Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle

The beef noodle is good. The dessert is great, better than I expected. Have a free drink if order an noodle or rice. The drink is toasty.

we had the first and third options of the menu (beef brisket clear soup and award winning beef shank tendon and tripe). The food was delicious, but yet I can't make me think of Taiwan or hk where I had some of the most tasty beef noodles. There was a BOGO promo of milk tea with pudding, tasted quite good as well However regarding the service, I would say it was rather disappointing on how they manage the dining time of each table. We arrived there at around 1345, however we were kinda forced to pay the bill at 1417 while we have finished our noodle but chatting and enjoying our drinks. The restaurant was 90% empty and we do not understand why they have to rush for that. The food is expensive and not worth if we are required to finish them in a fast food speed...

Decent food and service. Beef noodle tasted like they put a lot of different spices into it, creating a broth with depth and richness. Not the best Taiwanese beef noodle I've had, but it'll do. Also has an amazing view at night.

We went for lunch on lunar New Year’s Eve. The A1 and A2 beef noodle soup with flat noodle tasted really good. I would give the noodles five stars. The reason for the four stars is because the 小笼包( soup dumplings) didn’t taste fresh - the meet tasted like it was frozen. Also for the drinks when we ordered milk tea with pearls we were told we needed to wait an hour for them to be ready. Otherwise staff was very friendly and would absolutely go back for the noodle soup again.

We’ve been to this restaurant for 20 years when craving for beef noodles. Went for lunch today. Noodle soups taste great as usual, for a solid five star. The one star review is given to the waiter Nick, who was unapproachable and unprofessional when serving customers. He embarrassed us by raising his voice in a quiet surroundings, and walked away from our table in the middle of the conversation. Sorry Nick, no tips but a Google review.

Chef Hung has superbly delicious dishes. They are not only known for their delicious beef noodles, but also for the various pastries/dumplings/buns and wraps. For the first time, we had their lunch combo special, which is comprised of both beef noodle soup, shredded beef on rice, pickled vegetable, mango pudding and a special drink. Each item in the lunch-combo is outstanding in its own right. We have been here many times (lunch and dinner) and have always had fantastic meals. Highly recommended!

Delicious noodles, price is decent. They also have some good variety of other food selections available. Service is quick and to the point. I wouldn’t say they are friendly, but certainly will bring what you ask without questions asked.

We had a beef noodle soup with rice noodle, beef wrap and xiao long bao (steamed pork soup dumplings). The noodle soup was delicious and was not that salty as others reviewed so we were relieved. Xiao long bao was plain, nothing special. The beef wrap was also decent but there was not really anything too special about it. The staff were very friendly and quick. I recommend others to try the place!

Really yummy place to get Taiwanese beef noodles. Their food quality is consistent and I really appreciate that in a restaurant. The soup isn't oily and overly salty like other Taiwanese beef noodles restaurants. Service is great, I always see the servers walking around refilling tea and checking on tables.

Haven't been here in years but needed a quick stop before catching our flight that the kids could agree on so noodles it is! We got: Beef Tendon & Shank Noodles Taiwanese Chicken Cutlet on Rice Beef Wrap Everything was solid with good chew on the thick noodles. My little LOVED the noodles but wouldn't touch much of anything else. The restaurant wasn't busy so it made me question my coming here since most of the other restaurants in the mall were super busy. Overall good but not amazing beef noodle soup.

Been here many many years ago and never came back. Why? I'm not sure myself. It still serves the same goodness as far as I can remember. Beef soup is rich and hearty, the deep smell of star anise and tender beef shank and tendons spells authentic Taiwanese food. It's definitely a place to come when the tummy needs comfort during cold winter nights.

Came by with a friend on a Saturday evening around 7pm. There were still plenty of tables so we were able to be seated immediately. We had a really delicious meal overall! I ordered their specialty braised beef noodle soup. The broth was so fragrant (and authentic! you know as soon as you drink the first sip if the broth is really Taiwanese beef noodle soup or not haha). Noodles were thick and chewy - so yummy :) The beef was a bit on the tougher side (somewhat spongey and hard to chew) but the flavour was not bad (just not that tender imo). There was also fatty beef in my soup, which was a bit strange because I feel like it's not usually found in Taiwanese beef noodle soups. But, it was unexpectedly tasty, and honestly I might have to try to include this in the future now LOL We also got the boiled gaoli cabbage to share.. and it was literally just boiled? Idk if this was my fault for not taking the menu at face value. I love gaoli cabbage but was not a fan of this dish; it wasn't very flavourful and I didn't feel like the sauce they put on top really paired well with the cabbage. I just ended up dumping it all in the beef broth, and it was much better that way :P All in all a very tasty meal - filling, authentic, and not too expensive either. Would love to come back - the menu looked like there were so many delicious options to choose for next time!

