Formosa Chinese Restaurant 62 Main Street, Amherst, MA 01002

"The food deserves 5 stars! My sesame chicken and my husband's orange chicken were so good!! Taking it down a star for the service. We felt a little neglected during our time there. We didn't even know who our server was because it was four different people who came to our table over the course of our meal. Our water glasses were only checked once, after being empty for a while, and I didn't get my appetizer until my main course was almost gone. Would like to go back sometime though, for the food, and maybe we would get served better."

"As an Asian American, I love spicy food and this Mapo dofu （麻婆豆腐） at Formosa has the flavours and spice levels that always satisfy my cravings! Love the spices and ratio of tofu to sauce, not too oily. Plus free bowl of rice and can ask for no meat added. Dumplings are great too. Not a fried food fan so no comment on any of the deep fried food (crab Rangoon, chicken fingers, egg roll, fortune cookie, etc.). Highly recommend this restaurant as it offers both westernised Chinese food and more traditional offerings (finally!)"

"Beef with Mung Bean Sprouts is a satisfying blend of taste and texture, with chunks of beef mixed with fresh and crunchy bean sprouts, alongside sauteed green onions; consumed with brown rice, it's an irresistibly healthy and delicious option for Chinese cuisine."

"I've been here twice so far and I've ordered the szechuan soft shell crab, the beef tongue appetizer, and the beef and tomato hotpot w/ bean noodles. All were delicious. The crab was my favorite, soft on the inside crunchy on the outside and so so spicy while still being incredibly flavorful. This restaurant has a classy atmosphere, and many fun and interesting dishes. Even dad loved it and he's incredibly picky. Can't wait to come back and sample more from this menu."

"The appetizers were all great, especially the scallion pancakes and buns. The pan soup dumplings were also good. Were the meal lost momentum was the main course, everything was good just not as amazing as the pre game. Nice service and beautiful restaurant."
