好記擔仔麵 — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

The hotel staff at Forward Hotel suggested this restaurant when I asked for a noodle spot which was not beef noodles nor spicy due to the people that I was travelling with. We went there and it was a little trying at first because with limited Mandarin/English between myself and the restaurant, patience on both sides was required. Although the restaurant has plastic reproductions of the food ala Japanese restaurants, you can't really know what it is without some measure of questioning the staff since Taiwanese cuisine enjoys entrails and we do not. The staff did their best to help us - service was not surly - just not totally friendly but typical for any busy Chinese restaurants.

The restaurant next store will be for group of people to eat. Like group of 10, 20. I would love to...

This is the one restaurant I want every visitor to experience. Great variety of authentic Taiwanese cuisine at very reasonable price. The signature Taiwanese style Dan Dan Noodle is an absolute must order. No wonder they normally sell over 2,000 of these babies per day for about $1!!!
