Nangang District, Taipei City｜Tai Guan Sifang Beef Noodle Restaurant

This shop is high on my list for their flavorful soup base (3 varieties) chewy noodle, tender meat, and nice owners who bring your food to the table with a smile. It's clean and the AC works fine. It is small, but accommodated my family of 7 without problem. Beef noodle soup is one of the "must try items" for visitors to Taiwan - along with tea egg, scallion pancake, oyster pancake, baked breakfast pancake pocket with fried donut and soy milk, oyster noodle, boba tea, and fresh buns - gelatinous, panfried and steamed varieties. For the more adventurous: stinky tofu (braised and fried), pork blood cake (great with fish cake soup), braised items (tofu, mushroom, sea kelp...), summer noodles (cold and refreshing), and many summer treats (snow/shaved ice, traditional summer goodies - both sweet and savory. Most can be found in the night markets and it's pretty safe to follow the long queues. Enjoy with an open mind.

A small shop near Houshanpi MRT station. The decoration is elegant, the staff are friendly, the price is reasonable, and the noodles are generous. Girls suggest ordering a small bowl. The clear stew is smooth and delicious, but the soup is a bit oily; the braised soup is sweet until the end is a little spicy, which is very delicious. The beef is very soft and delicious, and the noodles are quite elastic. It is so delicious that I want to come again next time😋

Easily my favorite beef noodle shop in Taipei. I love the broth (not too rich), the beef is super tender, and the noodles are really nice. The large portion will definitely fill you up. Nice side dishes as well. Nice, clean interior as well!