Flew from New York and this was one of the closest places by the hotel where I was staying at. I was craving soup noodles so this place caught my eye. Went like an hour before their closing time and ordered the A1, A2 and the green onion pancakes. The soup noodles were very good. Hot and flavorful broth and chewy, bouncy noodles, but not the best. The green onion pancake, skip it. It was doughy and undercooked, not crispy or tasty at all. The place is nicely decorated and the service is fast. I would recommend for the noodles, if you are really craving Taiwanese beef noodles, but that's it.

This place is always consistently good and a highlight pit stop on our drive from wa to Vancouver. The beef wrap is always delicious and the beef noodle soups are hearty and had good broth. This is hands down a delicious restaurant. They do make one of my favorite beef noodle soups. The restaurant in itself is nice. On a week day it's not too crowded.

Fast fast service, beef noodle is really authentic, always same hearty food, their black fungus and cucumbers as side dish is really refreshing, beef shank noodle with think handmade noodles is a must try, make sure you can tolerate spicy if you choose their hottest soup

The kids were intrigued with the moving fake noodle display in front of the restaurant and claims of award winning noodles; so we came in for a try. I ordered their Champion Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. The soup had a herby medicinal taste to it that I'm not a fan of. The brisket that came with the noodles was a THICK piece of meat and very chewy; I had to leave almost 1/2 uneaten as I could not chew through the meat. I would not recommend. For almost $20, the noodle portion was also quite small. Our party had ordered noodles and sides but ended up having to fill up at the food court afterwards still. On the plus side, the Matcha Shaved Ice with Red Bean was fairly good. And they had a BOGO free Chatime Roasted Milk Tea promo when we went.

I thought we needed to make reservations given it was a Saturday evening like most places. To my surprise, no reservations needed around 6pm. Food was okay. Nothing spectacular and nothing bad either. My A1 beef with flat noodles was fine. It had an "herby" flavor to it and not spicy. The scallion pie was okay too, a bit heavy and not too chewy. We did a "buy one, get one free" drink which was kumquat with lemonade. That was refreshing. Dumplings were probably the better items. Service was a bit underwhelming The pork belly rice was okay. I'm surprised it didn't come with an egg or side of pickles. I could of cooked the flavors better. The twiced baked fried pork chop was good.

Bad food and not clean. Food poison! They used to be good but now it sucks. We ordered two noodles and two appetizers. We Both got food poisoning.

Go at least an hour before posted closing time!! I read that they turn away folks 30 min before closing, so I thought 45 min before closing would be safe. It's not! They said last order was already past. Kitchen was cleaning up and no customers were in the restaurant anymore. To be fair, if you walk into Aberdeen Centre most of it is already closed after 8 pm. I wish they would post their last order time on Yelp/Maps though! We were split on going here or returning to another Taiwanese noodle shop north on No. 3 Rd, came here, and then had to rush up to the other shop on foot. The way the hostess turned us away, was a bit curt, so we had doubts about coming back. I'm glad that we did. We got takeaway since we thought the service might not be good, but the same hostess was pleasant. Bags are an extra cost, I had my own, and the hostess asked to take my bag to pack my order for me. She did a great job of packing, no spills. Plain noodle soup w flat noodles: the soup is good enough. I liked the other Taiwanese noodle shop's soup better but the flat noodles are a MUST. They look and taste handmade and take the flavour of the beef soup well. Usually am a thin noodle person too. Love love love. Popcorn chicken/chicken nugget: finally, a popcorn chicken with fried basil! It's a little hard to judge the quality of meat since there was a bit of time between when I got the food and when I could eat it, but I really enjoyed the added flavour from the basil.

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat for an early Saturday dinner since we were in the area. It was almost completely empty when my friend and I walked in around 5 pm. You can write in your order on the menu. As it was my first time here, I obviously had to get the beef noodle soup, but even that was a difficult decision, as they offer so many variations of it. I ultimately went with the A8, which has beef shank and tendon, for $15.95. You can also choose the noodle. I was going for the flat noodles I saw in a couple of Yelp pictures, but alas, mistakes were made and I chose the wrong one. I also tried the chicken nuggets ($8.45). The fried chicken was pretty solid, as was the beef noodle soup. The tendon and shank were both super tender and the broth flavorful, but next time I will get the standard flat noodles instead of the rice noodles. Also, they gave me so much noodles that by the time I finished eating all the meat and drinking the broth, I still had a huge pile of noodles in my bowl... They have lots of appetizers and rice dishes on the menu as well as shaved ice and milk tea drinks, so there should be something here for everyone!

