Been going there for several years the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious and the service is pretty fast.

Ordered pan fried noodles, I didn't realize they'd end up basically like a pack of uncooked Ramen noodles; hard as a rock and crunchy, on top of vegetables that weren't cooked, the meat was okay, the shrimp tasted old to me, and im a cook that has worked with shrimp. The egg rolls were very basic, as though they came in frozen and were cooked off in a dirty fryer. Highly overpriced and the wait time was long. Hopefully my dog can eat the rest because I surely cannot. read more

Grabbed takeout the other night and it was pretty solid! Ordered a mix of sushi rolls and a couple of hot dishes. Everything was ready on time and packed up neatly with enough chopsticks, sauces, and napkins! The sushi was fresh and tasted good. it was presented well too in the take out boxes. The hot dishes were flavorful and still warm by the time I got home. Portions were great too!! especially the hot dishes Ordering was super easy online, and pick-up was quick. Staff was friendly when I walked in to grab the bag. Overall, it's a great option when you want something tasty and easy without dealing with a long wait or dine-in crowd. Would totally order again! read more

Started off great, ended with a huge disappointment. My first experience was good, so I decided to order again--this time through DoorDash. I called the restaurant to confirm my order, and the first person said he couldn't see it. I repeated my name and raised my voice out of frustration, and we ended the call. I called back and someone (maybe the same person) was able to confirm the order. I asked for the chicken to be fried hard so it wouldn't be soggy by the time it got to me, and I also requested extra BBQ sauce. Unfortunately, the only "extra" I received this time was a hair in my food. That completely ruined the meal. Disappointed, especially after such a good first impression. read more

Got a big portion of food under the family meal for two.We got two servings out of our leftovers. Everything was very fresh! I judge many places off their fried rice and it's safe to say this place has a pretty good one! You can tell the restaurant been around a long time and staff is very attentive. read more

dinner here was awesome. staff were nice. they were a bit slow to take our orders though, but otherwise fine. the food options were great. from dim sum to main entrees to sushi. the edamame was tasty. loved the sesame balls, bbq pork buns, and rolls. the drinks were also good and happy hour prices were decent. the area is big with large round tables throughout. there's a hibachi station at the end for anyone wanting a more immersive experience. also love the fish tanks in the entrance read more

It has been a bit since I have been here back in the 80's and it is not at all the same. We were seated right away on Friday evening, and our server attended to us right away. The place is nice and open, but it can get loud. Their menu is has pretty good options, but not if you are looking for gluten free, very limited even with sushi! And NO gluten free soy sauce and they made no accommodations and wanted to change me extra for a small portion of teriyaki sauce! I could not believe they wanted to charge me for sauce when they don't provide gluten free soy sauce. Our server was no help. I don't understand, how now in these days when gluten free is everywhere this place does nothing to make accommodations. I will not be going back there. read more

I warned the staff and management that my daughter has a severe egg allergy. Despite this, she was served food that caused a serious allergic reaction. When she told them what was happening, staff dismissed her and said she was "making it up." When I called the restaurant to report the incident, the manager was rude, made excuses, and hung up on me. Their handling of this situation was careless and negligent. Food allergies are life-threatening, and this restaurant failed to take proper precautions to protect a customer's health. I will be reporting this incident to the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District for investigation. read more

Recommend: This used to be the go to place for my co-workers several years ago and it wasn't my fav place to eat. I went back recently because a friend asked to met there and the place is just as I remembered it and why I don't come back. Ambiance: The place is very dark, old looking, seems like the carpets have been there for ever. Honestly feels a little depressing. Service: The service was good. Waitress was fast and attentive. Food: I ordered the sesame chicken, it was like warm, too sweet, and drowning in sauce. I couldn't eat it. The rice was a little "tough" and had no flavor. *I didn't get a chance to take pictures. read more

Came in on a Saturday night and was sat immediately. This place has a pretty big dining room area, they also have hibachi tables in the back but they are separated by glass for their own room. Our server was friendly & very attentive. We got sushi & the Mongolian beef, sorry no pictures phone ate last this time haha, we were starving. One cool thing to note that I did see, they have a sign on their front doors that state they do not use msg in any of their cooking. So for anyone that needs that, this place is for you! read more

