" Loved my first time at Formosa Taipei! I ordered a few dumpling varieties and was not disappointed! The staff was friendly and helped me make some choices. The place had a cozy feel, even if it was mostly takeout. I appreciated the huge menu and will definitely come back for more authentic Taiwanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Formosa Taipei while looking for takeout options, and I'm glad I did! They have an extensive menu and I must say, the 3 Cup meals are delightful. Everything I've tried so far seems genuinely made from quality ingredients. The atmosphere might not be fancy, but the taste more than compensates. It’s the perfect spot for a quick meal that doesn’t compromise on authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Formosa Taipei for years, and it remains my go-to spot for Taiwanese takeout! Their Bubble Tea is truly authentic, and I can taste the quality in their Spicy Beef Noodles. It’s a bit cramped on the inside, but it’s worth it for phenomenal flavors. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone wanting a real taste of Taiwan! " (*Curated Review*)

" I only recently discovered Formosa Taipei, but I was blown away by their delicious offering! Ordered a variety of dumplings and their house special noodles. Everything was so fresh and vibrant with authentic flavors. Service was decent and swift despite the small establishment. Would definitely recommend this place to fellow food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular at Formosa Taipei, I can confidently say this is one of the best spots for authentic Taiwanese food in town. The Steamed Mini Juicy Pork Buns are a dream. I appreciate how they make everything fresh, and the variety on the menu caters to all tastes - from spicy dishes to comfort food. While the ambiance is nothing impressive, the flavors certainly make up for it. The only downside is limited seating. " (*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*)