Th beef noodles were authentic Taiwanese style with al dente pasta (definitely order the thick noodles) and the beef broth is very flavorful. Some of the side dishes such as the pig ear and jellyfish were superb. The dumplings were oddly shaped but decent.

Satisfactory Taiwanese beef noodle soup place. As a Taiwanese, I have a bit of high standards for Taiwanese food given the food I was exposed to growing up. The beef noodle soup does its job but not necessarily superior. The lou rou fan also is similar but not quite there. Fried tempura is again not comparable to those in Taiwan. I would come here again if I'm looking just for noodle soup of some sort.

Came here pre-covid... Nice location for the restaurant in Aberdeen Centre... staff was friendly and service was good... came here with friends and wasn't difficult to get a table for dinner. Shared appetizers: scallion pancakes and jellyfish... Love jellyfish however, the jellyfish is spicy even though our server confirmed it wasn't... Beef noodle was ok...noodles a bit thicker than expected. Each restaurant does it differently...so just have to get used to.

Came here before lockdown for a nice soup, ordered their beef brisket noodles, soup was soothing, it has the right amount of spiciness yet still flavoursome, the brisket is tender and veggies are not over cooked . I also had the chicken wings which for some reason it was not tender(3/5). I was surprise that they do have milk shaved ice for dessert which I really like the lychee mango and the creaminess of the shaved ice. For this order, I was satisfied with the food, the service, as well as the price is just right. I'd love to come back here more for their other main dishes as I see a lot of good ones to try.

Ordered beef broth noodle, award winning champion noodle, and fried chicken cutlet rice. Coming from Seattle, this was really good. Not good enough to understand how this place won a bunch of awards, but still delicious. Chicken cutlet was fried wonderfully. Award winning noodles were good but tasted "fake" like it was an imitation of an actually award winning noodles dish.

Awesome beef noodle soup. Located in Aberdeen Centre on the second floor, on the opposite side of the mall from Daiso Apparently this is a chain from Taiwan. What to order: A1: champion beef brisket with noodle in clear soup. We like it with thin noodle and no spicy broth tho wide and spicy is good too. Non spicy just gives you more beef flavor For sides the marinated egg is a nice complement Baby cucumber and kalimeris (if you want to try something different) are good too Tip- get a coupon book from mall customer service (foreigners only) and get a 5% off coupon

Recently, I went back to this place for lunch with a friend of mine. On that day, we ordered Braised Beef Tendon & Shank with Noodle in Soup and Marinated Beef Wrap. Both dishes tasted great, even better than the last time I visited this place.

Chef Hung is a Richmond beef noodle house staple. Located on the second floor of Aberdeen Mall, this nice little noodle joint is your standard Taiwanese noodle house. Food is good and service is fairly efficient. The beef noodles have a good broth and the beef is tasty. I opted for the thick noodles which were perfectly cooked with a great texture. We also ordered the marinated beef rolls and chicken nuggets which were both satisfying. Overall a decent beef noodle restaurant with your standard Taiwanese fair. Nothing was outstanding, but everything was good. No complaints.

So after watching chonnyday eat noodles i started craving some taiwanese hand pulled noodles. Idk WHY this place was suggested but it was the worst i've ever eaten lol. Came at around 3pm, it was empty.. we were literally the only table being served (red flag #1) but i guess not many eat at that time so i thought maybe that's why? we ordered the cold beef slice in chilli, green onion pancake and fried fish cake for appetizers. they were all horrible lol. beef slices were DRY af, 0 chilli oil and was just disgusting imo (most likely sitting in the fridge for days, or tasted like it anyway) fish cake was 10% fish 90% flour and the pancake was just bland and boring. (red flag #2) i got the spicy beef/tendon noodle soup. it looked good, but the stench of the meat threw me off lol. Noodles were WAY TOO THICK. As i picked up a piece of meat (dry) i saw a short (what looked like) nostril hair or eyelash or whatever it was AND wherever it came from, it was GROSS. my appetite was just gone at this point. i couldn't even eat it after that. The stench, the hair and the thick ass noodles made what looked decent, garbage. My bowl was basically untouched, 20$ a bowl.. waste of money lmao. NEVER AGAIN, SAVE YOUR MONEY & APPETITE! I'd give it 0 stars if i could lol!

