    Great food, haven't had such a great Chinese food for a while everything we tried was amazing, service was great, hot and sour soup, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, lo mein, fried rice the best,

    Good place to go after a movie or music in Amherst. Spacious and good food. Very good food for Chinese American.

    My favorite place to get fiqifeipian!!! I am a fienddd for this dish and will get it without fail everytime. Outside of this specific order, I try to change up the dishes I order every time I go. Overall, there isn't much too crazy to write home about with but all dishes are decently yummy. The prices are a little steep for the quality but in this economy, most prices are. Besides food, the lighting in the restaurant is a little dim for my liking but otherwise fine. The service is really good, there is this one waiter who is incredibly polite and sweet, making dining in a really pleasant experience. Would come back again!!

    This place was average. Sushi was pretty good but the Chinese food was not. I had ma Po tofu with pork, there was no pork, just huge chunks of tofu in a greasy, salty sauce. Most of our food didn't come home with us. Service was quick. It's your average run of the mill Asian restaurant with booths and tables. It was busy.

    Super good food and drinks. Perfect prices for those not trying to break the bank. My only complaint is service. Our server was god awfully rude. Not sure how you expect a good tip when you're rude and try to kick people out when the restaurant is still open for 30+ minutes.

    My friends and I came here after a long morning in school. It was around 2pm on a Saturday and the place was surprisingly not packed at all. We were seated and we had a waiter come by to take our orders almost immediately. The servers we had were super accommodating, prompt with taking our orders, and even asked to refill our waters when our glasses started getting low. Our food came and honestly, they weren't the best. Though two of my party enjoyed their plates, me and another friend weren't a big fan of their sushi and dumplings. For one, the dumplings were super dry and way too doughy. Though my sushi was good, I felt like I definitely overpaid for only 6 rolls. The presentation was nice but I could have paid less for the same dish at a different restaurant. Though we had great service here, I don't think I'll be coming back given me feeling as though the price points. Other than that, there was a private parking lot and there's a male/female bathroom inside. The staff were friendly and the restaurant seemed relatively clean on the inside and outside.

    Lunch specials price can't be beat and the service was good; the only thing is all dishes were way too salty! I felt dizzy with each bite.

It has a traditional looking interior with wooden plaques around. I would have to recommend getting wontons no matter what dish you get, the sauce is so good and we were picking at the peanuts. I got my favorite Hot n Spicy noodles, this was a little more sour than I remembered so if you don't like sour soups I wouldn't recommend. The Dan Dan Noodles were great although could use a little more sauce. The cucumber dish was good, a little small but was refreshing to eat.

Half the restaurant seats (the right side) were empty. I was given a small table near the entrance and I asked for a larger table, since I planned on ordering quite a few dishes to try. The maître d' said "No", that they reserve those seats for four people. I completely understand if the restaurant was busy or expecting more people. I said, no, I would be leaving. I was allowed to leave. After all, he had no stake in the revenue. But I hope the owners will take notice of this. You have lost a customer, and likely a repeat customer. In addition, whatever happened to service and accommodating customers, especially when it costs nothing in this situation.

We shared several dishes: salt & pepper squid, eggplant in garlic sauce, and roast pork & duck over rice. All were very tasty and satisfying. Staff is welcoming and friendly.

    I apologize to every Asian cuisine in Amherst, including the now defunct Arigato Sushi, because…read moreFormosa Chinese, formerly Amherst Chinese, still provides service and food that are incredible and deserve state-wide recognition. 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.

The…read morespace is simple, with small tables and picture menus covering the walls, but that just adds to its charm. Everything is made fresh to order from the thick, hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, and scallion pancakes. Ordering is quick and casual. You place your order at the back right counter when you walk in (for dine-in or takeout), and the cashier also acts as your server. If you order a noodle soup, they'll ask if you want green onions and/or cilantro. After that, just grab any open table and relax. We ordered a variety of dishes. Appetizers: Scallion pancakes: (3/5) nice crispy pancakes with scallions. Dumplings with pork and leeks: (3/5) tender dumplings filled with pork and some leeks Spicy stewed beef noodle soup: (4/5) thick hand pulled noodles in a savory broth topped with vegetables like bok choy and mushroom and some tender beef Hot and sour vermicelli soup: (4/5) very tangy savory broth with tender vermicelli noodle and ground pork. Medium spicy level Biang Biang noodles with pork: (4/5) their signature hand-pulled noodles are sautéed in a medium spicy sauce with pork. Overall this place hits the spot for an authentic Chinese meal without the glitz and glamour.

    Super solid place to go for Chinese food. My boyfriend and I ordered 3 dishes to go and they were…read moreprepared really quickly. The mapo tofu and sweet and sour pork were lunch specials, under 12 dollars each! The calamari was much pricier in comparison, over 20 dollars by itself. My favorite was the mapo tofu, it was so flavorful and paired wonderfully with the rice. The food was packed into each of the containers as well, which allowed us to eat until we were stuffed while still having so much food leftover.

    1 Star -- The Worst Chinese Food in Amherst (and That's Saying Something!)…read more I ordered the "All Day Combo" General Tso's Chicken with Vegetable Fried Rice for lunch -- and wow, I wish I hadn't. The portion was pathetic: maybe five tablespoons of pre-cooked fried rice and five tiny, shriveled pieces of chicken (smaller than nuggets!) that were clearly reheated leftovers. The chicken was tough, dry, and chewy -- like biting into old rubber. And the price? $12.70 for what? A sad excuse for a meal. Absolutely no value, no freshness, and no effort whatsoever. This was hands-down the worst Chinese food I've ever had in Amherst -- and possibly anywhere. Located on College Street, this place needs to do some serious soul-searching about what they're serving people. If you value your money (and your taste buds), stay far, far away. This wasn't lunch -- it was a culinary insult in a takeout box. Save yourself the disappointment. Just don't.
