Mei Nung Beef Noodle House

Menu is quite simple. I opted for tripe noodle soup while the others at my table had the had beef and the tendon noodle soup.
The homemade noodles are thick and chewy. Its a very pleasant texture for me. The soup is tangy, has a little bit of spice and has subtle flavours of star anise and cloves.
I forgot to take pictures because after my first bite of the noodles, I was so drawn in.
Great place for some beef noodle soup!

I’m kinda disappointed at this place. I had pretty high expectations from the four star overall rating on Unilocal and wasn’t impressed by anything. I really wanted to like this place but it falls short of what I’m used to. Everything we ordered was simply ok, and nothing was special including the beef noodle soup :(
We started with the 3 side dishes which I am a huge fan of, the beef tripe, pig ear, and the seaweed. I don’t recommend them, they were all pretty bland and had nothing to them. I was dousing them in chili sauce. By far the pig ear was the best one of the three.
Next up was the fried stinky tofu, it was crispy and had a nice sweet sauce with it. It was okay, again I don’t exactly like stinky tofu but it was decent.
The dumplings were just okay. I am not used to thick doughy dumplings wrappers and the meat inside was rather tough. I do not recommend these.
The beef noodle soup was definitely the best thing we ordered though, the noodles were chewy in a good way and the broth was pretty good and flavourful. There’s a distinct sourness though and I found the beef to be a tad tough/​chewy which is disappointing. I’ve had better at other restaurants.
Lastly, the zhajiangmein/​fried bean sauce noodles didn’t have much going on. It was skimpy on the bean sauce/​pork and tasted rather bland.
Service was standard and I felt the value could have been a bit better.
All in all, just stick with the beef noodles here. Everyone orders one!

Their noodles are handmade. The bounciness of the noodles was just right but the soup is on the salty side. Beware, the place smells like stinky tofu, which we ordered. Verdict? Mehhhh

Yummmm stinky tofu I think it was the best in Toronto.

One of my favourite places to get beef brisket noodles in Toronto. The smell of stinky tofu is quite strong but you will get used to it after sitting there for a while. I do not eat stinky tofu myself but others seem to enjoy it. I like their thousand year egg with tofu appetizer. Love that there is 10% off for Unilocal users.

The smell is the first thing you noticed. But after a while you get used to it.
The beef noodle soup is awesome. And instead of waiting in line at say night it up for stinky tofu, get it here! No line ups and it comes hot and crispy

If you like beef, then this is the place to go. The soup base is fantastic, the homemade noodles are perfectly done, and the beef /​beef tendon are great. They have a wide variety of side dishes that go well with the beef noodles.
If you prefer, trade out the noodles for dumplings, which are also pretty good (a bit doughy).
Also, they play 90s canto-​pop, which is worth a star.

Yummmmm I finally made it here. Nobody wanted to come with me because of the smell. It smells awful the moment you open the door. It smells even worse when a table near you actually ORDERS the tofu.
You start to forget the smell in about 20 minutes. It takes a while…
The noodles are delicious!!! The soup especially is soooooo flavourful. Very salty towards the end, but when the noodles are soaked it’s amazing. I had the Beef Tripe (the brown kind, ngao toh) and it was soft and NOT chewy, I loved it.
The only companion willing to enter with me is my brother, an avid HK-​er. He ordered the beef and tendon. The beef meat is super soft as well and flavourful. The tendons are large and generous!
The noodles are «homemade» but they’re not the best I’ve had. They were decent. Still together with soup and meat, it’s a delicious bowl of noodles for about $ 8 – 9.
None of the my clothes smell like the restaurant so I’ll come back!
The restaurant seems echoey. Even with only a few tables of customers, it gets really loud.

This place has delicious taiwanese beef with noodles and broth! I have come here many times as it is a quiet little restaurant.
They serve stinky tofu here which I understand is not for everyone, and the smell can really seep into your hair and clothing. but if it is for you, it certainly beats lining up for an hour at Night It Up!
They offer regular and large bowls of noodles for reasonable prices (around $ 7 – 8).

I had been by here so many times in the past couple years, but never actually went in. Finally went in, and man was the food ever good!
Ordered myself the Beef and Tendon Noodles in Soup and the Stinky Tofu. Noodles were really good, nice and tender with the soup base with a good amount of flavour. The beef and tendons were both really good. Hard to find a store that gives you quality in both those, as usually a store is lacking in one or the other. The Stinky Tofu was absolutely great. Now, you either like it or you don’t, and I’m definitely a fan! Nice and crispy on the outside and warm on the inside, with a good amount of sauce and veggies on the side!
I don’t mind the smell of stinky tofu, so it doesn’t bother me much, but if you don’t really like that smell, you may find yourself having a hard time getting yourself here. Service is great, as they were super busy for lunch, but still able to meet everyone’s needs. They also give 10% off if you check in with the Unilocal app, which is more of a reason to come here!

By far one of the best noodle places I’ve gone too.
I haven’t been to first Markham place for a while and as I was walking the strips of restaurant, I mention to my sister if she smelled something in the air. Turns out it was the smell of stinky tofu. I couldn’t figure where exactly it was coming from. However, once we located the restaurant, my sister asked if I wanted it to go. I was full from our steak meal and told her another day.
Three weeks later, my friend told me there was a really good restaurant. I mention to her I could eat anything. Turns out, she picked the same restaurant I wanted to try out.
Once we got in, I let my friend do all the ordering with only one stipulation; one order of stinky tofu.
She had ordered me and her a bowl of homemade beef tendon. The meat was cooked perfectly, leaving you drooling after each bite.
The stinky tofu was such a large portion and came with pickled cabbage.
Best mix is to dip the pickled cabbage in the hot sauce and stuff it in the stinky tofu, so you get a bite of cabbage with tofu.
Honestly, just writing about it makes me crave for it. No exaggeration here. Highly recommend this place if your looking for a good bowl of noodles and don’t mind the smell of stinky fermented tofu.
This is so popular that when my coworker asked what I did on the weekend, I told him I went to a killer noodle place. Little did we realized we both went to the same place but on different days on the weekend!
Give this place a shot, you won’t regret it!

