Formosa Garden

I called in and placed a to go order and let them know I'd be there in a half hour. I got there right on time but the order wasn't ready. The young man that rang up the order was very nice and polite and went to the kitchen. It only took another 10 minutes and he came out with my order - which had obviously just been made and was still steaming hot when I got home. That made me very happy! I was a little worried because there were no customers but some did come in when I was on my way out.The portions were very generous and the prices are good - I like being able to make a lunch into a combo with soup, 2 crab cheese wonton, and a small egg roll for only $4.The food was all good and the two young men working there were very pleasant. The restaurant seems older and could probably use some clean up behind the counter area but I wouldn't be opposed to eating there again.

Placed a quick order for pickup. Formosa Gardens uses Beyond Menu for placing an order online. Formosa Garden is a neighborhood favorite. It comes highly rated on Nextdoor as well. My go to order includes crab cheese wontons and General Tso's chicken- chicken is always a little chewier than I like. Always nice to get the comfort food you know.

Great food! Always quick delivery! Been going to Formosa for almost 15 years! Definitely recommend.

Ordered takeout for dinner and decided to try several different dishes. The General Tso Chicken had great flavor and plenty of chicken. The Kung Pao Shrimp wasn't too spicy and tender. Although the Beef and Broccoli was cooked well and flavorful, it was more broccoli than beef. Sweet and Sour Pork was more breading than pork. Definitely order off of their House Speciality menu as those items were better quality. Food was ready and on time and service was friendly and portions were good.

We chose Formosa Garden for lunch as the other Chinese restaurants nearby that had better reviews didn't offer dine in options. I took my nieces and nephews out for lunch and we wanted to dine inside. We arrived around 2:45pm, just right before the lunch price cutoff time of 3pm. Ambience was ok and looked like a typically Chinese restaurant from the 80's. They could use an upgrade in flooring and decor. Formosa Gardens has ample seating. The place was almost empty when arrived. Service was good and the food came out fairly quickly. Our server kept our water glasses full and brought hot tea refills when we asked.Now for the food.... We ordered the crab Rangoons and pork dumplings, those were pretty good, made with enough filling and tasted fresh. Temperature-wise, It wasn't that hot. Like it had been sitting in the back for a while. Our server mixed up our order a bit and brought out steamed rice when we asked for fried rice. Formosa's fried rice was actually pretty good compared to other Chinese restaurants. It had good texture and taste. I ordered the kung pao chicken, which happens to not be on the lunch menu?!?!?? and was charged $1 more than the other $9.95 lunch items. The brown sauce that came with the kung pao had a weird bitter aftertaste, it wasn't savory that leaves you wanting more. Same for the lo mein... it was lacking flavor and savory... very bland. The sauce for the orange chicken was better, but it was mostly breading and not much chicken. Pricing was decent. We paid $79 for 5 lunches and 2 appetizers for 5 people, and that included a tip. Overall it was an ok dining experience at Formosa Garden. I don't live in Aurora, but I probably wouldn't go back. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures, the food wasn't that memorable.

My wife had the Kung Pao Chicken and I had the Beef with Broccoli, along with fried egg rolls and fried pot stickers. We were both craving vegetables and these entrees delivered! My wife loved her chicken dish as there was plenty of chicken and vegetables. The broccoli in my entree was perfectly cooked, meaning not too al dente or mushy. The sauce was not too sweet or salty, which I truly appreciated. The fried pot stickers were simply amazing and tasty. The weak link was the egg rolls. I'm not a huge fan of salt, but these egg rolls definitely needed some. Plus, the egg rolls were wrapped too many times, thereby making the ratio overly wrapped versus the amount of filling. The service was responsive, fast, and friendly. I can't wait to go back!

Last night I just wanted hot and sour soup. This is usually where I get it. It was not good! I ordered a large container. The soup was really sour and there were 3 pieces of tofu and NOTHING else! Guess I'm done with this restaurant. We've been going there for 20+ years, so disappointing.

The food was cold. They forgot the soup that was part of the lunch. Brought it after we mentioned it. One entree-the pork dish was bad and the shrimp dish was passable. The gyoza was very good. Service was okay. Not very authentic.

I stopped by here for egg drop soup and and was not disappointed. Tasty soup and fast service.

This was my 1st time ordering from Formosa Garden and I was not disappointed! Tso's chicken was deliciou, egg drop soup, egg roll & wontons were good too. the only change I would made is with the fried rice, missing veggies. The fried rice could be bette.