We came to chef hung, because we were craving some noodles that weren't too heavy. Lets just say they have a good variety here, and on weekdays they aren't busy, which means no wait, and very well social distanced. * Beef brisket noodle clear soup - rice noodle ($15.95) ~ The rice noodles were the thin vermicelli rice noodles instead of the thicker rice noodles in use to. There was a lot of noodles, but maybe its because its vermicelli so it seems like a lot. The meat lacked a lot, so little meat and it was so thinly sliced only like 4 pieces of meat.... I felt like this wasn't worth the price for sure... the soup was nice and clear I really liked it as it was herbally, and clear. Perfect if you don't want something heavy. * Beef noodle in tomato soup ($13.95) ~The soup was nice and rich very tomato. The broth is very good, and the noodles were nice and chewy. Good flavours and good noodles. * Marinated beef wrap 8pcs ($9.95) ~ this was very delicious, good portion and very well wrapped nice layer of beef. Nice layer of sauce and flavour. This is super good the wrap is nice and crunchy, very delicious 100% recommend. * Pan fried chives pork shrimp dumpling ($8.95) ~ THESE WERE GOOD, they were crispy on the outside, but super juicy on the inside. Careful expect a splatter of juice everywhere! Very juicy and tender meat. Loved the flavours of this. * 8/10 ~ The soup was good, and nice and clear. The portion was on the smaller side, but I feel like the appetizers we got was well worth the flavours and price. * 7/10 ~ the price isn't cheap especially for the portion you get. But overall the bill wasn't expensive, but rather cheap compared to our other eats. Total bill before tip: $51.24. * 10/10 ~ contact information is written down, hand sanitizer prior to entry, mask required. Temperature check on either wrist or forehead. Very good social distancing around restaurant. They weren't busy either and it was very safe!

met up with a very good buddy of mine, and he suggested we try this place in aberdeen mall. all i can say is that i was blown away. the broth of the taiwanese beef noodles soup was very very superior. it can surely rival any good place in vancouver. packed full of beef vigor and essence, you can instantly tell, a lot of love, dedication, and skill went into making this noodle soup. beef chunks so tender and melt in your mouth. noodles al dente and cooked perfectly. the beef wrap was equally superb. not too oily and the beef not stringy at all. very tenser and moist and full of flavour. service was quick. covid precautions very very good. temp check at the door and then a mask is required to get in but you can take it off inside. i would surely repeat! cheers! happy eating!

I saw Chef Hung open for dine-in for the first day that restaurants were allowed to open eat in. After dine-in at many places since then, my friends and I both agree that Chef Hung has the best precautions! They asked us to sanitize our hands, if we had any listed symptoms, and a temperature check⁠ ...etc before coming in. Seats were disinfected after customers left we found out. Their staff all were wearing masks and gloves. When my friends came back again last weekend and their precautions were still the same! For food, their soup base is still just as good, very flavourful but not heavy for the stomach. The meat is tender If anyone is still skeptical about eating out, this restaurant is the best to start out with!

**COVID-19 reopening review** We got our craving of Taiwanese noodles and came here for a meal. The restaurant requires forehead temperature checks prior to entry. Once entered patrons are seated at least one table apart. We ordered their #1 and #3. The food came really fast and service was attentive - perhaps it is because of a lot less tables are open. We really enjoyed the broth to #3. Good meat-to-noodle ratio. The beef roll is quite disappointing. Lacked flavour in the meat, the wrap and the sauce. Overall, quite nice bowl of noodle - kind of expensive, but not bad.

Beef noodle soup is a must on every Taiwanese menu, and Chef Hung won the best beef noodle soup award three years in (almost) a row in a national competition back in Taiwan. Beef noodle soup is such an important dish for Taiwan, kind of like what ramen is to Japan. So I was very excited to try this restaurant when we were in Richmond, British Columbia, which is already known for having some of the best Asian food on the planet (people often say the Chinese is the best food outside of Hong Kong, for example). The Champion beef noodle soup had a unique simplicity to its broth -- both layered in its rich meat flavors but not overly reliant on red chiles or star anise as I usually find it to be. It wasn't salty but in fact a bit light, in contrast to the chewy, handmade quality of the thick noodles (you can pick a different type of noodle, but the thick type is the more traditional kind). The stewed beef shank could have been more tender in my opinion but none the less was great. There is also a version of this dish that has the beef brisket plus the tendons, but the one I tried was just the meat. All the portions were very plentiful, and the smaller items that would come with just two items were surprisingly huge. We also ordered a bunch of the fried small eats, which are common for a Taiwanese eatery. We got --shredded daikon cakes (I don't see this on menus often but it was a childhood favorite of mine so I was thrilled to eat it. Each cake was the size of my fist -- double what I am used to) --boiled dumplings in soup --green onion pancake (didn't have enough green onion flavor and was a bit dry) --fried pork dumplings that were more like mini meat pies (the tastiest thing we got but kind of oily) I'm glad that there is one location in the U.S., in Irvine California, so I look forward to trying Chef Hung closer to home!

