    Sloppy and uncooked.
    Julian P.

    Ordered pan fried noodles, I didn't realize they'd end up basically like a pack of uncooked Ramen noodles; hard as a rock and crunchy, on top of vegetables that weren't cooked, the meat was okay, the shrimp tasted old to me, and im a cook that has worked with shrimp. The egg rolls were very basic, as though they came in frozen and were cooked off in a dirty fryer. Highly overpriced and the wait time was long. Hopefully my dog can eat the rest because I surely cannot.

    Got a big portion of food under the family meal for two.We got two servings out of our leftovers. Everything was very fresh! I judge many places off their fried rice and it's safe to say this place has a pretty good one! You can tell the restaurant been around a long time and staff is very attentive.

    dinner here was awesome. staff were nice. they were a bit slow to take our orders though, but otherwise fine. the food options were great. from dim sum to main entrees to sushi. the edamame was tasty. loved the sesame balls, bbq pork buns, and rolls. the drinks were also good and happy hour prices were decent. the area is big with large round tables throughout. there's a hibachi station at the end for anyone wanting a more immersive experience. also love the fish tanks in the entrance

    We got the Early bird special, it was just how I remember it. LEMON chicken was fried to perfection not too hard/crispy. HOT EGG DROP SOUP. And an egg drop soup. Recommend coming for the special so you won't pay full price.

    Super wonton soup.

    Fast, friendly, and delicious. Never disappointed in fermosa garden. Nothing else to say

    Food is constantly excellent since I've been coming for the past 10+ years. Tempura veggies are incredibly delicate and delicious. Wonderful servers.

    We eat here for lunch probably every other week and have always had consistent and good service. They are quick to seat and quick to serve. The food is always good and very consistent. They have a teppan area, but we have not tried that yet. Their sushi bar is good as well. It is a "typical" Chinese restaurant with the fish tank and darker ambiance, but it is clean and well maintained. The parking lot is in dire need of resurfacing and restriping

    Triple Delight
    Donny V.

    Solid four stars. I recently stayed at a nearby hotel and tried this place. The place was a bit empty but I did show up at four, maybe it's busier during regular lunch time? Anyway I had the triple delight which is a stir fry type dish with a side of egg drop soup. The service was okay and the food was okay. I don't regret going here and would recommend in a pinch, especially those staying in nearby hotels.

    Teriyaki Chicken and Pad Thai
    Nayra B.

    Delicious Chinese food for such a good price! This restaurant had such a fun vibe and was filled with a whole bunch of Chinese motifs and decor. With the stone statues, red paper lanterns, and Hanzi mixed in with neon lighting and massive fish tank, there's quite a bit to catch your eye while you're there. Our server was excellent in every way, was very attentive to us and the other tables that she was taking care of, and so was sweet during our visit. The food was insanely good and every dish we ordered was so unexpectedly large, leaving us with an ample amount of just as delicious leftovers to take home with us. We started off with the Pork BBQ Buns appetizer and they were steamed so deliciously well. The bun itself was soft and melted in my mouth, and the bbq flavor wasn't overbearing but gave just the right amount of tangy sweetness to the pulled pork. Shortly after we'd finished the Buns, our meal was brought out to us, and there were serving spoons with both dishes so we could try a little bit of both. The chicken in the Teriyaki Chicken super tender and fell apart in my mouth, the sweetness of the teriyaki balanced out by the slight bitterness of the crunchy snow peas. The Steamed White Rice we ordered with it was also super fluffy and tasted great with the leftover teriyaki sauce. The noodles in the Pad Thai were also exceptionally light but held the sauce excellently for a mouthful of flavor with each bite. Lemon wedges were served with it to add some extra zest if wanted, but they ended up being unused because we thought the dish was delicious without them. The chicken was tender in this one as well and the shrimp were satisfyingly plump and juicy. There was also enough egg in the noodles to be considered a third main form of protein in this dish, and they were so fluffy and tasted SO good with the sauce. The peanuts topping the noodles were also cooked perfectly and gave a satisfying, but not too crunchy, crunch along with the sautéed veggies. I'm absolutely looking forward to my next visit and can't wait to try their hibachi menu as well. Just make sure you have a reservation for the hibachi grill as it is by reservation only. I'd definitely recommend giving Formosa Garden a visit so you can experience a delicious meal too!

It was coated with flour like fried chicken instead of corn starch which it should be Couldn't taste the black bean sauce although the sauce was strong Sweet and sour soup was full of good items but so much pepper it made me cough Soups are in tiny cups they call small bowls White rice is good and sticky Shrimp with lobster sauce is nothing like it should be, mostly corn and tasteless, I mean tasteless like water Not the usual recipe others serve. The beef rice noodles were like I would make from a reg pan at home without, again, taste. They need that wok taste but it's not there So disappointed, not cheap either , easily $18 a plate Place was clean and looked decent but what good is that if the food is lousy?

I eat all kinds of meat. So I always order the pork and chive dumplings :D ! Whether you come in on a weekday or weekend, it always helps to come early if you can! If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating. It's a great restaurant to catch up with friends, family or even colleagues over a good meal :) ! The parking lot out in front is a pretty decent size. But it can fill up pretty quickly when it gets busy! We also love ordering frozen dumplings to go :D ! For sure, we will definitely come back :D ! Kung Fu Noodle never disappoints :) !

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.
