Kuen Yang’s beef noodle soup’s base is in the style of Sichuan braised soy sauce, which is richer in flavor than clear broth. You can choose between thin or wide noodles, normal or spicy broth and type of beef — shank, shank and tendon, or shank, tendon and tripe. In most restaurants, when you order “half shank and half tendon,” you get pieces of shank and pieces of tendon. But at Kuen Yang, the chosen cuts of meat are singular pieces that include both meat and tendon. The flavors of beef, noodles and soup are excellent, and you can add shredded pickled mustard greens for a tangy contrast to the savory soup base. Kuen Yang is located in Nangang, so it’s a slight trek to get there, but the restaurant is only one minute away from the metro station.
