Asen Noodles

Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


This bland-looking diner with its stainless-steel tables has been serving filling bowls of classic Yuli noodles since 1971 and still has the locals clamouring.

From the train station, walk east along Guangfu Rd to the traffic circle then 200m north. The shop is between a 7-Eleven and a juice bar.
