This is a hole-in-the-wall place in Manteca. However it is a very homey and the food was great. I was very pleased since I requested something that was not on the menu. I decided that I would be a pain and requested if I could have noodles sautéed with bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu. There was no problem with this order (I have been to other places where the answer was simply "We cannot do that"). In addition to my request being fulfilled I was just as pleased with the food itself. I had requested the noodles be slightly fried and as well as the tofu. It came out and tasted just like I imagined it. They prices are very reasonable, for my custom dish came out to be $8 (which I took more than 2/3 back home since it was a fairly large serving). read more

Went here today. so much msg in fried rice couldn't eat it. Sweet and sour pork-all fat. Asked for hot tea. Smelled so strong of clorean I sent it back. Chow mein was okey. ‍ will not go back. read more

I love this place. They're so friendly. Yummy food. Quick service. Even when we walk in late they insist we sit down and enjoy rather then get it to go. We may just be VIP but they offer us to try new dishes as well. read more

I love this place. It has been run by the same owners for many years. They will make anything you want. They can customize all orders. I love the lunch plate with soup if you eat there. Such a great deal. I like to order take out. They have my order ready within 15 minutes which makes it better than many drive thru restaurants. I have been going to this place for over 20 years. I love it. read more

This is the best Chinese Restuarant in our town... Everything was freshly cooked, served super hot... Portions are very generous and the staff is very friendly, checked on us to make sure everything was good, good customs service. Resturant is very clean, seen a lot of people coming in & out for take out orders.. The nice thing is they had the Monday night game on which was also convenient for us not to rush home. read more

My dog didn't want it, I've been coming here since the late 80s for fresh wonderful food. This is not it. Rancid oil on fried green beans. I think soup sat in the pot with noodles all day. Inedible. Never again. read more

The food is plain. Service is good, and they have a wide menu but it's not the best tasting. read more

Excellent meal in a quaint little Chinese restaurant with the not so Chinese name. They have been in business for over 20 years. I started coming here ten years ago with my friend John Edwards. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It was worth the 15 minute drive to come for a birthday dinner. Lovely friendly attentive staff and owners. I highly recommend. read more

We were very tired and extremely hungry so it was nice that it was quick and did the trick... but nothing special. Very average. It was lacking something... they had lots of onions but not many veggies . This is the second time and still not impressed. read more

Great value. I love the egg foo young and mushu chicken. Those, fried rice and tea for 2 = $20. Nice! The service is great and it's very clean. read more

Pretty good food. Fast service for carry out. Friendly staff.

I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken. When it was delivered I didn't receive sweet and sour sauce, the Chicken was the size of a nickel and greasy and inedible. I substituted chow mein for rice and it was also greasy and sad noodles. Super disappointing and frustrating. read more

Amazing service, great prices. Awesome food. Big fans of this place. Bring my family here all the time.

My family decided to try this place out tonight because our normal go-to Chinese food place (Orchid Garden) is right next to the farmers market and had no available parking... This place was not great... Service was friendly (that's why they got two stars instead of one) but food was not good. Rice was overly dry, sweet and sour shrimp was good but orange chicken was not. It just didn't have a good flavor. The Mongolian beef was acceptable but not up to what I'm use to. We were hoping to land a great hidden gem but this place didn't do it. read more

This place has friendly people and food is served quickly. I love there cream cheese puffs.

SO GOOD! My husband and I have been searching for our new go-to Chinese food place for months and we would pass this place all the time when leaving Raley's. Last Friday, we decided to dine in to try it out instead of getting delivery and the food and service were great. We got there about 45 minutes before closing and didn't feel rushed at all. We got one of the dinner meals and pork buns for an appetizer. Next time we won't get an appetizer because the meal comes with egg rolls and soup before the main entrees. It seemed like we ate so much yet our waitress completely filled two takeout boxes full of food. They have four or five different dinner meal combinations and they're all under $30! We will definitely be trying each one! read more

So good! Everything we had was yummy. We ordered the Canton dinner specia and orange chicken. We will definitely be coming back.

Used to love this place. The only good thing they have is the siu mai dim sum and I had to say it twelve times and spell it and explain to the girl on the phone what it is. After she asked for help she still didn't know how to pronounce it. I normally love their shark fin dumpling too but last night it didn't smell or taste right. Mongolian beef was not as good as normal and the chicken in hot garlic sauce was disappointing. Don't think we'll be ordering from them again. read more

My wife has gluten allergies, so most Chinese Restaurants don't work for us. However the wonderful staff is more than happy to cook items gluten free when possible. Of coarse this doesn't include the whole menu, but some great items, like Chow fun... read more

Great service. Great fried rice and chow mein. Very good pricing compared to other Chinese food restaurants.

Am always looking for good Chinese food. Never been to this place before but will definitely go there again. The food was very good and hot. The service was fast and very efficient. My water glass was never empty. When we asked for separate checks the lady just smiled and said ok. Now that's what I call service with a smile. lol read more

This is good Chinese food. It gets 4 stars because we like it. It would get 5 if it was our favorite place. I love that they deliver. The Hawaiian bbq is awesome. We like there style of chow main, it doesn't have too many bean sprouts. They give big portions, you always have leftovers for the next day. read more

Delicious food and great service. Best Chinese food around. Quick service and very friendly. Highly recommended!

