For nearly three decades, Formosa Restaurant has been a part of the Memphis dining scene, serving Chinese cuisine shaped by tradition and elevated through thoughtful innovation.

​

Family-owned and proudly local, Formosa was founded on a simple belief: classic Chinese dishes should be respected, not repeated. While we honor time-tested recipes and techniques, we continuously refine our approach, introducing modern flavors, premium ingredients, and distinctive creations that reflect how Chinese cuisine continues to evolve.

Our menu brings together familiar favorites and dishes found only at Formosa. From traditional offerings like Governor’s Chicken to signature plates such as our Chilean Sea Bass and Five Flavored Shrimp with Honey Glazed Pecans, every dish is prepared with care, balance, and intention. We place equal importance on freshness, flavor, and presentation, ensuring each plate delivers a dining experience that feels both comforting and elevated.

 

Over the years, our guests have come to expect consistency, quality, and genuine hospitality. Whether you are joining us for a family dinner, a quiet meal, or discovering us for the first time, we remain committed to delivering the same standard of food and service that Memphis has trusted for generations.

​

At Formosa, Chinese cuisine is more than tradition. It is an ongoing conversation between past and present, familiar and new.

We invite you to experience your favorite Chinese dishes from a fresh perspective.
