Very cool food court in Jusgo Market. The food was organic and it was a clean environment. I have rolled by this several times while at Mazzys, and never went inside. But it was cold and I was in search for soup dumplings which was closed according to Yelp but I was so happy with what I ended up getting. I ended up going with Yes Formosa because the lady at the counter was nice to me and she gave me good options. So I got the Crispy Pork Bao Bun and Pork Dumpling soup. It was really delicious and authentic. I can't wait to go back and find out what else they have but I feel blessed to have experience some really Asian cuisine that wasn't store bought. I will be back. I even got a strawberry a mbs cream Sando read more

A nice hidden gem located inside an Asian supermarket. We ordered the beef noodle soup, sesame pork noodles, and popcorn chicken. All of it was good and the chicken was well seasoned. They gave us huge portions for the noodles as well. Highly recommend! read more

One of the many food options in the jusgo market food court. Husband ordered oyster omelette, black bean noodles with sesame sauce, and stinky tofu. Stinky tofu was good & feels hard to find! Crispy, nice sauce, and pickled veg. Unfortunately the noodles didn't come with sesame sauce like the photo showed and the oyster omelette had a sauce that didn't taste like others we've had in the past. Would only return to try the tofu again or other items. read more

I didn't take photo but the looking of the foods are good. I had their beef noodle soup and shrimp in fried tofu skin. The later is pretty good though a bit pricy. The noodle, however, was a let down. The broth was fine, it has some MSG aftertaste when you drink it, but it's not the major problem. The beef was cooked to perfection and I loved it. But the noodle was extremely overcooked and became very very mushy. It had no texture whatsoever, when you bite it, it feels like bitting a big chunk of dough. As the star of a noodle soup, it single handily turned this fine dish into a sad embarrassing meal. I could see the potential, though. Once they fix the noodle, I would certainly come back. I do thought it's just a one time mistake that just happened to happen on me. Otherwise I would seriously doubt their cooking skills. read more

So here's the story, the lady got hangry while grocery shopping and couldn't decide what she wanted to eat. Pressure is on because with each passing second she's getting more and more hungry, so what do I do? Lucky for me, this food court exists and I knew popcorn chicken/nugget was an easy item to please and should be relatively quick. So I set off to go find some. I found Yes Formosa and they also offered this bun sandwich SOMETHING and it's on display. I don't know what came over me and I just felt compelled to order this. This was a game changer. My angry gremlin who needed a snickers bar was pleasantly surprised. I got bonus points for feeding and exceeding her expectations. So besides being a life saver, it was some good eat. Outside was flaky and crispy but also so gentle and delicate while being stuffed with good amount of meat. She was surprised it was able to stay so flaky with as much meat juices as there were. Not one bite was soggy and it even sat for a bit while we snacked on the popcorn chicken. Their popcorn chicken was good but I wish it had some heat. I enjoyed the garlic chunks though. Service is top tier, super friendly people who are considerate and give you everything you need. As mentioned earlier, it's a food court so plenty of seating and very open and exposed. read more

My friend and I shared a Taiwanese Beef noodle soup with tendon which was served in a huge bowl. The broth was flavorful and the beef was so tender. A few pieces of bok choy is also thrown into the mix to add to the texture and taste. Noodles are thinner than udon but not as thin as rice noodles for those who are curious. Staff were nice so I will definitely be coming again especially for it costing less than $15. read more

Passing through Atlanta and was craving taiwanese food. So glad to have found this gem In a food court next to a big Asian supermarket. Easy parking Many other small shops in the food court Got their popcorn chicken and stinky tofu! Both were delicious. Popcorn chicken w basil! Which we know it's getting less common to find one w them since basil is not cheap. But to me basil is needed for it to remind me of popcorn chicken I eat in Taiwan Sticky tofu is great. Even come w taiwanese picked cabbage! If ever in the area again would definitely stop by read more

Yes Formosa has really good food at a good price. And you wouldn't think that a grocery store's food court would have such tasty food. The Taiwanese rice ball w/ peanut that's available only on the weekend was interesting. Instead of a singular ball of rice with stuff inside, the portion size was about two. The interior wasn't filled with moist meat and other tidbits like I'd imagine it to be. It was a little more dry with the peanuts and other ingredients that didn't help with the lack of moisture. It was good, but more on the just okay side. The beef brisket rice under the bento section was really good. Don't let the redness in color scare you away, it was not spicy in any sense. The beef was good and had a nice crispy exterior thanks to the coating. The flavors and portion were great. It was somewhat salty because of the coating, but it was still tasty. The rice from the dish also had some minced meat atop that added more flavors and moisture. The side of green beans and pickled veggies were nice additions that balanced out this really meaty dish. The price, portion, and quality were great. read more

