Superb
DESCRIPTION: The revival of the former restaurant with the same name and same owners in a new and spectacular location. Terrific cuisine, way above the average at an value price. This is "Gourmet Chinese" at its best. Cozy atmosphere, and superb food preparation/presentation and service. A place to take your "best girl" or maybe the boss. Reasonable but not cheap.

Excellent Food, Heavenly Dim Sum
DESCRIPTION: We were delighted to find authentic dim sum here while on vacation. We have eaten dim sum in New York City, Philly, San Francisco and Vancouver and this place is definitely a competitor for places you will find in those cities (and beats many of them for quality and for the number of items). It was so good we came everyday during the week we were here and we left with one large and two small coolers filled with dim sum. If you have never eaten dim sum, you really must try it - in a superior restaurant like Forbidden Cit
