A beef noodle shop with about 60 years of history, listed in the Michelin Guide, on a lane off Yanji Street. The Michelin Guide says it uses only halal-certified Taiwanese beef. Choose a rich red-braised broth or a clear one; one bowl is a full meal, while the stir-fries and flatbreads are better for groups.
