The bartender/waitress was a total standout: super friendly, super attentive, and honestly the best part of the experience. Our drinks, a Long Island and a vodka Sprite, were both solid and hit the spot. The food was good, not amazing. I ordered the mushroom stir fry, and my guest went with the Thai basil plate. The real surprise was finding a random bone in the Thai dish--about the size of a nickel and half an inch tall--which definitely knocked the food score down. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but next time I'm in Iowa City, I'll probably be checking out a different Chinese restaurant.

A feature that is especially unique is they serve a variety of dishes from China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia! They state if a dish is gluten free, vegan, vegetarian... it is easy to track any allergens. The food is not the only lovely feature. The waiter and waitress are warm, friendly, and welcoming! ... very sensitive to your table needs. I really enjoy this calming and caring feeling I have in going there.

Tried the now popular crispy tuna, 7/10, I do love anything fried Had a couple of rolls, the Hawaiian and Las Vegas, and they were fine for my taste, not mind blowing, no "wow" effect ‍ My server was great, she was sweet and friendly and always checking in. Also, their rolls are discounted on mondays, so that was a nice surprise. Overall, not a bad place, but wouldn't be my first choice. Will certainly try again

Crazy Boy Roll - this was a really good fried roll, lots of flavor and would order it again! Overall great experience.

Formosa continues to be a family fav for us…read more Is it the best sushi you'll ever have? No. Is the service always spot on? No. Is the menu limited? Kind of. -- They have sushi galore. But the entrees are indeed limited. Is parking readily available? No. -- You'll need to park at the Dubuque Street Ramp (first hour free.) Is the location convenient? Sure! -- If you're downtown, it is a great spot just off the ped mall. Does it deliver? Heck yes. -- Check out CHOMP and also see on Formosa's social if they have a promo code for x off. They typically do. We come here for cheap sushi that hits the spot and bomb.com crab rangoons. My family of four typically comes during a day they have specials, too. So you'll find maki rolls being extremely cheap, as well as specific apps and adult beverages. Pricing is pretty on point. Last night we ordered five maki rolls with two specialty maki rolls and two crab rangoon orders with delivery fee/tip for under $80. I feel like that was a net win. We all left the table happy campers. Formosa serves a purpose and it gets the job done if you walk in with the right expectations.
