XIANG JI

Heard this place was popular for beef noodles so came here to try with some friends. There is plenty of parking in this plaza which is good. And there was no wait for a table when we came. We got the Beef Noodle Soup (10.99) and the pork and chives dumpling 10 pieces (12.99). The noodles and dumplings were served pretty fast which was nice. You can get sauces for your noodle or dumpling at a separate counter by the door. I didn't get any because I thought it was good enough without. The dumplings were pretty good and big and I liked the filling. As for the noodles, it was a bit spicy for me since I can't eat any spice. The employee said it isn't too spicy so I trusted them but it was still a bit spicy for me but I could still eat it. I didn't drink much of the broth though. They gave ple

Excellent Taiwanese comfort food! The beef noodle soup came in a huge portion and was delicious, the braised combination plate was very well done and authentic, the dumplings were fragrant with nice flavor and texture, and the braised stinky tofu was stinky but in a good way. The restaurant itself was homey, and the wait staff were super friendly and welcoming. I wish I live closer but will happily go out of my way to eat there again :)

Solid Taiwanese restaurant with lots of options and big portions. The #1 noodle bowl came with the 3 gigantic pieces of meat, the most meat I have gotten in a noodle bowl. The noodles are packed with flavor and very satisfying. Plenty of indoor seating and friendly staff.

I have no idea where this 4.8 rating comes from. The beef was cut too thick—not really sliced nor chunked properly. The beef tendon had inconsistent texture, some parts soft, some tough. The noodle portion was very small. The platter had just a few pieces of tofu and some kelp. Nearly $20 for that? Way too expensive. I definitely won’t be coming back.

Authentic, no-frills Taiwanese noodle shop serving up hearty meals that remind me of childhood summers in Taipei. Service is friendly and quick. They also have a variety of frozen prepped meals like dumplings that we like to try next time.
