Chef Hung Beef Noodles (Jianguo North Road)

I visited a Taiwanese beef noodle restaurant highly recommended by locals, and it lived up to its reputation in many ways. I ordered the premium beef noodle, which arrived in a generous portion. The beef broth was rich and flavorful, with layers of complex spices that set it apart. The beef itself was tender and well-prepared, adding to the dish’s overall appeal. However, a downside to the experience was the presence of flies around the dining area, which was a bit distracting and impacted the atmosphere. On the positive side, the restaurant offers a convenient self-service station for sauces and utensils, allowing diners to customize their meals. While the price is higher than that of typical local beef noodle spots, the quality of the ingredients and the depth of flavor justify the splurge for those seeking an elevated beef noodle experience.

Scrumptious broths n el dente noodles coupled with tender pieces of beef (all cuts n innards available). This delectable beef noodle outlet is the prize winning recipe and the pride of Taipei. We were lucky to have the wonderful owner join us for our lunch and explain the variety of cuts n dishes available. They have several outlets on the city with comfortable seatings n speedy service. The meal was delicious and well recommended for either a snack or full meal. Helpings were large n the prices extremely reasonable for the quality offered. Truly an award winning meal which will be more than memorable 🙏

Chef Hung’s Beef Noodles exceeded my expectations. Feeling unwell during my trip, I was craving something comforting, and the soup was exactly what I needed. The wait was short, and the staff were exceptionally kind, even offering a free drink. A satisfying meal and great service—would happily return!

Personal favorite beef noodle in Taiwan. The beef slice is smoky , and the meat chunks are so tender and soft. The soup isn’t over powered and i love the handmade wide noodle it’s not chewy.

The beef noodle soup offers a delightful taste with its flavorful broth, although the temperature might be slightly cooler than desired. The beef and tenderloin in the dish are exceptionally tender, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

It didn't win me. The soup felt thin. Everything was just ok and nothing special. If I hadn't heard of it before, I really would not be able to distinguish it from any random beef noodle place.

Delicious beef noodle! We ordered the more expensive bowl, the parts are much better quality. The chilli is unique, it has beef oil.

The staff were friendly but there wasn't much "service" per se. You order at the counter and self serve for drinks and sides. Noodles however are delicious. I had the half tendon half beef noodles with house noodles. The noodles had great texture, the soup was clean tasting, and the beef was tender. Overall very satisfying meal.

The focus here is authentic, Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The broth is lean but flavourful. The "traditional" is our favourite because it's lean. Tried the beef shank which was a fattier cut which lots of folks enjoy. There are refrigerators filled to the brim with red tea, date flavoured red tea and other lovely cold beverages. Tons of incredible salad options including sliced pigs' ear. Our favourite salads are the cucumber and tofu "spaghetti" shreds with seasonings. Absolutely LOVE this local little place. Nice owners.

Quality of the room and hotel. Is feel like super brand new. Is good value. The Breakfast buffet is excellent.

came across this place numerous times during a previous visit in taipei, as i was stayin @CAPITAL HOTEL nearby i saw that they had won some awards & was curious bout da 1 beef noodle that was north of NT$1000 my roomie & i decided 2 try ~ it was pretty yumz 4 sure then on another occasion, we tried their NT$400 beef noodle & that was also pretty yumz during a diff visit 2 taipei, i brought a friend 2 this place, sadly they no longer had that pricey beef noodle anymore :(

Great value, but few seating. Flavor isn't exactly what I'd eat often. Speedy service!

Finally!!!! The beef noodles soup week is over and the winner at this point is Chef Hung. Considering how many championships they've won in beef noodles soup I don't think there is a doubt who comes out on top. They are passionate about the broth, the noodles, and the MEAT!! Boy, my wife even didn't want to drink anything after the meal because she didn't want to mess with the flavor in her mouth. Seriously?! For once I'm not going to recommend one specific dish because I think everything is good here. It really depends on what you personally fancy. Can't wait to return for the 1088NT noodles soup that looks absolutely amazing!!!!

Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef noodles is very popular beef noodles in Taiwan. They has won beef noodle award for few consecutive years. They have other shops open in Vancouver, BC, Los Angeles, CA, Hong Kong & China. Our tour purposely arranged the lunch at there and let us to try ethnic/original Chef Hung beef noodles. Honestly, the flat noodles was great and broth so flavourful. But, the beef shank just ok and the bowl of noodles in small size to us. If you're the big eater, you don't have to worry coz feel free to refill/add noodle if you still hungry. It's free!

Setup: beef noodle soup fix in TW The good: several varieties of soups to choose from, beer to go with, pig ears! Observations: we arrived before opening time so there was no wait Overall recommendation: soup was very good, I can see why it's so popular

Never tried the Taiwanese beef noodles before and just love it. Beef broth is just perfect with big slices of tripes, tendons and cubed beef shanks. For nt$280 you get tea and one appetizer. Too bad they don't have one in Toronto.

It seems they moved down the block from where the address is listed but nonetheless, the beef noodle soup is amazing. I ordered their most popular broth that comes with beef cubes, tendon and tripe. The beef cubes were tender, but the tendons were the highlight for me! It was bouncy, chewy, yet soft in the inside and flavorful! The broth itself is not as heavy as other places. The noodles were chewy as well, which gave a very satisfying bite eat time.

Not sure what the big deal is with this place. Apparently it won numerous awards and bested a bunch of competition... But in reality, it is average at best. Nothing stands out for me. It doesn't taste good, but not bad either. Just kind of bland... The service at this location leaves a lot to be desired... Not full on rude, but kind of don't give a shit you are here kind of way... There are literally countless other choices when it comes to beef noodle soup. I would not come back here.

There is a good reason why a bowl of beef noodle soup is $280NT. The soup is flavorful but not oily, the meat (tendon, beef, and need stomach) are juicy and tender, the homemade noodles are chewy and "Q". It's definitely a splurge for beef noodle soup, but it is well worth it (FYI, you can ask for refill on the soup)! It does get crowded here since this place has won numerous competitions - but the two times we came, we waited no more than 10 min.

It's funny, as a guy with Chinese background and history, I've never really learned to love the taste of beef noodles. It wasn't really my taste since either the broth would be too salty and the beef to be too soft and vice versa. Out here in Taiwan, I found this place on my yelp while looking up noodles in general. Curious about this place, I decided to google it up and what do you know, it is a small franchise that has locations all the way to Irvine, California. Let's talk about atmosphere here. It's a very generic Chinese restaurant. You have the Chinese music and background all around the place. For starters, they offer a good amount of side dishes to start things off. The side dishes included edamames, choy, glass noodles, and radish. The edamame were topped with a pepper and lemon sauce, which complements the cool tasting edamames with the warm sauce. I ordered the regular beef noodle soup, or as famously known in Cantonese "Nao Yoke Tong". These noodles were fat white noodles, which threw me off completely since I was totally used to eating them with thin egg noodles. There's a good amount of broth along with noodles and a fair amount of beef. The noodles were okay in my opinion. Definitely hard to eat because I don't usually like fat noodles. The beef was pretty good. Very soft on the outside and perfect texture. Soaks right in with the broth, which I will get to soon. The broth is the grand prize here. It's literally that good. Extremely rich in flavor and tasty overall. I could literally just drink the soup all day if I wanted to. I even added some chili sauce to heat things up and the beef broth still attained its flavor. Overall, this changed my experience when it comes to beef noodle soup. Come here for the broth itself. Definitely worth coming back here. Well maybe not fly all the way back to the Taiwan location, but I'll give the Irvine spot a try.

Best beef noodle soup!!!!Love the broth so much. So rich and flavorful. Could eat this every week. Ordered it with glass noodles and it was bomb. It runs about 4 American Dollars. Service is awesome and place is simple. When in Taipei, this place is a must

Referred by hotel to go, big portion of beef and noodles, pretty value for money. The chilli butter is really yummy.
