【Taipei Zhongzheng】Yile Noodle House

An affordable Italian pasta place perfect for students.
Tableware and water are self-service, and there is no service charge (cash payments only).
The pasta itself is quite substantial, but ordering some small snacks will add to the fullness.
The serving speed is very fast; it seems the sauces are pre-made.
If you’re looking for a nice place to dine or chat in Taipei City, for about NT$500 for two people, this place is okay.
However, I did notice a short hair in my noodles, and since I was already more than halfway through my meal, I was afraid of being thought as doing it on purpose, so I didn’t specifically mention it to the restaurant.

✨ Personal recommendation
◽ Garlic-flavored pan-fried pork belly pasta ✨ NT$165
＞ It looks like a stir-fry; the pasta sauce is quite abundant. The pork belly slices have no fishy taste, with equal amounts of fat and lean meat, and the fattier pieces are slightly elastic when eaten.

◽ +B Set NT$65
Includes daily soup and a drink (choose one from black tea, green tea, or milk tea, available hot or iced).
＞ The daily soup was a creamy soup, tasting like the ones from budget steak houses but a bit thinner.
＞ You can choose to have your black tea or green tea unsweetened or sweetened.
The milk tea has a fixed sweetness, likely from a powder mix, mildly sweet should be right.
Add pearl tapioca for +NT$10 (a bit hard with no sweetness, optional).

◽ Pesto squid pasta NT$170
＞ The squid has a softer texture, and I personally prefer a slightly richer pesto.

◽ Popular must-try homemade spicy sour chicken wings✨ 4 pieces NT$99, 6 pieces NT$145, 8 pieces NT$189
＞ The chicken wings are marinated and then fried without batter, flavorful enough to eat on their own, served with Thai-style spicy dipping sauce, which you should definitely try.
