Menqian Yin Wei Beef Noodle Restaurant
New Taipei CitySanchong DistrictChinese noodle restaurant
A one-time NT$499 set meal has been recorded; the tomato-style beef noodles are distinctly different from traditional red-braised beef noodles.
Signature Dishes
Original Beef Noodles
The tomato broth is thick and gelatinous, ending with a tart aroma; the beef ranges from tender and well-seasoned to slightly dry and chewy.
Spicy Beef Noodles
The rich broth has sweet-tart tomato notes, the wide noodles are chewy, and the spiciness is mild.
Chunyu
Spicy meat-sauce vermicelli sits on top, with white rice hidden underneath; it is savory with a spicy edge and satisfying when mixed together.
Curry Rice
The Japanese-style curry is bold, somewhat salty, and not spicy; a beef curry rice version is also available.
Sweetheart Mochi
Mochi wrapped in tofu skin makes for a distinctive pairing that may come across as anything from "pretty good" to "puzzling."
