Worth a dedicated trip

“Three generations, the move from Liangzhou Street to Anxi Street, and the 2019 Bib Gourmand have strong sources; noodles, sliced sides, and breakfast-lunch service clearly reflect Taiwanese snack culture.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

From Liangzhou Street to a third generation

Mai Mien Yen Tsai began with Yeh Hai-chuan's grandfather on Liangzhou Street. Road widening in the 1970s moved it into the family home on Anxi Street and later upstairs. Yeh left accounting to continue the inherited recipes through a third generation.

Dish photo not available yet Start with the dish description for now

Noodle Soup

Clear chicken-bone and pork broth holds oil noodles, bean sprouts, and chives, a plain but durable starting point for this traditional stall.

Squid MetroBites visit photo

Squid

Simply blanched and cut, it keeps springy crunch and sea flavor with a little sauce, showing the daily handling of sliced sides.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Taipei's everyday noodles and sliced sides

Traditional noodles use clear broth, oil noodles, and simple vegetables; sliced sides add a plate or two of meat or seafood according to daily supply. The pairing is classic old-Taipei breakfast and lunch.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Order noodles, then inspect today's cuts

Choose soup or dry noodles, then inspect the day's sliced sides at the chopping board. Braised pork and squid vary with preparation, so arrive early if they are priorities.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Braised-pork timing and sellouts vary daily

Braised pork is not fully available at a fixed early time and may sell out soon after frying. Check the counter before choosing sides.

✨ AI Quick Take

賣麵炎仔 (Mai Mien Yen Tsai) is a representative Dadaocheng old shop built on plain, direct craft. The simple room follows the rhythm of a traditional noodle stall and substantial sliced sides, with braised pork, noodle soup, and wonton soup showing steady fundamentals.

Uncle's line: Its strength is not variety but honesty in every bite, with the skill of many years clearly present.
Key note: On Anxi Street in Datong District, it is roughly a ten-minute walk from Daqiaotou Station. The lane is recognizable by its queue. Seating is tight and parking difficult, so metro or scooter is easier.
● Braised Pork

A prominent signature with a lightly crisp fried exterior, crackling first and tender, fatty meat after. Lean and fat each contribute without heaviness, and cleanly handled richness reveals careful frying and slicing.賣麵炎仔 (Mai Mien Yen Tsai) visit photo

● Noodle Soup

Simple but representative, its chicken-bone broth is lightly sweet, clean, and faithful to old flavor. Oil noodles absorb the soup while keeping a comfortable texture, making this durable basic the right starting point.

● Wonton Soup

The same chicken-bone broth stays bright, clean, and gently savory-sweet. Slightly thick wrappers give clear bite around small but flavorful meat fillings. It pairs naturally with sliced sides for a complete old-shop table.賣麵炎仔 (Mai Mien Yen Tsai) visit photo

● Squid

A limited daily sliced side worth arriving early for. Clean preparation preserves springy crunch, and a little soy sauce is enough. Its unadorned sea flavor displays attention to ingredients.賣麵炎仔 (Mai Mien Yen Tsai) visit photo

💡 A Small Note on Quality

Choose noodles first, then sliced sides. Arrive early for braised pork or squid because daily preparation varies. Noodle soup or wonton soup with several cuts is a dependable complete order.

  • On Anxi Street, Datong District, within walking distance of Daqiaotou Station and the Dadaocheng neighborhood.
  • Traditional noodles and sliced sides lead, with braised pork the best-known signature.
  • The old-school noodle-shop room has simple seats, shared tables, and peak-time crowds.
  • Suited to old-Taipei flavor fans who value honest texture and accept a queue.

📌 Editor's Summary

賣麵炎仔 charms through grounded old flavor rather than packaging. Braised pork, lightly sweet noodle and wonton soups, and daily sliced sides all carry traditional stall substance, making it a memorable Dadaocheng stop.
