The food is great here. War won ton soup, mixed vegetables, chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, teriyaki skewers, egg rolls and crab cheese won tons are some of our favorites and they offer delivery after 4pm which is always super fast. Been going here for years and it has some of the(if not the) best Chinese food in the state!!!!!!!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Formosa Garden - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Food had good taste but came to the table barely room temperature and even ice cold in a few places. Definitely would have been better if it came out hot. Service was mediocre. Seems they only had one person for greeting guests, playing host, taking online orders, taking in house orders, bussing tables, and serving. This definitely impacted service and made it difficult to get something so simple as a glass of water refilled. Ambiance was nice. It was quiet. read more

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. read more

We have been customers since 2022. So we have seen the best and worst of this place. I think hard times have caught up to them as the quality of food isn't the same and they are cutting corners to probably make ends meet. The sweet and sour sauce is basically a gelatin like substance with all red dye 40 it looks crazy. The 6 dumplings come with sauce but they give you maybe a tbsp of sauce or everything and it's watered down. The food has always been hit or miss it depends on the day and who is working. When it's good it's really good but when it's bad it's inedible. This evening was the last straw. I normally get the sweet and sour soup and this time it smelt just like wet dog and tasted just the same. We thought ok no worries maybe a bad batch moved on the our lo mein and it was the same thing a pungent awful smell and tasting just as toxic. The people are kind and I hope this review helps turn things around as we have had more bad food than good this last year. read more

Great food. Loved the hot and sour soup. It is a nice quiet place for a dinner or lunch.

Take out order was ready on time. Friendly staff and good traditional dishes. Enjoyed the chicken lo-mein. Did not dine-in but dining room had a nice vibe. read more

I've been using this place for almost 2 decades, it used to be great food now it's pretty much just trash, meat was over-velveted and just mushy garbage, the egg drop soup was just trash and barely resembled egg drop soup, the crab cheese wontons were way over fried, the sweet and sour sauce was an red lump of gel. I am so disappointed, it was great for decades and now isn't worthy to even be thought of prison food. I've tried to find some merit to it, but it's just not worthy of any further effort on my part. I'm sure there's going to someone that likes mushy garbage of the lowest quality, but that's just not me. I will not being going back as there are just much better choices to get my business. read more

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

Formosa Garden was our go-to restaurant for takeout during the pandemic. We hadn't ordered from them for a couple of years until tonight and won't be doing so again. The best I can say about the food is that it was edible but nowhere near as good as before. We ordered 4 extra pancakes for the moo shu and were surprised when they charged $4 -- $1 per pancake seems excessive, even more so when they only gave us 3 extra. The fried rice was dry and bland with no apparent ingredients except rice. The moo shu filling was bland. My husband said the egg foo young was okay but not great. It's sad because this restaurant is very convenient for us but that doesn't make up for the mediocre food. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had reservation for 6 at 6:30 tonight for xmas eve. Seated right away but then took 1 hr to get someone to take our order. All the folks at other tables were waiting a long time too. What the restaurant was doing was pushing out online orders both pickup and delivery and the heck with seated customers. There were so many to go and delivery folks that they were lined up out the door holding it open so that all the heat left the building. The staff (all 3 or 4 of them) were fighting and yelling at each other. The owners nephew got mad at me ( finally got out of his seat and in my face) for complaining and told me to go talk to his uncle (the little old man) in the kitchen. This is a totally different place than it used to be. Oh and the food stinks so no great loss of our business to them ever again. read more

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. read more

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

Great food with reasonable prices and friendly service. Our new go-to Chinese restaurant!

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. read more

We did not receive the curry that we ordered. We got a random side of steamed vegetables.

This place is great! Love the small, family oriented setting, and the food and service was top notch. I got the pan Asian bowl and the lime cilantro sauce is absolutely amazing! Good place to go if you're sick of the run of the mill Chinese with no real flavor. Highly recommend! read more

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! read more

The Pad Thai portion was substantial and excellent! The Orange Chicken was also tasty. The delivery service was very fast.

I've been ordering from this restaurant for many years and it has always been great. Today, was different. Orrange chicken was like eating a shoe. Had a few bites and threw rest away. read more

My husband and I ordered the sesame chicken and beef general tso with "fried rice". The chicken and beef are extremely over cooked to the point it's difficult to chew. I actually had to spit it out. The fried rice was tossed in soy sauce, no eggs or veggies. However the hot and sour soup was great. read more

We had the sweet & sour chicken, sesame chicken, egg rolls, crap cheese Wong tongs, chicken fried rice. Everything was great, very fresh, full of flavor. This is our go to place always. We have never had a bad meal. Formosa Garden you all ROCK!! read more

