Forbidden City

They were all yummy. (*pork rib photo is showing only half portion of the food as I took a photo in the middle of eating.) Foods were all good but the service was the problem i would say. Pork rib in sweet & sour with citron sauce was not available so a waiter came to let us know this and suggested the rib in strawberry sauce which was amazingly tasty. However, vege did not come until i finish half of the rib. No one was looking after my table until i asked 3 times about the dish. Also no one filled up my water even others' were filled up sometimes. I advised about the service when I paid and waiter really apologized to me and was happy to take my advices.

We were so disappointed with their chicken feet. The color isn’t right, the texture is firm (not falling off the bones easily). Most of the dish is layered by the firm (not soft) peanuts. Plus the price is considered premium for a person came from Toronto. $7.25 for that chicken feet is awful. The other dim sum was okay, not too impressive. Except for the congee, the congee is very good.

I have always enjoyed coming here for Dim Sum. It is definitely packed on a Saturday with very little social distancing, so be aware. We ordered: Steamed Chicken Feet - Our first time trying them, very good. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Oddly served with lotus leaf around the edge but not actually contained inside of the leaf for you to unwrap, but still very tasty. BBQ Pork Steamed Buns - Packed with meat and abalone gravy, so good. Hong Kong Style Eggplant - Very flavourful deep fried eggplant with lots of chilies. Shrimp Shumai Dumplings - Rich and packed with shrimp and pork. Chinese Donut Crepe - Always great with the soft texture outside and crispy donut within. The peanut and soya sauces really make this a treat, but it is certainly filling! It does often take a bit of time to get your order picked up and delivered, but if you're enjoying a long visit it is no bother to you at all. Reasonably priced, as well.

Our FIRST time at FORBIDDEN CITY but definitely not our last! We had great service and the food was delicious! Each item was very flavorful and we loved the fish maw soup! • We had a fantastic dinner and tried so many tasty dishes especially this Lobster & Cream Noodle dish!! We also tried these menu items: * Fresh Crab Meat & Fish Maw Soup * Peking Duck * Lobster with Cream & Butter Sauce on top of Crispy Noodle * Spare Ribs with Strawberry Sauce * Stir Fried Ling Cod Fillet with Vegetable & Mushroom * Mushroom and Greens with Special Egg Yolk Sauce * Dried Scallop & Tobiko Fried Rice Def get the milk tea too!!

I was craving cream sauce lobster noodles so decided to give Forbidden City a go since I haven’t been there in over 10 years. It was quiet on a Friday night so social distancing was not an issue and the tables are spaced far apart. Food was good (especially the noodles 😋) though a little on the pricey side. Would go back to try their dim sum and other dishes.
