Forum Dynasty

We came to grab takeout for dinner, drawn in by the good reviews.The restaurant was clean, the service was good. We felt welcomed and we could smell delicious aromas.Our chow mein was sticky and soggy and didn't taste fresh. Our pork fried rice was also not fresh. In fact, everything we ordered did not taste or look like it was freshly made. We could also smell it.We got leftovers. Won't be back.

I was free Wheeling around Manteca and I came across Forum Dynasty!!!I thought I would give them a try for Dinner.So I rolled up and parked my Whip right in front . Forum Dynasty has plenty of Parking because they are located in a Strip-mall!!!Warning they do Charge a 4 Per Cent Fee for Credit Card Transactions!!!!!I rolled in like a Boss and was Greeted and Seated and Presented with a Table and a Menu.I Perused their Menu and Ordered a Combination Meal A .Combination Meal A Consists Of Soup of the Day --- Egg Drop Fried Rice Chow Mein Sweet and Sour Pork And 2 Fried Prawns !!5 Minutes Later my Food was Served to me Piping Hot!!!!It was pretty tasty!!!My only Complaint was the Portion Sizes was very small!!!!!I mentioned it to the Owner !!Service was Enthusiastic and Helpful!!!Decor was Old School Chinese Restaurant lol!!!This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!

I haven't had the chance to frequent this restaurant as I did in 2015 and 2016. However, the Steamed Filet of Sole is just as good as it was, regardless of the change in ownership.This would be a 3.29 mile walk and bus service is so-so. Finally, for Lunar New Year, I was craving fish and I decided this was a better choice than going to Lathrop, just because I might end up walking home, which I did.I was greeted almost immediately, and given the freedom to choose a table, I happened upon one that had recently been used. The host/server ran for a towel and cleaned it. I told her to relax. It wasn't an emergency.I looked at the menu, after ordering iced tea, and could barely make out the words. What's worse, there isn't any Chinese writing, and it's more difficult to understand the recipes and ingredients without that. Still, I found my way to the item I wanted, and the server asked if I wanted the Filet of Sole Fried or Steamed. I wanted it Steamed. After a minute and talking with someone else back toward the kitchen, she asked if I wanted rice.I think it's a silly question as to whether I wanted rice. I'm Japanese and I wasn't ordering noodles, so of course, I wanted rice. (I also had to ask for chopsticks.)After another moment, she brought the iced tea and what seemed to be hot and sour soup. So, the tea was fine and the hot and sour soup was not spicy, nor was it sour. It had a good flavor, but I'm just not sure what it was supposed to be.When the main course arrived, I felt such positivity. It didn't matter about anything else just then. The manager started to bring me a plate, but I didn't need one since I wasn't sharing the fish with anyone else.It was just as I remembered, thankfully. This is what I want every Lunar New Year.May the restaurant be prosperous.

Ordered takeout for a large group, upon arriving the bill was more than quoted over the phone due to paying with a credit card. Frustrating since it was a large order. In my personal business we give a discount for cash rather than up charge for credit.

This is great lil gem in Manteca. Been living in Valley for 6 yrs from Bay Area & we were Never able to find an authentic Chinese food near by that is good, UNTIL tonight:) it's The Cleanest Chinese restaurant I've ever seen & both waitresses were absolutely friendly & made us feel very welcomed:) The beef egg foo young was off the hook!!! Sooooo fresh & yummy shrimp fried rice, chicken w/green beans also heavenly :) the sugar white cake brought me back to China town vibes in Oakland sooooo darn good I tell ya! This is now our favorite place to go. If I could give it 10 stars I would......aloha, J

I honestly really liked the atmosphere, the dining, and the food..... the cups were the only thing i questioned while eating..... I don't know how sanitary reuse-able plastic cups are..... until we were leaving..... I looked in my plastic cup, which I thought they brought from their kitchen cabinets at home and I saw a tiny fly or mosquito in my water. I guess I couldn't see past the ice. The waiter was really nice, good customer service. I do want to come back but mannn I wish there wasn't a fly in my drink.

Food is amazing, service is good, the restaurant is small and has been here forever but we love it

I have been going to this place with my family for about 20 years. I love the family environment here. The food is always super good and they deliver! A classic Chinese restaurant. I love their tea

Went looking for Raley's and found this authentic American Chinese restaurant that Patric and his wife have owned for 29 years. They make everything fresh.Brings back all of the memories of eating in SF Chinatown with my family.

Thank you Forum Dynasty!!!Omg since moving to Manteca from San Jose earlier this year my wife and I have been looking for our go to Chinese restaurant. After being disappointed a few times we finally found our spot. Not only did the restaurant take my order before they opened on a Sunday, the food was fantastic. We will absolutely be coming back very soon!!(Also the owners were very nice and accommodating 100%!!)
