This restaurant specializing in buckwheat noodles offers chewy noodles and a variety of fried options, with the fried chicken and fried tofu highly recommended. The sauce for the cold sesame noodles has a rich and memorable flavor profile.
The number of seats in the store is limited, with comfortable spacing that creates a relaxed dining atmosphere, suitable for small gatherings or leisure time.
The dining experience uses a manual ordering system, with a menu that is simple and clear. Customers can go directly to the counter to place their orders and make payments, making the service process straightforward.
I suddenly wanted to eat soba noodles that day, but there weren’t many choices in Tainan, so I headed to Youmai Dian.
We went there at noon on a weekday and the store was half full. There are not many seats, about 8 groups of 4 people, and the space between the seats is comfortable. Manual ordering is adopted. After deciding on the meal, go to the counter to order and check out.
Because we really wanted to eat soba noodles, we ordered cold noodles and sesame cold noodles set (fried tofu, side dishes, buckwheat black tea) this time. Both types of noodle are thin noodles.
The cold noodles use the usual bonito soy sauce with wasabi and green onions. There are no other condiments. The set meal is a bit monotonous unless ordered separately. The soba noodles are chewy and delicious when dipped in the sauce.
The sesame cold noodles use sesame paste and simple condiments: egg skin, cucumber shreds and kelp. The sesame paste has a slightly sour taste and is very appetizing. Compared with cold noodles, although the noodles are equally delicious, due to the differences in condiments and sauces, in terms of taste, I personally still think the sesame noodles are slightly better.
The set drink is buckwheat black tea, which has a fixed sweetness, but is slightly sweet, and the buckwheat flavor is not obvious. It can be used as a dessert after the meal.
Recommended to friends who also like soba noodles.
I didn’t expect that there is a store specializing in soba noodles in Tainan, and they are produced in local factories. I really like their soba noodle, which is very chewy and the highlight is that they provide thick noodles! ! !
In addition to the delicious noodles, you must try the fried food, which is not greasy at all. I particularly like the Tang Yang chicken (I didn’t order it today because I have a small appetite) and tofu. Tangyang chicken is wrapped in buckwheat and deep-fried to add texture, while the tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Eat it with refreshing tsukemen noodles to balance each other out. Highly recommended!