POT STICKERS chewy per Matt. Good portions (6 for apprx $5) & flavoring. Crispy on the bottom & chewy on top. Tastes freshly made. SALT & PEPPER SHRIMP crunchy & definitely salty with a bit of kick. If you're craving non-saucy food, this'd be a good choice. Eat the skin, tis part of the flavor. True asian, where's my shrimp head? THAT'S THE BEST PART! read more

We have tried every single Chinese delivery in Manteca and we keep coming back to this one. We love them! Their food is excellent and their delivery time is super quick. The only thing I would recommend is a "punch card" for frequent customers because we order from them on a weekly basis. If you are looking for the best Chinese food and delivery in Manteca, you have found the right place. read more

You know when you open a bag of dog food and that first whiff of air that comes out of the bag...that's what my so called Prawns in lobster sauce smelled like. And it tasted horrible! They tried to make it right by bringing out some sweet and sour chicken, which would have boosted the stars rating to 3 but still charged me for the dog food that was $10. If you want to make it right charge me for what I actually ate! The fried rice...drench it in soy sauce. And the service...after was fine until I refused to eat their dog food. They where totally ignoring my table. This is not the place... Spend your money elsewhere. $25 for bad service and terrible food, and I still tipped your sorry arses. read more

Forum Dynasty - Smells like dog food taste even worse $10 Prawns in lobster sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

In Lathrop/Manteca, I think this spot is the best tasting chinese food. Just to let you know, they use MSG when cooking. When you order tell them you want No MSG and you'll taste the difference. read more

I find Dynasty has great service and they make me feel like I'm part of the family. And the food is really great,to much but just enough for me next day lunch. read more

My favorite place to go for comfort food! I've been going here since I was little! However, I live in Tracy but since my dad started working in Manteca I always have him order it! The restaurant itself is really small but the service is really great! They always make sure our needs are taken care of before we even ask! The prices are pretty affordable and they give great portions! I would most definitely recommend the wor wonton soup and the salt and pepper pork! They never fail to satisfy my cravings :)! read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars because we were on our way home from Yosemite which means eating only canned food, top ramen, p&b sammies, and cup of noodles for the past 4 days so it's no wonder our short ribs in hawaiian sauce tasted heavenly. It's too bad that we got the short ribs though because they seemed to give us every piece that had absolutely no meat, but covered in fat. Next time I'm ordering the chicken. Oh yes, there will be a next time! read more

One of my favorite places to eat or pick up food for home. Staff is so friendly & food is always the best tasting. You can call & order & it will be ready when you arrive. We have been there for my Birthday and received star treatment. Such a wonderful place to eat. (~_*) read more

I have eaten here before and previously added a review which was mostly positive. It has been a while since I've had Forum and was very hungry upon my arrival on a slightly late dinner night out. Eight-thirtyish. I had Kung Poa, fried rice and chow mien; my wife had shrimp fried rice. The take-out was fast but on the way home my wife said that the shrimp smelled quite fishy and thought it was not a good choice.... ...My first bite was the chow mien which I shared with my wifey, upon which she gagged at the same time I took a bite of the noodles. I then gagged on the mushy mess. I then went on to the main coarse and it was okay but the rice was the worst fried rice I have had in a while. I was more like the one I make at home myself and plow through because it is just food when you're starving. Meanwhile, wifey kept picking through her rice, tossing the tiny little popcorn shrimp aside while twisting her nose like Samantha on Bewitched trying to make them disappear. She finally succumbed to the smell and shoved the full plate of rice in the garbage. I felt horrible and slowly closed my take-out plate and dumped it in the garbage. We decided that I will not talk her into getting take-out anything from Forum Dynasty ever again. read more

Always wonderful food and family business. They are so nice always and generous portions... Family or take out a must... Thank you forum! I'll always come back read more

I'm still in search of decent Chinese food in Manteca. This place has bland food. I didn't like the Mongolian beef... way too much hoisin sauce. read more

I loove this place! Very friendly staff, the main reason I love this place is the cheese puffs/ rangoons. They are they best I've tasted anywhere! 5 ***** for that alone. When I go here I order them and chicken chow mein, my daughter likes the broccoli beef and my husband, the potstickers. They make their own sauce too. Awesome job! read more

Ate there for a birthday. We got the hot and sour soup... The meat in the soup was rancid. It was the nastiest tasting thing I've ever put in my mouth. Not edible at all. One of the members of my group actually gagged... Very gross. The rest of the food was flavorless and soggy...Service was good but the food is bad enough to take any good qualities away from this place.. Please save your money and go to Hong Kong Cafe on Main Street! That place is soooo good! read more

Love their Chinese food. The prices are reasonable, good food, and the staff are friendly. My only complaint is the sweet and sour soup is extremely hot. Make sure you blow on soup to help cool it down before you put it your mouth or let the soup settle for a couple of minutes before consuming it. Otherwise, enjoy! read more

So gross never eating there again. The orange chicken tasted weird. Also bad service never made eye contact.

Don't eat here! Save your money. This place is awful. I went with my mom and my cousin and as soon and they were standing around rushing us to order. We saw a couple sitting near us and they had a full plate of freshly made food and when we got served it was absolute garbage and was definitely from the previous day. The portion size is the smallest I've ever been served at a restaurant. Bathroom isn't a full bathroom they also use it as a storage room. read more
