Reviews Summary
Liao Jia Beef Noodle Restaurant is highly praised for its authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup, featuring a delicious broth and tender beef. Many also rave about the unique and flavorful side dishes. While the food consistently earns high marks, be prepared for potentially long waits due to its popularity.
"LOVE their beef noodles! The soup was delicious and beef was just tender enough n flavourful!
If you enjoy the small portion of side dishes, u should try it.
I queued for around 20mins, and the beef noodle was sold before 1:30pm. So if u wanna get a taste of it, don’t be too late for it"

"Wow! The beef noodles were SO good. Noodles were chewy, broth deep favoured, beef tender, with generous portion of spinach. The sides we ordered were also very yummy, especially the beancurd.
Long queue. Had to wait almost an hour.
Very systematic and effective service.
Was worth the wait."

"We reach just 10mins past their opening hours. By then, the first batch of diners had already gone in, so we had to queue 30mins.
For tourist, here is their SOP:
1 queue outside to dine in or approach staff directly for takeout.
2 staff will approach you to write down how many bowls of beef noodles. Don’t tell them your side dishes order here.
3 wait patiently to be ushered in
4 queue at side dish counter to order your side dishes while waiting for your beef noodles. It takes around 5-10mins for your noodles to reach.
Please note that this is 清炖牛肉, not 红烧牛肉 that is traditionally braised in chili bean paste to give a unique red colour to broth. This soup is on the mild side, for people who enjoys simple hearty soup. If you want more oomph, add in their chili sauce (it is spicy!) I personally like this type of beef noodles (akin to clear broth in pho) but my partner doesn’t.
Side dishes: we enjoyed the beef tripe and tendon. Both are very tender which reflected hours of braising it. We didn’t add any sauce on it except for chili sauce at the side. Locals prefer to add soy bean paste over their bean curd which we find it a little too salty for our liking. The pickled cabbage is ok.
It is a pretty decent bowl of beef noodles. I wouldn’t travel down specially for it. Personally, I would have liked it better if there is more Chinese herbs being used to add another dimension to the broth."
