牛麵

I heard that the beef noodle restaurant often has long lines. I had previously eaten takeout from there, but this was my first time dining in. I was prepared to give up when I saw the long queue, but luckily, I was able to be seated without waiting.

The dining method involved ordering through a QR code. After placing my order, I had to pay in cash at a machine next to the counter. However, since I didn't have enough cash, I asked the staff at the counter, and they said I could make a bank transfer (thankfully), which saved me the trouble of going out to find an ATM. After completing the payment, I received a sensor, and when it vibrated, I had to go to the pickup area to collect my beef noodles. The utensils, sauces, water, and drinks (which cost extra) were all self-service. They also have a delivery robot cat that helps bring side dishes to the table, but we didn't order any.

I ordered the spicy milk broth with beef short ribs, while my friend ordered the original braised broth with beef shank heart, both with wide noodles. Both broths were quite flavorful, though somewhat salty. I found the original braised broth more palatable, while the spicy milk broth became a bit heavy towards the end, with the salty and spicy flavors being more pronounced and the milky flavor less obvious. In terms of meat, the beef shank heart had a firmer texture but was not tough, while the beef short ribs were fattier and more tender. Personally, I prefer the tender texture, so I liked the beef short ribs more. I found the portion sizes quite sufficient, and I felt very full after finishing my meal. After dining, guests need to return their utensils to the designated recycling area.

The restaurant has a spacious layout, with many Marvel and Crayon Shin-chan figurine collections. Overall, the cleanliness is good, and the staff I interacted with were quite friendly. If you're able to avoid a long wait, it's worth a try.