First timer. Wanted to try the stinky tofu but wasn't brave enough. Also being that it was only my husband and I and we already ordered from a few other places I saved it for another day. Instead I ordered the SICHUAN SPICY beef noodle soup with a flame next to it.. when my husband came back with the soup it was the regular beef noodle soup. IDK. We just kept it and I went to ask for some hot chili oil. The young lady up front was very nice and helpful. Soup base was good. Not what I was expecting, maybe because I was expecting a deep beefy spicy broth? The soup is light but is flavouful. Noodles overdone to my liking. The actual pieces of beef were great though! Super tender and "beefy". Can almost taste the spices they were cooked in. Lady from Spice Garden told us they're the same owners and we could've ordered the same dish from them as well. Not sure if there's a difference in the Sichuan spicy beef noodle soup vs. Beef noodle soup but wasn't very impressed with what we got. read more

YAS to more Taiwanese options in metro Atlanta! After losing Ah Ma's Kitchen in 2020 (another LOSS WHY), it wasn't as hard to stomach with the existence of Yes Formosa. I'm always craving Taiwanese food, because it reminds me of home and of Taiwan. I actually just went again tonight and decided to draft up this review after a few visits and trying various dishes the past year. Maybe because I speak Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent but everyone working there always gives me the best service. So if you can speak any Mandarin I recommend for clear communication and better service (not that service would be bad). There are a few "Taiwanese" options in Atlanta but this is one of the only left that offers ONLY Taiwanese options, versus assimilating with the other cuisines that American society has pressed on. ANYWAY - I've tried more than a few dishes now, and I have to say, overall, everything is pretty tasty, with flavors being as authentic as possible without being in Taiwan. Everything seems to be missing just SOMETHING but they're close enough. Prices are slightly above average but portions are big so I'm not complaining. I've tried: Taiwanese Oyster Pancake - not bad but not my favorite. Satisfies the craving if that's what you're looking for. Beef Noodle Soup - not the best, but super home-style, reminds me of home. Mackerel Thick Noodle Soup - the flavors also really remind me of home. The soup is a little starchy and thick, but I loved it. Cold Noodles (summer only) - one of my FAVORITE street foods in Taipei - unfortunately this one was more garlicky and not super flavorful otherwise. But in the heat of summer, it's definitely an enjoyable way to cool down. Fried Chicken Nuggets - these ones are spot on similar to the Taiwanese fried chicken nuggets I know and love. Taiwanese House Stir-Fried Noodles - I like my mom's version better, but who doesn't like their mom's food more?? I believe they just updated their menu very recently and today I tried some of those new dishes! Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup - ok, so it's definitely not Sichuan. It's very lightly spicy - barely there. But it's still tasty. It might as well be the original Beef Noodle Soup. Not sure why they needed to latch on the Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup. Taiwanese Gua Bao with peanut - love that the 2 bao are only $6. The flavors are ok but that pork is so fatty and tasty - those who don't love fatty pork as much as me may not appreciate it like me. The flavors are close to authentic Taiwanese flavors but not quite there. Turkey Rice - the first time I had Turkey rice in Jiayi, Taiwan, it was SO FREAKING GOOD, I inhaled two (small) bowls without stopping. This bowl was huge, for $9.95. Flavors are super close, but thought it was strange as an "entree". Feels like it needs a side more than just bok choy. Ok - so I'm realizing now this is a SUPER critical review BUT I still enjoyed every dish I've tried and will always come back for more. read more

A pleasant surprise in the Jusgo Supermarket Food Court! Actually we tried 3 stalls within the supermarket and ended up being happy with them all, amazing! Anyway, so we ordered soy stewed pork with tofu rice, minced pork dry noodles, Taiwanese chicken nuggets, shrimp rolls, stinky tofu, and oyster pancake. Everything was pretty authentic and tasty, surprisingly! I had low expectations because usually restaurants don't get them all right, but they definitely exceeded expectations. If you know what these are supposed to taste like, then you would know they did a good job if you tried these dishes. I do want to clarify one thing that someone complained about on Yelp when I was reading reviews for suggestions prior to trying this place out. Someone complained about the oyster pancake not being like a pancake but more gelatin like. Well, I just want you all to know that while the English name is a bit misleading if you think of American pancakes, they are SUPPOSED TO BE gelatin like. It is authentic and tastes just the way they are supposed to.‍ read more

