“Founded in 1974, this Ximending noodle shop stands out for herbal master sauce: it clings to dry noodles, becomes a rich soup base, and turns sweet-savory and gelatinous over rice. Fried pork ribs add dry crunch, while self-chosen braised foods expand the meal. Travelers who enjoy bold noodles and rice should notice these contrasts beyond the old-shop name.”

WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

One master sauce changes between dry noodles and hot soup

Dry Yi Noodles wrap each strand in minced pork and master sauce; Wonton Soup Yi Noodles carries the same aroma into a dark broth with soft wontons and sprouts. Both are deliberately rich.

02
Sweet, moist pork rice and crisp ribs show different sides

Braised Pork Rice is generously sauced, with fat and gelatin making the rice moist and substantial. Fried Pork Ribs have a dry crust and tender meat, supplying a crisp texture unlike the braised dishes.

THE STORY

The story behind this place

1974 SINCE

A Ximending noodle-and-rice veteran since 1974

程味珍意麵滷味 was founded in 1974, with noodles, rice, and braised foods remaining its core. After moving next door and renovating, the braised-food counter up front and tables in back separated choosing from dining, while dry noodles, soup noodles, and braised pork rice continued to connect the old shop through a deep master-sauce aroma.

Dry Yi Noodles

Minced pork rests on yi noodles and bean sprouts, and mixing coats every strand in rich sauce. Herbal aroma is distinct; pork adds richness and sweet-savoriness, while sprouts bring crunch. The concentrated bowl suits diners who enjoy bold dry noodles and want to taste sauce merging with the noodles.

Braised Pork Rice

Fatty, gelatinous braised pork comes with enough sauce to moisten the rice to the bottom, coating it in substantial sweet-savory flavor. Its herbal profile resembles the shop's braised foods. Mix slowly for a fuller union of rice and pork; this is for those who like moist rice and deep meat aroma.

Fried Pork Ribs

Golden ribs are cut into strips with a dry, crisp coating, visible meat fibers, and tender interior. The coating crackles first, then gives way to soft pork and meat aroma. Easy to separate along the grain, its dry crunch contrasts clearly with the rich master-sauce dishes.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

A bowl of noodles or rice linked to pick-your-own braised foods

Cheng Wei Zhen follows the Taiwanese noodle-stall custom of pairing noodles and rice with sliced braised dishes. Minced pork, master sauce, and a self-chosen platter form one meal. Herbal fragrance links dry and soup yi noodles with braised pork rice, while the counter adds variety at the meeting point between a familiar eating style and the shop's own aroma.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Take a sample braised item; order staples separately

Choose braised items at the counter first and hand them to staff. For sliced items such as pig ear, take one piece as a quantity marker and confirm the portion according to the counter instructions; order noodles or rice separately.

02
Help yourself to drinks and chopsticks

Drinks are self-service and chopsticks come from the dispenser. Once everything arrives, check all items together.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Leave a light counterpoint among the rich braised flavors

Dry yi noodles, braised pork rice, and braised sides all have concentrated aromas. If the table leans heavily toward master-sauce dishes, use egg-drop soup or blanched greens to reset the palate. Wonton Soup Yi Noodles also contains master sauce and has a rich broth, so do not mistake it for a light soup just because it is a soup noodle.

✨ AI Quick Take

程味珍意麵滷味 is a Taiwanese yi-noodle and braised-food veteran in Ximending, Wanhua, about an eight-minute walk from 西門站 · Ximen and founded in nineteen seventy-four. It recently moved next door and renovated, but yi noodles, braised pork rice, and herbal braised foods remain its signatures. Dry noodles, soup noodles, and fried pork ribs each have distinct textures, suiting diners who enjoy bold traditional master sauce, want a full meal, or plan to share braised foods.

Interior and dining atmosphere:After moving next door, the renovated shop is bright and tidy, with a cleaner-looking braised-food case, counters, and new furniture. The layout is narrower with slightly fewer seats, yet local diners and travelers still frequently fill the room. Drinks are self-service and a chopstick dispenser is provided. The front resembles a braised-food stall while dine-in tables sit behind it, separating ingredient selection from eating noodles.
Location and dining notes:The current address is 台北市萬華區西寧南路65號, about 550 meters or an eight-minute walk from 西門站 · Ximen. Choose braised foods from the clean case and hand them to staff. For sliced items such as pig ear, one piece serves as the portion marker. Order staples separately and check everything after it arrives. Yi noodles, pork rice, and braised foods are all aromatic, so pair them with light soup or greens to reset the palate.
Dry Yi Noodles

Rich master sauce and minced pork cover the Dry Yi Noodles, coating every strand after mixing. The flavor is bold, somewhat reminiscent of Tainan yi noodles. Distinct herbal aroma runs through the sauce, while minced pork adds fat and sweet-savoriness; bean sprouts provide crunch. It suits anyone who likes a strong sauce presence, and a bowl of clear soup helps the rich noodles go down smoothly.

乾意麵

Wonton Soup Yi Noodles

The broth is darker than a typical clear soup because a clear measure of master sauce is added, bringing familiar herbal braise aroma and a full, concentrated flavor. Yi noodles absorb savoriness in the hot soup alongside soft wontons, minced pork, and bean sprouts, making both noodles and toppings substantial. For soup noodles with a rich profile, this has more character than a light broth.

餛飩湯意麵

Braised Pork Rice

The sauce is generous enough to coat rice grains to the bottom of the bowl. Sweet-leaning and rich, the pork brings fat and gelatin plus an herbal profile similar to the shop's braised foods. White rice becomes moist and seasoned, best mixed slowly and thoroughly. Those who enjoy deep meat aroma will appreciate how sweet-savory sauce and rice merge.

滷肉飯

Fried Pork Ribs

The coating is fried dry and crisp, while the cut surface reveals clear meat fibers and a tender center. It separates easily along the grain for sharing. The crust crackles first, followed by soft pork and meaty aroma. Unlike the master-sauce staples, it adds crisp contrast beside either Dry Yi Noodles or Braised Pork Rice.

炸排骨
Uncle's verdict: the old shop has new furniture, but the herbal master-sauce aroma remains. One bite of noodles, one bite of ribs—that is Ximending's familiar rhythm.
💡 Ordering Notes

First-timers can choose either Dry Yi Noodles or Braised Pork Rice, then add Fried Pork Ribs or self-selected braised foods. For soup noodles, Wonton Soup Yi Noodles has a stronger master-sauce presence than ordinary clear soup. If most dishes use the braise, add egg-drop soup or blanched greens for contrast. At the braised-food case, take only the indicated sample quantity.
