廖家牛肉麵

廖家牛肉麵 sits on Jinhua Street in Da'an, its broth savory with sweet beef-bone notes, the beef stewed tender, the beef soup noodles a solid portion; the sides area lets you platter beef tendon, tripe, and intestine, with pickles, peanuts, and kelp self-serve cold plates. One diner said “the broth is well-balanced, the noodles just firm enough,” while another felt “the beef tastes a bit like a retort pouch” — opinions vary.

Tell the shop after taking self-serve sides; prices vary by item, and a bowl of beef noodles runs around NT$250.

Closed Mondays; otherwise open only 10:00 to 14:00 — a short four hours, so go early.