*Taiwanese review on Taiwanese food* 5/5 Taiwanese Meatball: I love this dish and it is extremely hard to find in the US. And this one is actually good, both flavor and texture! But there are a million types of meatballs肉圓 in Taiwan, and people like different kinds, so this is just my opinion. If you've only ever had oyster pancake and not Taiwanese Meatball, consider trying it. It is a sticky chewy tapioca skin over a ball of chopped up pork with sweet and savory sauce. 5/5 Taiwanese Oyster Pancake: Also can't find this dish around that often, but much more popular and well known than the meatball. The texture is good, and has a good amount of toppings, plus it's a pretty big plate for its price compared to others. Some people say this dish taste like snot, but I love the soft chewy texture! 3/5 Thick Squid Noodle Soup: I asked for rice vermicelli and got noodles, and I think rice vermicelli would have tasted better. The soup is not as thick as the ones I like in Taiwan. It doesn't stick on the noodles that well to give them enough flavor. I still like it, it is a closer version to home than the ones I've tried else where. A huge minus to this dish is that the squid cake tasted a little fishy. Overall I think this is a great place to get quality Taiwanese street food that you can't normally find elsewhere! read more

A Taiwanese food in the shopping grocery store food court. This Taiwanese food is street food version. Their food is very similar to Taiwan night market food. It different selection and many of the items is quite good. My wife is from Taiwan and she loves it. We started chicken nuggets. This is a five spice chicken nuggets same as night market. It is crispy. Not the best but close enough to the standard. The second dish is is the fried red pork chop. This is a good dish to share and wash down with beer. The third dish is the oyster pancake. It is very typical Taiwanese street food. Good small size oyster and good pancakes sauce. The main dish we have the fish thick soup, pork chop rice and the braised beef noodle. All three dishes are awesome. I like the most is the pork chop rise accompanying with braised pork belly rice, braised egg and more. This is a bento for most of the people in the office. Overall is great. Good place to return for more. read more

Thumbs up! When calling to ease my nerves missing these dishes, I ordered from this place. The Chef outdone these: Shrimp with yam flour based pancake mixed with latus, topped with red sauce 蝦仁煎 Shaved lamb clear noodle soup 羊肉粉丝羹 both meet my expectations. Growing up in Taiwan, these were often night market top choices of mine. The flavor, xo sauce, topped with leaf sweet-basils, the broth is unique and authentic. If you encounter a crowd with people speaking in Taiwanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, you are at the right place for this treat. Note, the radio plays pop songs in mandarin, too. giving the experience of being in Asia, without having to fly airplane there. Very satisfied, every bite...when I cant finish all, next meal, it is great also. If you ask me, who knows all the ingredient, I have a hard time making these at home myself. read more

Normally my reviews are insanely long, but today I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. YES FORMOSA is location in the food court inside JUSGO - More street food style than the other vendors puts this place 2nd on our food court favorites list. I recommend the BEEF IRON PLATE with black pepper gravy or the CURRY FRIED NOODLES w/calamari or veggies. Both are delicious!!! My only dislike to date has been the seafood pancake which seemed more like a gelatinous blob of goop than a pancake. The food court is divided into two sides with plenty of communal seating which is great for social distancing on not so busy days. Common areas are clean and the bathrooms are spacious and nice.

This is a food stall inside Jusgo. It is a Taiwanese place serving Taiwanese fast casual food. It's also one of my favorite places to go in this area. If I'm feeling a cheap, fast, comforting Asian bento box, I gravitate to this place. What's my favorite dish here? It's the Mackerel Fish Rice Bento Box. I was hesitant to get a cheap Mackerel. But it's actually decent. The marinade in the fish was flavorful and the fish wasn't bad at all. Even though I'm not Taiwanese, it's pretty Asian. So it was comforting to me. I tried their Squid Thick Soup. It's basically soup that is thick, like the name implies. The thickness was a bit weird. But The flavor was still good. I didn't not like it. But I don't know if I'll get it again. Maybe it's an acquired texture. The people are friendly and can speak English. They pack up the food nice if you want it to go. If you're going to go pick it up, I suggest you physically go to the place and order it on location. The online prices are a bit higher. The food doesn't take too long to come out, so ordering in person makes sense if you want to save a few bucks. read more

