What People Are Saying About Forbidden City
The Editor

In Short – The owner of El Cid and the Larchmont transformed this former banquet hall into a versatile nightspot. Dining rooms are dressed in racy crimson and the Capital Records building towers over a spacious patio. A basic Chinese-American menu starts with crispy spring rolls and breaded shrimp in portions large enough to share. Entrees are dominated by rice and noodle dishes, like kung pao chicken chock-full of bell peppers and onions; beef chow mein; and house-specialty pineapple fried rice.

Saturday Rock Hollywood
by jennydds
We were there this past Saturday night celebrating a birthday party for one of the girls. I didn't expect much from the club , but to my surprise the club was really jumping off. The music was great and the people were nice. The staff was wonderful , we had bottle service and our host took care of us like no other. I really would recommend this place to anyone wanting to party at a nice spot in hollywood.

IN THE HEART OF HOLLYWOOD
by JerryBiv
Forbidden City - One of LA's hottest nightspots with great entertainment, excellent but reasonably priced Asian food and gorgeous, eyecatching decor. The dining room has a distinctly Oriental vibe going, but the lounge is all modern, with cozy booths and plasma TV screens. Afterhours, the dining room is tranformed into a dancefloor. Should you make it into the mezzanine VIP area, you'll get a kick out of the retractable roof, which allows you to stargaze in more ways than one on warm nights. Even if you're just a normal guy or gal, you can enjoy great views of the nearby Capitol Records building from the patio.

The Next Big Thing In Hollywood
by Jennygoldman
Me and my friends have been hearing alot of things about the renovation of the forbidden City nightclub. We hope that this place will rock like the way it was a couple of years ago. I know for a fact that hollywood and Vine is going to be the next big spot to party and be seen. Can't wait to see what it's going to look like after the face lift. We are in desperate need of a new spot on hollywood and Vine.
