Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle

Given the option of going to yum cha or for Taiwanese beef noodle, my dad jumped at the opportunity for noodles. Yes, we are aware that yum cha is awesome in Vancouver, but we have been deprived of noodles for quite some time. The thick springy noodles did its job to satisfy my dad's craving for noodle and the hearty broth warmed our belly. It could however benefit from a richer and deeper flavour, and the spicy was not spicy enough. What did wowed us was the beef. The beef shank melted in our mouth, the tripe was bouncy and juicy, and the tendon was very tender. A bit more of the meats and a little less noodles, and we would be very happy campers indeed.

I went to Chef Hung in West Vancouver for a quick lunch with my friend. When she suggested it I was a bit nervous since Chinese Food usually raises my sugar level (usually it’s starchy). To my surprise, there were many low-carb friendly meals, even though it’s a noodle house. I ordered the beef soup and marinated tofu noodle (appetizer). They were delicious! I usually check my blood sugar level after eating a new meal, but unfortunately I didn’t bring my BG tester. I think it’s low carb because the beef soup was clear soup and not thick at all. Low carbers have to stay away from thick soup because that means a lot of starch is used. The tofu noodle, if it 100% tofu, then it shouldn’t raise my sugar level too much. It’s a small plate. I checked with the server if it was sweet and she said there’s no sugar. It was very delicious and great combo with the beef soup. I was fully satisfied. Service was great, the free tea was hot and tasty, and the meal came really fast so we were able to go back to work on time.

Way better then the richmond location. Service and food is way better then the richmond location. I usually get the tomato broth dish it's pretty nice. Some of their appies are good too if your a fan of century egg. Wish they stayed open later.

Best lunch on a cold blustery day!. No place better on a cold or rainy day than Chef Hung's. I've tried lots of different versions of their noodle soups and loved every one. Hot, savory and filling. Fast service.

Way better than the Richmond location. Food and service pretty good!
