“Formosa, which opened at 144 Evergreen Avenue, at Jefferson Street, is a neighborhood dumpling shop, not another chain. The business serves Taiwanese staples like lu rou fan, a braised pork over rice dish, and scallion noodles with tofu. Beef noodle soup is on the menu, and soon there will be fried pork chops, too.

Save room for dumplings: The restaurant has seven kinds. They come with pork and glass noodles, chicken and cabbage, and yellow chives. My favorite, a seafood dumpling, has octopus, tilapia, shrimp, and celery all in one. The dumplings can be boiled or pan-fried. Either way, they are covered in chili oil, scallions, cilantro, and fried garlic. An order with eight of them costs $12 to $15.”

…and they were amazing! If you’re in the area, don’t miss this gem.
