The beef noodle soup had a deeply seasoned broth with a well-balanced richness. The beef was properly braised, tender without falling apart, and the portion of pickled mustard greens was quite generous. Overall, a satisfying and well-executed Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup. read more

This is the newest Taiwanese Bento shop in the Chino area that took over the old Taiwanese restaurant in the Costco Plaza near Boiling Point. This place has a wide variety of traditional Taiwanese food and best yet NO tips! You can either order yourself at the kiosk or at the register. Everything here is self service, hence no tipping! Yes you get your own water, utensils, pickup your tray at the counter. The value for the bento sets is awesome! Each bento comes with 3 side dishes along with the main item. The sides change often so it will be different most times! Our favorites so far have been the tomato egg, and garlic napa or bokchoy. Our go-to mains have been porkchop rice or the ginger chicken, but the 3 cup chicken is also delicious. There snack items are also great with the fried tempura or popcorn mushroom being favorites. You can also add a drink to your order at discount or order drinks ala carte. The servers ladies do speak both mandarin and english. They do still bring your order to your table occasionally if they are not super busy. Yes there is a line on peak weekend hours but usually goes pretty quickly. This is definitely highly recommended and our new go-to place when we're in the area looking for delicious Taiwanese Bentos. It has the stamp of approval from Mom and Dad too! read more

The presentation and overall appearance of the bento were excellent. The variety of side dishes was thoughtfully arranged, colorful, and very appealing. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. What impressed me the most was that the food was not greasy at all, which is something I really appreciate in a Taiwanese bento. The portions were satisfying, and the ingredients tasted high quality. If I could suggest a couple of small improvements, I think the pork chop would be even better with just a touch of sweetness to balance the seasoning, as it was slightly on the salty side. The preserved radish could also be soaked a bit longer to reduce some of the saltiness. These are only minor suggestions. Overall, the food was delicious, healthy, and clearly prepared with care. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! read more

Bentos are delicious here and a bit reminiscent of the past SGV. For those who were in the SGV before, think back to Why Thirsty in its heyday. There used to be many places like this in the SGV back in the day, but I think everyone moved out here. Get the pork chop bento + radish soup and black tea. Sides are all great and fresh. Self-service and food usually comes quickly. read more

Love this place soooo much! Would love to come back again! Good for lunch and dinner, good for parties as well. Super convenient! Strong recommend it! read more

Formosa Bento - Love everything about this place! Very convenient and super delicious. Nice and clean. Good for lunch and dinner! - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Pretty good taiwanese food..... plus it isn't as expensive as you would think. So here's the deal.... it's a place you go to for taiwanese "bento-ish" meals. You get there and line up / pay at the kiosk. Good news no need for tips here. Probably because it's incorporated in the prices ... which is a plus. They have a number of choices for meals and, i'm pretty happy with the them and the price. So the bento's have an assortment of side dishes that come with them... Since , i went for to-go .... i just got bowls. These do not have sides but they do come with the protein, rice , and stir fried cabbage... so pretty good meal already... I particularly liked the chicken - ginger scallion.... the sauce made the dish.... their porkchop were pretty good too. Ambiance wise, they do have a number of tables and chairs available... And yes, it's pretty much self serve... claygo :) Oh and they do have platters for parties... and drinks/ sweet stuff as well to check out. In anycase, will definitely be back .... read more

Saw a few videos of this place on TikTok and was excited to have another Taiwanese spot in the area. I ordered online, but the restaurant has a kiosk inside for dine-in. I personally love ordering through kiosks - and wish more fast casual places offered this. Popcorn chicken - they give you a huge portion and nice sized chunks of chicken. On top of the basil they also prepare it with some whole garlic cloves, which I loved. Flavor was fantastic though I wish it was spicier. Fried rice with pork chop - fried rice was definitely on the stickier side. I prefer a drier texture but the flavor was good. I'm a sucker for egg fried rice and this hit the spot. Pork chop was also super flavorful. Nice light batter. Cut into bite size slivers. Fried noodles - pretty typical stuff. Again the portions here are very generous so you're getting bang for your buck. They use napa cabbage in their noodles so gives you that nice bit of sweetness. Really good food. Good prices. This is definitely a great option for Taiwanese. read more

