You can experience West Lake Noodle
House's efforts to provide a clean dining environment
as soon as you set foot in the restaurant which, unlike
the stereotypical less-than-clean noodle shop, is bright
and clean. The restaurant is conveniently located on
a side street by Carrefour's ChingHai branch. Its unique
flavors and health-oriented menu draw many diners. Simple,
fresh Steamed Duck Noodles (NT$100), the assorted-ingredient
Beef Noodle Soup (NT$180) and a variety of dumplings
(NT$7 each) with different fillings (with a higher vegetable-to-meat
ratio), are all popular dishes here. Dumplings come
in kimchi, fennel, cucumber and gourd varieties. The
tortilla bread is an attraction here and, wrapped around
stewed meat without any additional seasonings, is very
good. Another hit is the private-recipe kimchi, which
makes a good gift for friends and family. The restaurant
opens early in the morning and serves three meals. Fans
include several celebrities, who have visited West Lake's
main restaurant on YingCiao Road and left their signatures
there.
