Signature Dishes

  • Beef noodles

    The noodles can be springy or ordinary; the beef ranges from tender to firm and somewhat dry, while the broth can be savory and aromatic with a slight oily note.

  • Oxtail

    Noticeably gelatinous and soft with a springy bite; a good first choice.

  • Dried tofu

    Thinly sliced and well-seasoned, with a more noticeable sweetness and sesame-oil flavor; its porous texture suits chili oil.

  • Beef tripe

    Cleanly prepared, with a substantial, crisp bite.

  • Beef steak cut

    There is a recorded one-time price of NT$600; the meat is tender with a half-tendon, half-meat texture, and the portion can be shared by three.
