We ordered $45 worth of food Beef & Broccoli with $2.00 added meat 2 large orders and LINDA the Asian owner said she would give us 2 dinners another time since THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE RICE FOR 2 ORDERS IN THE BAG. NO RICE AT ALL. So when we called today to place the same order she completely changed her story and said we only get the RICE free! I said first it wasn't free. We paid for it and they failed to put the rice in the bag. Now shes saying she only giving us 2 small white rice and hung up on me. We have been getting food from there at least 5 or 6 times and the way she treated me was so rude and even hung up on me. Im sorry but when you're paying $45 for 2 meals with no rice I personally couldn't eat it so now shes changing the story that only free small rice is owed to us. What a way to compensate a valued loyal customer. Especially hanging up on my face. It's not really close and we we're going back out to pick it up and she should've kept her word to owe us 2 dinners. We'll never go here again. And we found black hair 2 pieces in our food the second time we ordered from them. Never again! read more

We ate here one time and will never go back. Food was tasteless, overcooked veggies and egg rolls were greasy. The interior leaves much to be desired as well. read more

the customer service is terrible, calling me and harassing me for a messed up pick order & the food nasty af anyway.!! don't spend your money.!!! read more

Honestly, I love the food. Finally a good fast Chinese place in the area! I will say however this had me on the toilet all the next day. Lol still enjoyed the food though. read more

Everything was as expected except for the spring rolls. They were a little flavorless. Nothing stood out. This was just a pickup order so I can't comment on the service other than to say it was ready and hot. No idea what the interior is like as a dining area. read more

NO NO NO!! This is not meat!!! When we walked in and there was nobody here and they looked at us like we walked in the wrong door we should have walked right back out. The soy sauce bottle on the table needs to be cleaned or better yet thrown away!!! read more

Forbidden City - Garlic sauce "chicken". This is horribly freezer burnt and smells terrible not to mention not very chicken like. - Chinese Near Me - Red Lion, Pennsylvania

We have tried out a few Chinese restaurants/delivery places in the area and this is the best. They do not provide a delivery service, but it's worth picking up. The staff are always friendly and the food is always made quickly (typically about 15 minutes). I enjoy their soups a lot. This is one of the first places that doesn't have stale fortune cookies which I'm happy about. The portion sizes are huge so we have left overs for a couple of meals which is great. They also offer free beverages when you order over a certain amount. I would recommend them to others. read more

Forbidden City - a plate of noodles and fried egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Red Lion, Pennsylvania

The food was fresh and delicious. Large portions at a great price. Great service. Very pleased about taking a chance and stopping in for some Chinese food for dinner. They don't skimp on meat! Yum. read more

Forbidden City - Boneless ribs. Yummy! - Chinese Near Me - Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Best chinese in the area. I haven't had anything from their menu that disappointed. My favorite is szechuan chicken; chicken with a variety of veggies in a brown sauce. Soooo good. Then when you are done, you can dump your fried rice in the leftover sauce for yet more yumminess :) It's tough to decide though what I want when I go; the szechuan chicken, hot & spicy beef, black pepper chicken, kung-po chicken or mongolian beef. Those are my go-to dishes. Each one is awesome! read more

Was in the neighborhood and decided to stop and get some food to take home for dinner. We chose beef lo mein, vegetable fried rice, and string beans. Everything was fresh, tasted delicious. Young lady that waited on us was very nice. Found out my friends at York Eye Associates enjoy food from this place as well read more

Favorite Food here is General Tsos Chicken, its chicken tastes fresh and sauce is thick and a bit spicy. I just got takeout today with my family and it tastes great. Would reccomend to others. read more

Great staff and food. The buffet is always fresh since they only put small amounts at a time. The place is clean and easy to get in and out of since they share the lot with Giant Food. Giant also has Chinese but not nearly as fresh. They also have Thai food, but I haven't tried it yet. read more

