Taiyuan Noodle House

Shanxi


With a cake shop on the ground floor, head up to the bustling 2nd floor of this restaurant for Shanxi’s famous vinegar/noodle combo. If you're bewildered by the choices, go for the six-type taster (六中面套餐, liùzhōng miàntào cān; ¥36), otherwise choose pork noodles (排骨炝锅面, páigǔ qiàngguōmiàn; ¥16). It also does shāomài (烧麦; ¥12). No English menu, but there are pictures.

Aim for a window seat.
