| - My favourite place for dim sum! Some of the best dim sum chefs reside here I'm telling you!
Although the price is in the mid-high range (pretty on par with other places), everything is made delicately and full of flavour, which is where I feel they've won me over. I've had dim sum at other places where the skin/wrap on items were too thick, too hard, too dry, or lacked just a bit in flavour. This is never the case at Forbidden City. The buns are soft, pastries are flaky, and the appearance of everything is very appetizing.
I really like that they change their dim sum specials every few months to give customers different choices from the traditional menu. Recently, I tried their new green tea custard bun and it was super creamy and delicious. The wait time on weekend and holidays are quite long though so go early or try to get a reservation. It can also be a bit hard to flag down someone for service depending on where you're sitting.
Dinner here is really good too. Although it's on the pricier side, the flavours are pretty good. Depending on what you order, the portion sizes might not be what you're expecting for the price paid. They're typically not as busy in the evening compared to lunch time, but maybe that's because we usually go a bit later.
