Liao Jia Beef Noodle Restaurant

LOVE their beef noodles! The soup was delicious and beef was just tender enough n flavourful! If you enjoy the small portion of side dishes, u should try it. I queued for around 20mins, and the beef noodle was sold before 1:30pm. So if u wanna get a taste of it, don’t be too late for it

We reach just 10mins past their opening hours. By then, the first batch of diners had already gone in, so we had to queue 30mins. For tourist, here is their SOP: 1 queue outside to dine in or approach staff directly for takeout. 2 staff will approach you to write down how many bowls of beef noodles. Don’t tell them your side dishes order here. 3 wait patiently to be ushered in 4 queue at side dish counter to order your side dishes while waiting for your beef noodles. It takes around 5-10mins for your noodles to reach. Please note that this is 清炖牛肉, not 红烧牛肉 that is traditionally braised in chili bean paste to give a unique red colour to broth. This soup is on the mild side, for people who enjoys simple hearty soup. If you want more oomph, add in their chili sauce (it is spicy!) I personally like this type of beef noodles (akin to clear broth in pho) but my partner doesn’t. Side dishes: we enjoyed the beef tripe and tendon. Both are very tender which reflected hours of braising it. We didn’t add any sauce on it except for chili sauce at the side. Locals prefer to add soy bean paste over their bean curd which we find it a little too salty for our liking. The pickled cabbage is ok. It is a pretty decent bowl of beef noodles. I wouldn’t travel down specially for it. Personally, I would have liked it better if there is more Chinese herbs being used to add another dimension to the broth.

This is the best “street food type” of noodle soup I tasted in Taipei! The place is packed with people - so go earlier. Reasonable price! Prepare to serve yourself.

This shop ties itself to Taiwan during the colonial era closely. I didn’t go there just because it received a Michelin star, but because I wanted to experience the taste of history and Taiwanese local food. I found that their soup (without beef) is a must-try. The staff are skillful in cutting Dougan. It's expensive, but it's one of the beef noodle shops that serves delicious beef soup in Taipei. Anyway, the shop is so small, hard to move inside. Always sold out so fast. Open not many hrs.

This is my new favorite beef noodle restaurant in Taipei. The fact that their broth is light in color but intense in flavor means that they the flavor is not added by just putting soy sauce.

we Q and waited for about 40mins and got to sit down and slurp the delicious beef noodle! must try!!! soup is yummms!! it closes at 2pm but slightly before 2pm, the beef was already sold out! try to come earlier to not risk missing out!

This is a famous eatery that has a queue all the time. One reason is that it operates from 11am to 2pm only and will close doors if food is sold out for the day. The flavor is just ok, when the price is taken into consideration. It’s of the lighter type and easy to eat. The meat choice is interesting, not the usual flanks or ribs. I wasn’t sure which part of a cow it came from. Texture is ok though. Service is actually quite good, considering this is a mom-and-pop shop that has no corporate guidelines.

A very heart warming bowl of beef noodle soup with spinach on top. Simple and good
