西門麵店

Recommended by a friend, the shop in Ximen. It seems that pork knuckles and braised pork rice are quite popular! It takes about a 10-minute walk from Ximen Station, but there were plenty of customers, including tourists✨

【Atmosphere of the shop】
The cozy interior has a retro Chinese vibe, which I personally love! It seems that the kitchen is located in another place, as the shop I entered only had tables! During busy times, they encourage sharing tables. It might be a bit cramped and noisy when crowded.

【Food Evaluation】
The pork knuckle rice comes topped with stewed tofu and pickled cucumbers, making it satisfying on its own, but the pork knuckle is also large and filling! However, there are a lot of bones, so be careful while eating! The cost performance is good, but personally, I didn’t feel anything particularly special about the taste of both the pork knuckle and the braised pork rice😅

It's not bad, but I don't think I would personally revisit...
