Review Formosa - Iowa City

John Petrosky
On par with the better places in downtown Chicago. Generous cuts of fish on the nigiri and the signature rolls are full of flavors without being overwhelming.

First date night out without kids in a while. And the wife and I went to Formosa for dinner tonight. We got seated right away and that was our last interaction with any of the staff. We watched countless servers walk past us. Never brought out the waters that other tables got. We got to enjoy watching people get seated after us only to see them be served right away. After waiting 40 minutes without ever having the chance to order or speak to a member of the wait staff. We ended up just leaving. Walked down the block and went to a fantastic little sushi place around the corner. At this point I will probably not bother going back to Formosa.

I like that this Sushi place is located in the downtown area. I prefer carry out and choosing a nice spot downtown to eat because their place is usually packed and service is slow. Their sushi rolls are good to share. Popular items are in red on their menu, so they easily stand out. Personal favs: dragon, crunchy calamari, and caterpillar rolls. Now they have menu viewing and payment through QR code if you don’t like to wait.

Just okay. They have a good drink menu has a lot of interesting sushi roles, but most of them just taste like cream cheese and sauce. It's not that authentic and I was a little disappointed with the price. It wasn't the absolute worst, but I won't be going back.

I used to love coming here, my last 5-10 visits have been very underwhelming. The service was poor and the tables/benches/soy sauce bottles/glassware did not feel clean. They ran a promotion for a free “captain crunch” roll, but when I got it it wasn’t even how the roll was described on the menu, they left out a lot of ingredients just to save money. False advertising. Super sad cause Formosa used to be my favorite.

Instantly regretted going here. Sat down and ordered calamari and it definitely was not calamari. But the thing that made us get up and leave was that our water and beer glasses were crusted up on the top. It was super gross. What was also gross were the flies in/around our food- in an indoor restaurant in the winter.

Cool place. Seats are a bit uncomfortable, and the udon noodle soup had pepper, which I wasn't aware of or happy about. They gave my sister a free piece of cake with a cute golden candle, which was neat.