I was craving a garlic butter shrimp burrito but I couldn't find anything nearby that could really hit that spot for me. So let's go Asian style, it's my first time ordering here I called in my order and ordered the butter garlic shrimp bento plus the radish pork soup. When I arrived in around 20 mins the lady seemed to be a bit confused on why my order was labeled "delivery" and she thought I had already paid. She was about to hand the food to me when I took out my card to pay she was confused and had to ask the other staff to ring me up. Minor confusion I didn't mind but she also just grabbed my card w a greasy glove. She apologized for getting food oils on my card and it wasn't a big deal but I didn't think that was very sanitary if she wanted to continue to use that glove. The spot is in a little plaza across from Costco. I didnt sit down to eat but it was pretty empty and I would've stayed if I wasn't on my lunch break. I'm really digging the flavor on the bento. The amount they gave was really satisfying: it had two types of green veggies like cabbage and some carrot Stir fry Choi. This is what I would subtract 1 star for. The stir fried choi tasted like the grill. Like they kept using the same grill or wok without cleaning it. Upon closer inspection, I saw lil black dots of the wok/grill on this item. I just ate some of it and didn't finish that part. Tasted more fire grill burnt than I would've liked, although the presentation was nice, I don't think that was what they were aiming for with that burnt grill taste. then they also had this king oyster saucy mushroom in the center of the bento. That was gooooood. The shrimp was a flavor bang it really hit the spot for me. I loved getting the rice all saucy with that garlicky butter pepper flavor. They didn't skimp out on the amount of shrimp either. I counted 9 pieces of shrimp. It's headless tail on shrimp so don't forget to remove the tails! Unless u like crunchy lol. They did that shrimp butter garlic flavor mixed w onions so well!! I also really enjoyed the spicy mustard greens on top of the rice and wished that they put a bit more of that in it. My total came out to be around $20. I haven't tried the pork radish soup yet but maybe I'll update my review after I try it. I'm just already pretty full. I would definitely come back for a casual lunch. They seem to have many bento style options. I would love to try a different option next time. read more

I came here after shopping at Costco in the same plaza. I usually get their popcorn chicken bento box to-go. They have kiosks and you can order ahead on their website. It comes with sauteed cabbage, steamed bok choy, mapo tofu, and rice with minced pork. The side dishes were seasoned nicely and the popcorn chicken was crispy and not too salty. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Formosa Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

They are marketed like a ready to eat bento place. You would expect that things are quick. But the dine in experience was very slow. They kept delaying because the fried items were not ready. The experience was similar with a order ahead take out when they missed the estimate time by 15 minutes. You probably have to order ahead like 45 minutes to get a takeout order on time. The price per value was otherwise fine and the taste was otherwise standard. If they could fix the wait time they would have something. read more

This is the newest Taiwanese spot in town and locals are already lining up for it. Being Taiwanese, I'm proud to say it's got all the core elements of that Taiwanese hospitality--self-service AKA no tipping, kind and gracious service, and, of course, BANGIN' food. They specialize in what they call railroad bento boxes, vintage-style drinks like kumquat lemon green tea made from real fruits, and even traditional Taiwanese desserts like tofu pudding. I had to get the classic fried pork chop in my bento and this really satisfied my major food withdrawals coming back from Taiwan. But the SIDES omg. Usually side dishes that come like this are prettyyy forgettable but I might've liked the sides like the mapo tofu and king oyster mushroom more than the entrees. I even ordered another bento to go and had to sneak a bite of the wok-fried braised beef shank. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

This is located in the same plaza as Meet Fresh by Costco. It's very convenient to pick up some quick bento boxes meals after Costco. Plenty of parking. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are around 10 tables if you want to dine in, very clean. You order at the kiosk right when you walk in and they will call your number when your food is ready. Your meal comes with a complementary drinks (black tea or winter melon). If you dine in, there are self serve stations where you can fill the drinks at the drink station. You can also order online through the link listed on Google. The portion is very generous and big. I ordered the popcorn chicken combo and braised chicken leg combo. There are side dishes that come with the bento box. They were both very good. I would definitely come back again to try other bento boxes. read more

Nice new restaurant addition to the Chino Hills community. The restaurant is clean and spacious with lots of seating. Self ordering machines makes it quick and convenient. Service is friendly. Each bento comes with one main dish, three side dishes, a soup, and a drink. Very filling Fried pork chop rice and fried chicken rice were done nicely, the meat was well seasoned and not too dry. Garlic shrimp rice has a very buttery taste. It came with 8 medium size shrimps, good deal for the price. Taiwanese sausage was very juicy and full of flavor. Highly recommend this place for quick meal option. read more

Went for lunch with my wife after Costco activities, it's 2 minutes drive from Costco Chino Hills, right next to Green Banana Leaf. I ordered Taiwanese Fried Pork Chop Bento $14.5, the fried pork chop was crispy outside, juicy inside, very yummy! My wife ordered Homestyle Braised Chicken Leg Bento $14, it tasted good but I'd highly recommend Taiwanese Fried Pork Chop Bento. Both bentos came with plenty veggies. Owner was friendly, he came out to chat with customers and asked for feedbacks. read more

Saw this new Taiwanese bento spot pop up and I knew I had to try! Parking was easy in the shared lot and upon entering, we placed an order at the kiosk. We got the fried sausage bento and the golden crispy chicken thigh bento, both of which came with a soup and a self serve drink (wintermelon tea or unsweetened black tea). The food was ready promptly, and you pick it up at the front and find your own table. The food was really good! My picky Asian mom ate the entire thing with no leftovers and approves. The staff members were also nice, walking around to each table and asking how everything tasted. Overall, reasonable prices for quality Taiwanese food, definitely will return when in the area! read more

