Editorial Review for Formosa Garden – by Retha Oliver
The Scene
Formosa Garden has the sort of interior you find in hotel restaurants, but what it lacks in style it makes up for in substance. Families from Alamo Heights fill the spacious dining room, as well as date-night duos. Service is generally cheerful and efficient, and the food is always freshly prepared.
The Food
Possessing one of the more traditional Chinese menus in town, Formosa Garden offers the classic laundry list of numbered dishes, most of which can be ordered without meat. The aromas and flavors of delicate steamed dumplings and egg-drop soup with corn permeate the sterile aesthetics and let you concentrate on the food.

A really great place to eat. I didnt feel slugish after eating here nor was I hungry 2 hours laters like at other chinese resteraunts. KUDOS on the MSG free! If your a sushi junki sit at the sushi bar -those ppl will help you decide from whats hot and whats not. I especially like the dragon rolls. the service is fast- available as well are private partie areas with your own personal chef- HAH-YHA! great menu selections and you can always share your meal w/ ur party-so for dinner you get have to get seperate portions everyone can have a taste of everything- if you prefer-that is. Great lunch specials and not to mention great dinner specials from 5-6:30. hope you visit Formosa Garden in SATX
Pros: MSG FREE
Cons: n/a

My pepper steak meal was more than $9.00 and it didn't taste great although it was edible. They don't let you substitute the white rice that comes with the meals for fried rice. You gotta pay an extra $1.50. The service is slow...we waited 20 minutes for our order to be take and the place wasn't even near crowded. They also wouldn't let us split the check among the 4 people in our party...they said they just don't do that. I had to pay extra for soup too...and omg, don't. Yuck. You might as well put corn in a blender and drink it. This place is way too overpriced and the staff is not helpful or friendly. My opinion: just go to Peng's China Town on Ingram.
Pros: seated promptly, kinda looks kinda nice
Cons: food isnt good, overpriced, unfriendly staff
