Forbidden City Restaurant

Please reopen soon! I know COVID forced you to close, but you serve the ONLY GF food I trust when dining out. Local celiacs need and miss you dearly!

So happy with my GF S&S chicken with rice and a spring roll. Amazing! Owner requests you don’t come and request GF on Fri or Sat nights, otherwise you might wait a good while for GF food. That reassured me they take making GF seriously because they stop what they’re doing to make safe GF food. Highly recommended. Delicious!!!

Daughter with Celiac - made waiter aware, and noted virtually everything could be GF. She ordered GF General Tso's and GF spring roll - it was very good, better as GF than many restaurant's regular version. We brought in our own GF soy sauce bottle; not sure if they had or could provide. Also brought her fortune cookie, knowing it had gluten, but if her brother wanted to open it for her for her fortune.

Almost anything available as GF. Excellent dinner. Staff was extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination.

The owner knows the ingredients of every dish. She will happily modify any dish for your dietary restrictions. For a long time, this was the only restaurant we felt safe to eat because we had so many restrictions.

My daughter LOVED this place! GF sweet and sour chicken w rice flour and spring rolls. Very knowledgeable staff and lots of options. Great find!

Probably our favorite gluten-free restaurant in the world. Such a special treat for our family!

Amazing food! The server was well educated and helped me pick perfect choices. Such a good meal!!!

A-mazing! These folks know what they are doing. Clean everything to make your GF meal! The waiter was terrific and very knowledgeable and helpful. There was no 2.50 up charge. That is coming when they do a new menu. For the extra work and care, it is totally worth it. Perfection!

AMAZING!!! I had General Tso's tofu, a spring roll, and Singapore-style Mai Fun. My husband had the General Tso's chicken and a spring roll... We completely over ate because it was so good! it was honestly the best General Tso's sauce I ever had!!

Awesome food. Waiter was amazing. Very pleased. My wife is gluten intolerant and loved it. Also, we didn't have a $2.50 charge for gluten free on the Saturday after Black Friday.

We love this place! It's so fun to have so many gluten free options and everything we've ever had has been yummy.

I really enjoyed the Gluten free choices many to chose from! Most favorite the spring rolls, and Chicken fried rice.

I used to love this place and ate there or got carry out at least twice a month--because the food is good and they will make some of their food gluten free. I no longer will be patronizing this restaurant. It is now charging $2.50 an order on the weekends to make the food gluten free. Note that in this instance, the substitutions for ingredients containing gluten are no more expensive than the other ingredients (unlike GF baking). The restaurant even noted "the additional time it takes" to make the food gluten free. That in itself tells me they're not making all of their food specifically for each order.

Learned of this place at the Celiac Group of Gettysburg PA. They are extremely gluten-free friendly. Go out of their way to ensure a safe eating experience. Very well informed. Apparently has a large celiac following.
