“The reason to visit is the link between dual-sauce cold noodles and Xindian's military-village food. Sesame, pork, tofu, cucumber, braised tofu, and firm-tofu miso soup create aroma, chew, crunch, and warmth within a market rhythm shaped by takeaway regulars.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

From an arcade truck to a Zhongzheng Road shop

Lao Sun began from a truck under a Zhongzheng Road arcade, then became a shop while continuing Xindian's military-village cold-noodle tradition. Packed takeaway noodles, a pot of tofu, eggs, and pork feet, and fast-moving regulars keep that cart history on today's tables.

Mixed Cold Noodles

Sesame sauce and zhajiang coat springy thin noodles, layering sesame with savory minced pork and tofu. Shredded cucumber adds cool crunch, ideal for comparing the aroma of one sauce with the texture of the other.

Braised Tofu MetroBites visit photo

Braised Tofu

Three small tofu pieces are evenly braised, their pores holding sauce. Home-style savor gives way to bean aroma and a supple bounce, while braising liquid keeps them moist between bites of noodles.

Miso Soup MetroBites visit photo

Miso Soup

Large pieces of firm tofu replace egg in this simple soup. Gentle miso highlights clear bean aroma; a hot sip after rich dual-sauce noodles changes both temperature and flavor.

✨ AI Quick Take

老孫涼麵 (Lao Sun Cold Noodles) stands on Zhongzheng Road by the outer edge of Xindian Market, continuing more than forty years of military-village flavor. A Shandong-background owner began from a cart, built regulars with noodles and braised foods, and still prepares large volumes for fast takeaway. Mixed Cold Noodles combine sesame sauce and zhajiang with Braised Tofu and home-style Miso Soup for a deeply local meal.

Setting and atmosphere:The compact dining area retains the history of a traditional snack shop and resembles a familiar breakfast place. Guests take order slips, find seats, eat, and leave briskly; dine-in and takeaway traffic continues even outside weekend meal peaks. Packed noodles cover the cart as staff replenish them, while a braising pot bubbles with tofu, eggs, and pork feet.
Location and dining notes:The address is 新北市新店區中正路294號 on the edge of Xindian Market, about a ten-minute walk from Qizhang metro station. Chili oil, spicy radish, garlic paste, white vinegar, and wasabi sit at the front station. Taste the complete mixed noodles first, then add seasoning gradually. Add soup or a side if making the noodles a full meal.
Braised Tofu

One order has three small tofu pieces, evenly colored and porous enough to absorb sauce. Home-style savor leads into supple bean aroma without dryness; braising liquid keeps each piece moist. It never overwhelms the dual sauces and instead adds a firm chew.

滷豆干

Mixed Cold Noodles

Sesame sauce gives gentle sesame aroma while zhajiang adds minced pork, tofu, savor, and body. Springy thin yellow noodles become evenly coated after mixing, and shredded cucumber gives a crisp, refreshing turn. A little spicy radish, garlic, or chili oil can deepen the aroma.

綜合涼麵

Miso Soup

This plain home-style soup contains no egg, centering on large firm-tofu pieces. Soft tofu fills the spoon with clear bean aroma, while gentle miso refreshes the palate after rich sauces. Alternating cold noodles and hot soup creates a complete temperature and flavor contrast.

味噌湯
Uncle's line: the noodles mix two sauces, but the shop holds more than forty years of human warmth; regulars lift a plate and already know which jar of spicy radish to visit.
💡 Ordering note

Start with Mixed Cold Noodles, then add Braised Tofu and Miso Soup. Taste them plain before trying spicy radish, garlic, or chili oil one by one. Seats are limited and turnover is fast, so take a slip and check for a seat before ordering.

  • Location:新北市新店區中正路294號, about a ten-minute walk from Qizhang metro station.
  • Type:Military-village-style cold noodles, hot soup, hot noodles, and braised sides.
  • Recommended:Braised Tofu, Mixed Cold Noodles, and Miso Soup.
  • Highlights:Sesame and zhajiang dual-sauce noodles with a complete self-service seasoning range.
  • Good for:Fans of aromatic cold noodles, quick meals, and traditional market snacks.

📌 Editor's verdict

老孫涼麵 (Lao Sun Cold Noodles) preserves its cart-born pace, takeaway regulars, and military-village dual sauces rather than remaking itself as a modern noodle shop. Sesame supports minced-pork zhajiang, porous Braised Tofu adds bounce, and large firm-tofu pieces close the meal in Miso Soup. Self-service aromatics let a simple plate change several times.