I was craving some chicken rice and veggies and this spot came up nearby. Ordering is really easy at the kiosk and if you have any questions staff is there to help. I ordered the ginger scallion chicken bento and it came out to $15 with tax. The sides are different daily but I had asked the staff if I could have tofu as a side and they said it wasn't a problem and were very accommodating and responsive to any other questions I had. The dish itself was very good and seasoned well. Also it wasn't overly oily like other places are. They give you a looot to work with (pictured) so I'll definitely be able to have my leftovers as another meal. The space itself is very clean and well lit. Overall had a great experience here with the staff and my meal, would definitely come again :) read more

Formosa Bento - Hainese chicken bento box - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Formosa Bento is located in a plaza with alot of other restaurants and shops, parking is easy, atleast when we went on Saturday night. They have a self-ordering kiosk and you can order at the counter as well. Staff is really friendly and attentive, we spoke to possibly the owner or manager who was really nice and made sure we could carry our large outer outside. They also provided us with a small QR code to take home in case we wanted to order online and arrive for pick up! There is a self-serve water and utensil station and plenty of seating. They have a really great variety of bento boxes that come with additional add-ons for a pretty good price (a cup of tea for a few dollars more for example) and there was a great variety of meats and vegetarian options to choose from. There are also options to order appetizers and a la carte options which was nice! We ordered 4 entrees and 3 sides and thought the price for what you get was incredible and very reasonable in today's society! Food review: Popcorn chicken - really good, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, small pieces of basil with whole chunks of garlic. Ginger scallion chicken bento - Really loved this dish! I think all the bentos are definitely worth it, you get like a sampler of a cabbage veggie dish with mushrooms, tomato egg, bok choy, and then the chicken with a side of rice. Perfection if you ask me! Everything on the plate was flavorful and complimentary. I really liked the chicken, it was well seasoned and delicious. Scallion oil noodles - really great portion, lots of noodles, it was savory and had really great wok hei with some soy sauce flavor as well. Cold cucumbers - as expected, really refreshing and crunchy Pork broth vegetable soup - I did not personally try this but the family member who ate it said it had a very clean taste, not too flavorful but it feels very healthy to consume. Shrimp fried rice - I also did not personally try this dish but the family members said there was not too much wok hei but it was still good and had a good amount of shrimp. Overall a great experience, we will definitely come back to get some delicious Taiwanese bento! Thank you Formosa! read more

Great place for lunch! Variety of side dishes on top of your main entree. Love how they different deals and catering options

only had 30min to grab dinner and saw the high reviews on this place. came in around 5pm on a Wednesday. only 1 table was filled. the place i clean and the lady immediately asked if I'm there to pickup, order to go, or sit down. then asked me to order from the colorful machine at the entrance. I like that all the menu item is large fonts and with a photo of what the meal looks like. very easy to navigate. I ordered a fried chicken bento. pickup at the counter, grabbed the cup and get your selection of drink: water, iced tea, or winter melon drink. both tea and melon drink are a little too sweet for me (I had to dilute them with water). the bento was large portion, came with 3 side dishes and a good portion of daily soup (I think it's vegetable clear soup today). the chicken was juicy and crispy with lots of flavor. the breading is a little too salty for my taste. for $16 for a whole meal, that I couldn't finish, is a great deal nowadays. I'll need to come back to try other menu items. read more

New fave restaurant alert! Just tried Formosa Bento in Chino Hills the day after their grand opening, and it was incredible.

Formosa Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Extremely convenient and highly delicious! If you choose to dine-in, the atmosphere is spacious, clean, and relaxing. The owner is very friendly/helpful while also politely maintaining his distance - which I love hahaha. Despite my many tries of Taiwanese foods, I thought I wasn't a fan, but this place absolutely changed my mind. When you come in, the (2) Kiosks to order your food is to your right. I ordered a simple Taiwanese Sausage Bento with Daikon/Carrot Soup with a side of Smashed Cucumber. I only had to wait approximately 10-15 mins. Once our food arrived I have to say it was all super comforting and delightful! The portions for the prices are very generous to the point where this will last me not just for lunch, but also for dinner and tomorrow's lunch as well. The cucumber salad is literally everything I'm looking for - cold, refreshing, and the perfect seasoning that isn't drenched in sauce/oil like other places. The soup is huge with a satisfying amount of carrot & daikon. You can clearly taste the MSG, but it isn't an overwhelming amount - it's just right. The bento itself is lovely - the side dishes are very tasty, not overly salty, and definitely not oily at all which is even better! Overall - 100% will come back again especially for lunch or dinner knowing my stomach won't turn on itself after eating and will be happily satiated! Thank you! :) read more
