Formosa Restaurant

For Wakefield, this place is a Gem in the rough! The standard American Chinese food menu... HOWEVER the specialty dishes are really VERY good. I am from Hong Kong originally (resident of Wakefield since 1978), so I really know my Chinese food. The Hot sour Soup is delicious. My Mummy is originally from Shanghai and we have ordered a quart of Hot Sour Soup to take home to her. Try the Curry Chicken with mixed vegetables, Jumbo shrimp with cashews, Soft Ma Pu Tofu with ground pork, the House Special Chow Fun, the Yu Hsiang Eggplant House Chow Fun, Spicy Chicken Wings (the small is big), Spring rolls and I will keep adding as we try more. All these dishes were flavorful and my wife really enjoyed. Portions were fantastic and the service was decent. The decor is very simple as well as the booth seating. My theory is, we are here to EAT 😊

Have tried them multiple times. Chicken wings always have pink meat. Long black hair in dinner tonight. Ordered and was charged for 3 extra duck sauce. Not given any extra. Ordered pea pods once never received them. $30 bill, unable to eat 1/8 of it. Under cook food. We won't be go back. Hate to be down on a local business. Sorry

Absolutely fantastic all around- food, service, pricing, etc. Every item of food was piping hot. Could tell it had just been made. Portions were more than generous. We had enough left over for 2 more meals. Quiet neighborhood place nestled in a quiet Wakefield neighborhood. Service was top-notch, too, and the staff very pleasant. Highly recommend this place...!

Warning! This use to be my favorite Chinese food restaurant. It has apparently changed hands. I have ordered from here since the new owners have taken over and the quality of the food is not as good. Recently however we decided to give them another shot and placed an order for a house fried rice and a crispy shrimp. I brought it home and started to plate the rice and came across a used bandaid in the container. I was disgusted and immediately brought the food back. I didn’t even get an apology. They asked if I would like a replacement to which I said I want a full refund, which they did give me. I did not cause a scene but I will not be returning.