We eat here for lunch probably every other week and have always had consistent and good service. They are quick to seat and quick to serve. The food is always good and very consistent. They have a teppan area, but we have not tried that yet. Their sushi bar is good as well. It is a "typical" Chinese restaurant with the fish tank and darker ambiance, but it is clean and well maintained. The parking lot is in dire need of resurfacing and restriping read more

Solid four stars. I recently stayed at a nearby hotel and tried this place. The place was a bit empty but I did show up at four, maybe it's busier during regular lunch time? Anyway I had the triple delight which is a stir fry type dish with a side of egg drop soup. The service was okay and the food was okay. I don't regret going here and would recommend in a pinch, especially those staying in nearby hotels. read more

Delicious Chinese food for such a good price! This restaurant had such a fun vibe and was filled with a whole bunch of Chinese motifs and decor. With the stone statues, red paper lanterns, and Hanzi mixed in with neon lighting and massive fish tank, there's quite a bit to catch your eye while you're there. Our server was excellent in every way, was very attentive to us and the other tables that she was taking care of, and so was sweet during our visit. The food was insanely good and every dish we ordered was so unexpectedly large, leaving us with an ample amount of just as delicious leftovers to take home with us. We started off with the Pork BBQ Buns appetizer and they were steamed so deliciously well. The bun itself was soft and melted in my mouth, and the bbq flavor wasn't overbearing but gave just the right amount of tangy sweetness to the pulled pork. Shortly after we'd finished the Buns, our meal was brought out to us, and there were serving spoons with both dishes so we could try a little bit of both. The chicken in the Teriyaki Chicken super tender and fell apart in my mouth, the sweetness of the teriyaki balanced out by the slight bitterness of the crunchy snow peas. The Steamed White Rice we ordered with it was also super fluffy and tasted great with the leftover teriyaki sauce. The noodles in the Pad Thai were also exceptionally light but held the sauce excellently for a mouthful of flavor with each bite. Lemon wedges were served with it to add some extra zest if wanted, but they ended up being unused because we thought the dish was delicious without them. The chicken was tender in this one as well and the shrimp were satisfyingly plump and juicy. There was also enough egg in the noodles to be considered a third main form of protein in this dish, and they were so fluffy and tasted SO good with the sauce. The peanuts topping the noodles were also cooked perfectly and gave a satisfying, but not too crunchy, crunch along with the sautéed veggies. I'm absolutely looking forward to my next visit and can't wait to try their hibachi menu as well. Just make sure you have a reservation for the hibachi grill as it is by reservation only. I'd definitely recommend giving Formosa Garden a visit so you can experience a delicious meal too! read more

A Heartbreaking Decline After 12 Years Formosa Gardens used to be my go-to for Asian cuisine in San Antonio. My family and I have been loyal customers for over a decade. But during my last visit on 9/24/2025, I was served raw chicken wings--not once, but twice. When I asked to speak with the manager (referred to as "Leo"), he dismissed the issue, blamed the cook, refused to give his name, and walked away. I was stunned. Thankfully, the server and another staff member apologized, but the manager's behavior was cold and unprofessional. I'm heartbroken to say I won't be back. This place used to feel like home. read more

It's been better. I've been to Formosa Garden ple try of times. Once upon a time, it was a go to for Asian food. Today, the quality of food was lacking. Three stars for service. Mike was an excellent server and anticipated our every need. I ordered the combination lo mein. It tasted okay, and then maybe not. The shrimp in the lo mein tasted over cooked or precooked. The noodles tasted starchy and heavy on the soy sauce. The broccoli tasted good though :) My mom ordered the seafood delight, it came out fine. The shrimp didn't taste so bad, and this dish wasnt half bad - for a steamed seafood and vegetables dish. Three stars for Mike. Thanks for the great service. read more

Formosa Garden - Combo lo mein - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

$15.95 plus tax, tip, and delivery ... with NO WHITE RICE with my order... I am not happy. I'm in a medical study this week. They paid for the meal, and are regular customers. Usual an order can be around 20-30 meals to go. I was told I was the only one that ordered white rice and that white rice was the only missing rice. Also disappointed not to have soy sauce or an egg roll included with my dinner. I would think for $20+ meal, I would get more than this little plastic container. I was also told that for some reason this restaurant never includes plasticware or condiments in their take out which makes it inconvenient for the team as they have to keep back up when this happens. I'm not normally the person that comes to Yelp to complain, but after seeing the cost of meal, I flipped! read more

