Reviews
The Noodle Chef's Yanji branch is located in the alleys of Yanji Street in the Daan District of Taipei City. The nearest MRT station is Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, Exit 2, which is about a 5-minute walk away. The shop is not very large, with around 20 seats. During lunchtime, you need to share tables with other customers.
After entering the shop, you choose a seat, scan the QR code to place your order, select your flavor and noodle type, and decide whether you want to upgrade your portion or add toppings in advance. Then, you scan the barcode at the payment machine to check out. Only cash is accepted, and receipts are available.
Today, six people came to dine, and we were fortunate to get an entire area to ourselves. After ordering, we could help ourselves to the tofu pudding; just being able to enjoy unlimited tofu pudding was quite delightful. The portion of noodles was acceptable, and I personally thought the flavors were average, giving off a somewhat chain restaurant vibe (?). It wasn't very refined, but the prices, along with the tofu pudding, were still reasonable.
A small shop located in Lane 70 of Yanji Street.
Today I had braised Sichuan sesame tendon beef noodles, priced at 190.
The store uses a QR code to order food online. After ordering, use the generated QR to pay at the checkout machine. This makes people wonder, what will the store do if an elderly person who cannot use mobile phones wants to dine?
There are three types of noodles, knife noodles, Chinese thin noodles, and Japanese ramen. I chose Japanese ramen to taste.
The tendon is quite chewy but not too chewy, and the rich soup coupled with Sichuan-style seasoning makes the whole dish quite harmonious.
The delicate texture of Japanese ramen also goes well with the soup.
There are free lemonade and beancurd in the store for free use.
There are six kinds of tofu that can be mixed and matched freely.
Not only is the bean curd delicious, but the process of making it yourself is also fun.
Overall, except that the business hours are relatively short and closed in the afternoon, it is a delicious restaurant worth recommending.
