Ok, so up front, I don't love everything on the menu here, lots of dishes are very similar to food court Chinese food, but their spring rolls are the best I've ever had! They're clearly hand rolled, and stuffed full of fresh veggies and juicy shrimp. They were a bit greasy, but they are deep friend y'all, there's gonna be some grease, and it wasn't enough to trouble me. They were so flavourful, and came with a great lemon dipping sauce. They are more than worth your money! Also, they have a great lunch special for under $10 that has about a dozen options, and comes quick. Not gourmet by any means, but hits the spot when you want some cheap Chinese food.

Really the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had.. I don’t normally review but I had to on this one. Everything tasted watered down.. it tastes like they don’t care how they’re food tastes. Cooking time and delivery time was excellent - which makes sense as obviously zero effort was put into the food.

Terrible restaurant. Tried it for the first time and wanted to eat in but it was an extra charge instead of take out.... So i decided to order my food for take out. I ordered a general tso chicken but I'm 100% sure I got sweet and sour, or some kind of sweet chili sauce, I tried telling the waitress but she was lying to me and telling me it was general tso chicken thinking that I won't know the difference... also, their spring roll tasted old I ended up having a stomach ache afterwards. I am never going to this restaurant again and I definitely do not recommend it. Bad service and bad food.

The most disgusting chinese food I have ever had. Breaded shrimp hard as a rock and greasy. Egg rolls were so greasy and over cooked I could literally see grease running off when I picked it up

Will never eat here again! None of the food we order even remotely tasted like ‘Chinese food’ , the order was cold, didn’t get all that we ordered, I could live with all of that... However today when I went to get some left overs, I was scooping out the rice , and there was a long black hair in the rice. I have blonde hair and my boyfriend has short hair so obviously it came from the restaurant. Forbidden city has gone down hill.
