One of the first things that many customers notice when they sit down in the bright, pleasant ambiance of Shantung Dumplings and Beef Noodles is the excellent jazz and blues music playing through the stereo system. It turns out that friendly owner Nicholas Hu is a big fan of the music, which provide a somewhat-unique atmosphere to enjoy his excellent food. As the small restaurant's name implies, beef noodles (NT$80) and dumplings (NT$4 each) are the main attractions here. The thick noodles (niu rou mien) come with thick chunks of beef and the shrimp-filled dumplings (hsia rou shui jiao) are similarly-tasty. However, these are just a couple of Hu's delicious dishes, including a good "soup-less" noodles (gan mien), curry beef or chicken rice (jia li fan), and Shantung beef rice (nio rou fan). There are various smaller side dishes to go with your main meal and most menu items are also available for take-out. Cokes and other cold drinks are found in the refrigerator at the back of the room. Hu has been running the popular eatery for about three years and says that the ideally-located establishment is already a big hit with many foreigners, not to mention Chinese. Heading in a downtown direction on Kung Yi Road, the Shantung restaurant is on the left, about two stores past the Meitsun Road intersection.
