" Great evening spent at Formoosa! The staff greeted me with smiles, which already set a good tone for the night. The menu had a strong selection of Taiwanese dishes, the beef noodle soup and the pork over rice are definitely the highlights. The seating is a bit cramped but adds to the authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a bit disappointed after my visit to Formoosa. The first impression was great—the ambiance and decor are nice. However, the food lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The beef noodle soup was mediocre, and the service was quite slow. I don’t know if I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Formoosa was decent but didn't meet my expectations completely. The food had good quality and some dishes were excellent, but the authenticity felt lacking. Wait staff was nice but overwhelmed. Might come back someday but it won't be a priority. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Formoosa! The beef noodle soup was simply out of this world - rich, flavorful broth with tender beef that melted in my mouth. The scallion pancakes were crispy and delightful. Nicole was our server and she was exceptionally attentive. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Formoosa is a must-visit if you appreciate real Taiwanese cuisine. All dishes I tried had depth of flavor, from the beef noodles to the sesame wontons. The vibe of the restaurant is young and trendy, making it a delightful place to hang out with friends. " (*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*)
