Pros:
Very good bowl of beef noodle
Variety of beef noodle options
Cons:
Parking might be hard to find during peak hours
Being a lover of beef noodle, I can't believe I have not reviewed this place before. Better late than never I guess. If you love Taiwanese beef noodle. you definitely need to give Mei Nung a try.
Mei Nung is located inside First Markham place. If you've ever been to this place during peak times, you know parking is a pain in the you know what. Just keep that in mind when you come to this place. OK, now on to the good parts!
Mei Nung offers a variety of different types of beef noodle. Most places usually offer the one bowl name braised beef noodle. Mei Nung gives you the option of having different types of beef in your noodle. They also have some dry noodle options for days where you're not feeling soup. This is something I really like about this place. Some people like fattier cuts of beef and some people the leaner cuts. Mei Nung has something to satisfy every beef noodle lover. The dry noodles are great when it's hot and I don't want a hot bowl of soup.
The first time I came here long ago, I found the broth a little on the saltier side. Recently I've noticed that they've toned down the sodium levels while still maintaining great flavour to the broth!! Yay!!
The staff working while I was there with my 2 little ones were extremely helpful and patient. Even though the place is on the small side, they do have a good amount of seats and turnover at this place is usually very quick so long wait times are a rare occurrence.
I really like Mei Nung. It's one of my go to spots for beef noodle cravings. As long as you are OK with the occasional smelly tofu order, you've got nothing to worry about!
