Travelled here because of the good reviews we’d heard. Really well done menu with a real range of options!
The service was excellent and we had our meals brought to us under 10 minutes of ordering them.
The “dessert menu” was a short presentation given by the waitress showing photos on an iPad with a description of each one, so personal!
With the service and the well presented meals, we had expected a higher bill at the end but we were pleasantly surprised, highly recommend this restaurant.

What a great pleasant surprise. We only meant to have a quick stop at Ashburton’s McDonald’s, but only found out it temporarily shut down for renovation, so we came to this place, which worked out fantastically.

The decor is creative and cozy, service is decent, and the food is pretty solid, especially the noodle soup, really surpassed our expectations. Only the signature corn fried thing tasted only average and weirdly cold, everything else we absolutely loved. The dessert is also outstanding.

Had the best meal at Formosa tonight. The service was so efficient and unobtrusive, the food, absolutely divine. Beautifully presented and the flavours were just as they were described on the menu. Busy place for a Monday night.
We had the Cumin Lamb, Braised Salmon for mains and dessert - was to die for with the outstanding presentation and flavours of the Chocolate Bomb!
Highly recommend.
Great service! Attention to detail was on point! So pleased we found this place on our overnight stay in Ashburton:)

Amazing service and amazing food! I had my reservations as some people mentioned it was Asian fusion but boy, how delicious and authentic the food was! We ordered the Crispy Pork Belly, Taiwanese fried chicken, crispy calamari, stir friend noodles, taiwanese beef noodle soup, braised duck on rice, fried tempura shrimp with mango, steak and bubble tea. There was more than enough to go around and we left with full bellies. The service was also very fast. It took about 15 to 20mins tops to get our food and drinks. For 4 adults and 4 kids, this was a fantastic dining experience.

Best Asian food we had. We ordered beef noodles (I requested extra spicy for myself which tastes even better since I’m a spicy food lover) and it tasted so close to what we had in Taiwan! Dessert is a must order and we had chocolate eclair. Just so pleased that we found this place for lunch on our way to Christchurch! Would recommend :)

Will very happily go back. The food was amazing and very reasonable. The deserts were top notch and best I have ever had. Great service too.

Fusion Asian.

Very good fried rice. Look, smell and taste like the fried rice in Taiwan.

We ordered the Taiwanese Fried Chicken but was a little bit disappointed as some chicken pieces were too chunky that some their taste were bland.

Their Guabao (braised pork) was faultless. Not too sweet and melt in your mouth.

We had a wonderful lunch. Staff are polite and friendly. They have lunch special too. All the meal taste fresh and warm. And must try dessert menu. They look fancy and delish!
