The cold noodles were refreshing and satisfying—perfect for a casual meal. The location is also a big plus, being close to the night market, which makes it a convenient stop while exploring the area. Overall, a solid and reliable place worth trying.

The noodles were a nice texture and I enjoyed the sauce. I recommend ordering it spicy. I didn’t like the soup as much though the tofu inside it was good, the soup itself was lightly sweet which I didn’t enjoy.

hmm it was nice noodles but not too sure about the Michelin Bib recognition.. Service was fast and efficient.

This place is a must!! Can’t have enough of this amazing cold noodle. Dunno what the sauce is.. but tastes like peanuts and perhaps mixed with sesame. Line outside is for takeout , so if you want to dine-in just go through the side. The worker asks is i was okay with spicy and pork, and i said yes to both. I didn’t get the soup for side, and i regret it. Taste is amazing, service is good, and price was great!! :) Overall i would visit thousand more times.

Absolutely delicious. While at Shilin night market, you must go and have those cold noodles. Taste of sesame dressing with a nice spicy kick (which we picked when asked, you can have spicy or not), few pieces of cucumber I think and the whole thing just works. Simple ingredients but very good for the tastebuds. Less than 2 usd for a small portion which is actually not that small at all. A must try no doubt.

Simplicity but best. From the look I can only pick up 4 things ( noodle, sauce, cucumber and bit of pickle). Curiosity made me trying this thing how the hell this place can get in the radar of Michelin for 6 years in a row. From 2019 - 2024. Took a bite and shockingly nice. My mouth start experiencing the umaminess of the sauce. It quite garlicky but sexy in flavour.

The cold noodles is really good. It is actually dandan noodles with a bit of fresh sliced cucumber and ham. It was simple a just delicious. At TWD60 per small plate, there is plenty of room for the stinky taufu which is available as well. The stinky taufu was freshly fried hence was pretty good. It is recommended to add some chilli to the taufu. The chilli has some soy beans added hence was very good. The seating space is very limited and cramped. The owners does not really mind having customers eating other food that are bought from other street vendors which is good. Only thing is the fella who is in charge of frying the taufu was pretty rude. Apart from that, all is well.