Unfortunately we did not enjoy. My husband ordered Chicken w Black Bean and I ordered Triple Delight I will rename to Triple Disgust. The shrimp was rubbery and fishy and as far as the beef-are we sure that's beef it was some weird form of mush meat the chicken passable, the broccoli was not cooked and the sauce was globby. On the rice someone they accomplished a combination of lumpy and uncooked? Husbands was the same read more

This is a SA staple and I finally made it a go-to of mine this year. Regardless of whether you come during weekday lunch, Christmas Eve, after church, or anytime between, the entire experience is consistent. Food is always hot and served quickly. Staff is always attentive and has a welcoming attitude. Dining room is clean and well-organized. Only things I'd improve upon are the bathrooms and hibachi offering; not sure if or when that's available. read more

Over 30 years I've been comming here on special occasions. This place needs a reset, badley! To start with on Mother's day at noon the rice should not be spoiled! Their go to dish of Tripple delight was good but the rice was rank and the egg rolls were soggy. They should have been crisp especially with only 1 per an order. Think about it, this place has been open for at least 35 years and maybe longer. They should have thousands of reviews, not jist 3 or 4 hundred. Too many other good places out there to be wasting your time on past successful places that don't care. Lastly, my waiter had 6 tables of over 4 or more people at once. My tea was delivered with sugar when I told the waiter twice, unsweetened. The bus boy shouldn't be wheeling a cart arround either. It's sad, this used to be such a good restraunt synonymous with quality and now it's very below average read more

This was our first time visiting this place. Honestly, I have always heard so many great things about it but I wasn't impressed tonight. The fried rice that came with the entrees was extremely plain and had no flavor. The chicken was soggy. We ordered cheese puffs and those just tasted weird. We had a taste of the shrimp toast and it was either oil or butter but either way, it was soaked entirely in it. The waiter was very nice and accommodated our party of 14 with ease. Major props to him for not missing a beat! The place itself was quiet and nice looking. A tad on the stuffy side and they were playing the Olympics on tv. I do wish the seating was a tiny bit more spaced out as the kids had trouble with very little elbow room to eat comfortably. But other than that our dining experience was good. I don't think we as a family will be returning in general unless invited again. read more

I've given Formosa three tries, but I don't believe I will patronize this restaurant again. Today was the final straw. We finally tried their hibachi and it was quite "mid" as the young folks would say! I was very underwhelmed! Not only by the taste of the food, but the first thing that the server/chef asked us was " Is there a special occasion ya'll are celebrating? Someone made parole?" Mind you we were a black family celebrating 2 birthdays! Then we had 1 child and 4 teenage boys at the table and he proceeds to tell a lewd joke! "Why doesn't Santa Claus have any children? Because he only comes once a year!" Throughout the cooking he makes comments about what most black people are like. He made a mention of how most black people love Long Islands (really?) and how most of the black people he serves want more butter! I did not enjoy this experience at all! But I felt like the onus was on us to laugh off his ignorance and disrespect because he was an older man from Lao. I didn't want to go to the manager and jeopardize his job (again leaving the onus on me)! The thing I decided to do to voice my frustration and straight shock from this disturbing and disrespectful experience was to leave this review and vow to never give this restaurant another penny of my money or support. In addition to the poor service, the food wasn't even that good! Maybe that why "most of his black customers wanted more butter" and seasoning. Just a thought! I wish people would just make an attempt to do better, especially if you are in the service/hospitality field. read more

The food was pretty good and the portions are extremely generous. You can easily make 2 meals out of each order. Our waitress said she "liked our vibe" which was unexpected but nevertheless a nice compliment. It seems like there's a lot of wasted space in there and the decor is like wanna-be fancy meets buffet - very basic but it gets the job done. The fact that everything is moderately priced brings Formosa Garden full circle as a decent to above-average Chinese eatery. read more

Always fresh and delicious. Service is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is relaxed and upscale but not stuffy. We love it.

Had the chicken with garlic sauce, which was decent but not the most flavorful, and the sweet and sour pork, which was dry and rubbery. The sauce was also sickly sweet without much balance towards sour. Service was ok. read more
