    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.

    We hadn't been to Forbidden City in a few years. We decided to give it another try because we were right around the corner. This was by far the worst sesame chicken and orange chicken we have ever had. The sesame was like shoe leather. It was harder to eat than beef jerky. The orange chicken was off and tasted awful. For $18 an entree, it should have been better. We will go to China Inn or drive to Littlestown from now on.
