The best Chinese anywhere but in China. Have been going there for decades. It's not quite as good as it was in the old days, but still good. A little pricey.
There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in the Chattanooga area and most of them are buffets. Formosa is not a buffet and the food is far superior to any buffet I've ever eaten at. We've lived in the area for 11 years now and never tried Formosa before last week. The restaurant sits in a corner of a strip mall, and we never really knew what it was. Our friends asked us to meet them there last week and we decided to check it out. The restaurant was nearly full, which was a good sign. We were quickly seated, handed menus and our server took our drink orders. The menu is extensive and I liked the fact that each dish had a complete description of the meal and if it was hot (spicy) or not. There were so many choices that I had a hard time choosing just one dish. All four of us ordered different dishes and eat one was looked outstanding. I ordered the Almond Chicken dish and it was fantastic. You get a choice or white, brown or fried rice with each meal, so we picked all three. The dishes were served piping hot, full of flavor and looked and smelled fantastic. The portion sizes were great for dinner. They also have a lunch menu, but I am not sure if the portions are smaller for the lunch specials, but I would assume that they would be. This is now our favorite restaurant and we can't wait to visit them again.
Panda Express wouldn't make me any egg rolls because they closed in 30 minutes. I called Formosa, they were also out, but ya know what??? They whipped me up a fresh order... No begging.
I loved the atmosphere. Trendy, laid back and very inviting. Great menu and selection to choose from. Some of the best Asian food I've had in a very long time. Very good service too.
