Reviews
If you've ever had real imported Luosifen from the mainland, you'd probably be like me, constantly searching for traces of it in Taiwan. I think this place is the closest I've found across the north, central, and south of Taiwan!
It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Formosa Boulevard MRT station. When I was searching online for delicious Luosifen in Kaohsiung, this name always popped up, and it's quite a memorable name 😹 easy to remember after seeing it once. I only realized after arriving that it hasn't been open for long 🫨 with 600 reviews on Google and a 4.8-star rating, which I think is pretty impressive.
The store has a setup I love where you can scan a code to order, and you can choose to pay with cash or Line Pay. It's a place where coming alone is not awkward (everyone's focused on their noodles), with two floors and a fast table turnover, so there's generally no wait.
The overall setting is very clean and straightforward, and the prices are quite affordable.
𓌉𓇋 Fried Egg Luosifen $180
The best accompaniment for Luosifen is undoubtedly a fried egg, which soaks up the broth and is a great bonus ✨ and you can adjust the spice level.
As mentioned from the start, it's quite similar to the imported one from the mainland (with purple packaging), rich and full-flavored. The noodles themselves have a good texture, the toppings are plentiful and genuine, and the spice level can be adjusted to one's taste (for those worried about spiciness, you can ask for light spiciness and add more if needed; you can also add more vinegar if desired).
When eating convenient-type Luosifen, I usually add all the chili oil packets, and that level of spiciness would suggest ordering medium spiciness here — it's refreshing but will make your nose run.
However, the broth gets quite salty towards the end. I dock a point because the store surprisingly doesn't offer drinking water, which I found quite unexpected 🥹; if you want a drink, you'll need to purchase from their selection.
After this bowl, you'll be about 80-90% full, and it's quite a good value for money! If you're missing Luosifen, you can satisfy your craving here 🫶🏻.
