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 D5. General Tso's Chicken 左宗鸡 and Cheese Rangoon (5) 炸馄饨 order that I get here frequently is my favorite in the area; I literally drive from Olympia to get this when I'm craving it. Best rangoons I've had in the state, personally. Portions of the General Tso's are huge and I've never been disappointed in the quality.
Everyone's taste is different but I've tried many different places trying to find a Chinese place that compares to my favorite restaurant on the East coast and Forbidden City is it.

Amazing food, very high quality food I have been ordering for a few years now and Forbidden city has never disappointed me the portions sizes are great and there's always left overs for my family of 5. The garlic vegetables are one of my favs as well as the fried rice it's super simple but very flavorful and delicious

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! 👍

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.

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.
