Signature Dishes
Cold noodles
The noodles are thin, with descriptions ranging from soft without being mushy to springy and somewhat ordinary; the sauce combines sesame, garlic, and a slight tang, with chili oil available at the table for adjustment.
Three-in-one soup
The miso broth leans light; the meatballs are springy, the egg silky, and the toppings plentiful.
Blanched squid
The squid is well-prepared and has no off odor, served with garlic; the sauce is not overly salty.
Oil tofu
The skin is firm while the inside is tender, with the porous tofu absorbing the sauce; one record lists it at NT$15.
