" I have been coming to Formosa Taipei for years and am always impressed with their authentic flavors, especially their Hot & Spicy Minced Chicken. It's just perfect! The atmosphere doesn’t offer much, but the warmth of the staff more than compensates for it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious takeout options. Don't forget to check out the specials as they often have great seasonal dishes that reflect genuine Taiwanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long day, I decided to order from Formosa Taipei for the first time. I was excited as I heard great things about their beef noodles. Sadly, my dish was bland and off-putting. The portion was decent, but I expected the taste to be equally impressive given the rave reviews. The service was prompt, but what a letdown! I'll need to give it another shot someday, as they have other items on the menu that seem promising. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Formosa Taipei was delightful! The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup is an absolute must-try. It's rich in flavor and unlike anything I've had at other places. The staff were friendly, and despite the simple decor, it felt cozy. I'll definitely be returning for more authentic Taiwanese dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Formosa Taipei. Though the dumplings looked appealing, they didn't have much flavor. The atmosphere felt a bit dull, but the cordiality from the staff was a plus. I might give them another chance, but I wasn’t impressed this time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for Formosa Taipei, but I was left wanting. The flavors were muted and arguably too oily. Service was fine; however, it didn't offset my less-than-satisfactory experience with the food. Perhaps I'll give them another chance, depending on my craving for Taiwanese takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm very critical of Chinese restaurants, and Formosa Taipei has its ups and downs. While I loved the taste of their spicy dishes, the overall consistency of flavors was hit-or-miss. Some items were amazing, but others, like the fried rice, fell flat. The service was decent, and I do appreciate their quick turnaround for takeout. It’s a mixed bag, and I think more experience is needed to give a comprehensive review. " (*Curated Review*)

" Formosa Taipei is a gem for takeout! I tried the fancy beef wrap and was pleasantly surprised by how generous the portion was. The flavors were authentic, reminding me of my travels in Taiwan. The service was quite fast, making it a great spot when you're in a rush. However, seating is limited, so keep that in mind; takeout is definitely the way to go. " (*Curated Review*)
