The Formosa Cafe first opened its doors in Los Angeles in 1939. Stars like Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, and Elvis Presley would pop into the legendary Formosa Cafe regularly for dining and drinks. Among the interior design restorations is the full reveal of the iconic and original red trolley car, dating back to 1904 and is confirmed to be the oldest surviving red train car in existence. Boxes of autographed celebrity photos and storage units of original memorabilia have made their way back into the Cafe. Today, the Formosa Cafe has been listed among the best Chinese restaurant in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.
