About this place
The dark broth of Taipei Gyoza’s black tantan noodles may look intense, but one diner reported that the spice was milder than expected and easy to enjoy. At lunch, the noodles come in a set with mixed fried rice; the spicy tantan noodles are available in white or black, and the set also includes almond tofu. It’s a convenient choice when you want both noodles and fried rice.
For a noodle soup, one diner who ordered shrimp noodles with mixed fried rice enjoyed noodles topped with shrimp and vegetables in a salt-seasoned broth, alongside a small portion of light, fluffy fried rice. The lunch menu also includes mixed Cantonese noodles in soup and mixed fried noodles, offering both soupy and dry noodle options. Some lunch dishes come with almond tofu, too. Pork and aubergine stir-fried in soy sauce is listed at 850 yen with rice, soup and pickles.
If you’d like to add gyoza, one reported order paired the fragrance of shiso with meat in a memorable filling. A diner also noted that gyoza could be ordered separately when they weren’t included in a lunch set—an option for adding something extra to noodles or fried rice. At lunch, you can keep things simple with a set; in the evening, choose individual dishes to go with Taiwanese beer or another drink. The restaurant accepts cash only, so come prepared.
