About Formosa Bakery & Kitchen

Formosa Bakery & Kitchen is a hidden gem offering a variety of Taiwanese and Asian-inspired dishes. This carry-out only spot has a menu posted outside or available to view while the chef works on other orders. The menu features Americanized Asian dishes, Taiwanese street foods, dim sum, bakery sweets, and fusion foods. The chef prides themselves in using fresh, flavorful, and authentic ingredients. Popular items include BBQ pork buns, pork floss and green onion bun, Taiwanese cold noodles with chicken, fried pancake with pork, and pork and preserved egg congee. Despite the lack of signage, the chef is always available to take orders and cater to customers' needs. Customers praise the authentic flavors and good ingredients, describing the food as really delicious. The owner, a seasoned chef from Taiwan, manages the place mostly alone, handling orders, cooking, and packing, which can sometimes make her seem overwhelmed during busy times. The restaurant used to be part of the Formosa restaurant on the hill, but it closed after the land was used to build a hotel. Visitors recommend ordering ahead for pickup, especially for homemade meals to go. The place might be a little hard to find, situated behind what looks like a food truck depot area, but it’s worth seeking out for its tasty offerings. The mango smoothie is also noted for being super fresh and creamy with a unique flavor.
