好小子擔仔麵

好小子擔仔麵 sits on Dadun Road in Taichung's Xitun District, its signatures dan-zai noodles, lu-rou-fan (braised pork rice), and chicken rice, plus sides like sesame-topped braised pork and sweet-potato greens. One diner observed and shared “a very busy shop — seats are scarce and lines long at mealtimes, so I only dared try off-peak; the sweet-potato greens are fresh and good, the fried shallots fragrant, savory-sweet and just right, a hefty portion, and the braised pork crushes a certain Michelin-recommended restaurant — really tasty,” another “food comes fast, and it's tasty.”

Some reviews are more reserved — one diner noted “on a Super Taste recommendation I traveled down to Taichung and took it back to the hotel, and honestly it was another Taichung-food letdown — not a dud, but really just ordinary, thankfully the portions were all small,” so it varies by person — don't go in with too-high expectations.

Closed Tuesdays; otherwise open daily 11:00am to 11:30pm, a long window that covers late-night snacking too.
