Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜森記麵家

I'm absolutely in love with this place! It's just fantastic. I work nearby, and ever since I found it, I've been coming here for lunch every week. The space is comfy and I never have to wait too long. It's the perfect spot for a regular meal. And let me tell you, the food tastes amazing! But what really sets this place apart is the owner's incredible service. Whenever I finish my lunch, I leave with a big smile on my face, already planning my next visit. Seriously, I recommend this place to everyone. You've got to try it!

It’s incredible. He makes his own fermented sauces and grinds his own vietnamese / thai pastes. I have been in Taipei for a month. Eaten at 60+ restaurants, and 15+ Michelin between here and Tokyo. This is one of my favorite, most memorable experiences. • Fantastic food • Sanitization — he triple washes the vegetables, throws out things that aren’t fresh at the end of the day. • The owner cares and has passion (just look at his humble responses on Google). When you set foot in the store, he is attentive because he is so fast and efficient, he can cook and take care of you. Apparently, he spends 13-15 hours per day there. He even let us try the chicken soup base. There’s a hint of fermented sauce, five spice, slight sweetness from daikon and onion. and a subtle fragrance of cinnamon. Highly recommend getting this consummé.

Got the beef pho and it was great! Very tasty and well made. The owner thought we waited too long from his dinner rush, so he gave us free deep fried pork dumplings. Also delicious! I didn't think we waited very long, so it was a nice surprise :)