Food used to be amazing. However the past 5 times have been disgusting. Chicken tasting completely different than usual. And soup completely watered down. Been going here for years but quality has went down. Won't be returning read more

Excellent food, great service, lovely atmosphere and extremely well priced. Will definitely return! read more

I don't usually do food reviews but felt I had to! The freshest and well package Chinese food in Aurora. The deliver service is very fast. We've been ordering biweekly for the last month. The food is very hot when it arrives, and the person delivering is very polite. read more

I think we've found a new favourite! Although we'll try a few more dishes before I make that call official. We ordered delivery tonight, after ordering online. Super easy. There's a great option to add a soup, crispy spring roll and 2 crab and cheese wontons to any entree for about $3. My husband and I both chose that option, and ordered steamed pot stickers for our son....soo much food! We have plenty for lunch tomorrow. Everything was tasty. The crispy duck was exactly that, very crispy. The chicken pad Thai was delicious, crispy spring rolls were good, crab and cheese wontons were thick and full. I got wonton soup and hubby got egg drop, both very enjoyable. Excited for the next order! read more

I used to eat here, but changed to Golden Wok. The reason , the food started tasting like dishwasher water smells. Not sure how but there you go. read more

It had been a while since I was at Formosa Garden. I ordered takeout. Unlike other Chinese places in the area the lunch special does NOT include soup so I ordered it separately. We got hot and sour soup, it was a gloopy broth with a little bit of tofu and an occasional piece of ground pork, some of the worst hot and sour soup I have had. We also got orange chicken and sesame chicken. They were exactly the same except the sesame chicken was sprinkled with a few seeds. No orange flavor at all. The "egg rolls" were cheap frozen vegetable spring rolls, greasy too. It was 12:30 and not a single customer in the place, now I know why. It was a big disappointment and we won't be back! They also add a 20% tip to take out orders with NO delivery. read more

A good choice if you're looking for a decent Americanized Chinese food place. You can trust me because I am a product of Chinese restaurant owners. I am super picky and I was satisfied with the flavors this place put in my mouf. Egg rolls were decent. Crispy. Not bland! Hot and sour soup was surprisingly good!!! My dad makes the best in the whole wide world so although I would have preferred less vinegar, I still think it was quite delicious! General tsos chicken. Could be crispier but the sweet and tangy flavor is on point. Combination Hong Kong noodles. Great flavor! I loved that the vegetables were actually cooked and quite tender. Give it a try! I don't think you'll be disappointed! I got a carry out order and it took only 15 minutes! They also deliver! read more

I got a bunch of delivery, and everything was packaged so well. The soup was separated into 4 different parts - the broth, the chicken, the vegetables and all the fixings. This lasted for three meals for me! I also got a bunch of apps and all of it was solid. Really nice, thoughtful place. read more

Love this place! The restaurant sits in an unassuming strip mall right off of Smoky Hill. If you're not looking for it, you'll definitely miss it. Good news though. If you see Dunkin Donuts, its right behind it off of Pheasant Run. There, I made it easy for you to find it. Service is wonderful and food is awesome. I ordered drunken noodles with beef as well as a hot and sour soup. My buddy David ordered Mu Shu chicken, another great dish. Everything came out hot. Everything came out flavorful. I didn't even need to tell them how spicy I wanted my dish. Its like they read my mind. I've been thinking about this place since Sunday when I went. I want to try more and excited to go back and see what else they have to offer! read more

This place is so good! I have been searching for a new go-to place for Chinese food and I have found it. The prices are very reasonable, the service is friendly and the food is very tasty. My boyfriend and I came in on a Friday evening and the place was mostly empty. Just a few tables were full so we were seated promptly. Service was excellent and our server gave us some ideas from the menu when we told her what kinds of dishes we like. We ordered the crab cheese wontons appetizer (8 for $5.95...excellent deal), the hong kong noodles with beef and lo mein with beef. We added on the combo to our meal which for an extra $2.95 you get a cup of soup, two egg rolls, two crab cheese wontons and a choice of steamed or fried rice. There was so much food and all of it was great! We are definitely coming back here again soon...lots of other dishes to try! read more

The food is awful. Don't waste your $$$$. No flavor, no depth of flavor and what you are served one time based on what you ordered is not what you get the next. read more

We ordered delivery...The food arrived super fast (between 30-40 mins). It was packaged so neat and orderly, the food was steaming hot, it was absolutely delicious! We got wontons, egg rolls, beef n broccoli, sesame chicken, spicy chicken, and a kids chicken skewer. Everything was really good! Highly recommend! read more

The food here is subpar. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want mall food-court grade Chinese food. It's not terrible, but I definitely wouldn't order again. read more

This is Always really good food. We have been eating here for 10 years. I always get delivery and it's hot and packaged near and tidy.