Don't order the entries if you want your food to show up. We ordered the tofu rice and two noodle soups. The tofu rice came quickly and was ok. There's no chef on site, so everything was reheated and pre-made. The noodle soups never showed up. After waiting for 45 minutes and asked the servers for our order status twice, the server mansplained to me that they are cooking the food in order - despite that orders placed much later after ours had been served for over 30 minutes. Instead of apologizing for the delay, the server gave us a lot of attitude when we asked for our refund. This was a disappointing experience, where two people in our party left without having eaten. My suggestion - don't order the entries unless you have over an hour to spare. Stick to the appetizers -- they seem to come out of the kitchen quicker. read more

Ahhh I've been searching for a Taiwanese comfort food spot - not just fried snacks and bubble tea - for so long and I haven't been this excited about eating out in a long time! Previously it was Ping's Place in Great Wall supermarket but I'm not a fan of the supermarket so I don't go anymore. When I found out this place had teppan steak which I haven't found anywhere else, I'd been craving it all the time until I finally got the chance to come! I'm giving it a 4 because we only got a couple things and a couple execution details weren't the best, but I'm still really excited and happy that this place exists :) What we got: My boyfriend and I each got one hot iron steak, one with black pepper sauce and one with mushroom sauce. It is very similar to what is sold in Taiwan and took me back with so much nostalgia. Warning - ours came super bubbly and hot and we had to wait a couple minutes before it was edible without burning ourselves. The noodles got really crispy on the bottom, but the egg was pretty burnt on the bottom. A nice addition is that the steaks came with clear seaweed soup which was refreshing. We also got a bawan ("taiwanese meatball" on the menu), another thing I haven't had for awhile because its so rare for even Taiwanese spots in this area, which was satisfyingly glutinous and savory, with a good dollop of garlic paste at the bottom and smothered with yummy sweet/salty sauce. The stinky tofu was also pretty good, not super stinky but it came with the right side pickled cabbage and sauces that make it for me. What I want to get next time: the steak again, a couple other comfort foods that are hard to find in Atlanta - fish thick soup, oyster omelette. Other classic comfort food: bento boxes, braised pork rice, beef noodle soup! read more

First of all, this place is not really Taiwanese. It claims to have Taiwanese items, but the ingredients/seasoning is just wrong. This is essentially cultural appropriation and it really misrepresents the street foods of Taiwan. I should have known when I ordered in Mandarin and heard the Chinese accent from the person who took my order, but I went against my better judgment and gave them the benefit of doubt. Here's the breakdown of a few dishes ordered: 1) Squid thick soup 魷魚羹 - too much soy sauce and who puts cabbage and basil in this in Taiwan? Nobody. It looks completely different than the stock photos they put on yelp. 2) Stinky tofu 臭豆腐 - Rancid and burned my throat. I've had my fair share of this dish growing up in Taiwan and I know it's supposed to be "stinky" but this is like straight up horse urine with battery acid. Maybe this was a batch that had gone bad? Who knows... 3) Meat ball 肉圓 - Bland pinkish sauce with a dollop of what tasted like jarred garlic (not freshly grated/ground garlic) on top of decent tapioca dough with bland meat filling. Not horrible but not great. 4) Oden/ radish soup 關東煮 - decent flavor but again with the cabbage filler...why? I also ordered some other food but don't want to spend more time on reviewing this disappointing spot. Also, many items on the menu are no longer available, just fyi. The search for authentic Taiwanese food continues... read more

I've eaten here twice now, but didn't remember to take pictures the first time. The dishes I've tried have ranged from okay to excellent. Taiwanese Gua Bao w/ Peanut - this is an excellent one, no question. Different from Bento Cafe's in that it is fried, not just braised. I think I might prefer Bento's by a little bit but that one is such good quality I highly doubt I'll find a bao I like better, and it is very close. Taiwanese Rice Ball - one I forgot to take a photo of, it's a fan tuan filled with fried dough, pickled vegetables, a tea egg, and I think pork? This was some time ago, so I don't completely remember....but this is the other thing I would rate as excellent. Such a delicious mix of flavors and textures. Besides that, I'm not sure where in the Atl area you can get fan tuan besides *maybe* Ping's Place (I saw something fan tuan-looking on the menu, but I'm not sure if it actually is one) Taiwanese Meatball - A standard ba-wan. I wouldn't call it excellent but it was good. The texture was really nice, though a little heavy on the garlic. Sticky Rice Tube w/ Peanut - this wasn't bad, but it wasn't really something I'd reach for, either. Aside from the sauce, the rice didn't have much other than a mildly salty flavor. I also had the stinky tofu, but I couldn't give an objective rating on it because it had a lot of black pepper and I just personally dislike the taste of black pepper; other people might like it, I have no idea. The service here was also incredibly friendly. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty nice place to get a snack if you find yourself in Jusgo. read more

