I was excited to see they had general shrimp on the menu. I ordered it and it tasted a little freezer burnt. I sent it back and got chicken instead. The manager was accommodating and I appreciate that. I would recommend this place, seems like a nice vibe.

We went today for Mother’s Day and the experience was horrific. The waitress couldn’t understand our orders. She ordered the wrong meal for one person and because the service was so horrible he canceled his order. The lumpia appetizer came with the dinner order and the volcano roll however the other sushi roll came before the meal. Then it took her 15 minutes to bring the sauce for the lumpia. She was missing a fried rice and finally brought that back after checking the order she took and counting the ones at the table. The fried rice was a $5.50 up charge which was ridiculous and it was not good. The orange chicken was tuff. Today was just awful! Mainly due to the waitress. We eat here often but today which was supposed to be a nice meal for our moms turned horrible. Highly unusual for a Forbiddin Palace experience.

There was a funny smell when we got in, the booth where we were seated were dirty and oily yet we still gave it a chance. I don’t recommend the egg roll/lumpia at all, the inside were really hard and taste like its been reheated multiple times.

Let me start by saying the food was incredible, the service was great, and the decors is very cool. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because their SEO has them listed as a buffet. They show up as the number 1 buffet in the area. THIS IS NOT A BUFFET!!!! My kids were starving and just needed something quick with no wait. By the time we got out the car and inside to see there was no buffet, it was too late for me to get them back in their car seats before meltdowns of epic proportions began. So it was frustrating that this was not actually a buffet. I saw after that other people had the same complaint. If they removed buffet from their SEO I would change my review to 5 stars. Now for the food, everything was great. The lomein was probably the best I’ve ever had. The fried rice was excellent. Everything was great. Great vegetarian selection.

The cooked food is very good. It’s surprisingly very fresh and homemade-esque. The sushi seemed to take a while even though there was a lot of wait staff because it appeared there were only two people making food. My husband and I love sushi. About 2/3rd of the menu is sushi, but we didn’t like the sushi or my usual favorite - shrimp tempura. The egg rolls are huge. The rice extremely generous portions. We have a whole other meal for two as leftovers. The service was great. All of the staff was. They have robots delivering food and there are 2 or 3 gliding around with cute animated faces. The place was busy and everyone was enjoying their food. The ambiance is as in their photos. I’m attaching pics of the food. Sorry we ate some first!
