Reviews of Forbidden City Oriental Restaurant

S. F.

Probably the best chinese all you can eat, best part is that it's made to order not buffet style. The waiters could have been better though, and we tried two beef main courses and the beef tasted funny had a bit of a smell. However all the other dishes were great!

G. P.

Have been coming here for 15 years now, food is always great. But what really made it tonight was the lovely young man who served us, all of the female servers were quite abrupt and not very welcoming (they kept lingering right by the side of the table whilst we were eating). But he was really friendly and amazing as a whole. The card machine was broken so we had to get cash out and had to use most of the cash we had so wasn’t able to give him the tip he deserved!

C. C.

Decent but not the best Chinese dining in Surrey. There are more authentic choices around but Forbidden City is a good local choice.

E. T.

Wonderful food! Excellent service!

T. S.

Great food with an attentive team! The choices for appetisers and mains on the "all you can eat" menu enables you to try new flavours and dishes. Arrived hungry on a Sunday and felt satisfied leaving...always a treat going to Forbidden City...Oh a great atmosphere as well!

G. S.

Excellent friendly service. Advised we may have to wait as the there was large party but there were no delays at all. Food really fresh, tasty, and tender meats. Will visit again

L.

The quality of the food here is exceptional! There is a wide range of starters and main courses which are all amazing and they do the best chicken chow mein! Always an enjoyable experience and the staff are always friendly and prompt in their response. Thank you so much!

S. S.

Great host and delicious food-well worth a visit!

S. N.

Food came out hot and was delicious 10/10

K. N.

Wonderful Chinese restaurant. True authentic china cuisine from various parts of South East Asia. Lovely menu of great dishes. Cooked to perfection. Staff courteous and professional. Swift table service. Restaurant has a simple Chinese theme but is cozy and comfortable. Prices are reasonable for such a wonderful experience. Fell in love with this place....totally smitten 😍 All good here, and recommended. Wish all Chinese restaurants were half as good as this. A pleasure to dine here and will certainly return soon. ☺

K. L.

Love the way their food is cooked. Having the option to choose dishes as you go along is great.Good to see they stop serving you if dishes are not being finished. Saves unnecessary waste.

S. J.

Food was good, they cater for the allergies including gluten and dairy ( as the owner's daughter suffers with both these allergies) We normally do the take out, but decided to eat at the restaurant. They do a buffet menu which is made fresh. Good concept for saving on wastage although, the main portions were very small so we had to order dishes a couple of times which took longer to arrive. Bazaar thing is they were not full (4 tables with 12 people total. The capacity of the restaurant is close to 2.5 to 3 times that). The service was slow for every one, but our conclusion is they wanted to fill us up on starters so not too many main dishes would be ordered. Even the cranberry juice tasted very watered down. For a couple having no alcohol, I found the bill of £50.00 very pricy. To top it off the waiter watched over me and was very keen to see how much I placed for the tip. That is not on! Love the food but next time we will do either the al carte menu or order a take away

s. w.

First time here i won a raffle and used a voucher against the meal total. Staff were great i really think this is top of my list of eat as much as you like. I travelled 20mins and it was well worth it will be returning.

A.

Food is incredible. It's the best value for money and best quality experience that I've ever had in Surrey. Service is fast and friendly. They cater well for small children and babies. 5 stars all day.

K. P.

Make sure that you free up at least two hours for this place, if you go as a group. The all you can eat is £20 and you receive great food at a snails pace. I'm telling you, the service is slow. Not only that, the amount of food you get is quite disappointing. So make sure you order double the amount you wanted

H. N.

This is quality Chinese buffet foods at affordable price: ingredients highly select for the price, food tastes good does not over salt or sugar like many other establishments.

J. W.

Food is delicious. Always hot and delivered in the time stated

l. H.

Tasty buffet style buffet - eat as much as you like. Pleasant staff and weren't kept waiting or rushed. My only criticism would be that some of the dishes had far too much onion in them. Decent value for money and allows you to try lots of different dishes.

A. L.

Good service nice food simple menu will go back. First time in a fixed price all you can eat reasturant.

A. H.

Really tasty food. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. My father is disabled and they were happy to seat us where we wanted. Would definitely go again

B.

Love FC we went on a recent Sunday for my birthday. Would have been a 5* review only the service was so slow on this occassion, with only two members of staff on waiting duties. We waited 1.5 hours between starters and second course. I hope this is a one off though as we travel from Hampshire to come here as the food is so nice.

R. M.

Hugely popular 'all-you-can-eat' Chinese restaurant serving the Woking area! Despite a fully booked busy evening service, the attention to our table was impressive and all the dishes that arrived appeared fresh and straight from the wok. The menu is strong with a good variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Better quality (for a similar price) than local competitors Tiang or Eastern Oriental.

J. J.

visited many occasions lovely food friendly staff

W. T.

This place is now ranking number 1 on our list of Chinese buffets in Surrey. The food quality and hygiene standards are way above par and the food itself is absolutely delicious! The only competitors that come close nearby are Saigon in Isleworth and Kim's kitchen in Staines. But Forbidden City is well worth the journey, satisfaction guaranteed!!!

K. A.

Service can be a little slow, but the food is amazing. You never feel rushed when you are here - great for a full night out, but not if you are on a tight timescale. Surprisingly they are quicker the more busy they are. Highly recommend the King Prawn in Spicy Plum Sauce.

O. W.

I have never had a bad meal here, and go quite often. The price has gone up slightly, but it is worth it as the quality is very good. Place is clean and tidy and the staff are very helpful. Only slight thing is on busier days they can sometimes be a bit slower, but this is of course to be expected.

L. B.

Very good Chinese Restaurant. Wonderful food. Located in Knaphill Village Woking. I have been many times. The restaurant is very comfortable and nice friendly staff to look after you. Quite expensive, but the food is worth it. You will always have a great meal there, when you go and visit them.

S. P.

One of my favourite restaurants. Such good clean food and really good value. Never had a bad meal and have been going there for years.

K. P.

Love the food here! Staff are always friendly nice atmosphere. We come here every couple of months, never had a bad experience.

K. U.

Normally, I complain about restaurant foods as I cook nice food at home. But on last Sunday, we had buffet at this restaurant I have to say, thank you very much for the nice starter andmain meal. Mainly the service was so quick

K. D.

Absolutely amazing food and fantastic value, what a little gem. Will definitely be back!

D. L.

Always delicious food. Lovely staff. Wish I could eat there all the time :) well worth the 50 min drive we do to get there!

d. p.

D. C.

Food is alright but mediocre. In this day and age, tastes are changing. Dishes are not as authentic as some other similar restaurants in Woking.

S. H.

Been here at least 10 times food is allways fresh hot and lovely the only bad point is the priceing for children since when was a 13 year old an adult also paying full price for a 2 year old that eats one prawn cracker apart from the children aspect i would reccomend to anyone

S. W.

Amazing restaurant. I have lost count the amount of times I have been here. Always busy, which is a sign of the great food.

J. E.

I've been back a number of times with my friends, fantastic food, great service and fair prices. Highly recommended.

O. v.

By far the best chinese i ever been too. Food so fresh and mango prawn is out of this world. I just cant wait to come back. You have to try this place.

B. C.

Service was really slow despite being quite empty. Don't be afraid to order lots of dishes or ask for double as the portions were really quite small.

D. S.

Good food and friendly staff. The only minus is the food is a little bland but they spice it up if you tell them you like it.

L. L.
