🎉 Taoyuan Beef Noodle Drinks and Ice Cream All You Can Eat 🎉

🎉 Six rich soup bases to choose from 🎉

Jiyinghui is a well-known beef noodle restaurant in Taoyuan, with branches in Zhongli as well. Each beef noodle place in Taoyuan has its own supporters, but this one remarkably offers an all-you-can-use self-service bar for drinks and ice cream. 😙 The beef noodle soup comes in six flavors: Imperial Spicy, Plum Brew Tomato, Old Tan Sauerkraut, Health-Essence Herbal, Signature Sichuan, and Original Braised. 😙 There are also many diverse options for side dishes. 👏

The interior is decorated in a simple Japanese style, clean and bright, with spacious seating. 👍 The main focus of the restaurant is beef noodles, but for those who don’t eat beef, there are also Mahjong Noodles and Fried Sauce Noodles to choose from. ☺️

Sesame Sauce Noodles:

There is a lot of sauce, leaning towards a Japanese style. Personally, I find it a bit sweet, reminiscent of eating hot cold noodles. I think it would be better if it were slightly saltier. ☺️

Braised Beef Noodle Soup:

It looks very delicious when it arrives at the table, matching the tagline from the advertisement about chewy noodles, rich soup, and big chunks of meat. 😆 However, the overall flavor is a bit strong, so those who prefer lighter flavors can inform the staff not to make it so intense. Those who enjoy bold flavors will likely appreciate it more. 🤩 I chose thin noodles, which soak up the broth better. 😏 The beef shank is stewed just right. 😍 Highly recommended! 👏

Braised Dishes:

Today I ordered pig intestine, soy skin, and pig ears. The braised dishes are usually enhanced with a little white vinegar for flavor; if you don’t like it, you can tell the staff. The braised dishes have a unique smoky flavor as they are charred, but that day, the intestines were a bit overdone, resulting in a slight bitterness. 🥲 It’s a bit unfortunate; perhaps the kitchen should be more careful not to overchar. 😁 The rice noodles performed quite well, with a hint of spicy fragrance. 😋 Soft and flavorful enough. 🫡

To summarize:

The beef noodles are quite high-quality and flavorful, but parking can be inconvenient; you may have to park on Nanping Road. 😙 Prices under 200 TWD feel reasonable, and meat lovers can customize for an extra fee. 😁

Located in the Xinyi District, the beef noodle and chicken soup restaurant is open until midnight, making it a great choice for a late-night snack. This time, I ordered the braised beef soup, spicy dry mixed noodles, and a few varieties of braised snacks.

The braised beef soup has a rich broth, and the beef is tender and flavorful. The spicy dry mixed noodles have a chewy texture, moderate spiciness, and are very aromatic. There is a wide selection of braised snacks that are flavorful and have a good texture.

The restaurant offers various types of chili, including beef chili oil and spicy red oil, and it is recommended to add them according to personal taste. Due to its popularity, there may be a slight wait, but the turnover rate is fast, so the waiting time is not long.

The beef noodles that I've been eating since I was a child offer three types of noodles to choose from: regular noodles, thick noodles, and thin noodles. Regular noodles are the thickest, and there are samples available to reference on-site. There are four pieces of beef in total, and the broth has just the right flavor—not too bland or too salty. I enjoy their side dishes, and there are several combinations to choose from. Whether dining in or taking out, you need to line up first.

I have heard about this beef noodle battleground for a long time. Today, I finally have the chance to try it out!

This time I ordered:
⭐️ Beef Noodle (Small) 💰110
I was surprised when it arrived; the portion was unexpectedly large. The beef chunks were whole pieces, and the noodles were like ramen. The broth was not overly salty. There was also spicy beef oil and pickled vegetables on the side that I could add. Although it's called spicy beef oil, it wasn't too spicy when I tried it. Once added, it made the broth even richer. The noodles were chewy, making me want to have one bite after another.

⭐️ Various Side Dishes 💰30 per box
I ordered Taiwanese pickled vegetables, pig ears, and phoenix claws. The pickled vegetables were sweet and sour. The pig ears had a strong five-spice flavor. The phoenix claws were slightly spicy. All of them were delicious side dishes!

