Have you been craving a delicious but different dining experience? Whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we want to introduce you to a new restaurant that is sure to astonish your taste buds in the most satisfying way.
On September 30, 2022, Formosa opened their doors in Gig Harbor’s Uptown outdoor shopping center. Formosa is a diner serving an extensive American-Taiwanese fusion menu. The word formosa means “beautiful island” in Portuguese. In the 16th century, the Portuguese sailed through Taiwan. As soon as they saw the land they said, “Formosa!” which is the name people used for Taiwan during that era. And Taiwan is where the owner and chef is from.
The name is also the inspiration for Chef Ching Cornish and her delectable dishes. Her vision is to create beautiful, fresh meals with a special twist that come to life everyday. She has a unique take on classic, American melting-pot dishes, such as Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Parmesan, while adding traditional Taiwanese flair with her spicy Cucumber Salad and Taiwanese fresh fruit teas.
Guests can expect quick, friendly customer service, fresh ingredients, and a comfortable dining area. Since Formosa is open from 7am to 11pm, this new eatery can serve you an early bird breakfast complete with a creamy espresso, or a late night indulgence topped off with a quality glass of wine.
