The food came in nice shopping bag and the food was hot and tasty. I have never had Shao Mai (6) 烧麦 and it was delicious. I am only Sad that my Kung Pao Chicken 宫保鸡 wasn't Spicy like I ordered.
I will definitely order again.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was hot and fresh, especially the vegetables. Good quantity of food for family meal as it fed 3 people and have leftovers for tomorrow. 10/10 for local Chinese takeout! 👍

Beef and greens Beef with String Beans 四季豆牛 is excellent. Lots of tender beef and flavorful. The pork Roast Pork Fried Rice 叉烧炒饭 is really good. Sesame Chicken 芝麻鸡 is good too. The potstickers were not cooked long enough and a bit oily. And they gave us ketchup packets instead of the traditional Chinese bbq sauce. But other then those two things the food was great. Will definitely order again from there just won't get the potstickers. I can do without the Chinese barbecue sauce. It's not a dealbreaker or maybe they just run out and threw catchup packets in there I don't know, but this is a great restaurant. Definitely try it.
