Reviews for Formosa Chinese Restaurant in Amherst, MA
Fabulous!!! The food was excellent, very high quality with rich flavors. They don't use MSG which means the flavors of the foods... and sauces have to stand on their own, and they do. I have a terrible reaction to MSG, and I did not here so I can vouch for thefact that indeed, they do not use MSG. Nice variety on their menu. Definitely a high quality authentic Chinese restaurant whichis rare to find these days. I highly recommend. Read more
I've been here twice so far and I've ordered the szechuan soft shell crab, the beef tongue appetizer, and the beef and tomato... hotpot w/ bean noodles. All were delicious. The crab was my favorite, soft on the inside crunchy on the outside and so so spicywhile still being incredibly flavorful. This restaurant has a classy atmosphere, and many fun and interesting dishes. Even dadloved it and he's incredibly picky. Can't wait to come back and sample more from this menu. Read more
The food was delicious and the portions were amazing. I had the Golden Chicken fingers with homemade duck sauce (which was... absolutely delicious) and the Pork Fried Rice. Both were absolutely delicious. The golden Chicken fingers were incredibly moistand crispy and mixed with the homemade duck sauce was delicious. The Pork Fried Rice was delicious but a little unusual forChinese, as it had green onions, but nonetheless was extremely good. The whole place was extremely well decorated with beautifulplants and beautiful paintings and the waiter was incredibly nice. If I had anything negative to say, (and this is just apersonal preference, not necessarily the restaurant's fault), I would have preferred to drink soda over water. But I don't wantthat minor thing to overshadow the wonderful experience I had. I will definitely be back ????. Read more
The appetizers were all great, especially the scallion pancakes and buns. The pan soup dumplings were also good. Were the meal... lost momentum was the main course, everything was good just not as amazing as the pre game. Nice service and beautifulrestaurant. Read more
The food was pretty good, but the service was slow. We waited 15 minutes to for the server to pick up the credit card and bill.
Wow, I have never had better service in my life!!! If your water was ever getting low it would be filled right away. I ordered... my food and it came out in under five minutes. My server was also very polite and checked in on me multiple times. The food wasalso amazing and I would definitely go hear again. I would highly recommend this place! Read more
Used to be a much better restaurant. Larger portions and better more authentic flavors. Somewhere down the line they?ve changed... the iconic stuff like the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and the braised pork and rice. Read more
This place has good service and food, especially for the price. I think I paid about $22 including tax and tip for lunch, which... included soup and rice. I do recommend the food I ordered if you enjoy eating spicy food, but if you have a weak stomach, ordersomething more mild off the menu. Read more
