Reviews
The chili wontons were perhaps the best I have ever had. The flavor was very elevated and it was a perfect appetizer.
The scallion pancake was also good. Yeah, just the right amount of spice and was very easily shareable.
The house special beef noodle soup was also a fantastic. A little spicy but in a great way. The noodles were great but you can also order wavy noodles which are a unique option. But the beef was super tender and it was very filling. Kind of enough for two people.
Overall, this is a great restaurant. The only problem would be parking in this area which is always tough, but I would still highly recommend it.
Fried chicken – 3/5 – there’s a Sichuan peppercorn flavor I wasn’t a fan of due to the numbing sensations. Plus, the chicken was dry-ish (but I’ve definitely had worse). The basil was a nice touch – always love fried chicken with basil!
Beef noodle soup – 4/5 – we got the wide noodles, which ended up a bit over cooked but were otherwise good. The beef was tender and the soup broth more flavorful as it sat. They used a torch to sear the meat before serving – I felt like it was unnecessary
Spicy wontons – 3/5 – I didn’t like the addition of black vinegar into the chili sauce and the wonton filling needed more flavor (or just some salt). Otherwise the wonton skins were nicely cooked and not too thick and the chili oil was enough to cover the wontons.
Tucked in the Convoy District of Kearny Mesa, **Formosa** brings that classic Taiwanese night-market energy to San Diego—bright signage, open kitchen rolling out scallion pancakes, and the constant sizzle of beef on the griddle . The **convenient location** right in the heart of Convoy makes it an easy stop after boba runs or Asian grocery hauls—plenty of plaza parking, too.
**Service was friendly** and classic fast-casual: order at the counter, staff with quick smiles and helpful suggestions, food out in under 10 minutes even during the dinner rush. Grab a seat inside or take it to go—no fuss.
The star here is the **beef roll** (scallion pancake wrapped with tender sliced beef, hoisin, cilantro, and cucumber). The beef is flavorful and juicy, the wrap has decent layers, and the whole thing hits that satisfying savory-crunchy combo. It definitely scratches the itch for 626-style Taiwanese snacks down in SD.
That said, minor deductions keep it from perfection. It was **too saucy** for my taste—hoisin overwhelmed a bit and made things soggy fast. I wanted **more crisp** from the pancake (edges were good, but center lacked that shatter), and the pancakes themselves tasted like they were **frozen** before cooking—slightly dense rather than fresh-rolled flaky.
Still, Formosa earns a strong 4.5 because that **wannabe 626 feel** in San Diego scores big points—closest thing we’ve got to the real SGV deal without driving three hours. When the beef roll craving hits south of OC, this is the spot. I’ll be back—probably asking for light sauce next time.
The spicy wontons were the best, and the sesame noodles were very fresh and tasty. The scallion pancakes were just okay. Very crispy but didn’t have enough scallions.
James and Aiden were really helpful and friendly.
