" I finally tried Formoosa after hearing so much about it, and I was quite underwhelmed. While the ambiance is warm and inviting, the authenticity of the dishes just didn’t hit the mark for me. The beef noodle soup lacked depth, and the noodles didn’t have that signature chewiness I’m used to. Service was friendly but slow. I might return to give it another chance, but it’s not at the top of my list right now. " (*Curated Review*)

" Formoosa was a great experience overall. The beef roll and sesame wontons were particularly good, but the wait for food could be a little long. The atmosphere made it all worth it in the end, though! Definitely happy with my meal here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Atmosphere is great and very inviting! The beef roll is a must-try! I returned to Formoosa because I cannot get over how good it was the first time. The drinks were also very refreshing, although, my friends and I had to wait a little long for our food, it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner here! The beef roll is a must-have; it was savory and wrapped in the perfect crispy pancake. The cocktails were unique and tasty. The only downside was the limited seating as it can fill up fast, but we managed to get a table by arriving early. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I tried Formoosa! Their beef noodle soup is one of the best I’ve ever had—full of flavor and served piping hot. Seating is limited but the ambiance is cozy and makes for an inviting meal. I can’t wait to bring my friends here next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! The beef noodle soup had a delicious broth and the portion size was very generous. The wait staff were friendly but can be a bit overwhelmed during busy times. Overall a positive experience, definitely coming back for more Taiwanese dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out Formoosa after hearing good things, and I wasn’t disappointed! I loved their beef dishes as they really hit the spot. Even though it was busy, there was no compromise on service! I will be back to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
