Forbidden City - Virginia Beach, VA
Forbidden City in Virginia Beach is by no way forbidden for Vegetarians. They have a nice selection of vegetarian dim sum and vegetarian entrees such as General’s Tofu, Ma Po Tofu, and Sesame Tofu.
We came during lunchtime on a Saturday and it wasn’t very busy at all. The atmosphere is nice and the booths are very private with curtains draped at the ends. I ended up ordering Sesame Tofu with Vegetable Gao on the side. The Sesame Tofu was delicious while the Vegetable Gao (for me) wasn’t as tasty. I don’t really like mushrooms and the Vegetable Gao had a very strong mushroom taste. I didn’t try this but my friend had the Curry Samosas (which the waitress assured us had no meat) and they said it was delicious.
Prices are fairly reasonable with $6.75 for a lunch entrée. I would definitely recommend Forbidden City for vegetarian Chinese food.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is not a “fast food” chinese restaurant. It’s very classy, the servers speak good english and they use high quality ingredients. At least it tastes like they do.