In summary, it's a beef noodle restaurant with a very high value for money. I will definitely visit again!

A local beef noodle, potstickers, and dumplings specialty store that has been around for a long time. I remember my family bought it when I was young, and I thought it was okay, but it felt a bit expensive back then. We seemed to prefer chain restaurants. Recently, I heard from a friend that this place is great, and since I really had no impression of it, I decided to take out the following dishes this time.

▪️Cabbage pan-fried dumplings $75
▪️Chive pan-fried dumplings $75
A few days ago, I happened to buy dumplings and thought they were pretty good. My friend said the pan-fried dumplings are even better, so this time I chose the pan-fried dumplings and swapped the two flavors. But for some reason, they tasted very similar; I suspect the restaurant might have mixed them up 😂. Just like the dumplings, the wrapper doesn't have that MSG taste, and interestingly, there are no folds in the skin—the whole skin is filled with meat, making it very plump. The pan-fried dumplings are indeed more aromatic than the dumplings!

▪️Wonton soup $50
It has a relatively light taste, and the wonton meat is quite tasty without excessive seasoning—it's simple.

Overall, I really liked it after trying it again as an adult!! This store has many other items I'm interested in trying as well. They've always had good business, so I recommend calling ahead to place an order before picking it up.

Braised Beef Noodle Soup $165, I chose thin noodles. The broth is rich and delicious, and the beef is very tender. The thin noodles paired with the braised broth are a great match.

Wonton Beef Noodle Soup $80, I chose ramen, and I think it's tastier than the thin noodles. Overall, it's quite good; the wontons are also great and large.

Steamed Vegetables $40 are sweet potato leaves.

There are side dishes and braised items.
The side dish plate is all $40, and for the braised items, I chose a braised egg for $15 and two pieces of sweet and spicy fish cake for $15; I also think the braised items are quite good.

The restaurant provides pickled vegetables for self-service.

Overall, I found the meals to be quite good, the prices reasonable, and the restaurant environment is okay.

Little Wu Beef Noodle Shop is located on Luoyang Street in Wanhua District, right next to the soon-to-be-demolished Xining Public Housing. It’s about a 10-minute walk from both Taipei Station and the core area of Ximending.

This 24-hour old-school beef noodle shop is a salvation for many foodies late at night, although many of the beef noodle shops emerging from Zhengzhou Street are also open 24 hours.

Today, I enjoyed the mixed noodles, priced at 130 TWD.

Mixed Noodles:
In a large bowl, you get to enjoy beef, tripe, and beef tendon all at once. The rich collagen and chewy texture intertwine, creating a rich and substantial mouthfeel.
The beef is stewed to perfection, with a slight chewiness, the tripe is springy and crispy, while the tendon is tender and melts in your mouth yet still offers good texture.
The broth is a rich, savory red-braised base, with a hint of traditional herbal fragrance.

Some might find it a bit bland, but just add a spoonful of the beef oil on the table, and you’ll instantly enjoy the aroma released as the hot soup melts the beef oil—delicious in every aspect.

The noodles are a medium thickness, wide pull noodles with a substantial yet quite springy texture. I really enjoy this style of noodle.

In addition to the beef and broth, there’s also pickled vegetables available at the table for everyone to take. The finely chopped pickled vegetables have the perfect level of acidity, enhancing the beef’s freshness.
Besides the orange beef oil, there’s also a darker spicy beef oil.
Just adding a spoonful elevates the aroma instantly, adding richness to the broth and enhancing flavor complexity.
If you accidentally add too much and the soup cools down, preventing the beef oil from melting, you can ask the staff for some beef broth to enjoy the flavors again.

Overall, this is a hearty portion, reasonably priced, and operating 24 hours—a classic beef noodle shop.
Little Wu Beef Noodle Shop is not just a favorite among locals; many tourists also make a special trip to Taipei to visit.
The seating inside is relatively spacious; while the environment belongs to an old public housing unit on the first floor and can't be described as super clean, it is kept tidy.

