Years ago, I lived in Westminster and this was my family’s go to for Chinese food. While recently in the area, we decided to dine in - which was nice as we always ordered carry out in the past! Service was fast. Food portions were HUGE and you could get several meals out of one. The food was just as good as it was years ago. Pork fried rice was delicious and had a lot of additions. General Tso was great - quality chicken and it wasn’t overly spicy. Glad we decided to dine in while in town! Highly recommend. They do a ton of carry out orders!
The meal was excellent! I used to reside in Westminster, and my preferred Chinese restaurant had unfortunately closed. I contacted my sister to inquire about her recommendations, and she suggested Forbidden City. When I called to place my order, it was approximately 30 minutes before closing time. It is generally understood that it is not ideal to visit an establishment so close to closing, as service industry employees work diligently and still have tasks to complete after hours. Despite feeling a bit hesitant, I decided to proceed with my order. I requested my favorite American Chinese dish. They thoughtfully informed me that it was prepared Cantonese style, which I appreciated as it prevented any potential misunderstanding about receiving an incorrect order. While I personally did not f
Food looked good, nice presentation. Not very tasty. Pretty bland. The waiter made us clean our table by asking for used dishes to be passed to him. That is not Restaurant etiquette! I was Sooo turned off. We will not be Returning
I know a lot of folks love Forbidden City, partially cause they have been around a long time..the service was great, very attentive staff but I will say that the good could be better. There are nicer Asian restaurants in Westminster and I think I would gravitate to them for what I find to be more authentic and tasty meals. The atmosphere was a little loud.
My wife and I are visiting Westminster MD on an extended weekend getaway. This was our second experience at Forbidden City Chinese Restaurant. The staff are very welcoming, professional and attentive; excellent service!! Each time my wife ordered Shrimp and Broccoli - every ingredient was fresh and the shrimp are large. Each time I ordered shrimp egg foo young (Cantonese Style) - that is the twist…. very savory gravy and loaded with vegetables and flavor! Each time I compliment the meal with Asian Plum Wine (very cold) and my wife has a glass of Merlot. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Westminster MD.
