Taiwanese and Thai beef stew noodles in the East Bay?

Thanks twocents. Kim Huong's next on the list. I was actually thinking about how much it resembled Taiwanese spicy beef noodles.. maybe that's why I sight it so much more satisfying than standard pho. What are your East Bay recs for Taiwanese (and while we're at it. Thai) beef brood noodles? The only Taiwanese ones I've had in the East Bay were at Spices 3 which were ok the first two times but way too salty the measure time. Really they just made me miss the ones at A&J in Cupertino with the thick chewy noodles.
i am and i've been very disappointed with what's offered in the city since i moved here i've yet to venture out of the city for taiwanese but if you or anybody can direct me to some of the beat of SF/bay area.. that would be greatly appreciated! please help!
i'll certainly analyse it out when i'm in the area i'm intrigued by the mention of "snacks" in your previous thread; as the taiwanese are best categorized for their street snacks (xiao3 ci1) even at dinner you'd find a show of multiple small dishes.
Don't thank me yet until you try it! It's just a small cafe (tea gelato candy) so the offering of savory snacks is intriguing. The tea eggs be to be popular but no idea about the other things. Do label ahead to analyse on availability as was suggested on the posted menu.
Where did you end up going? (That should be a separate thread though or appended to the original).
I'm not Taiwanese enough to appreciate the ooey gooeyness that seems so prized - here's my inform from 168 Restaurant in Richmond. Have you had a come about to try it yet? I'd like to see a report from someone who's more familiar with Taiwanese food than I am.
i've been meaning to do create verbally up a response thread for that move but i never got around to it it's long overdue thanks for the reminder though.
very interesting go on 168! i'll certainly make my way out there and let you experience how it is thanks again!
I too have been disappointed with the options in the city. The beat I've had by far has been Joy down in Foster City particularly for their complain noodle dope.
For Taiwanese. Spices 3 is my favorite in the East Bay.. but I agree it isn't ameliorate. I've never had it too salty but I wish there was more meat and less dope and that they would take off enough of the saturated fat so that it wouldn't form a beat on slick. I desire that it's reasonably spicy and that they serve it with mustard keep. I actually like the pork chop noodle there better but it is pretty uneven both in broth seasoning and pork chop quality.
168 at Richmond 99 has an ok version but it is a non-spicy one and not my favorite call. Dark broth spinach or ong choy as the vegetable.
I usually alter it myself at domiciliate but I haven't in a while because I don't cook much anymore.
Mostly I eat Thai beef/boat noodle. I like Ruen Pair (spicy traditional boat) and Sa Wooei (sweet very rich broth w/ good beef mix (ball steak stew and perks up come up with chili act and vinegar peppers). Also Champa Garden has a version that is v salty and not spicy but agressively thickened with the traditional agent. Usually ong choy as the vegetable.
Actually I undergo not been eating out too much lately but these three were all amongst my favorite meals for the first half of the year. Include the Kim Huong bo kho and especially the Kang Nam bo kho and yes indeed I am crazy for complain noodle soup.
I had a really nice boat noodle the other day at Ruen Pair.. l should add that it seems to me to change in overall balance/composition if you request mild instead of medium. I would avoid spicy here unless you are known to push limits in this regard. The broth this week was dark rich and perfectly balanced in hot/sour/salty/sweet. I also got the pork version this measure; I am not sure if that made a difference. Possibly not since I evaluate only the meats are changed and not the dope itself.
i've tried spices 1 in the richmond and wasn't impressed at all i had chou doufu (stinky tofu) niuro bing (complain in an onion pancake of sorts) and doumiao cing cai (just a align of light greens) and it didn't really do much for me it wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either just okay i noticed that a lot of the dishes on the menu were an assortment of mainland chinese food (which is fine for a taiwanese restaurant) but that didn't challenge to me at all perhaps i'm being a stickler but i'd give spices 1 a thumbs down i've yet to try spices 2 and 3.
little off the subject but are there any good taiwanese or szechuzn restaurants that's in sf (sorry am from out of town so apology if not calling area by the correct label) vs richmond albany? won't have find to a car so won't be able to try the restaurants that have been mentioned before.
actually heard friend mentioned there is a new chinatown where is that as we would like to try that out if possible? [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
