Formosa Bakery & Kitchen

My husband picked up a few items from here (dumplings, pancake wrap, sesame chicken) for dinner, and it was all great! You can tell that Nancy takes a lot of pride in what she’s doing, and she cooks with love. So glad we found this place — we will definitely be back soon!

First time here and everything was delicious. I simple cannot wait for another pineapple bun We're vegetarian and there were several veggie options marked quite well on the menu, and the owner was very veggie conscious when we asked We also got mapo tofu and sesame vegetable cold noodle, and they were soo good! Seems very authentic, certainly DELICIOUS, and I'll 100% be back FYI, they're take out or pickup only and in the building behind the food trucks

What a wonderful, authentic Taiwanese restaurant! As vegetarians, we loved the Mapo Tofu and the sesame cold noodle. We also had a pineapple bun and it was delicious! Super hard to find so make sure you use the address on Google. Nancy's food is amazing and you can taste the authenticity!

This is a ghost kitchen setup so don't be deterred by the lack of signage or walking into what looks like a kitchen. The cook can be found in the back doing what she does best. Just walk in and find her. She makes traditional Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine to-go or catered. She does a great job sourcing her ingredients, avoiding many processes sugars and flowers or dyes. Large selection of savory dishes and baked desserts.

The food at Formosa is fantastic! My group got mapo tofu and eggplant dishes and they were both delicious. My favorite part were the baked goods though! The chiffon cake was light and not too sweet and the Taro bun was one of the best I've ever had! The restaurant is a little out of the way and doesn't have seating available, but the food is fantastic. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Take out only, but the food is amazing and the owner is beyond amazing!!!

Highly recommend for take out or delivery. They make delicious homemade soup dumplings and lightly batter & fry the sesame chicken. Tasty vegetarian dishes on the menu as well like the green beans and eggplant. Good prices and portion sizes - everything is made fresh to order. The location for pickup can be a little tricky to find the first time, but once you see unit C you’re in the right place. Vegetarian options: Green beans and eggplant dishes

we absolutely love Formosa! it is real-deal delicious taiwanese food at a very reasonable price. the owner, Nancy, is incredibly friendly and open. she sources fresh ingredients daily and each dish is a very special, intentional combination of flavors. i especially love the vegetarian congee and the pineapple cookies! heads up, Formosa is take-out only and you can order in-person but it is a bit hard to find -- the door is pretty non-descript in an alley of east pearl. don't give up, it's worth it!
