She promptly refilled drinks, and checked on us to make sure all was well throughout our meal. The meals were fabulous! Freshly prepared and everything was tasty. The hot mustard was kick ass good! I haven't had such great hot mustard in I don't know when. A long time. Something so simpler yet was such a treat to have. Reminded me Of growing up in Boston with old school hot mustard. The restaurant was a Surprise inside, spacious and really well decorated. One side of the restaurant had a large bar and the opposite side was a huge sushi bar with the dining room in the middle. I won't be waiting so long to go back.

I went here prior to a UMass hockey game, and was told ahead of time that it was functional Chinese…read morefood, but wasn't going to blow my socks off. Turns out, that was a very apt description. We arrived and got seated at a table with a very nice curved window view. I can imagine being here on a rainy or snowy day and getting to be surrounded by the weather while not having to get wet. The service was friendly, if mostly absent, and fast. This place mostly loses stars on the food. We had: wonton soup, miso soup, scallion pancakes, crab rangoons, happy family, tangerine chicken, and asparagus and snap peas with shrimp. The wonton soup seemed to be a beef broth soup, interesting change up from any wonton soup I've had before, a little salty and good wontons. The miso soup was also a good miso. The crab rangoons were too sweet and the wrapper too thick, thus making it chewy, but at least you could tell there was something in there beyond just cream cheese. The hunt for good crab rangoons continues. The scallion pancakes were very thick, but at least not greasy. The sauce was punchy and pleasant. The asparagus and snap peas with shrimp was positioned as having a light flavor, and that was very accurate. Almost like they were steamed and then served, but you could see a sauce coating them. The happy family was coated in a brown sauce that didn't carry much flavor either, but nothing was wrong either. The tangerine chicken was listed as one spicy out of three, and I'm happy to report they understand spicy rating. While the broccoli was chopped a tad large, the chicken was cooked very well, and you got just some spice on the back end with sweet on the front. Overall, nothing here was bad, but it also came across and middling. If you asked me to write this review a couple days from now I feel I'd have trouble remembering anything about this place except the window seat. I am willing to try some of the other aspects of the menu some time in the future, but I'm not sending anyone running here either.

The dining area is still very sparse in design and coverage. The wait staff were still apathetic, and the wait times for things is still a little long. The Korean fried chicken was very tasty, sweet and salty Korean bbq sauce on perfectly fried wings was delightful. We opted for the pho, and that was very good. The broth was rich and flavorful, no need to season it was perfect already. The brisket was tender and still had a strong brisket flavor. There was a good amount of meat to the bowl and the noodles were fresh. The noodles did clump a bit, but they easily separated when agitated. All of the sushi was not as successful. The rolls lacked any significant flavor and missed some basic elements of sushi preparation. The rice was not seasoned, was not sticky, and the fish was roughly cut. The spicy rolls lacked spice and the crunchy rolls lacked crunch. It was presented well, just didn't show the level of care the front of the menu had. We informed our server of the sushi problems and she apologized but still charged us for all the sushi. Making an otherwise great experience not so great. I would recommend those who come here to focus on the front of the menu exclusively. Those dishes are stellar and are well worth the asking price. The sushi menu on the back is basic in flavor, pricy, and only worth having if you really need sushi. It does limit their menu significantly, but the quality difference is drastic.

Tonight, I found myself home alone and hungry, and after seeing so many positive reviews, I decided to give them another chance. The staff were very friendly, but I noticed the same unusual smell I remembered from years ago. I ordered Combo A: General Tso's Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Crab Rangoon. The pork fried rice was underwhelming. The pork was tough, and the flavor seemed to be little more than soy sauce. It was mostly rice with a few onion slices and pieces of pork. The General Tso's Chicken was disappointing as well. There was very little actual chicken and a lot of batter. The sauce was brown in color and tasted nothing like the General Tso's sauce I've had elsewhere. It lacked flavor, and aside from a single piece of pepper, there were no vegetables. The Crab Rangoon was okay. The texture was different from what I'm used to, but it was edible. Overall, I found it to be an $18.75 meal that was largely inedible.

I ordered chicken fingers and pork fried rice. The price was fair, and the rice was tasty, but the chicken fingers--or sweet and sour chicken--were awful. They tasted like they'd been soaking in oil for a week, not crispy at all, just soggy and gross. I ate them anyway since I hadn't had takeout for dinner in a while and was very hungy , but now I'm feeling sick, like I drank a whole bottle of cooking oil. I won't be going back there again.

Stopped in to place a take out order today and found the place to be very pleasant and more set up…read morefor takeout business. They do have a couple of tables and chairs if you choose to eat in. They do a pretty good takeout business at lunch time given the traffic that came and went while I was there. My order consisted of 3 large orders of chicken fingers, crunchy beef with snow peas (extra spicy), pork mei fun, and pork fried dumplings. While waiting I asked for hot and sour soup. The soup came out in a plastic take out container with a bag of noodles (nice touch) on a serving tray. Nice presentation. But the soup was so hot in temperature that it was near possible to enjoy it and really get the full flavor of it. As I couldn't wait for it to cool down I ate as much of it as I could. It contained slices of pork, mushrooms, small cubes of tofu and the usual things you'd expect to find in the soup. Next time I'll take it to go and by the time I arrive it may cool down enough to enjoy it completely. The large orders of chicken fingers contains about 13 or 14 pieces of chicken, enough to feed a couple of people. The pork dumplings were fried nicely with a good crust and a great flavor of ginger. Definitely a hit. The pork mei fun was okay but seemed to be lacking a lot of pork. Really not much flavor to it. The beef had large pieces of beef which was fairly tender but lacked snow peas. First time I've asked for beef with snow peas and found broccoli (out numbered the snow peas). Not quite what was expected or ordered. Spice level was okay but not what I'd call extra spicy. There was a small container of white rice included along with the usual fortune cookies. And did ask for extra duck sauce and was provided plenty of containers of that. Overall the food was good and there'll be additional visits to try other things on the menu. The chicken fingers were the hit of the show with the people I was with. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Formosa has an affordable lunch menu, and even on busy days has delivered my meal within ten minutes. Don't be astounded yet, because I would easily wait twenty minutes for this food. When their food arrives from the delicious variety of their lunch specials, you will be treated to crispy tofu, a nuanced spice for chili or jalapeño meals, or fresh vegetables that will make you wonder: who is introducing you to the best cuisine that southeast Asia has to offer? Sichuan meals, Mandarin meals, and even with a Miso soup that is vibrant and delicate in flavor, you may not have any difficulty in deciding at all because any meal you choose will be cooked with what tastes like generations of expertise, love, and wisdom. It is not possible to follow a recipe, or a video, or a shopping trip and recreate the food at the level of Formosa, nor at the price of Formosa, and I say this after years of enjoying their meals. If you are in the area and you are hungry, you will want to visit Formosa as it is an unbelievably satisfying trip for almost any person in the continental USA, and likely for international travelers from near and far. Please tip your staff generously and leave a review to share this love--there is no amount of business they can do that will do the history and delight in their food justice. Their food is accessible to the local public, and they also donate to local causes as well. Amherst has more than universities that educate people here, they have restaurants with generations of stories and wisdom in every meal. You'll be amazed at the silky luxury their hot and sour soup is, with a texture matching the fresh micro mushrooms inside. Be prepared and humble, the staff are dedicated, responsible, and attentive to the public as much as they can. I would love to read a book about the story of this restaurant some day.
