WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Shrimp-broth vermicelli paired with freshly fried seafood

Squid, clams, white shrimp, and oysters gather in one bowl of shrimp-broth vermicelli, while the seafood pancake brings thin, crisp golden edges. Soup and griddled batter each express seafood sweetness in a different way.

02
Perilla-plum cucumber adds a crisp break

Thick cucumber slices retain crunch and moisture, followed by fruity plum acidity and a faint perilla note. Eaten between hot soup and pancake, their refreshing sweet-sour flavor balances the oiliness.

03
Homestyle rice and soup in a bright setting

Beyond vermicelli soup, the menu includes braised pork rice and homestyle sides. Bright furniture and an illustrated wall keep both solo staple meals and shared soups and dishes relaxed.

THE STORY

The story behind this place

A seafood vermicelli idea became a pun-based name

The owner wanted to sell seafood rice vermicelli, still uncommon in Taipei, and chose the direct Chinese name 湯米粉 before turning its sound into the English TOM FANS. The memorable pun also reflects the shop's use of fine vermicelli to carry seafood broth, giving a familiar snack another flavor direction.

Rice Vermicelli in Seafood Shrimp Broth MetroBites visit photo

Rice Vermicelli in Seafood Shrimp Broth

Fine vermicelli sits in shrimp broth with squid, clams, white shrimp, oysters, a soft-cooked egg, scallions, and chili threads. The seafood is cooked to order: shrimp stays springy, squid tender, and shellfish sweetens the broth. The noodles absorb the soup, shrimp aroma arrives first, and stirring in the egg softens the broth's texture.

Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup MetroBites visit photo

Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup

A clear broth holds bone-in pork shank, potato, garlic, assorted vegetables, goji berries, and red dates. The pork keeps its fibers and meaty aroma; softened vegetables release sweetness, while potato adds substance. The broth is gentle and warming, with a contrast between bone-in meat and tender vegetables.

Seafood Pancake MetroBites visit photo

Seafood Pancake

Made to order from batter with squid, shrimp, and scallions, the pancake develops a thin, crisp golden rim while staying soft and springy at the center. Wheat, scallion, and seafood aromas overlap. Taste it plain from the crisp edge inward, then dip lightly in the savory, vinegary sauce to sharpen the seafood flavor.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Fine vermicelli captures the savor of seafood broth

Fine rice vermicelli meets freshly cooked seafood broth here, offering another take on Taipei's familiar vermicelli soup. Slender noodles absorb shrimp aroma and the sweetness of shellfish, while a freshly fried seafood pancake carries the same sweetness from broth to crisp batter.

First visit: how to order

01
Help yourself to utensils

After sitting down, pick up utensils from the self-service area and note the pickup and tray-return points; this also makes sharing soup easier.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Dip the bone-in pork in a little chili soy sauce

With the Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup, taste the plain broth first for the vegetables' sweetness, then dip the pork shank in a little house chili soy sauce. Its salty heat brings out the meat's sweetness.

🤖 AI Introduction

湯米粉 TOM FANS sits on Chongxin Road in Sanchong, bringing vermicelli soup, braised pork rice, and homestyle sides into a bright, streamlined space. Its soups offer far more than noodles and broth: expect white shrimp, squid, clams, and oysters, or bone-in pork shank with assorted vegetables. To grasp the concept in one meal, make Rice Vermicelli in Seafood Shrimp Broth the centerpiece, then add a freshly fried Seafood Pancake and Perilla-Plum Cucumber for sweetness, toasted aroma, and crisp acidity.

Interior and dining atmosphere:The shop uses clean, bright colors and neatly arranged tables and chairs, while cute wall illustrations add ease to a traditional-snack setting. The cooking retains the familiar character of vermicelli soup and homestyle dishes, but the presentation and decor feel lighter. Utensils are self-service, so note the food pickup and tray-return flow after sitting down. Whether you are alone with a bowl of vermicelli or sharing soups and sides with others, the space does not feel cramped.
Shop story and dining notes:The address is 新北市三重區重新路二段95號, within walking distance of Taipei Bridge (台北橋站 · Taipei Bridge) and near the Sanchong Night Market area. Fine vermicelli is paired with different broths and toppings, expanding traditional vermicelli soup into seafood, vegetable-rich, and homestyle stewed options. For a first visit, choose a staple first, then add a pancake or refreshing side according to group size. The seafood vermicelli is cooked to order, so check the broth temperature before sipping.
Rice Vermicelli in Seafood Shrimp Broth

Fine vermicelli carries shrimp broth with squid, clams, white shrimp, and oysters, finished with a soft-cooked egg, scallions, and chili threads. Seafood is cooked just before serving: shrimp stays springy, squid tender, and clams and oysters release savor into the soup. The fine noodles readily absorb broth, delivering clear shrimp aroma first and shellfish sweetness next. Stirring in the soft egg makes the soup feel gentler.湯米粉 TOM FANS (TOM FANS) visit photo




Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup

Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup places bone-in pork shank, potato, garlic, and assorted vegetables in clear broth, with visible goji berries and red dates. The pork retains its fibers and meaty aroma; softened vegetables release natural sweetness, and potato adds heft. Taste the plain broth first for its gentle vegetable fragrance, then dip the meat lightly in the house chili soy sauce—the salty heat makes the pork's sweetness more distinct.

Seafood Pancake

The Seafood Pancake is made to order from batter, squid, shrimp, and scallions. Its outer rim turns thin, golden, and crisp while the middle stays soft and springy, combining wheat, scallion, and seafood sweetness in one bite. A savory sauce with a vinegary edge brightens the flavor with only a light dip. Try it plain first, then work inward from the crisp rim to appreciate the change in texture.

海鮮煎餅

Perilla-Plum Cucumber

Perilla-Plum Cucumber comes in thick, easy-to-eat slices that retain their moisture and crunch, dressed with gently sweet-sour perilla plum. Fresh cucumber aroma and crispness arrive first, followed by fruity plum acidity and a faint perilla note. Light rather than heavy, it resets the palate between the two hot soups or the pancake and balances the pancake's fried aroma, making the next sip of vermicelli broth taste vivid again.

💡 Ordering Tip

For two diners, begin with one Rice Vermicelli in Seafood Shrimp Broth and one Seafood Pancake, then add soup or a side according to appetite. Choose Pork Shank and Vegetable Soup for a warming, substantial meal, or Perilla-Plum Cucumber for a fresher contrast. Both soups arrive hot, so take a small sip to check the temperature before working through the toppings.
