The Formosa Cafe is a restaurant and bar founded in 1939 and located at 7156 Santa Monica Boulevard at the intersection with North Formosa Avenue, in West Hollywood, California.

The restaurant has a long history of movie star and film industry patronage due to its close proximity to studio lot across the street, which began as the United Artists lot and was later owned by Warner Bros. Generations of movie stars such as Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable have eaten meals at The Formosa. Frank Sinatra is reputed to have spent many nights at the Formosa in the 1950s, pining over Ava Gardner.

After a brief 2 year hiatus, a complete refurbishment, and a tremendous menu update The Formosa Cafe has returned to serve the Los Angeles community once again.

We were really excited to try this restaurant, but the whole night was a bust. We were seated in the upstairs dining area, so no chance at sitting in the fun booths in the iconic train car. We were seated at an awkward table to start (right near the stairs and the kitchen area.) We moved to another table. The server was really nice, but the service was not great...just an overall lack of attention. Tried the "What She's Having" cocktail, which was really good. Our server never asked if I wanted another drink. :( There were four of us and the food came out erratically...a runner put our appetizers onto someone's else table, walked away, then came back and grabbed them to bring them to our table. My cauliflower dish came out well before any of the other meals. In all, the food was just okay. I really wanted this to be a great experience, but the ambiance, service, and food were just lackluster.

Formosa Cafe is a treasure. From 1939 to this day, serving the best and doing it in such a way that you feel it is their honor to have us (when it is really the other way around, imho). Formosa Cafe is legendary but it escaped me. I feared a musty, dated, sleepy, barely sanitary fossil of a place, the way I imagine some restaurants that are rusting on their bay laurels from long ago are. Nope. This place is fresh, bright, smells wonderful, spotless, cheerful, and with a decor that made us feel as if we should have dressed for the Red Carpet, circa 1939 itself. See my pictures. How about the food, for vegetarians? We got to choose from the breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner menus and there was enough that we didn't get to sample everything we wanted. Every dish was clearly made to order. It all came to the table piping hot, in beautiful serving bowls offsetting the rich velvety reds that dominate the atmosphere. The vegetables were crisp, perfectly seasoned. Nothing was dull and nothing was painfully hot -- all just right. The walls entertained us while we waited. Dozens of stars have signed pictures that festoon the ceiling area and talked to us in our very own booth. While I am at it, there are several areas in which to dine. I wanted to be in the middle of the action, so we sat in the main room flanked by the mile-long bar. Everyone, from the woman who greeted us warmly and promised us we would not leave hungry (she was right -- the portions were beyond generous), to the gal who prepared our beverages, to other staff who came by with a smile to be sure we were happy (yes! delirious, actually), to Bryan, our personal attendant who was helpful in making suggestions and who, upon inquiry, confessed that he loved the food at Formosa and had a number of favorites to recommend. The dessert was just as delicious as everything else. I know we will be back every time we want Chinese food.

Very atmospheric place with amazing food. I expected something along the diner lines, but found an art place.

We were very lucky. It was not busy and we were served very quickly. They changed table when we asked and the whole establishment was very polite. Definitely will go there again

I felt the food was all highly salted. The egg rolls are my favorite part of the meal. I ordered the steak with broccoli, which wasn’t broccoli. It was broccolini. Their food does not taste like traditional Chinese food at all. So if that’s what you’re looking for. This is not the place to eat. And sadly, they charge for refills of ice tea, and coffee.

Everything about this establishment was amazing. I had been wanting to go for a long time and finally made it the only thing that saddened me was that I waited way too long to get there. The server was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of this place. The whole experience along with the food was great. Everyone needs to visit at least once, you won’t be disappointed!!!
