White cloth napkins and tablecloths
DESCRIPTION: We enjoyed an early Sunday dinner (7/28). Cleanliness could be improved a bit, but overall quite a pleasant experience. The food appears to be freshly prepared and well spiced. Each room is nicely decorated.

Sit down Chinese in Clearwater
DESCRIPTION: After moving from Chicago finding a good chinese restaurant was next to impossible. Forbidden City is the next best thing, with decent food and traditional decor.

Don't be fooled by nice decor, there's a reason it's dark in there.
DESCRIPTION: You ever go to a old uncles's house who always has the lights down low in his house? He's trying hard to hide the piles of newspapers and half eaten sandwiches lying next to the pleather lazy-boy. Hey, welcome to Forbidden City where the lights are low so you can't see what you're eating; they are probably hoping you won't be able to taste it either. The gaudy Chinese artwork and tacky tableclothes are all part of the ruse, folks! DISTRACTION. The food here sucks. I won't even go into the service. FYI - I went on a Saturday night.

Excellent
DESCRIPTION: I have been going to the Emerald Coast for the past year, and I have never found a better Vhinese buffet. They are by far the best in town. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good food.

Grand Buffet
DESCRIPTION: The sign outside says "Grand Buffet" and they are not kidding! Over 60 selections at the buffet table will make anyone happy. The food was fresh and well prepared. Choose from pork, chicken, beef, or seafood dishes. Dinner buffet included crab legs.
