江北食堂風味外省麵 on Guangfu Road in Fengshan, Kaohsiung, has built a following around handmade medium-wide noodles, a clean and gently sweet broth, and self-selected braised sides. Woodwork, plaques, murals, and a mix of round and square tables create an old-inn atmosphere, while the semi-open kitchen lets you watch noodles being cooked to order. The appeal is not flashy novelty but solid fundamentals: springy noodles, smooth sesame sauce, and properly braised meat.
● Beef Noodle Soup
The Beef Noodle Soup uses handmade medium-wide noodles with a springy bite that resist becoming mushy even after sitting in broth for a while. The beef is slowly braised until tender without falling apart, keeping its fibers and meatiness. The broth has body from long simmering but remains clean and gently sweet. Add pickled mustard greens to lift the savory-sweet profile further if you like a broth you can comfortably finish.
● Dry Noodles with Pork
Dry Noodles with Pork come with several relatively lean pork slices over medium-wide noodles. The pork is not greasy and still gives a clear meat aroma as you chew. Sesame sauce is fragrant underneath but does not feel overly thick or sticky; once the noodles, sauce, and scallions are mixed, each bite carries a soft nutty aroma. Add a small amount of house chili later in the bowl for an extra layer of heat.
● Dry Noodles with Preserved Mustard
Dry Noodles with Preserved Mustard combine crunchy preserved greens and tender shredded pork over sesame-coated medium-wide noodles. The generous mustard greens bring light saltiness and crispness, preventing the smooth sesame sauce from feeling monotonous. Once fully mixed, pork, mustard greens, and noodles overlap in each bite. If you like dry noodles but still want a refreshing crunch, this bowl has a clearer texture contrast than plain sesame noodles.
● Wonton Soup
The wontons have thin, silky skins and a fresh, lightly sweet filling with a soft springiness that never turns mushy. The golden pork-bone broth is clean and gently sweet without an overly heavy layer of fat, making it especially good next to dry noodles. After a few bites of sesame or preserved-mustard noodles, a spoonful of hot broth clears the richer aroma and rounds out the meal.
For two people, order one Beef Noodle Soup and one bowl of dry noodles, then add Wonton Soup and braised sides to share. Choose Dry Noodles with Pork for mellow sesame richness, or Dry Noodles with Preserved Mustard for a crisper, saltier bite. There are plenty of condiments, so taste the original flavor first before adding them gradually to suit your preference.

📌 Editor’s summary
Jiangbei Shitang gets the essentials of a bowl of mainland-style noodles right: the noodles bounce, the broth is easy to keep drinking, the sesame sauce is rich without becoming cloying, and the supporting dishes do not overpower the main event. Beef Noodle Soup combines a gently sweet broth with tender chunks of beef; Dry Noodles with Pork keep the sesame profile mellow; Dry Noodles with Preserved Mustard add crisp, salty rhythm; and Wonton Soup closes with thin skins, fresh filling, and clear broth. The wooden inn-like room and self-service braised-food case add a sense of place.
