Liu Shandong Beef Noodles

One of the best beef noodle that I ever tried. We ordered 1 pure braised beef noodle and 1 braised beef noodle. Both are very tasty with affordable price (see the menu at the last pictures), even more tasty compared to beef noodle of the famous chain restaurant. The soup is simply delicious with tender beef, so yummy. I also ordered tofu (after seeing table beside us ordering it) and proven it also delicious. The eatery is very simple and located at the back alley (thanks to google maps I could find it), and lucky us the queue was not long when we arrived, I guess since it was early lunch and after few rain. So I will definitely be back when in town.

I visited Liu Shandong Beef Noodles after hearing about its glowing reviews, but I left feeling quite underwhelmed. Despite its reputation, I found the beef noodle soup to be severely lacking in flavor. The broth tasted more like salty water than anything complex or savory, which was disappointing given the high praise this place receives online. The taste of the soup was one-dimensional and could easily be replicated by any novice cook. In comparison to other beef noodle spots in the area, the quality here simply does not measure up. The broth lacks the depth and richness that makes Taiwanese beef noodles special, and while the noodles themselves were decent, they couldn’t compensate for the overall lack of flavor. There are plenty of better alternatives nearby that offer a more satisfying, authentic beef noodle experience. Unfortunately, based on my visit, I can’t agree with the hype around this place. It may appeal to some, but if you’re looking for a well-rounded and flavorful beef noodle dish, I’d recommend exploring other options in the area.

Honestly SO good. Some of the best noodles I’ve ever had. The beef soup is so flavourful and the beef is so tender. The noodles are very bouncy. Add chili oil. Try it with a bite of garlic too. It slapped. The line was long on a Saturday but moved pretty quick. It’s a vibe inside. They don’t take credit card.

Delicious noodles. We got beef and pork chop. The beef probably was better but both were good. Price was reasonable too at 220 TWD for beef noodles and 180 for pork chop noodles Always seems to be a queue outside but it moves quickly.At 11:30am on a Friday we only had to wait for 5 min.

A very good bowl of beef noodles, but don’t expect to be mind blown. You will be disappointed if you have disproportionate expectations, especially with long wait times during busy periods and the fact that it was awarded the Michelin guide. However, it is still a very good bowl of beef noodles nonetheless, with a rich flavourful broth and noodles with a good bite. Beef was really tender as well. Go for the pure beef option if you like a stronger beef flavour and the marinated option if you prefer a milder beef taste. Addition of the chilli oil does elevate the dish if you are a fan of spice.

An absolute hole in the wall in a back alley serving up some of the best (if not THE best) beef noodle soup I’ve had. The noodles are plumper than the usual round white noodles, and our beyond awesome for texture and springiness. The meat for the pure beef noodle soup literally melts in your mouth - chewing is entirely optional!! Unlimited (communal) pickled veggies and chilli oil to add to your noodles. The servers there are super friendly and very accommodating to non-locals. Ask for an English menu if you need one. An absolute must try if you’re in Taipei

Very affordable meal that is also very tasty. The noodle is chewy. The beef slices are soft and tender. The soup is just nice, taste of beef broil over long hours but not too thick. Add in a heap of lightly salted preserved veg and you just can’t stop slurping it down. Do note that there isn’t a lot of seating capacity, so be prepared to share a table or squeeze a bit if you are dining with a larger group (like 6 pax). Oh and do be prepared to wait to get seated and wait again as they prepare your food after ordering. But you will get a satisfying bowl of beef noodle. 🥩🍜👍🏼

One of the best beef noodles I’ve tried in Taiwan. You need to look out for the signage, as this place can easily be missed since it’s located in a small alleyway. The place gives off a nostalgic vibe. The queue is noticeable, with locals buying takeaways while most of the diners are tourists. Service is fast, and you need to pay right after your order is served at your table. I forgot to take a photo, but the food was so good. The beef noodles were served hot in a stainless steel bowl. From the look of the noodles, you can tell they’re handmade —thick and chewy. The soup was flavorful, though I felt like I only got a few small chunks of beef. And although the taste was fantastic, it was quite pricey, possibly because it once had a Michelin star.
