This place hasn't changed much in 30 years, that being said, the food is just as delicious as it was then. The sizzle rice soup is my favorite! Great service and amazing food!

Great food, good prices. I can't speak to the ambience because I walked in grab my food and went. What I can say is my food was ready fast! It was very hot and you could tell it was fresh. I like that they have weekly/daily specials and I was surprised to see that they serve alcohol. It's not fancy, it's decent Americanized Chinese food. The portions are very generous .

This is the best Chinese food in Michigan. The sizzling rice soup and egg rolls are wonderfully delicious. Every main dish we've had has been great. The wait staff is good and reliable. The hot tea is always a nice tough as well.

Really good old school Chinese restaurant. From what I understand, I didn't get the full effect of the sizzling ruce soup, based on the large party I was with. Really enjoyed it. Different than anything I've had. The crab and cheese wontons were standard. They were good- not mind blowing. No complaints. I had the mandarin chicken with fried rice. Similar to a General Tzo's. Once again good. No complaints. The fried rice seemed like an old school Chinese take out fried rice. Really enjoyed it. I had a taste of the shrimp and soap peas and the sweet and sour shrimp. Both were great. Really enjoyed my visit here.

We hadn't been to Forbidden City in years and decided to give it another try tonight- so glad we did! My family used to come here when I was a little girl. I'm 37 now and the restaurant is still the same. I love the decor: the dark red leather booths, the Chinese zodiac calendars, and even the dishes bring back great memories. My son and I both ordered the sizzling rice soup. We took our first bites and we're so happy- it was delicious. The flavors were amazing and we loved all the veggies and crunchy rice. I ordered the moo goo gi pan and my son got the general Tso chicken. Both dishes were great and exactly what we wanted. Veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked and sauces were flavorful. Our waitress was friendly and fast and brought us to go containers for our leftovers. We paid at the front desk and they were friendly too. Definitely plan on coming back more often!

Very tasty, and with good service. The price of the meal didn't match what I expected, but overall it was a good experience.

Tbh it is difficult to find a good Chinese place in Saginaw. But the service was good, the food came out fast, and everything was pretty tasty! I didn't get to taste any of the authentic Chinese food because it was Sunday and they don't cook the authentic Chinese menu on Sundays. But everything else was pretty classic Chinese takeout food.
