Been going here for over 8 years and it’s our goto Chinese restaurant. Private and spacious interior, friendly staff, reasonable prices.
One of the best sesame balls and scallions pancakes. My fav is the hot and sour soup when I’m sick, for some reason after a bowlful I always feel a lil better!

I’ve been eating here for almost six years and usually love the food, but tonight’s combination fried rice was disappointing — it had no flavor, and I only got three shrimp. It makes me wonder if there’s a new chef, because the quality just wasn’t the same as usual.

I don’t understand. I leave this glowing review the other day about how great the egg rolls are. Best egg rolls I’ve had in years. No jelly rolls. All veggie. I go back and you replaced them with jelly rolls!!!! Why? Why would you do that? I want my money back!

The food is great here. War won ton soup, mixed vegetables, chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, teriyaki skewers, egg rolls and crab cheese won tons are some of our favorites and they offer delivery after 4pm which is always super fast. Been going here for years and it has some of the(if not the) best chinese food in the state

The wife and I went here for dinner trying a new place and here is a 100% unbiased review. We like to find hole in the wall places like this and we love to support small businesses.
The vegetable egg rolls and the egg drop soup were bland with very little flavor. We ordered the chicken Gyoza and the Chicken skewers and both were great so we highly recommend. I ordered the combo fried rice with chicken,shrimp and beef and it was also really great. My wife ordered the BBQ Pork with vegetables which she found to be overly drenched in BBQ sauce. Our waitress was ok and she met our needs but seemed to not like interacting with customers. The entire restaurant is out of date and makes you feel like your visiting your grandmother’s house with flower pattern all over it. It wasn’t horrible but was a little weird. The bathrooms on the other hand are gross and need a massive cleaning and update. Not trying to be rude but it would definitely help in the customer recommendation to other people. Overall it was a good place to eat and a definite diamond in the rough.

Came in today at lunch as a direct result of the great reviews.
The staff were extremely friendly and I was sat quickly to wait for my friend. I loved the complimentary hot tea and the water with a slice of lemon. These were great touches that separate Formosa Garden from other “Chinese” or east Asian restaurants.
The atmosphere seemed like a relic of the 80s or, at the very least, the early 90s. I understand that small restaurants can’t always keep up with the times, but updating to a modern look would change the ambience significantly. Unless you like that dated look, then: great!
I ordered the Orange Chicken and was thrilled that the spicy dish was actually spicy. Most places will tell you their orange chicken is spicy, but in reality, it never is. Formosa kept that promise, to which I’m grateful.
My friend ordered the Cashew Chicken and had two complaints:
[1] There weren’t enough cashews, and
[2] The meat was a tad rubbery.
As we discussed this, I realized my orange chicken was also more ‘chewy’ than chicken should be. Almost as if the chicken was thawed in the microwave, then cooked.
All-in-all, the experience is one I’d try again to see if these issues were outliers or the norm.
The lunch price was great and very competitive with Panda Express.

We ordered take out from this place on Monday and everyone got sick after eating it. I ordered Pad Thai and the flavor tasted off. It was not good! Would not recommend and will not be going back!

The lunch special is a good deal comes with an entrée, fried or steamed rice, and egg roll and soup if you dine-in for under $8! Like a traditional Asia. Restaurant they serve you tea to start which is great!
We had the pan fried dumplings. They were delicious. The soup was also really good. We ordered the chicken with garlic sauce and the sesame chicken. Both were hot, fresh and delicious with a spicy kick.
The only weird thing is they served fried rice that was broken rice and no veggies in the fried rice. So it was good but not great. The egg roll was small and crispy but tasty.
Our first visit here will definitely return!! Very friendly and great customer service.

I’ve been ordering from Formosa for the last 20 years and lately the food quality has been terrible. Tonight the orange and sesame chicken the sauce had the consistency of snot and noodles in the combo lo mein were so over cooked they were so mushy we couldn’t eat them. I’ve been happy for so long dinning here it makes me sad to see the decline in food.