The food at this place is so good. I stopped by with my family on vacation, and I really enjoyed my lunch at this restaurant. We got two orders of stinky tofu, two different beef noodle soups, fish balls with meat, and three side dishes. The stinky tofu was amazing! It had the perfect deep fried texture, and the sauce they use with it is so good. I couldn’t stop myself from eating more and more pieces until it was all gone. It does not at all taste like it smells (thank god), so hopefully that doesn’t deter people from trying it. The beef noodle soup was also amazing. When I originally saw the menu and noticed they offer their beef soup by itself, I thought it was a bit odd… but I totally understood why after trying the soup. The soup is so flavorful, and it would be delicious even if consumed on its own. The noodles used in the soup were very soft. The beef and the beef tripe were good too. The fish balls with meat could’ve tasted better. It wasn’t bad, but I probably wouldn’t order it again. All of the ingredients tasted pretty fresh, but I found myself underwhelmed with the flavors in general. The side dishes were decent. We ordered the cucumbers, pig ears, and seaweed strips. Of the 3, I liked the cucumbers the most.
The service at this restaurant was fine. The prices overall were very reasonable. The smell of the restaurant was a little off-​putting when I first walked in, but my nose adjusted to it pretty quickly. If I lived in the area, I’d definitely come here regularly for the stinky tofu and beef noodle soup. I’ll be back the next time I’m in the area for sure. 4.5÷5

Stinky tofu was crispy, however it was too salty for my liking.
Beef noodle broth was flavourful. Price is very reasonable and they will give u 10% off with Unilocal coupon.

As per everyone else’s review, it’s pretty pungent in here. But I consider myself of a beef noodle soup connoisseur and theirs is solid. I got the meat and tendon one and it was delicious. The noodles were great and both the meat and tendon were soft and tasty. Definitely sated my craving.
I may have found a new haunt for lunch.

Overwhelmed by the smell of their famous stinky tofu the moment I walked in. I’m not a fan of this Taiwanese delicacies, but if you are or feeling adventurous this place should please you well.
I’m here for the Taiwanese beef noodle! Noodle have a nice chewy texture, which is what you should expect for this dish. It should never be too soft. Beef on the other hand was tender and the broth mixed with a spoonful of salty-​sour-​vegetable bits was on point! This dish comes in two serving sizes and the large was very filling.
Sadly they don’t serve soup dumpling (xiaolongbao) here. However regular dumplings are available; worth a try.

I got to say this restaurant is my ultimate preggers craving. I’m probably there at least once a week!!! Poor husband is probably sick of it lol
Once you step inside this restaurant, you immediately get hit with the smell of stinky tofu. No body seems to mind this smell.
The place is small and has a great turn over rate so you don’t have to wait too long when there is a line up at the door. It’s very kid friendly and they offer FREE WIFI if you bring your iPad/​tablet for your kids.
I usually order the minced meat noodle in soup and my husband orders the beef with tendon noodle soup. Amazing! We also enjoy ah Choy too sometimes.
The noodles are chewy and the soup is perfectly hot! I love how complex the flavour of the soup is yet so simple and good.
I am obsessed over the SPICY CHILLI SAUCE — it’s spicy so don’t got crazy with it lol
If you ever want to try something new, try this place. You definitely won’t be disappointed.

Beef and tendon noodle was great! Portions of meat were generous and soup base was legit. Noodles were also extraordinary! All in all, it was an impressive bowl of Taiwanese style noodle soup.
We came in at a busy time, so wait times were about 20minutes and they were really understaffed. But for the price, it was expected.

When I walked into this place, I gagged. The smell is wretched and I thought someone had thrown up right inside the entrance. Don’t worry about that though, because it’s just stinky tofu. My girlfriend loves stinky tofu, but the last time she had it, it was so bad that I might have broken up with her had I been more shallow.
Despite that opening, I actually loved the beef noodle soup here. It was just a small hot bowl of love. I ordered the small because I wasn’t too hungry, but even the small was a fairly large size (I wonder what the large would have looked like). The broth is what separates it from most places. It’s just got this wonderful aroma and was just salty enough. The beef brisket was wonderfully tender and soaks in all that broth. And speaking of soaking, those noodles are just… man, I just wish I had them at home because they would be good in anything.
The place is tiny but turnaround is quick because the meals are simple and fast. The service here is real friendly, which made me like the place that much more. If you’re looking for a quick simple lunch, this is definitely the place to go.

You can smell their stinky tofu from 500m away… god so stinky… but so… deliciousss…
who doesn’t like fried tofu? I mean its so crispy and juicy. !!
The signature beef noodles was pretty good too. the beef was moist and the soup was not too salty not too plain !!

Big portions even for a small, affordable priced and you could smell the stench of stinky tofu right when you enter the restaurant… I couldn’t order it because my gf wouldn’t allow me too –_​_​_​_​–
The quality of the food was mediocre, found the beef to be a bit too chewy and the broth was too salty… had to run to a boba place inside fmp to get myself hydrated