I always wanted to try the sizzling iron plates, and today I finally did it! For obvious reasons you can't do the iron plates/skillets to-go. At about $14.99, I tried the Italian Chicken steak with mixed sauce (both the black pepper and mushroom), and it was a steamy, sizzling sight to behold when served. It was like everyone was looking at my plate lol; the chicken and gravy sauce was served on noodles with a poached egg on the skillet as well. The egg quickly sticks to the skillet, so I recommend scraping this off first. I also recommend waiting a bit before eating, so you don't burn your tongue/mouth! The meal is an experience and tastes okay. In all honesty, it was somewhat bland, salty, and may have had undercooked parts. But all can be forgiven as the first few bites are fire...literally! On this note, maybe hot sauce or some spice can elevate this dish. From 12-3 on weekdays, they also have some app dishes for $4.99 (hard to decipher as not written in English on the menu). I literally pointed at the items to ask what they were at the time. I ended up getting the pork dumplings which were fine. Next time may try the pork dumpling soup or the hot and sour soup. Missed out on the meatball and oyster pancake (this one was expensive at $11.99) this time around. Again, more to try later as these were appetizers. Hard to gauge if these would be filling as meals too. read more

So authentic! Didn't realize they even have freshly fried dough. They have the best Chinese pork burger.

I'm not so sure that I buy this as street food but it's hard to beat the real deal. In all this is a pretty good place for Taiwanese eats. We got the beef noodle soup and a tea egg. In my opinion this is the stuff you must get right to call yourself a Taiwanese restaurant. We will be back soon to try more. For now a solid four star Update: Hubby and I returned with my grandparents and my parents a couple of weeks later. I showed them my review and requested the advertised and promised free cold noodle, but was told I would have to change my review to 5 stars to get it. Sketchy! Hubby made fun of me, but review integrity will not be bought! Aside from that we tried several different things and I am more confident than I was before about the authenticity of this place. Still a 4 star experience. It's solid but no 5 stars. We got the Taiwanese meatball ( which is a ba-wan for those of you in the know). It was hard to get pictures before everyone started devouring. We also got "stinky" tofu. I knew it was a joke as soon as they brought it out. If it's the real deal you should be able to smell it across the room, but I imagine that's less than kosher in the US. The oyster omelet was good and the bento was decent. The beef noodle soup was just as good the second time. The real winners are the beef noodle soup and the ba-wan. This was the best ba-wan I've had outside of my favorite spot in Taichung. I will return, but I'm still slightly salty about my promised cold noodles. read more

This was a very nice surprise. We were going grocery shopping and wanted a quick bite. The Jusgo food court had an overwhelming assortment of restaurants, and we weren't sure what to eat. The employee at the register was super friendly, wore a mask, and advertised items on the menu. His super positive attitude lured us in, and I'm glad we chose this spot. I ordered the beef noodle soup. The wait time wasn't too long, and it came out steaming hot. Perfect for the rainy weather. The soup broth had a slight spice to it and was very rich. It didn't taste salty at all or like it was doused in msg. The noodles were nice and chewy, and I liked how there were a lot of scallions. I could have used more beef...but I suppose that's what you can expect from a $9.99 bowl of noodle soup in a food court. The beef was very tender/soft and not at all dry. I slurped up almost all of the soup at the end. Would recommend this if you're looking for something quick and yummy for a fair price. You eat then return the tray and can commence your shopping without having to wait for a server. read more

I am Taiwanese. This is not a legit Taiwanese street food place to go. I was excited to try this place. However, the mackerel fish soup has too much corn starch added makes it too thick and hard to drink. The fried tofu just ok, taste plain. The most disappointment is the braised pork rice bento. As a Taiwanese, I see the braised egg ( loo Dan ) as the soul of the bento box. The one I got taste like the egg freezes overnight and have funky taste. All the side dishes are not cook properly like what we get from our hometown. Only good thing is the salt and pepper chicken (鹽酥雞） is a lil more close to what we have in Taiwan. It taste good, but still not as good as what we get in Taiwan. Our server is super friendly, she try all the best to make us enjoy our meal. read more

