Lao Wang Ji Beef Noodles

Laowangzhi Beef Noodle is a beef noodle shop in Taipei that serves a clear beef broth. The spicy version is barely spicy, and diners add pickled mustard greens and vinegar from the table to cut the oiliness. Staff take orders in English, and the line moves quickly even when it is long, with the busiest time at noon when office workers from nearby fill the shop. The noodles have a floury, undercooked texture and the meat is salted heavily.
