Formosa — Restaurant in Clarks Summit

This is the first time that I have visited this restaurant.

The staff were all very friendly and the service was excellent. My waiter's name was Tom and he was polite, knowledgeable about the menu items and just seemed happy. Having a waiter like this made my experience very enjoyable.

For starters I had the seafood ravioli. It was a special item that isn't listed on the menu, but it was the best ravioli that I've had in a long time. It was stuffed with shrimp and crab and came with a white wine sauce with truffle oil. I've had dishes where the truffle oil overpowered the entire dish, but this one was perfect.

For my entree I had the mango and honey chicken. The chicken was perfect. It was breaded, but the breading wasn't thick and didn't get soggy with the mango honey sauce. The chicken was also topped with peppers, pineapple and onions, but it wasn't overloaded and they added to the flavor nicely. This dish also came with steamed broccoli and rice. The rice came in a bowl on the side and wasn't soaked in sauce.

I also had a Thai iced tea to drink with my meal. It was sweet, but not too sweet and had a light orange flavor.

Overall I had a great experience and the food was amazing! Thank you for making my...

Easy in and out of the parking lot. The decor is gorgeous with a very modern look to a Chinese style complete with gold and blue dragons above the light fixtures. The service was mediocre. It wasn't bad but not particularly good. They were pleasant but lacked a personality. I was surprised how many empty tables there were on a Friday at dinner time. The food is reasonably priced. Appetizers were great! Spring rolls, dumplings, shrimp wonton soup, and the steak and cheese rolls (house special), all good though the soup was a bit saltier than I prefer, but not bad.

The entrees... the food was fresh. Garlic chicken lacked flavor and the only thing I could taste was salt. VERY salty and bland otherwise. The pad Thai was very salty as well but competed with a sweetness that was almost too much and it lacked heat. I don't think the chef is coming with heart at this point.

I'm not saying the rest of the menu isn't fantastic, but the entrees we tried were left wanting.

I hope we just got bad plates but I don't think we'll be heading back...

You can drive by this restaurant and not realize what you missed!!!! The turn-in to the parking lot is quick also!

My son was invited to a friend's birthday party here. It's a very intimate and cozy ambience; a series of turns until reaching the small banquet area. There was room for about 15 of us and a table with appetizers was set up at the entrance to the dining area. (The vegetable rolls were beyond words!!!!) Everyone had the option to order their own plate: Chicken, Salmon..... I ordered the chicken and when I seen the serving size, I didn't think I would finish it. But it was cooked with just the right amount of seasoning, I was impressed I ate the whole thing!!

They make their own coconut ice cream; doesn't sit heavy in the stomach!

This is quite a drive from my location; however those with me were talking about having a birthday party here in the future!!!!!

I would go for a night out: birthday party...