I'd have to say that this is the best Chinese food in the area. I always order takeout but they're extremely friendly on the phone. The lunch specials they have are awesome. You get so much food for $6 and some change! Which is great for me, since I try to save money, and I have leftovers for later as well. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone that lives in the area and is looking for a good Chinese place because sometimes they're hard to come by. read more

Have not been here in many years. Maybe I know why... It is 7pm on a Saturday. We are the only customers here. Buffet is full of dried and shriveled food. Not very tasty or appetizing. Probably should have walked out but I was too darn hungry. Probably okay early in the evening but I did not think it would be this bad on a Saturday evening. Will I return? Given the other known options that are good in they area, probably not. Maybe someone on here can convince me otherwise. Sad thing, I have had better week old left overs and first generation military MREs. Even some 20 year old C rations as a kid were tastier. read more

We like most of their food but I have noticed lately everything works well when the girl is at the desk but not so good if the guy is there. He gave me egg rolls that were just saturated with oil running down my arm and on my clothing. She must put them on something to dry up the oil. Yesterday he didn't throw fortune cookies into my bag. She always does. If this continues there are other place close by. read more

Great Chinese restaurant in the area, food is great. The only reason I give it 4 stars, is they are closed on Tuesdays and they don't offer delivery. It would be great if they offered curbside pick up for us moms with wild children in the car. read more

Personally, I love this place. The black pepper chicken is excellent. The lady that rings us up is very friendly and patient. We have never gotten anything bad. Give it a try and if you don't like it, go somewhere else. But if you do like it, you found a nice place. read more

I frequent Forbidden City on Saturdays for lunch. The food is always o.k. to good. The price is great. I like that they bring out small portions of food at a time. This is by no means the best Chinese food around, but, most things are tasty and you can fill your belly on-the-cheap. read more

the mom is cold and stand offish....just like her egg foo young....if you liike greasy noodles and heartburn this is your spot.

We ordered lunch off of the menu since there were no other customers and don't know how long the food was sitting there. We tried the lunch serving of sesame chicken, which was fabulous, as well as the hot and spicy shrimp, which had 4 nice sized and delicious shrimp. The hot and sour shrimp was excellent as was the pork fries rice. read more

Solid Chinese restaurant. Ordered the sweet and sour chicken which was very good. Restaurant was quiet (Sunday evening). May be a better place for take out or a quick bite. read more

Good food and large portions if ordered as takeout. My family loves this place and the staff are always very nice. I like that they are not typically busy in evenings since they close the buffet after lunch and we can eat in peace. Always willing to give this local restaurant my business! read more

Good food...counter girl is a tiger cougar dipped in black bean sauce....grrrr...hi linda.

We stopped in here because we were in a hurry (had to get to the high school for something), and we figured it would be fast because it was advertising itself as a buffet place. Thought we could walk in, get settled, and hit the buffet quickly, and get out. Better than fast food options (Wendy's or McDonald's) that were nearby. But we were wrong. Only 1 other party in the place (a couple), and the buffet was virtually non-existent. They had a couple of egg rolls sitting there, with a couple of other appetizers. No main entrees at all. And what was there looked like it had been there for 8 hours or so (all dried up & pathetic looking). I asked the waitress about it, and she replied that if we told her what we would like, she would go back and have the kitchen make some up fresh for the buffet. I tried to explain that we really did not have time for that, otherwise we would just order off the menu. She did not seem to understand the situation, so we basically just left. If you have the time to wait for food preparation, then this is probably a really good deal. You can have them make everything that you want to order, and pay for buffet pricing. Order 5 meals, and pay for 1. Not a good deal for the restaurant, but if that is how they want to operate their buffet, that's their choice. And maybe their food is really good - don't know as we did not have time to eat there. read more

This is my favorite Chinese food place in York. Now that being said I only like their carry out I do not like the buffet think it's over priced for the size. But the carry out food is always super good very hot and have never had a bad experience. There are several other places much closer to me but I drive here every time as I think they are a cut above the rest. read more