They asked me if I should do a review..... I said it's about time. Forget buying your ticket to fly to Taipei - save your money and time; just come and enjoy the soup here. Order the dark coloured soup - go for the thin noodles.

It is really good, it blows my mind!!! The tomato soup in the bowl that I ordered was very hearty, sweet in a good way, snd the best.

Awesome Beef Noodle soup and access to Chatime Milk Tea and Frappe bliss shaved ice within Aberdeen centre. I had no idea they had Chatime and Shaved Ice and was really excited when it was on the menu. I ordered Chatime Grass Jelly Roasted milk tea, Beef Noodle Soup, and Taiwanese Deep Fried Chicken Thigh. Service - Once you're seated, they gave us a paper to write down our order. I really like this because I'm prone to accidentally ordering the wrong thing and I'm a little awkward. Beef Noodle Soup - The broth for the Beef Noodle Soup is amazing. The Taiwanese noodles are very chewy and delicious. This was the stand out dish. I love how you can choose your noodles. Taiwanese Deep Fried Chicken Thigh with Noodle Soup - I really like this dish served anywhere and Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle did not disappoint. I chose the flat noodles. The broth was clear and the noodles were chewy. The fried chicken balanced that out giving me a very balanced meal. Chatime Grass Jelly Roasted milk tea - This is always good and easily my favourite bubble tea drink. This was perfection and goes really well with any meal ever. Overall, I would come back. I really love the ordering system, how you can choose the noodles, and how there is Chatime and Frappe Bliss on the menu.

I would leave zero stars if I could. The food is terrible for the price they have the audacity to charge you. To make it even worse it is not even close to authentic. You should not call yourself a restaurant, you should call yourself a shithole. The service and food feels ridiculously garbage. The host was rude. Manager was rude as well, no wonder why. Come here if you want attitude, being hamulated and insulted. Good that the restaurant was damn near empty, hope it goes down. Took ages to get food. Food was dry, feels like re-heat and microwave shit you can buy in any Chinese supermarket. I am not joking, this is the worst service I have ever experienced. Go ANYWHERE else, anywhere you can possible think of. This is the lowest you can possibly find in Richmond, BC. Don't endanger yourself just to drive here and make yourself an idiot to eat here and give out you money to them, I would rather tip staff in McDonalds. PLAIN F-ING GARBAGE.

Not too bad for mall food. Bot too good either though. The noodles here are the highlight. Our large group had several varieties and I think the tomato broth version was the best... everything else was OK. Service was decent. We wouldn't go back though.

We had a lot of food with a group of friends- overall we left with happiness in our 'belly' :). The tomato based thin noodles were very tasty. Not greasy and the beef is extremely tender. Wished there were a few more pieces of beef. Noodles were nice and chewy. The beef tendons were one of the best I have had. The braised beef rice (Roo Rou fan) had very good flavor. We ordered the tea eggs, it would have been nice if they have the eggs with the rice. Not a big deal, eggs are $2.75 CA each. Nice combination. The side dishes were very tasty too- black fungus ( vinegary) pop corn chicken, Taiwanese sausage, red bean pancake. I have had better beef pancake and chive pancakes.

We read about this place and decided to try it out before leaving BC. This place does not disappoint. So much regret of NOT trying this place when we first arrived to BC when it was wet & cold. Definitely worth the extra weight gain stuffing our face with deep fried pork chops and pan fried prk dumpling. Also a black tea with grass jelly. ... yummmmm... My advice: don't dump the little dip dish of pickled cabbage into the noodle soup. Put alittle on the spoon as you eat the noodles to really taste the full flavor.

Tugged away on the second floor of the Aberdeen Centre Mall, they serve one of the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup in town. My favourite are definitely he Champion Beef noodles and the other one in tomato broth. I usually go for the traditional (thick) noodles as it reminds me of the ones I had in Taipei. The broth is always flavourful and the noodles "Q" (Taiwanese term for al dente).

