“For light pork thick soup and dry noodles on Xinzhuang Old Street. Thinly coated hind-leg pork retains meatiness and spring, while the shop's early history and regulars give each bowl a temple-street setting.”

✨ AI Quick Take

Walk along Xinzhuang Old Street to Wusheng Temple and 林記香菇肉羹 (Lin Ji Xiang Gu Rou Geng) hides in a storefront easy to miss. Without flashy frontage, it has sustained decades of everyday flavor through mushroom pork thick soup and dry noodles. Its concise combinations of thick soup, oil noodles, rice vermicelli, and glass noodles stay light and simple, suited to a quick Taiwanese bowl or a stop during a Temple Street walk.

Setting and atmosphere:The shop is narrow and small, with a few simple tables inside and more outside. Its open plan keeps cooking, tables, and passing regulars close, producing a brisk pace. There is no elaborate decor—only soup being ladled, noodles mixed, and familiar customers arriving. It is not built for lingering conversation, but tight seating and plain furnishings express the atmosphere of an old temple-side shop.
Location and dining notes:The address is 新北市新莊區新莊路344號. When facing Wusheng Temple, look carefully for the understated storefront beside it; first-time visitors can easily walk past. Seats are limited and peaks or holidays get crowded, so visit off-hours for more ease. The open layout feels warmer in hot weather, and takeaway is an option. Choose Dry Noodles for fragrant noodles or Mushroom Pork Thick Soup Noodles for broth and noodles together.
Dry Noodles

Dry Noodles come in sweet-spicy and savory directions; this bowl uses fried shallot and cilantro for old-fashioned aroma. Sauce settles at the bottom, so turn and mix every strand for even seasoning. The noodles retain chew without a pronounced alkaline taste, and the shallot stays light rather than greasy. Later, a little liquid coats the noodles for extra smoothness. Add chili powder sparingly if you want clearer heat.

乾麵
Mushroom Pork Thick Soup Noodles

Oil noodles are topped with a clear mushroom pork thick soup, keeping broth, noodles, and handmade pork as the focus. Marinated hind-leg pork chunks are thinly coated and poached, staying tender and springy without excess fat or membrane. Naturally sweet broth is only lightly thickened, so it remains smooth and refreshing, while noodles retain presence. Add a little chili powder for a spicy finish if desired.

💡 Ordering Notes

First-timers can order one dry and one soup bowl. Mix Dry Noodles thoroughly from the bottom and eat while chewy; taste Mushroom Pork Thick Soup Noodles plain for light thickening and sweet pork, then add chili if desired. Sharing compares both styles. For takeaway, eat soon so absorbed moisture does not change the noodles.

📌 Editor's Summary

林記香菇肉羹 draws people through steady rhythm accumulated over decades, not elaborate design. Dry Noodles keep oil noodles, fried shallot, and simple seasoning light; Mushroom Pork Thick Soup Noodles combine gently thickened broth, springy pork pieces, and oil noodles in an old-fashioned, lasting bowl. The small site beside Wusheng Temple and its generational story add Old Street context to a quick meal worth including on a Xinzhuang Temple Street walk.
