Order Food in tawa

I always look forward to visiting Yan’s during my trips, and it has become a cherished tradition for me. The Asian food at the cafeteria is simply outstanding! Whether I’m craving a flavorful stir-fry or some delicious dumplings, Yan’s never disappoints. The freshness and authenticity of the dishes really stand out, making each visit a delightful culinary experience. What I love most is the vibrant atmosphere and the friendly staff who always greet me with a warm smile. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a meal before I continue with my day. After savoring my food, I usually spend some time shopping at the nearby stores. There’s such a great variety of shops that I can always find something special to take back home to Whanganui. For me, Yan’s is not just a meal; it’s a part of my travel routine. I always make sure it’s the last stop before I head back home, as it wraps up my trip on a high note. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Yan’s for a delicious meal and a fun shopping experience! You won’t regret it!

Had the chicken curry last night after the market and it was absolutely divine. 💯 🤤 the chicken was perfectly cooked, pulled apart beautifully, everything was full of flavour and it was beautifully presented. If six stars was a thing, that's what I'd have left. Amazing! Thank you guys, I've just finished the leftovers for my lunch and I feel alive again!

My second visit. Last time was Turkish coffee, apple tea and an excellent not-to-sweet baklava. This time lunch was meze platter and lamb shish. Great flavoursome lamb, loved the stuffed vine leaves, and found my new favourite beetroot dip. The only issue is that there is a lot of salt in some foods, e.g. the zucchini fritters we bought for a 1 year old. We appreciated the atmosphere, decor and our alcove in the window. Staff are very good, again.

I order fish & chips from here when Linden Fish and Chips shop is closed. The food here is solid and hits the spot. Other than F&C I've tried the won ton soup, shrimp fried rice & chicken wings and they all tasted good.

This restaurant has giving me a great curiosity and challenged me to have a lunch here: 1. Why someone named a restaurant a FORBIDDEN CITY? It's very COOL like a movie title, but it's not. 2. It have a neon sign when open, even in the afternoon. It's weird but interesting for me! 3. the interior was not very inviting but at the same time very authentic?? 4. And then.. Serving an authentic chinese peking duck as a recommended menu?? 5. Some of the so-called Halal food wasn't leave a good impressions but okay I give it a try. I came with my wife on her birthday because she's craving peking duck from a long time, and we growing curiosity in this restaurant together. We ordered Roasted duck and Corn soup. The soup arrived first. My impressions is positive. The flavour was balanced. When you put some soy sauce and chilli oil, it hits different!! It was very perfect because we eating when outside is rainy so it warm our mouth, head and body. The roasted pecking duck became our "main course", along with the rice. We are very overwhelmed with the flavour. It's juicy, delicious, crispy skin... We could never want anything more than this!! The last bite still feel it's was first bite.. What an experience. When we finished and wanna pay, I never expected this: they selling the chilli oil!! Chilli oil here is very mandatory and never skip this on every meals here. Forbidden City is a proof that your restaurant doesn't have to be a gimmicky interior and striking sign to be a good restaurant. The name itself, the food, is enough reason to you why you should stop here and go home with the stuffed stomach. Very recommended.