There is nothing tastier than a high quality bowl of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, and Chef Hung nails this! There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant, so my group was seated immediately, even on a Friday night. The Cold Jellyfish appetizer was refreshing and tasty. The jellyfish was noticeably fresh and had a good crunch. The Mashed Red Bean Pancake was also good. The red beans were not overly sweetened, and the pancake was on the doughy side. The A4 beef noodle soup comes with Beef Tripe, Tendon, and Shank. The Tripe soaks up the broth, filling it with flavor. The Tendon was super tender. The Shank was also very tender, and had minimal fat. The thick noodles are chewy and soak up just enough of the broth for the flavor. The broth is surprisingly clear for a beef-broth. There was no noticeable oil deposits, so you really just get to drink beefy goodness. For such good prices and high quality food, Chef Hung is a must-go while in Richmond!

My friends and I decided to eat at this place before our flight back to LA. The place looked clean from the outside but the when the server seated us at a table in the back we noticed there were a bunch of little flying bugs possibly fruit flies around the table. We immediately asked if we could get a different table. We then picked a table towards the middle of the restaurant and it seemed to have solved the bug issue. Now on to the food, we ordered the #3 and #4 noodles and the beef wrap roll as well. As we were sitting there waiting for the food, it got really hot inside because there was no AC. Even though all the blinds were down, the heat still seeped through and it felt extremely hot. Not sure why there's no AC since the plaza had AC. When the food came, we tried the noodles and it was good. Then came the beef wrap and one bite into it, I felt it was weird. Not being able to pin point exactly what was weird i kept taking consecutive bites. My friend took a few bites and also felt the same. A third friend took one bite and immediately knew something was off. The wrap did not have the same taste as what we were accustomed to and there was a sour taste. Since we couldn't figure out what caused the sour taste, I decided to eat item of the wrap separately. First I tried the wrap, it seemed ok. Then i tried the beef and that seemed fine too. Lastly I tried the cucumber and it seemed ok. But weirdly when you eat it all together it tasted off. My friends and I finally gave up and stopped eating it (which was more than half the plate left) because we didn't want a stomach ache on the plane ride. On our way out, my friend saw the container of cucumber sitting on the counter top in the kitchen and we immediately came to the conclusion that the cucumber must have gone bad. So funny thing is, we try to pick a place that didn't have a location in CA and what do you know? There is a location in Irvine, CA. Was going to try the Irvine location and compare the food BUT seeing how bad of an experience we had, I will not be going. Was totally disappointed on how a chinese restaurant can mess up on beef wrap roll.

Champion Taiwanese Beef Noodle?! I definitely had high expectation before my visit to Chef Hung. I am even willing to pay $13 to try this out. At this price point, I expect something that is so amazing that would have brings tears to my eyes. Flat Thick Noodles was good. Love the texture and the chewiness. But both the broth and braised beef were disappointing bland aside from saltiness. The side dish we ordered on the other hand was just bland and under seasoned. Maybe it is me that not used to the "Champion" level of how authentic Taiwanese noodle should tasted like. I left a little confused but now I know I love my homemade Taiwanese noodle the best!

The food's always good. High quality noodles, high quality broth. And don't sleep on the appetizers and dessert too. Especially the snow ice. It's like ice cream and shaved ice if you combined it and turned it into SNOW. It's a magical dessert. But forget about all of that for a second. I want to talk about what a steaming pile of shit their customer service is. The service at this place gets worse and worse each time I visit. The setup was fine. They brought us our menus, utensils, and tea. But after that, they decided to take a shit on customer service every chance they got. To order at this place, you fill out a paper menu with a pencil with your desired items, then wait for the waiter to come collect the menu. With this style of ordering, it seems like it would be common decency for the waiter to come check up on you to see if you've finished filling out your sheet. But the waiters at this place like to pretend you don't exist after they drop off the initial items, and then make you flag them down to turn in your order form. It's also pretty normal for waiters to come check in once in the middle of the meal to top up drinks and make sure we're good. Well, they like to skip that part too at this Chef Hung's. You'd think that since we ordered dessert, they would at LEAST keep track of when we were almost done eating. But they took their sweet ass time wandering around the restaurant ignoring us. We finally flagged down someone to let them know we're done eating and would like our dessert. The lady who was the manager, I think, immediately went to grab our dessert. But she didn't clear our table of our empty plates first. Rookie mistake, but forgivable. We had a very obvious portion of appetizer that was left on our table though, and she didn't ask us if we were finished with it, or ask if we wanted a box. At this point the salt is strongly flowing through me. They toss us another curve ball by giving us 3 spoons total, for a party of 5. Well thank you very much manager lady. I can see your counting skills are top tier. I could've forgiven them for all of this, if that was the end of it. But they decided to take one giant mega shit to end all shits at the end. When we attempted to pay, the manager lady claimed that their credit card reader was broken so they could only accept cash. Well luckily, my girlfriend is observant, quick witted, and can speak Chinese. She saw that they checked out a party just 5 minutes earlier with their credit card just fine. She laid the smack down in Chinese and tore that manager lady a new asshole. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's lying to your customers. Whether it's about your credit card reader, or your lack of cake we ordered (see McCormick & Schmick's review). If my girlfriend didn't love their god damn noodles, I would never step foot in this place again.

