I remember when this place first opened up. My family was so excited to come here and have some good old, authentic, Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. Fast forward many years... and surprise! We still come here.
Why you may ask?
Because the Taiwanese restaurants in Toronto are truly lacking. And as far as Toronto standards go, this place is decent. But it is nowhere close to the magnificent bowls of delicious beef noodle soup you can get in Taiwan.
Mei Nung's beef doesn't melt in your mouth (but a true Taiwanese knows it should). Their soup is quite watered down, and the noodles are meh.
But whenever I crave my motherland's food, I come here. And then I always leave with the same disappointment, and the same "it's not quite there" feeling I always have.
Until a better beef noodle soup place opens up in Toronto, this'll have to do.
