"Run by co-owner Hsin Chang Lee and his daughter Chuya Lee, Formosa specializes in handmade dumplings and comforting dishes like beef noodle soup, lu rou fan, popcorn chicken, and other Taiwanese street food favorites - all crafted from family-inspired recipes. Their original spot at 144 Evergreen Avenue, on the corner of Jefferson Street, has been a local success for nearly two years. Now, their second location at 43 Underhill Avenue, between Dean Street and Washington Avenue, opened just a few weeks ago."
"For more than 20 years, Hsin Chang Lee ran a beloved dumpling franchise in Taiwan, winning hearts with his "signature pork" creation. Launched in 1993, the franchise grew into a 100-location empire in his native country. (Its name roughly translates to "Overseas Dragon"; Lee has since sold his stake in the business.) "When we opened our doors here in Brooklyn, we brought that same recipe with us, along with his passion for introducing the flavors of Taiwan to a broader audience," the duo wrote on their website."
Formosa is run by co-owner Hsin Chang Lee and his daughter Chuya Lee. The shop specializes in handmade dumplings and Taiwanese street-food dishes including beef noodle soup, lu rou fan, and popcorn chicken made from family recipes. The original Bushwick location at 144 Evergreen Avenue operated for nearly two years and built a neighborhood following. A second location at 43 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights opened recently. Hsin previously ran a dumpling franchise in Taiwan for more than 20 years, launching in 1993 and expanding to about 100 locations before selling his stake. The menu features eight-piece dumpling platters available pan-fried or boiled, fillings such as Signature Pork, Chicken with Napa Cabbage, and Veggie, and items like fried king oyster mushrooms, Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and pork buns.
