Xiao Liang Ban Cold Noodles
小良絆涼麵專門店 · show this name to taxi drivers
A tiny cold-noodle shop on Chifeng Street serving Taiwanese-style cold noodles with sesame or chili-oil dressings, plus a few warm tossed noodles. It has fewer than ten seats at a narrow counter and outside, so it is best for a quick bowl on your own.
