Taiwanese Restaurants near Lexington, MA

“Wide variety of very good food BUT, unless you speak Chinese, ordering by phone or even online is AGONY. They should hire a fluent high school kid.“

“Formosa Taipei is a stylish and welcoming spot with a great atmosphere that really captures a modern Taiwanese dining aesthetic. The service is attentive and warm, adding genuine hospitality to the experience. The food, however, is where it falls a little short — decent Taiwanese-inspired dishes but lacking the bold, authentic flavors you'd hope for from a restaurant with such a strong concept and name. With more depth and authenticity in the cooking, Formosa Taipei could be a truly standout destination.“

“I always order their popcorn chicken and Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup! Love the ambiance of this family owned restaurant. Expect to wait a little bit when you come during weekends because the space isn’t too big and has limited tables. But food is delicious! Absolutely recommended!“

“I ordered spicy chicken fried rice just to be safe trying out new place, got shrimp fried rice (which was not spicy). Introvert so ate it anyway, and it was my first time trying shrimps too. It wasn’t spicy but it was really really good, and the quantity is really generous too!!! Gonna be my go to spot :)“

“The food was very authentic and everything we ordered was really, really tasty! The staff and owner were so kind and even treated us to their milk tea which was also really good! The service was also very fast and we highly recommend!!!“

“The price to quality ratio is very good, the only thing better would be the Costco $5 chicken. Lunch specials run $11 or $13 and comes with a bowl of rice.

While other restaurants in general load the meal up with fillers, such as breads, beans or rice, the ratio here is the other way around. There is 2X or 3x of the dish, relative to starch.

Comes with tea, picked vegetables and dry peanuts“

“everything we ever ordered has been fabulous. and the service is excellent.“

“I got a bite to eat (noodles with mixed vegetables) at an affordable place nearby to where I was working. The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was delightful. I will definitely eat here again if I am in the area. Loved it.“

“Place is clean and service is quick. Server was nice and speak good english , very attentive . We ordered pork and beef pan fried dumplings, with Mala Lamb stew and Stir fried beef with pepper . Food came out quick and was delicious. Price is fair with good portions. We enjoy the food and we will definitely come back when we are nearby. Pardon me for not putting images for dumplings into my review because it was so delicious that we ate all before picture taken . Last but not least tipping is a must for us at 20% .“

“We've only had the weekend Taiwanese brunch here. Food is pretty authentic with a good variety. Some of our favorites here are the soy milk, beef and scallions Xiao bin, and the steamed pork ribs with sweet potato. These are consistently good and well prepared, especially the Xiao bin which has a nice crispy crust. The soy milk actually have a lot of soy flavor and not too sweet. The beef noodle soup is fine but is mostly salty and has no depth of flavor. The filling in the chives pie is decent but the wrapping is greasy and doughy.

Service is efficient though not very friendly. Prices are not cheap for the type of food. We come to this restaurant purely for the food. It's a bit dim inside and furnishings old but relatively clean. Overall, it's great to have this restaurant to get a taste of Taiwan that we miss.“

“Good food that came quickly (AFTER we were finally able to order).“
