What User likes about Forbidden City Chinese Restaurant:
The 'take-out' service in this restaurant is excellent. The owner helped me select various dishes that would serve 8 people; adults and children. We listed everything two days before the event and set a time for food pick-up. There is a 10% discount on pick-up orders. When I walked into the restaurant for the food, I was greeted by the smiling owner carrying the bags to me that contained the order which was complete... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Forbidden City Chinese Restaurant:
For many years the hunan house was simply the best szhechuan and Cantonese in Hamilton. Tried a quick takeaway for the second time and it's ordinary, not bad but not worth the drive downtown. If anyone knows of a great Hamilton Chinese, please respond. View all feedback.

The Chinese restaurants in Hamilton have received mixed reviews recently. Hunan House used to be a local favorite, but has become ordinary. Forbidden City has declined in quality over the years, with complaints of dirty premises and lackluster food. While others have had negative experiences due to allergic reactions, some still appreciate the take-out service and generous portions offered by certain establishments. Despite the mixed reviews, loyal customers continue to support local Chinese restaurants in Hamilton for their consistent service and reliable food options.
