Why Travelers Love Forest Gump
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Restaurant located on 2nd floor. Tried many dishes. Rating, name for each dish. 3.5/5 Yu tou Kao Rou (pork & yam) melt in your mouth pork, strong flavor profile. 5/5 Yu tou si (Sliced yam) balanced & light. 5/5 Pi jou you (Beer fish) lightly spiced, rich but not over powering. 4/5 Xiao chou rou (beef) blend of ingredients that make it work, spicy. .4/5 Mi fen (noodles) solid, flavorful, and common dish around this area. 4/5 Hong shu yi (yam leaf) traditional vegitable dish that's similar to spinach. 4/5 Char sui bao (pork buns) amazingly fresh out of the oven, sadly the pork filling lacks. Overall, very good food at a good price. Came here in Oct 2024 and had an incredible meal. The food is absolutely top notched even compared to the best Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong and Vancouver, for prices that is like 20% of what you would pay for equivalent quality food in those cities. It was a fairly decent place for a meal. Every dish was quite good and the price was very reasonable.

Amazing food, tried their popular goose and it was really good. They also have an english book written with questions for you so the communication can go faster for ordering for example.

It’s so funny 🤣. The Chinese name is A-Gan 阿甘. They have many outlets . When you Google map it comes out as Forest Gump. Nevermind. They serve local guangxi food ie Guilin is in guangxi. Food is tasty. Roast goose was tasty. So was the crispy rice with beef gravy. We had sweet potato leaves as veggies. And seafood tofu. The veggies tho a little ‘old’ but very fresh & tasty. The tofu was just okay