After a very long 48 hours of work and life I decided to say to heck with my diet and get something good to eat. Missing traveling and trying new places I wandered over to the nearby Jusgo food court, and ended up trying Yes Formosa after talking with one of their very friendly staff (David). It's been too long since I had good Taiwanese food, and let me tell you- their food was not only good but great. I had the Sesame Paste Noodles and crispy fried chicken nuggets (medium spice because I was sharing with others) to go, and it didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot after months of frozen quarantine meals. It even scratched a little bit of the wanderlust that's been building up while I've been "grounded" over the last year. The chef even took special care to pack my chicken in a way that it would stay crispy on the way home. I think this might be the second Yelp review I've written in eight years, but between the quality of the food and the kindness of the staff Yes Formosa definitely earned it in my opinion. I will absolutely go back, even after I finally start flying again. read more

Fantastic Taiwanese food stall in the food court next to Jusgo Supermarket! I had ordered Stinky Tofu Ru Rou Fan/minced pork with rice Gua Bao/Porkbelly sandwich I don't recommend the minced pork with rice. A lot of rice, super stingy with the pork. However the Stinky Tofu and Porkbelly sandwich are great! The Tofu isn't super pungent but definitely enough of a sour pickled smell to give you what you're looking for. The pork belly sandwich is quite tasty on a delicate man-tou bun. They're playing Jay Chou as background music as I'm eating, I'm really loving this. Haha read more

This is a Taiwanese street style food vendor inside Jusgo Supermarket. The Server is really friendly and accommodating. We ordered typical Taiwanese Pork and Rice, Beef Noodle Soup and a plate of Fried Chicken. All are up to par, but nothing special standout. Perhaps it was because we were off a little on lunch hour.

This review is going to be a bit of a comparison with Ping's Place close by. Both serve Taiwanese cuisine, are located in food courts inside Chinese supermarkets (Jusgo and Great Wall), and I got pork chop and fried chicken bentos at each within the past week. The strong points for Yes Formosa is that the centerpieces of the bentos--the pork chop and the fried chicken--are superior to their Ping's Place equivalents. The cuts of meat are thicker and more robust, particularly in the case of the pork chop. The breading is better as well, with the sweet potato flour breading being clean and crisp. We also got the Taiwanese Meatball, which is literally but poorly named: it's actually minced pieces of braised pork, dried tofu, and mushrooms enclosed inside a gelatinous loaf of rice flour. It was nostalgic and I liked it a lot, but that name is confusing. But there's also a number of issues with our experience. For one, though the bentos had a a few components of a typical Taiwanese bento--tea egg, braised minced pork in gravy over rice--it was missing a lot of other things, with its components not particularly great. The stir fried bean sprouts as a side is different but fine, but the introduction of sweet born and slices of imitation crab (surimi) left a lot to be desired, adding more sweet and wet notes to a dish that was already fairly sweet due to the breading. Unlike Ping's place, there were no pickled vegetables or greens, which would've brought a much better balance to overall bento. In addition, like Ping's Place, there is a credit card surcharge that is universally applied with no minimum spending waiver. What's more annoying at Yes Formosa is that the surcharge is larger (3.5%) and that the employee applied it without even informing me beforehand. I doubt I would've paid cash anyway, but getting blindsided with a surcharge is no fun. While she was otherwise perfectly fine, the employee also forgot to include utensils and napkins in our takeout order, which was slightly annoying. Prices are also slightly higher at Yes Formosa for the items I ordered: the bento at Ping's is $7.95, it's $8.95 at Yes. Final issue was the utter lack of images and descriptions to pair with their menu at their stall. While I know enough about Taiwanese food to know what roughly what many items were, my Chinese is still bad enough that I had no idea what the Taiwanese Meatball was until I got it since the verbal description I received didn't clarify much. It'd be be even tougher for others who are much newer to Taiwanese cuisine. The employee said that they usually run slideshows of their menu items on the overhead tv, which was currently on the fritz. But a slideshow is still user-unfriendly and it would help more if the menu had accompanying pictures or descriptions. Yes, Formosa has some clear merits: the meat is better prepared and it actually seems to have a wider menu range than Ping's Place. It could theoretically be better than the latter, and I had a hard time deciding between 3/4 stars here. But ultimately I think its cooking choices and user experience issues--the unannounced/hidden CC surcharge, the lack of description/images to pair with its menu--are things that would make me prefer Ping's Place a bit more. read more

Please don't brand yourself as Taiwanese street food when your food doesn't live up to its brand. The pork chop bento was very dry and the sides leaves a weird after taste. read more
