Established in 1951, Liu Shandong Beef Noodles is known for its signature dish—braised beef noodles. Setting itself apart from the traditional beef noodles with pickled cabbage, it goes a step further by adding the owner’s homemade fermented and salted black soybeans. “Three bites of soybeans, three bites of beef and a sip of beef broth”—this unique eating style is exclusive to the restaurant. The broth is meticulously prepared by simmering an abundance of beef bones with a harmonious blend of Chinese herbs, resulting in a delectable and robust flavor profile. Paired with tender beef and chewy noodles, this culinary masterpiece has become a must-try sensation among locals and a magnet for international tourists. Located just a 5-minute walk from the exit of Taipei Main Station underground mall.
