I’ve been ordering takeout from Forbidden City since 2017. The food is always ready very fast prior to my arrival for pickup... and service is always friendly. I’ve ordered an array of items from the menu such as Kung pao chicken, chicken fried rice,general tsos, and crispy shredded chicken/beef. Everything always tastes great. It’s the best takeout Chinese I’ve found inthe area. Definitely recommend supporting this local small business! Edit: I’m seeing other reviews that say the business wassold and renamed Hunan Express. I have not ordered since the change and am sad to hear the news. Read more

I love to find little 'hole in the wall' places that make good food. This is one of those. A very small operation. I think... they only have three tables inside. However, their mainstay is carryout and delivery. The food is plentiful and tasty. All ofthe typical American versions of Chinese food. It may actually be closer to the Chinese versions, however. Everyone who worksthere appears to be Chinese. That's certainly a 'plus'. Clean and inexpensive as well. Read more