I highly recommend it to everyone!

Location: Tin Hau, Hong Kong

The location is very convenient; it takes about five minutes to walk from Tin Hau Station. However, it is a bit far from other attractions. Nearby, there is only Victoria Park. You have to walk a bit to reach Causeway Bay. Because there were so many recommendations online, and it had been recommended by Michelin for many years, it was definitely on my must-visit list. The wait time was about 30 minutes. The day we went was Friday afternoon, and it was still quite crowded. So if you really want to go, you should set aside time to queue.

🌟 Clear Soup with Beef Tripe and Noodles
Almost everyone at the restaurant had a bowl of this on their table that day. We originally ordered three bowls, but we ended up skipping the last bowl since there was no more beef tendon left; only two bowls had the beef tripe. Eating it made us happy🎉. The beef broth was fresh, sweet, and refreshing. It wasn’t too heavy, pairing nicely with the three types of beef: brisket, tendon, and tripe. All were handled well, without any fishy taste, and they were flavored perfectly without being too salty.

🌟 Beef Tripe Dandan Noodles
Later, I changed it to just two types of beef. This was my order because everyone else was eating the same thing, and I wanted to try something different. The broth had a blend of sesame sauce and peanut sauce. When it arrived at the table, the aroma was overwhelming. It smelled amazing, and combined with the noodles, it felt like eating Taiwanese sesame noodles. However, it became a bit heavy towards the end, and I couldn’t finish it😣.

🌟 Side Dishes - Turnip, Curry Fish Balls
The turnip is a must-order! It was very flavorful; it broke easily when cut with chopsticks. So delicious! 😋 As for the curry fish balls, I personally don't love fish balls that much, but the curry sauce was very rich. It was also great paired with their clear soup. I recommend mixing it in if you find the clear soup a bit monotonous and want to change flavors (since I saw online recommendations for this pairing).

Meal Time: 2025/01/30

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I originally planned to eat the beef noodles at Gangyuan on Dacheng Street.
But they were closed for the holiday QQ.
In the end, we went to eat at "Mingbang Gangyuan Beef Noodles" on Wufu Road.
This place is run by a younger brother of the original Gangyuan Beef Noodles,
so the dishes are quite similar.
However, in terms of the dining environment, this place is more comfortable (lol).

This time we ordered:
⭐️ Dry Beef Noodle with Spicy Sauce 💰150 (original price 140, extra 10 for holiday menu)
⭐️ Beef Soup Noodle 💰150
⭐️ Chilled Cucumber Salad 💰40

When the noodles arrived, each bowl had 5 pieces of beef.
The dry noodles came with a bowl of clear soup.
The beef was very tender.
The noodles were traditional flat, wide noodles.
After adding some garlic paste, white vinegar, and chili from the table,
it became even better than before!

The soup noodles were for my friend, and I took a sip of the broth.
The broth was somewhere between clear and braised.
It felt like it was missing something for beef soup noodles.

In conclusion, the dry noodles were tastier than the soup noodles.
Next time, I will still choose the dry noodles!

The signature braised beef noodle soup has a good broth!

There are about 4-5 pieces of beef, and the thickness is quite satisfying (as shown in the attached photo).

In terms of texture, I personally found the meat to be tender and not tough, and it is easy to chew, which I think is great.

The seasoning sauce area, along with scallions and garlic, is available for free use, and the variety is quite rich. I recommend adding scallions to the soup; the broth itself is also quite good and doesn't leave you feeling dry after drinking!

Interestingly, they also have a drink area with free soy milk and black tea. The soy milk is slightly sweet; for those who don’t like sweetness, it can be consumed sparingly.

My friend ordered the century egg tofu, which I think is fairly standard in taste, and considering the price, it's quite a good deal.

Additionally, my friend ordered the red oil dumplings, and after one bite, I found them to be quite impressive.

I feel that for their prices, it is mid-range, but the food quality and portion sizes are quite generous, and the location is very close to the MRT station.

If you're in the Bandung area and want to eat beef noodles, I personally recommend coming here to give it a try!
