JoannaDecember 18, 2017Order #1 on the white slip menu - Beef noodle soup 牛肉麵（湯）(niúròu miàn (tāng)). You won’t be disappointed. Thick cut marbled beef w/ delicious soup base & chewy noodles! Grab side dishes yourself.

joahnnaJuly 28, 2015Probably the best beef noodles I've had - very tasty and the beef is tender. Top it with their homemade chili sauce and you're set!
Upvote2Downvote- Don Michael AntonioAugust 10, 2014One of the best Taiwanese beef noodle places in Taipei. Non-spicy with lots of flavor and wonderful spices. A must if you are into noodles and soupy things, oh and beef！
UpvoteDownvote - PeiOctober 8, 2014Get the half tendon half beef noodles (半筋半肉), and chuck in some of their homemade chili paste to add spice and umami flavors to an already delicious herbal broth. Deeeelish!

MJ LeeMay 14, 2015They have done an awesome job on the basics - beef and the soup. I'll make sure visit them every time I visit Taipei.

Martin D. CiaoAugust 26, 2014There is no other place like Lin Dongfang Beef Noodle. Must try their noodle with homemade hot sauce/paste. Simply the best fusion of noodle, meat, and stock. MUST TRY!

Kurt GalleOctober 10, 2015Indeed very good beef noodle place. Don't expect a trendy Resto. It's a type of street food place. The food is excellent. Add some home made chili paste ... Mjamie

LudacusOctober 10, 2013A little pricey but the broth is super tasty and the beef is tender and comes in generous portion. One of the more well known beef noodles in Taipei.

Brian HuangJuly 20, 2016Beef noodle is a nice change of pace from the standard beef noodle. Beef medallions are delicious but noodles undercooked. Would try for the experience but I prefer more traditional niu ro mien

RolyseeRolydo CJanuary 4, 2018Fragrant beef noodle soup. Tender beef and tendons. Long waiting line so we ordered take away and ate at a nearby food court that sold hot oolong tea. Good pairing.

Gregory K.October 5, 2020Famous beef noodle. Owner is more famous and known for his sexual harassment and playboy life style. Noodles were average. Broth is above average. Beef meat was excellent and very tender.

VictoriaDecember 15, 2017The thing I love about Lin Dong Fang is the fried Tofu and of course beef noodles, 清燉牛肉麵. It's also a great place when you wanna eat at late nights.UpvoteDownvote
Wan Soo KimMarch 19, 2016타이베이 best 우육면. Close to nanzing fuxing station. Cheap price & tasty soup and noodle. Work till midnight, buy always crowded queuing up with ppl

Get 半筋半肉 and make sure you add a lot of the savory paste to your soup. Also, you can always ask for more soup!Upvote1Downvote
Joe KimJanuary 3, 2018*NEW LOCATION* Right around the corner on Andong Street. Original storefront is closed.

Connie ChiuNovember 28, 2014Best I ever had. Half beef and half tendon. Usually a line but it moves fast.

David StrasserDecember 23, 2013Some of the most tender beef I've ever had. Get half brisket, half tendon for best combination.

Catsi CatalanOctober 28, 2017The beef is tender complementing the perfectly cooked noodles. The broth however is just average. The soup is not at par with Manila’s Caution Hot. Small bowl of Beef Noodles is priced at NTD120.

Lene MaeOctober 20, 2018You can order a large bowl to share and leave room for the small dishes. 😋UpvoteDownvote
Nicholas P.June 7, 2016Soup and meat are good, not the noodles though. Too thick. Meat and tendon noodles cost 200 for small and 250 for large.

Scott HsiehMarch 21, 2015It WAS the best beef noodle in Taipei. The soup became very thin recent years.UpvoteDownvote
Benedict KhooApril 10, 2016Food quality is ok. Nothing to shout about. The noodle texture is about hard; not sure about others. The portion that they serve is not equivalent to the price that they asked for.UpvoteDownvote
Alison FlammNovember 12, 2016Line moves quickly and there's an air conditioned dining area down the block.UpvoteDownvote
