Might have sold to new owners but I don't see the Taiwanese staff here anymore. The side portions on the combo are pretty generous, taste ok. The soup has only two pieces of beef. I can live with that, but the brooth is also very sweet which can be overwhelming when eating a whole bowl

Great beef noodle soup at a reasonable price point. Service was on the slow side but it was lunch hour. Will definitely return.

Everything was good until I tried the Shrimp and Pineapple. It was very mediocre and soggy. The shrimp is supposed to be covered in a crispy crust for this dish. Instead it's just a little power on the side of the shrimp as you can see on the picture. I don't mind the pineapple not being fresh and from the can, but the price is $16 dollars for this so I cannot ignore it being canned fruit.

The side dishes are great 👍🏼 and it's tasty so they earned a star for this. But the shrimp and pineapple is just not recommended from me at least. Maybe you'll have a different experience. Good luck.

I guessed they change the owner, it’s now very salty for every dishes

I got the Kung Pao Chicken combo and the Taiwanese Beef Noodles. Just a heads-up: the broth and noodles in the beef noodles are sweet. If you’re not into sweet flavors in savory dishes, you might want to skip it.

I’ve been here a few times over the years, usually when Chuan Siang (Potelicious), which is just down the food court, is closed or on vacay. It’s not even in the same league but it’s still good. The noodles were a little over done, though other times they’ve been good, and the broth is on the sweeter side which may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Chef Liu Kitchen in the Richmond Public Market (hence the 3 stars for mall atmosphere) is a GREAT destination for authentic Taiwanese food.

I usually get #15 which is their minced pork on rice and you get to choose any 3 side servings from their hot food selection; I vary between their green beans, tomato egg, mahpo tofu, soya egg.

As an extra, you could add their chicken fillet (#29) and that is a wonderful meal. Their chicken fillet is probably the best, IMHO, within the market - I’ve tried everyone else’s. While everyone else also makes a decent fried chicken fillet, here the fillet is tender and still juicy inside.

The shop owners are nice, humble people and patient with me when I can’t make up my mind. When it’s not crazy busy, which frankly isn’t common, the friendly people behind the counter have, at times, given me a small taste of other foods they sell to see if I might like their other dishes - YMMV.

Parking: Go all the way to the roof, no one parks there. Some tight corners so try to keep to your side of the lane. When situation permits let others complete their turn before starting yours.

I ordered Kung Pao Chicken Rice and it turned out to be cucumber chicken. There was very little chicken and a strong cucumber flavor... I asked who could guess what kind of dish this was after seeing the photo!
The shredded bamboo shoots as a side dish were very dry and tasteless and even tasted sweet. If you fail, it doesn’t taste like Taiwan at all, so don’t step on it!

Bought 2 sets of salted crispy chicken. The side dishes were a bit salty, the salted crispy chicken noodles were thick and dry, and I felt the taste had changed. This time I didn’t see the proprietress greeting the guests at the front desk. Did she agree to change the boss?

It tastes terrible!
It doesn't taste like Taiwanese beef noodles at all. I heard that the boss has changed, so I'm not surprised. The soup doesn't taste fresh because it must have been cooked for more than 5 days.

I have eaten authentic Taiwanese beef noodles at Master Niu many times. The beef tastes much better than the ones in the same place. For example, the owner saw my comment and wanted the soup to be hotter. Every time I eat it, it is slightly hot. If the soup If it's hotter, it could be 5 stars. I really hope the shop owner sees it.

Their beef noodle soup was authentic and really tasty. The broth is made up with rich beef flavour and the beef was really tender and as a Taiwanese this beef noodle soup might be better than most places in Taiwan. I would obviously come back here soon!