Award winning beef noddle soup indeed! So delicious. I love that you have an option of what type of handmade noodle to get, and I personally prefer the traditional thick noodles like what I had back in Taiwan. They say they're handmade, and it definitely tastes that way - perfectly al dente! The broth was flavorful but not spicy enough for me, so I would recommend adding more chili oil if you like spice. They have some other traditional Taiwanese snacks and bubble tea that are pretty enjoyable as well. Service was mediocre but efficient. Parking sucks - but it's a mall..so what do you expect? We came for lunch and there wasn't a wait, but I've walked by a few times when there's been a line out the door.

We were running super late and arrived at the restaurant at 8:50p. Their last seating is at 9pm! As you walk in, the kitchen is behind glass windows to the left. We felt awfully guilty seeing the chefs cleaning up and shaking their heads! LOL! Anyway, we ordered quickly and the food was deliver nice and Hot! We ordered - Beef shank and tendon with noodle soup, beef shank with rice noodle soup, minced pork with brown beans over rice noodles, and beef shank and tripe with noodle soup. Now for the flavor...OMG! The beef broth was delicious! It was rich and flavorful with lots of Unami! The rice and flour noodles are made in house. I had the thin flour noodles and they were cooked perfectly al dente. I would definitely return here again to try different dishes or the same noodle soup! The restaurant is located on the second floor of the Alberdeen Centre Mall.

Homemade Noodle - you can see them making noodles through the glass window. Good taste, reasonable price, nice atmosphere, convenient location. I always order noodle soup at this place, always satisfied. 麺を作っているところが窓から見えます。 色々な太さの麺があるので、好きな太さの麺を選んで好きなスープを選びます。なかなかおいしいです。アバディーンセンターの中にあるので、ダイソーなどにも立ち寄ったり、上のフードコートでデザートやドリンクを楽しんだりと、ロケーションも手ごろです。

Green onion pancake ($5.45+tax) was not what I am used to because it's not crispy. It was more on the doughy/chewy side. It didn't have too much green onion flavour as well. I didn't enjoy eating this at all. Braised Beef Tendon & Shank Flat Noodle ($12.95+tax). Flat noodles is my go-to noodle. Super nommy! The noodles were chewy and the beef noodle soup had perfect amount of flavour. The beef shank was tender and not dry. The tendon had a jelly-like softness texture. I enjoyed this dish! I have always enjoyed their beef noodle soups. I haven't had a good experience from their snacks though.

- an overhyped Taiwanese restaurant - I went to this seemingly famous taiwanese noodle place with my family for lunch in Aberdeen Centre last Friday. Braised beef tendon & tripe with vermicelli in soup: I feel happy that you can pick the type of noodles that you want. You can choose thick noodles, thin noodles, rice noodles or vermicelli. I chose vermicelli as it's not that filling so I can eat more other food. The beef tendon and tripe were tender and well flavored. However, the soup was too weak. The soup did improve once you added pickles by the side. Champion beef shank with noodle in soup: beef and the texture of noodles were fine. Again, the soup was too weak. Cold mixed jellyfish: nice texture but not salty enough. Marinated beef wrap: I love the sauce but I hope they can be a bit more generous. Pan fried slice radish cake: hm... I don't like it. Pork & cabbage dumplings: well flavored and juicy. I wish I could have more. The service was so-so. At the end of our lunch, they wheeled a cart of garbage out from the kitchen through the entrance which was very smelly. I think that might be the only way to throw their garbage out, so its forgivable. But still, it was very smelly. My husband said their soup used to be stronger and delicious. I don't know about that. I don't mind going there again but I guess it probably won't be suggested by me.

