I have loved this place for many years and thought its about time I wrote a review. This Chinese restaurant has some of the most authentic, highest quality Chinese food in the area. Our family lived in China for a year back in 1996 and the cooking techniques remind me more than any other other Chinese restaurant in the area of the food in we were able to get in China. For example, Chinese Pea Shoots (Dou Miao), delicately stir-fried with garlic are often available for the asking and the Sautéed Shanghai Greens and Sautéed String Beans are also excellent. One thing we often miss in completely Americanized Chinese restaurants are the vegetables...we can get what we crave, skillfully cooked, at Formosa Taipei. Another dish that I can never get enough of is the Ko-Cha Dish, a magical combination of pork, squid, dried tofu with vegetables and a spicy black bean sauce...I feel I'm right back there in China with this one. I enjoy many of the appetizers as well such as the delicate various Steamed Dumplings, pork being a favorite of course but I also much enjoy the shrimp and vegetarian, the key being here that the dumpling skins are not overly thick as is often the case in some restaurants here. Also the Salt and Pepper Chicken is not to be missed; spicy and salty but not saucy. I've saved the best for last, the Spicy Noodles in Soup with Beef Sirloin. This dish is incredible. They must slow-cook the meat for many, many hours to tenderize it so and to make such a good soup stock; its just incredible. I have never had its equal anywhere else. Most restaurants seem to just shave some beef into the soup and cook it a little. If you have ever made stock and/or stew you'll know that this will not give you a satisfying broth. These are just examples. I continue to find new things I much enjoy on the menu. I strongly recommend picking at least something from the Authentic Traditional Chinese section.
