    Close substitute to the sizzling plates you can find at Taiwanese night markets! Great value for the size and quality. Comfort Asian food right here that's legit and no frills!

    Found this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews. I have to say the reviews were true. The chicken & pasta on the sizzling plate was super authentic and delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing and exceeded our expectations. So glad that we found this gem in the neighborhood. Will definitely come back again soon.

    Having spent 18 years of my life in Taiwan, I have to say I am very happy with the food here. We ordered the teppan meal dual set with fish and pork as this Taiwanese item is hard to find in most Taiwanese restaurants. If you're not familiar with what a Taiwanese teppan is, it's basically a cooked piece of meat served on a cast iron plate (called a teppan, which literally means "iron board") with spaghetti noodles and a sunny side up egg. This is served alongside a choice of black pepper or mushroom sauce on the side, which you then drizzle over your food prior to digging in. This teppan meal is always prefaced with a bowl of corn soup, a lettuce salad with a thousand island-like dressing, and garlic toast. Needless to say, formosan restaurant did this just like in Taiwan! We got our corn soup, thousand island dressed lettuce, as well as garlic toast first. Then after we had finished munching on our appetizers, the sizzling hot teppan plate arrived with the sauce on the side. I was so excited they did it right (not to mention super nostagic)! Our pork and fish meat were both seasoned well (not overly salty, since it's meant to be eaten with sauce) and cooked right. There was no tough or chewy meats here. Wonderful! The only one slight modification I would make is that I found my mixed sauce a tad on the sweet end. Nevertheless, it was still tasty. After we had finished 90% of our meal, my friend still wanted a few more items so we added chili oil wonton, and pork braised rice (lwu rou fan), both were delicious and hard to stop eating. Our party of three left very satisfied. On top of that, we felt very taken care of as our waitress was super diligent about keeping our waters refilled, checking up on us, and clearing out empty plates. This is the least Taiwanese thing about this place, haha, but in a good way of course. Can't wait to come back!
