    111 CRAB RANGOON
    Jade G.

    We got crab Rangoon that was a little sweeter than I'm used to, but still good. We also got the Peking Duck, that does take a bit to prepare. The flavor was good, but a little more fatty than I enjoy. I am a bit picky with fat though so I would definitely recommend if you don't mind it. The server was polite and helpful.

    This restaurant may be small but it is good for large groups and the food is delicious! We came with a large group and a stroller and we sat comfortably! Our waitress was kind and attentive! She took our orders quickly and our food also came out quickly! The portions were great and everything tastes so authentic!

    Egg roll  Decent, 4/5 stars

    Pretty decent Chinese restaurant for Chattanooga. I ate here for the first time recently. Friendly wait staff. Inside is a more traditional dine in area which is nice and comfortable. I agree with most reviews that the egg rolls are average. Certainly much worse out there. They do have shrimp in them which may be helpful to know, there's no description on the menu. I had fried dumplings. I basically judge dumplings on 4 factors: filling, wrapper, sauce, cooking. For me, everything was perfect except the wrapper. They're more on the thin side, similar to something you would find in run of the mill frozen dumplings from the grocery store. I prefer a thicker in house made wrapper, but that's just me. You can get an idea from the picture and decide if it's what you like. For an entree, I had chicken with five flavor sauce with fried rice. No complaints at all for this. Nice flavor with a little bit of heat. It's white meat chicken with veggies including baby corns, water chestnuts, mushroom and green bell pepper. Decent portion size, definitely something I would get again. I will definitely be coming back, and would recommend this place to a friend. They have a decent size menu and I noticed a lot of good looking food going to other tables.

    Combo fried rice and Governor's Chicken with steamed rice

    Craving egg drop soup so ordered lunch during the week to pick up since I was working from home. We also ordered the combination fried rice with extra onion and the Governor's Chicken - no celery (w/steamed rice). Formosa has great egg drop soup - consistently delicious. First time having the chicken dish and it was good. The chicken was plentiful but it was supposed to be spicy and it wasn't. Alas, I would still order again and just request extra spice! Fried rice was decent. This restaurant is very consistent, so I am rarely disappointed. Friendly service and plenty of parking.

    So far the best Chinese food I can find. If I can find something better I'll change. The lo mein was the only thing so far I did not like, too greasy

The egg rolls are some of the best I've ever had, anywhere. The counter service was patient and friendly. The restaurant is *very* clean. The negative: It's counter serve, and they clearly want you to take your food and get the hell out of there. The seating is spare, the decor is spartan, and there are ZERO amenities at the tables. There's no water unless you pay for it. Want chopsticks? Here are some *to go* chopsticks. Oh, you want soy sauce? Let me get some from behind the counter. This could have earned five stars if they'd only put some thought into customer service.

    Well, my favorite Chinese Restaurant just went to , I'll never eat from there again…read more As always, I ordered the Egg Drop soup, after a couple of bites I thought hmmm this isn't like it always is, so I thought maybe a tiny bit of salt would enhance it. It helped some. Shortly after finishing our meal, I began to belch what i perceived as, rotten eggs. This lasted all into the night. So I was wondering if the soup was a day old or something? Then about an hour after we went to bed, I ran to the bathroom with the worst tummy ache & spent an hour & 10 minutes in there, thinking I was dying. Yep I was going at it with V & D ... I hate to gross anyone out, but that had to have been food poisoning. Today I caught up on my sleep & feeling better. What gets me is, the cook had to have known something wasn't prepared correctly, because out of 10 yrs of patronizing them, this was a first, & LAST.
