桃源街牛肉麵

Thank you to all of my followers on Instagram and Facebook. I put out a call for suggestions, and Taoyuan was one that came up again and again.

Another shop claiming a championship win? My hopes drop when something has hype.

But here, at Taoyuan Street Authentic Beef Noodle, the bowl spoke for itself.

It was actually the noodles that stood out for me. While most beef noodle places had noodles on the soft-ish side, these were firm and chewy.

One more thing to mention. I might have actually gone to the wrong shop. When reading reviews on the internet post-trip, many people say that this shop has no sign and a no photo policy. Did I enter the wrong place? Did I somehow give my praise to a place masquerading as another? Regardless, I liked this bowl the most out of any on my Taipei trip.

For those who value my opinion, here is my ranking of beef noodle shops I visited, with only the top three being ones I would actually recommend:
