Formosa Garden

My favorite Chinese restaurant in San Antonio, great atmosphere, great Chinese food, lunch specials as well as early bird dinner specials. Also available for private parties are hibachi stations which I highly recommend for birthdays and other special occasions. The service is always very attentive and prompt. Sushi menu/bar is also available.

This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. The Wonton soup wasn't salty. The 2 wontons were double stuffed with filling. Portion size was just right. The Lemon chicken breading is light and sticks to the chicken. The Lemon sauce isn't too sour and when you add hot oil its a perfect combo for a sweet and spicy kick. Service has improved drastically in the last few months. Rayeann was very kind and attentive! Our food came out quickly and even the sushi was made in a timely manner!

One of our favorite places for Asian cuisine. We’ve enjoyed this establishment for over 15 years. Service is always good and the food has always been top notch. What we really appreciate however, is that they DO NOT use MSG in the cooking. An ingredient that every other Asian cuisine establishment can’t seem to cook without. My wife is extremely allergic to the additive. So it’s wonderful for her to be able to enjoy her favorite cuisine, without the worry of triggering a migraine after. One of our favorite orders before dinner is the Las Vegas roll. Refreshing with just the right amount of spice. You can’t go wrong stopping in for lunch, dinner, or enjoying a large get together in their private party room.

Ok, my wife and i were looking for a chinesse food restaurant closer to the airport and decided to give this one a try. It has a lot of parking, and i guess because of the time it was not that packed, 9pm friday night. As you come in, it looks pretty nice, kind of like a chinesse chilis, a drink bar, a tv with the news, a tv with a footbal game and another with a show, and the tables are well acomodated. It took the waiter a little bit to show up, handed the menus, we told him it was our first time there so he could recommend a plate, nothing, asks for the drinks and after 3 minutes he comes back ready to take the order. I told him to give us a couple of minutes more, as i was undecided on what plate to try. I was going to order a plate but we decided to go with the dinner for two. Waiter comes back, and we ordered the dinner for two, but wanted to make a change on the plates, and the waiter says, No, you can only change one plate !... with an attitude, my wife then says, ok, but here on the menu reads you can pay the difference, and he said no you have to get what says there, showing no empathy. My wife then orders the original plates weve decided and tells him, this is our first time here, at least you could tell us in a different way. After waiting for not too long, he brings the plates, really nice hot food, excellent taste, but when it got cold, taste kind of faded. Waiter did not showed up at the table after delivering the plates to see if we were doing fine, until i gave a loud sip to my drink so he could hear it to give me a refill, then i asked for the check. Food was good, service not so good, atmosphere is nice. Price on our plates not too expensive. Not sure if will come back later.

It's almost like a hole-in-the wall but once inside you'll be glad you stopped! The atmosphere is definitely some stereotypical Chinese restaurant atmosphere with a Koi tank, a long sushi/alcohol bar, and decorations. Very clean though, not crowded and comfortable. We went during the beginning of lunch and were sat promptly. Our server initially only had us, but picked up 2 more tables with no issue. Absolutely excellent service! Very attentive and didn't have to ask him for anything, he was on top of it all! Lunch prices are very fair and you still get a lot of food for the money. I got the sesame chicken on the lunch menu. Came out very hot (so be careful at first) with just the right amount of rice and an egg roll. We also got the egg drop soup which I'm told was perfect. Didn't have to wait long on the check, but he did check with us first to make sure we were good to go. Two of us for lunch with the soup and 2 lunches entrees were about $25. Definitely plan on going again!

I ordered the chow mein thinking I’ll get noodles but it’s beef and Broccoli, they tried to tell me the chips were the chow mein but when do you ever order noodles and not get noodles. If that’s true they need to tell the customer if it’s noodles or not because if not I will order the lo mien, everything is amazing but don’t order chow mein if you want noodles lol
