First, our poor waitress forgot my soup and when she returned with it, it tasted straight up like beef broth. Second, the sushi were bland and mine had cooked salmon that was all dark salmon.

But the biggest issue was my son's "bridge" or whatever wooden structure his sushi was on, had mold. We were 1/2 into our sushi when she brought out the vegetable tempera that we requested as an appetizer. It was flavorless as well. 3 people, 3 lunches and 1tea and $65 later a lesson learned. We need a new sushi house. Like all young people they did not want me to complain.

I ordered the spicy umami miso ramen with tofu, karaage, and a soft-boiled egg, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, comforting, and full of flavor.

It's a hidden gem tucked into a shopping center and easy to miss from the main road, but there's plenty of parking and once you're inside it's much more spacious than it looks. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything came out fresh. Prices were very reasonable too, especially for the portion sizes and quality. There's also a wide menu beyond ramen, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more. Before leaving, I grabbed a brown sugar boba milk tea too. I was already full, so I saved it for later--but even then, it was still really good. Overall, a great first experience--I'll definitely be returning!

I loved the Salmon Teriyaki and the Shrimp Tempura. For a Lunch Special, you get a pretty decent amount of food, I definitely wasn't able to finish it all. I wish I lived closer to this location because I would grab lunch from here pretty often. Lunch is served from 11:30am - 2:30pm and for $20, you definitely can't beat it! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

Pros: quality of fish compared to many other sushi places around…read more Cons: small cramped space, service and menu We arrived around 1245 and immediately told the older gentleman that we would be a party of 5 (we were waiting on 2 more people). Immediately I could tell he seemed a little annoyed that we were waiting for the rest of our party. In fairness, I would've understood if the place was full but there was only one other party of about 5-6 people and one other person seated by herself. We waited about 10 minutes before the other 2 in our party arrived. In the meantime, we were looking at the menu which was very overwhelming. As we waited, the place filled up fast. They sat a party of 2 right next to us and there had to have been a max of 3" separating our tables. When it was time to order, the server (older gentleman) seemed annoyed that we had questions about the menu. He was very impatient but the noticeable thing was that he was not that way with any of the other patrons. He was joking with them and just being overall friendly and helpful. How do I know? Because the place is that small. And I noticed every interaction he was having. At first I thought it was just me but I assure you it wasn't. So we ordered à la carte sushi as well as a few bento box lunch specials. When the female server (older lady) brought the first order of rolls, she placed it in the middle of the table and when one member of our party (my niece) said 'oh that goes over here' pointing to the area where she and her husband were, the server said 'oh it's all for you' and then proceeded to pull the little serving plates off our table. My niece had to tell her that we would be using the plates - and just like the gentleman she gave us a little attitude and looked annoyed. Did we order a lot of food? Yes. Were we hungry? Yes. Did we eat almost all of it? Again, yes. The only time they changed their tune was after they gave us the bill which was almost $300. They seemed a little less annoyed. We paid and left. My wife enjoyed the freshness of the fish and when I mentioned what I noticed she said 'you felt that too?' I did and I told her that that would be our last time ever eating at there. I would gladly patronize a place with better customer service even if the quality wasn't the best. And no it's not a cultural thing because the servers clearly could be friendly - I saw it with my own two eyes. They just chose who they wanted to be friendly with and provide better service to. Thanks but no thanks - I'll take my business elsewhere.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The food was no better than your neighborhood Chinese restaurant but you would think they're serving great Chinese cuisine for the prices they charge. Perhaps they think they can because they opened where Forbidden City used to be. I went in hoping it would be similar and lo and behold, the menus were almost identical to what I remember Forbidden City's being. I asked if the owners were still around as I heard they had retired and was told try weren't there. I was told "its the same restaurant" "are they here? id like to say thanks for opening back up" "they're not here right now" I was so disappointed when the potstickers were completely different to start. I went in in a Tuesday and apparently, no sushi on Tuesday? Tuesday!? What the heck!!?? That's like going into a pizza parlor and then telling you calzones aren't available Wednesdays. The entrees were a flop as well. On a final note, and why I'd give zero stars, is that I went grocery shopping at Harris Teeter next door after dinner and talked with the cashier about how disappointed I was that forbidden City closed and when they changed to Forbidden Palace the food sucked, he said no, it was a completely different restaurant. He saw the family that used to own Forbidden City regularly and they definitely retired but they were still in all the time as their daughter took over the space and opened up an American restaurant with some local chef. I had a go mind to go back and tell the people of the Palace off for omitting the fact that the reason the Forbidden City owners "weren't here" was that they didn't actually own it any more!! I did call both restaurants to confirm what the cashier said. I guess I have a new restaurant to try. You know how I love local businesses!! read more

I stopped in for dinner over the weekend with some friends and had an excellent meal. The place looks brand new the food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I used to go to Forbidden City which was next door and was very disappointed when it closed. Turns out that some of the employees opened up Forbidden Palace in the old Smackwater Jack location. The menu is almost the same and they said the cooks are all the same as well. The four of us ordered and shared everything between us so we could get a good sample. Not a bad dish in the lot! If I didn't know better I would swear I was at Forbidden City. I ordered the General Chicken as that was one of my favorites in the past and was a little disappointed when they told me they had changed the recipe. Boy was I wrong! The new General Chicken was awesome! It has more flavor and a little bit of a spicy kick to it. The original was a lot sweeter but I really enjoyed the new version. My friends all enjoyed the meal and all three plan to bring their family back. So glad to have good Chinese back in the area. Bob S. read more

I recently discovered Forbidden Palace, an exceptional Asian restaurant in South Hampton Roads. As someone who has lived in this area for 15 years after moving from Massachusetts, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food, which reminded me of the Asian cuisine back home. Their menu is extensive and offers a variety of Asian cuisines, including Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Filipino, Szechuan, and American Style. It's evident that they serve freshly prepared, high-quality food and not reheated leftovers. The ambiance is relaxing and perfect for a casual dinner date or a night out. They have a full bar too. Although their prices are higher than the average fast-food Chinese restaurant, their serving portions are generous and worth the price. Overall, I highly recommend Forbidden Palace. It's my new favorite! read more

Yeesh. And I was going to feel bad leaving a bad review here, I guess I'm not alone!! The people who left rave reviews must be either family (judging by the number of reviews posted by people with only 1 review) or employees. The staff is nice enough but the owners make the place really awkward. They kept hounding us as to wether or not we liked everything and when we complained about the cold veggies, he never came back and actually walked away from the host stand as we were leaving. Rude much!? We had the general's chicken, broccoli cold, chicken gristly and the triple happiness (I think it was called) and the sauce was not thickened right and was actually like jello in some places. We won't be back. read more

We used to be regular customers of the old Forbidden City restaurant and were saddened to see it close. We just had dinner at the new Forbidden Palace and really enjoyed it.