Boyfriend got the traditional beef noodle while I got the tomato broth one The noodle texture was al dente and perfect the broth was good. Unfortunately the meat was not very tender. I did not like the tomato broth very much and wished I got the original. The beef roll was so-so.

I had the flat wide noodles and they were cooked al-dente (slightly hard) just the way I like it. The beef was tender and the broth needed a bit more flavour to it, but overall a good bowl of noodles. The broth was supposed to be a bit spicy but I didn't find it spicy at all. It came with a little side of pickled mustard veg which was really delicious. A bit pricey compared to other places @ $12.45/bowl. The space is clean, modern and had a good open atmosphere to it with all the tall windows overlooking Hazelbridge. Service was good and prompt. Our food came out quickly and teas were consistently refilled.

Nom nom nom! This has to be my favorite Taiwanese noodle place around! This place is located on the 2nd floor of Aberdeen mall. This may not always be my go to place since the food court here is so awesome. But when I crave Taiwanese noodle I always think of here! I always order A4 (tendon, shank & omasum). Their award winning spicy broth. To be warned, if you don't order there extra spicy soup (for an extra dollar) and you really like spicy, the spice level isn't there. I usually add about 2-3 spoon fulls of their chili oil. But for those who don't eat spicy, the spice level is just nice! The broth is very flavourful and better than most. They have other kinds of broths I haven't tried yet so something for everyone. My favorite thing about this place is their noodles! I always order the flat noodles that traditionally come with beef noodle. They're always perfectly Al dente with great bite. They make their noodles in house which is probably why they're so good! Another bonus is that they serve Chatime bubbletea at this location! Not the full menu but they have the staples!

I can't remember the last time I've had a bowl of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. I've been eating a lot of different other types of soup noodles such as ramen, pho, rice noodle lately but should really be getting back to my Taiwanese roots! Arrived late Sunday afternoon to Chef Hung in Aberdeen Center (Richmond), restaurant was relatively full but still 2-3 tables remaining. No wait! I still remember when I was in high school when there were almost no famous "chains" in Vancouver but now the culture has totally changed! So many Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean chains expanding overseas and I'm so happy about that. Chef Hung came early on and they sure have expanded many locations since entering Canada (Vancouver). A4 Award Winning Beef Shank, Tendon, & Tripe with Noodle in Soup Of course, I had to get the Beef Noodle Soup! I'm a fan of tendon so I decided to get the one that had everything in it. Why not right? There is a spicy sign on the menu, but trust me, this bowl of noodle soup isn't spicy at all! I loved the tripe and tendon but thought that the shank was on the drier side. The noodles may seem hard for some people but to me they were really chewy! The soup is more on the saltier side and really heavy soy sauce taste. D32 Cold Mixed Jellyfish This is your typical Cold Jellyfish bowl. Really nice to pair with a bowl of hot noodle soup. Again, not spicy at all. A14 Noodle Topped with Ground Pork Sauce This "Zha Jiang Mian" is another super Taiwanese item on the menu. One thing I really love about this dish is you can make it easily at home but everyone has their own way of making this simple dish. Whenever I go back to Taiwan, I always request my grandma to make her recipe for me. She not only uses ground meat, but also puts some hard tofu and green onion. Chef Hung's is definitely a bit more plain compared to my grandma's dish but nonetheless, I love it. One thing I do want to mention is....I'm not sure if they use MSG or not, but I got super thirsty after. Had to drink cups and cups of water! Thought I would be really surprised if they do use MSG because these famous chain restaurants usually don't put these added preservatives in. They focus much on how they cook the broth for hours and hours, and the ingredients in the broth. But anyways, kinda salty maybe! I'm a huge soup noodle fan. Gotta have my #noods!

Located in the Aberdeen Center. Liked its beef noodle soup although my friend didn't like the thick ones. It's jellyfish was a bit spicy although the waiter said it wasn't when we ordered.

Chef Hung is located in Aberdeen Center (Richmond). The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived around 7ish - 8pm. The interior is clean and has an upscale feel to it. There were tables for two and tables to fit a group. There's also a private room in the back for larger parties. Their specialty is their Taiwanese beef noodle soup, but they also offer other items for non-beef eaters. I ordered a plain noodle soup and had the choice to choose my noodles (e.g., thin, rice noodle, vermicelli, or flat noodle). The broth and noodles were delicious and handmade. The people in my party enjoyed what they ordered. We also shared some side dishes, which were good. I would revisit if I was in Richmond again.
