Liu Shandong Beef Noodles in Taipei is a popular restaurant among both locals and tourists, renowned for its tender meat and light broth. Many rave about the tenderness and flavor of the beef, while others praise the delicious and subtle taste of the soup. To enhance the flavor of your beef noodles, you can add various seasonings such as garlic, vinegar, rayu, and somchai.

 

Here are some of the standout menu items:
– Cheongdon Beef Noodles (清燉牛肉麵): The classic dish, featuring a combination of clear broth and tender beef.
– Beef Noodles with Additional Boiled Pork (滷肉牛肉麵): This variation includes boiled pork, which is soft, moist, and savory, added to the Cheongdon beef noodles.
– Pork Galbitangmyeon (排骨麵): A hearty dish with noodles and vegetables in a rich broth made from pork ribs, offering a deep and excellent flavor.

 

You can choose between two types of noodle thickness: thick noodles (寬麵) and thin noodles (細麵). Thick noodles pair well with the soup and meat, offering a chewy texture. Thin noodles absorb the soup better, making them ideal for those who prefer a softer texture. However, many find that thick noodles don’t blend well with the soup and lack elasticity, so we recommend opting for the thinner noodles.
