    Been excited and patiently waiting for this restaurant to open when we saw news about this couple months ago. We went today during their soft opening and the place was packed! We tried about 9-10 different dishes and they were pretty good. The popcorn chicken reminded me of the ones I had in Taiwan. The spicy cold noodles were refreshing. The garlic cucumber tasted amazing. Didn’t intend on drinking any alcohol but Ivan’s special sounded good to us and we ordered. We were not disappointed! My friends tried their other cocktails and said they were amazing too. Hopefully as business grows we see oyster omelets, stinky tofu, other Taiwanese delicacies and street food of other regions too! Overall a chill place to have drinks and eat delicious food.

    I am blown away by the authenticity and flavor in everything that we got. Having lived in/visited Taiwan I have been on the look out for a taste of home and today my prayers were answered. We got the beef noodles, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, crispy green beans and milk tea. I loved every single dish. We were able to order immediately and got some of our food within a minute or two. I would say about 2 dishes a person is enough, my husband and I shared the four that we got. I am excited to see what other dishes Ivan adds to the menu soon!

    We really enjoyed trying Formosa for the first time this weekend! The food choices were pretty unique . We ended up ordering four items and sharing them. They were all really delicious and were served quickly. The service was also great. We were a little surprised about the cost for some items but overall we really enjoyed coming here.

    Right after work I hurried to try this wonderful new spot. In between Honey Bunny Biscuits and Tower Theater on 23rd street Formosa is in a perfect spot. I see this as a great happy hour or late night spot after a show. This can be a quick one person meal or a large group sharing many different plates. I went by myself so that I could really concentrate on the food. Everything bit of it was delicious. The Crab Rangoons were crispy, creamy, and sweet. The Pork Soup Dumplings were small, but they pack a ton of flavor. And the Beef and Rice was light, tender, and tasty. I added a little chili oil sauce to give it a kick, but it is fine without. I will definitely be back to try all their dishes!

    The food here is amazing! First time here so we tried the soup dumplings, pork sausage, shrimp dumplings, Formosa chicken chop, and the calamari. All were absolutely delicious. The shrimp dumpling was my favorite, it is in a really tasty chili oil. The chicken chops and calamari were cooked just right and had the right amount of crisp and seasoning in the batter. Had the Paloma and the 23rd St Mule for drinks. The Paloma was strong but tasty and the Mule was made perfectly! Definitely will return to this cute little place. Lots of parking on the other side of the street and there is outside seating which is nice for the summer!

    This is another one of OKC’s hidden food gems. The food was served fast and was absolutely delish. It was familiar yet unique in flavor. The vibe absolutely checks out, and the location is great. Anyone who lives in the area or even visiting should absolutely check this place out it’s well worth your time.

    The basil popcorn chicken is one of the best things I've ever eaten. It is so incredibly flavorful and tender. Perfectly moist. All of the food I've tried there is really good. I ordered at the counter. Everyone in my party got two or three items and we shared. The atmosphere was nice. The employees were helpful.

    I was really impressed with this place! Delicious food and everything had great flavor. So happy we decided to try this place on a whim. They also had an assortment of drinks. We shared these food choices amongst 3 people and It was enough food.

    By far a most unique dining experience I've had in a while. The food is amazing and Ivan has crafted many signature twists on his dishes. The basil popcorn chicken is delightful along with the cold summer string beans. Also, don't forget to wash it down with some creamy black tea with lychee jelly, but if that's not your thing they have some great handmade cocktails available for you to choose from instead. Ivan and his staff are so wonderful and courteous.

    Yummy place to have an Asian tapas-like meal. We ordered 5 different items for three of us and left satisfied. My favorite items were both the shrimp and pork dumplings in chili oil. This is definitely such a cute OKC place to take guests! Parking is street parking in a very busy area so get there with enough time to find a place to park.

    The Basil Popcorn Chicken is wonderful. The Pork Soup Dumplings were good, but the Shrimp Dumplings were PERFECT. Not a fan of the Beef Meat Sauce Noodles because the noodles were a overdone. Overall great food though. The popcorn chicken and shrimp dumplings will have us coming back for sure!

    The food is great. I went with the Chicken Pot Stickers which were amazing. Plenty of flavor. The Beef Meat Sauce Rice Bowl was also quality. The best part of that meal was the rice, it was perfectly cooked. Finally, the Fried Buns with Condensed Milk is *chefs kiss*. A little crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, combined with the condensed milk it's great.

    This bar boasts a very flavorful menu of small bites. I couldn't help but order several dishes to try as much of the menu as possible! I believe that you can't go wrong with anything they serve. My favorites were the basil popcorn chicken, spicy cold noodles, and the shrimp soup dumplings. I can't wait to go back again and try more food! This feels like a perfect place to hang out, drink and eat with friends
