Weather most foul in Lower Hutt. Icy rain falling 'sideways'…read more! Hot lunch for two, we spied the Forbidden City. Quintessential mom n pop Chinese restaurant, 'northern' cuisine, says google reviews (nada on yelp, maybe we FIRST?) Cantonese lingo coming from a loud ladies' table as we we entered the welcoming warmth at 2pm, Not busy, 3 tables out of twenty occupied with food / people. Seated quickly, no staff as yet. 7 minutes past the hour, a teenaged young woman staffer appears: 'place a take away order' ? "We are closing". hmmm. I related how cold we were, and ascertained that in fact 2 : 30 was 'closing time, and could we dine in, please if it suited the kitchen? (I'll find out, she says, no Cantonese spoken it's all in Kiwi English). It IS ok, Menus arrive, we quickly order rice noodles chicken fried which came out quickly. Delicious, flavoursome example of Chinese fried noodles, decent quantity balanced, enough protein, crunchy sprouts, green onion, slight taste of the hot wok / fire = competency in the Cuisine Chinois genre. Four+ star dish Clearly chef KNOWS how ! No offer of HOT tea ! No condiments, chili oil, we found that ourselves. We asked for HOT pot of tea when food arrived, it was NOT monitored for top up boiling water. Entrusting one's business to most teenagers IS risky in our experience. CAN be all right, but in most cases, THEIR agendas, and what's good for biz are mutually exclusive. Pleased with the quality of our edibles, we paid, ( +4 bucks for the tea), braved the wicked weather and set off for the parked car on Queens St, Lower Hutt. As 1st Yelp reviewer, I'd like to be kind to this family business, but fairness dictates 'no cheer leading', just relate the ACTUAL experience. Food was 4.0, as was tea when it got there. Tidiness / comfort of dining room is a 3. Value is a 3.5 Service / attitude below par earns a 1.5. We love mom n pop stores and seek them out. THIS one could be VERY good IF front of house professional hospitality was present. Over all 3.0 on the yelpmeter. pics will follow

The star rating is predicated on the fact that Wellington just doesn't have much selection of…read morereally good dim sum/yum cha restaurants. On the one hand you have Grand Century, which is mediocre at best with not much variety. There are also the other Asian-fusion type places like Ancestral where there's just as much SE Asian influences. For variety, freshness and taste I'd give Majestic 4 stars. I wish there were more traditional items like braised chicken feet or steamed/braised mixed offal or sticky rice with chicken wrapped in lotus leaves or even jellyfish salad. However, this place does a good job to satisfy the dim sum craving whenever I have them (and I have them a lot).

Service was a tad slow here but picked up as more people started sitting at the bar. We ordered the following: -combo platter (summer rolls, peppered squid, krishna pakhora, three cheese naan, and SFC) - all items were pretty good and my favorite was the krishna pakhora vegetables and SFC chicken which is surprising since these are usually not my favorite meats/veggies -firecracker slider - friends said it was very spicy and I had to try it. This was the right amount of spicy for me and I wish I had ordered it as my main -nasi goreng - good amount of meat but not really extraordinary -lamb curry - good, doesn't come with rice but my partner just ate it as is since he's allergic -krakatoa fire bowl - love the fire element to the drink and it was tasty and didn't taste very alcoholic (even though it's made of a lot of liquors) but it's pricey -bartender's choice - THIS is what I would 100% come back for and surprisingly very affordable. I told them that I like whiskey/bourbon and love yuzu citrus (the more citrusy the better) and they made me a drink that tasted amazing! According to my friends, the food has less spice now compared to when they've had it previously. Overall, I would come back here at least for the drinks and the firecracker chicken.
