"Four Four South Village, named after the Taiwan military village where the beef noodle soup was allegedly conceived, is best known for its wide menu of the iconic Taiwanese dish. Taiwanese beef noodle soups are presented in a variety of stocks, including the popular red-braised soup, a more clear beef broth-based variety. A number of derivations use tomato paste, spicy additions, and other adjustments, too. A representative take, no matter the base, should come with tendon and tripe. For those interested in a fuller Taiwanese experience, take advantage of the extensive lu (braised) sides menu, from unctuous pork knuckles to crunchy pig ears with a side of the spicy peanuts." - John Tsung, Eater Staff
