Was just passing by and saw a long line outside, so I figured, “This must be good!” and decided to check it out. The place is pretty small, very local-style. Staff were super nice and welcoming — definitely a big plus. Food was tasty, came out quick, and overall was solid. But maybe because I had high expectations from the crowd, it didn’t really wow me. Some dishes were good, but nothing that made me go “I need to come back ASAP.” If you're nearby and curious, it's worth a try. Just don't expect something mind-blowing based on the line alone.

A must-visit for traditional Taiwanese wheat noodles lovers! The noodles have a great chewy texture, and the broth is light yet packed with deep umami flavors. The fried pork belly is solid and tasty definitely their best dish. White chicken meat is tender and taste good. Their braised dishes (滷味) are also fantastic—especially the braised tofu and pork intestines, which pair perfectly with the noodles. The shop has an old-school, nostalgic feel, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. It can get quite busy during meal hours, but service is quick and efficient. If you’re in Taipei and craving a simple yet incredibly satisfying bowl of noodles, 買麵炎仔 is a must-try!

This place was thankfully not crowded on a thursday morning when I came The noodles and meat were fantastic, definitely worthy of the michelin bib gourmand title Noodles were done with the best chewiness not over or undercooked, just right. Was a bit apprehensive about the sauce on the noodles at first, but mixed in it was just the perfect amount with tangy spicy and flavour to match with the meat, which itself was full of flavour - wasnt sure which was supposed to complement which both seemed good to eat on their own! Staff was also very nice noticed I was a tourist and helped me find a seat Definitely a must try in Taipei

The crispy pork is very very recommended! Love the taste, and the tenderness of the meat! Just perfecto! The shark meat tasted surprisingly good too and goes very well with the sauce. Other dishes were ok, but the mentioned 2 would be the reason I will come back to this shop!

I really enjoyed my meal here. Came on a Thursday morning and the shop was already full. The crispy pork was crunchy and smelled so good when bitten, and the noodles were bouncy. Just the kind of local Taiwanese flavors. Only gripe would be the seemingly dirty interior, but that sort of contributes to the overall vibe of the dining experience.

The noodle is really cheap at Taipei. The food is really tasty. The soup is also yummy. The braised pork is good as YouTuber’s description. I also recommend to order that. There are really a lot of people inline. I think that best time to dine in is 9:00~10:00. If you want to take out that also need inline to order.

I love wonton noodle here! Everything is delicious; noodle,wonton,soup. Boiled chicken platter is fresh and yummy 😋 it's crowded since early morning, sometimes you need to share the table. Many stuff will run out if you come later 11am. Every day has a long line up. Either take away or sit-in has the same line.
