Reviews for Formosa Restaurant in Columbia, MO
Absolutely LOVE their food......but NOW I have to order through DoorDash when I live literally ONE exit away from them?? I've... had issues with DoorDash in the past and this has NEVER happened when I've ordered from this restaurant and I am disappointed.I'll still order from them, but this is why I'm only giving them 3 stars because this is ridiculous.???????????

Right from the start there was some confusion finding them because their address led to a strip mall with a place called "China... Star" on the front. After a quick phone call from the parking lot they cleared it up explaining they were both. The interiorwas clean and tidy, staff wore masks and some latex gloves also. There are a couple of booths and chairs at a bar for dining in,however none were taken during my visit. There was a lot of take out and delivery traffic, which clearly is their primarybusiness. The menu was expansive with plenty of "American style" dishes next to obviously authentic Chinese fare. You'lldefinitely find things you're used to seeing next to other things to experiment. Even though they were busy, my order only took15 minutes. You have the option of also ordering online and paying in advance for either pick up or store based home deliveryvia their website. Parking out front was ample, with handicapped spots near the door with curb ramps. I admit I was hoping tofind a dining experience but the quality of the food i brought home was superb and delicious. It was packed nicely andeverything was still hot. Highly recommend ???? Read more
Compared to other places in town the food is really bland. I added my own sesame seeds, soy sauce, and green onions and that... seemed to help but I dont feel I should have to season it for them. The sweet and sour sauce tasted like straight ketchup. Youcould go to other places in town and get better food for roughly the same price. Read more
Great food, amazing prices for their lunch special, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Mediocre at best. Ordered fried cashew chicken and crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was the only reason a second star was awarded.... The food was lukewarm delivered, the chicken was all dark meat (no white meat option) and very dry, the sauce was thick andoily, white steamed rice was not warm. Go with another option. Read more
It was pretty good...the shrimp was a little overcooked and everything seemed a little smaller than expected. Everything that... was hot was delicious and the soup was very tasty. It was delivered earlier than expected, though, but we were very hungry andate until we were stuffed. Unfortunately, when heating up leftovers the next morning that didn't leave the carton, there was ahair in the food. It's a shame. We were expecting great food. The delivery man acted shy and was leaving when I opened thedoor...I wasn't sure if anyone was knocking or not. Read more
Seriously this was so nasty. I ordered delivery and the "cashew sauce" was gravy like and even after microwaving for a minute it... still didnt pour. The cuts of meat were more like slivers of pure grizel or fat with disgusting weird crunchy bites in themiddle. Something was wrong with this meat. I would strongly advise against this restauraunt (at least for delivery, haven't atethere in person) Maybe specify all white meat? Idk. The only good thing I got were the crab rangoon and even those weren'tanything to write home about. Some of the grossest, greasiest, scariest chinese food I've ever eaten. And that's saying a lot.I'll eat almost anything. Read more
Formosa has reinvented themselves! The food is always good and arrives to us hot and fresh. For the folks complaining about the... cashew chicken - order stir fried - Sounds like you're getting "Springfield style" which IS indeed nasty no matter where you getit from Read more
