"FYI: FORMOSA IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN FOR DINE-IN, 11AM-2PM and 4:30PM-8PM, TUESDAY-FRIDAY AND SUNDAY. This is easily one of the best restaurants in Memphis.  Even though it has been around nearly 50 years, I am always amazed that it does not get more recognition. At first glance the menu is fairly standard, but the food--nearly everything--is exceptional.  I have been going for decades and tried many dishes.  Even with inflation, the lunch specials remain one of the better values in town $9.50.   Besides the main course, you get a spring roll, chicken wing, soup, rice, and Chinese donut...it may sound fairly typical, but each of those items is much tastier than what I am served at similar restaurants.  I don't remember ever having a bad meal, and there is none of the mystery meat you get at some places.  In particular, the sesame chicken, lo mein, mu shu, beef with broccoli, hot and sour soup, and spring rolls are ALL the best I have had at any Chinese restaurant.  I have taken out-of-towners to Formosa who have been surprised that the sesame chicken is not known across the country.  It may be the most underrated dish at any Memphis restaurant, and it's truly a shame that so many Memphians ignore this place. The dinner menu offers many things not available at lunch, and it was probably the most reasonably priced dinner restaurant in town when I last ate dinner there in early 2020 $8-$12 for most entrees, which come in generous portions.   They are still open for carry-out at dinner time, as far as I know.  When they were open for dine-in at night, it was a first-rate dinner restaurant.  It has a very calm, not-too-bright dining area, and very soft piano music in the background...just the right level of elegance to make it suitable for any occasion, but not so much that it feels cold.  Do not be deterred by the location, in a strip mall-style shopping center, in a somewhat remote corner of town. The service is always good also, a real luxury nowadays.  I never have to wait long at all for my food.  They have had the same server for a very long time, and she is very efficient and polite. The few bad reviews absolutely baffle me.  For me, this place sets the standard for Chinese restaurants.  But I advise anyone not to judge Formosa, or any other place, based on a to-go order.  Restaurant meals not eaten immediately after preparation are usually a very poor substitute for the real deal, and this restaurant is no exception.  Sogginess spring rolls, sesame chicken, etc sets in very fast, and the loss of heat wreaks havoc on the flavor microwaving usually just makes things worse.   To truly see how good the food is, you need to dine in."

Ordered a takeaway fried rice. So soggy does not feel like fried rice

Not many Chinese places I’d give the time of day. This place is great and has been since it

It's quite frustrating that they don't prepare certain dishes, like egg foo young, until a specific time.

Wow! This place serves amazingly delicious American-Chinese food! The wings are enormous, roughly the size of a man's fist! Voir le carte

I've been visiting this restaurant since I was a child, and the food continues to surpass that of every other Chinese restaurant in town.

I wish they had negative stars,this restaurant by far is the worst one I have ever been to. The food was really horrible and not fresh at all. Stay away

On our second visit, I wish I could capture the amazing aroma of the food. This time, we tried sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken, and it was absolutely heavenly—I couldn't be happier. The woman at the counter was incredibly friendly, too!

"Just to start this out as honestly as i can, we had just gotten out of a 6+ hour long drive so we were hungry and sorta didn't care about what to get just knew we wanted food! With that being said this food was amazing, we both got the Veggie Burrito and a fountain drink. Food didn't take long to get to us, we were seated upstairs, which on its own is a completely different experience that we weren't expecting, you walk into a small entrance where you can see the cooks making the orders and you place your order at the counter, not gonna lie the downstairs isn't much to look at but I do appreciate being able to see the cooks, not for security or anything, just because you don't see that too often. After you make your order you're walked upstairs and seated in this very nice large room with many tables chairs and even a bar! We came towards the middle of the day so we didn't experience any drinks unfortunately. Beautiful space, great design and lots of natural lighting, the atmosphere was very nice and refreshing. The food, now the food was super surprising not to say that we're expecting it to be bad but in my experience anything Veggie or vegetarian usually has a tendency of being a bit bland and or being filled with lettuce where the meat would've been, which is sad because that means many places rely heavily on meat to bring the flavor, but our burritos were so delicious! The burritos had lots of flavor with nothing overpowering anything but instead everything complimenting everything else rather well, they had actually used potatoes in the burritos as the protein replacement and i was very much elated at that, because let's be honest you can do so much with potatoes and they absolutely paired well in the burrito, I personally don't like spicy anything so when I saw jalapeños I was a bit worried, but they're actually pickled jalapeños with other vegetables and they added such a fresh taste and nice bite I was very much pleasantly surprised. The dish was served with beans and rice both of which were also delicious nothing too much to say about them but very good sides. I definitely recommend this place, prices are actually low for food this good! Definitely stop by and try!"
