Went there for their soft opening and can attest that the soup is SUBLIME. The flavors are so subtle & don't over-power the meat. It's really really friggen good. So happy that he came and opened shop in NYC. My parents are from Taiwan so I hope I can bring them there one day too.
I was a financial analyst in Taiwan almost 20 years ago, and I fell in love with beef noodle (nee-yoh-roh-mee-en). I will say that the best had the noodles cut right off a biog hunk of dough. There is a place that does this in Chicago, and it is bad-@ss. In general Taiwan is a food paradise. It is like the secret magic spot in Asia for those in the know.
b ruh its because the people who know keepin it lowkey so we can stay eatin at these dope beef noodle shops with no lines !! dont drop the top on the secrets fam...
I've had ramen, pho, udon. I've also had beef noodle soup a few times in taipei. There's a reason why beef noodle is not as famous as the others. It's just not as good.
A big problem is the "beef noodle soup" I eat every week does not form a core concept in Taiwan yet. It's not even got a distinctive name just noodle with some vague adjectives. Every shop that puts any kind of noodle(I even have seen someone swap to pho or udon) in any kind of beef soup(stew?) can call themself a "beef noodle soup" shop. Compared to Japanese Ramen, Ramen has an industry-wide accepted framework set a guideline that every ramen will be made with three main parts broth, sauce, and a small subset of noodle. Toppings and other variations will not deviate too far from the core concept. But in Taiwan, unless you have googled some reviews, you won't have the slightest idea what a particular shop will serve you under the name "beef noodle soup" You can only be certain it will contain beef, noodle, and water(yes sometimes the soup is as bland as water).
Never been to NYC, but if I do, I'll *always* know where the best places to eat are. Another killer spotlight from the First We Feast crew. Well done, folks.
This is a very "authentic" original "Taiwanese beef needle soup" recipe, except goji berry, which is NEVER used. The brief reference of the dish is proper and CORRECT! Thank you very much.
IMHO This is the main obstacle why this dish(bowl?) did not gain enough ground. This dish hasn't gone through the process to generalize different family recipes to a core concept. There is absolutely no consensus on what a beef noodle soup is.
Not Taiwanese, but live in Taiwan.. food here is great, except Italian food.. Great video! Surprised First We Feast features this.. I have more respect for this show now.. wish I could subscribe twice :) Will have to visit your restaurant soon
This looks really good; however, I've been so disappointed with Taiwanese beef noodle soup from all over the U.S. Looks like you put lots of effort in this. Can't wait to try it.
so cool to see someone who is also from the SGV making it happen with his culture. wish I could get some of that beef noodle soup! guess I'll have to find a spot in the SGV lol
If you’ve never eaten Chinese/Taiwanese food in San Gabriel Valley, you don’t know what you’re missing. The place is a Chinese food wonderland for those who miss eating in China.
Growing up in the Midwest, a lot of westerners would call our foods/ingredients "the devil's foods/ingredients". But see most of them at the local Chinese Buffet.
I think I'll be making a trek to Ho Foods. This looks like a dish best left to the professionals, as it would take me the better part of a week to make at home. I've found complex soups to be some of the least rewarding dishes to cook at home in regards to return on effort investment. The amount of time and energy required is very high and the result isn't better than what you can buy from a decent restaurant. They're really foods best made in huge quantities while you're in the kitchen all day. So unless I'm making a huge batch to freeze or to feed a crowd, and doing it regularly enough to get good at it, this is a food that just makes sense to get from chef who makes it all day. The only soups I make at home now are miso soup, which I can make in half an hour from scratch, and chicken soup occasionally in a huge batch which I freeze in single and double servings. That Ho soup looks delicious and something that took a great deal of effort to make and perfect. I'm looking forward to a bowl.
all i saying i love all cultural food , i've been wanting someone show me the ropes of all noodle soups not only noodle soups but they all look so delicious and amazing , all i've tried so far is pho and i want to try more then that don't get me wrong pho is so good .
I don't know about that. Chinese noodle soups may have been the inspiration, but I feel that Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan have taken noodle soup far further into the realm of deliciousness than China ever has.
You know what the problem is? so many noodle soups that is only known to the local people, not even outside the city or province. Not to mention give it a naming to target western market, these noodle cannot even walk out of the town
I love taiwanese beef noodle soup, but its just so hard to find a good place in Flushing, Queens. My family ends up going out to eat vietnmaese pho all the time cause its pretty good too. Hopefully someone will open a place here in Flushing!
how good is this place? my family's restaurant chain won #1 TW food in SoCal when my grandpa was around so it's interesting he said they started in SGV

This guy's voice is so soothing!
haha I was thinking that. I want him to read to me before bed 😂😂😂

Garry Perkins I totally agree there’s nothing like beef noodles with hand sliced thick noodles.
I am a 7 hour drive from NYC, but that pales in comparison to the joy I expect to get from this soup. Up early, drive, eat, drive, return late pm.
Jerrod P it looks pretty easy to make. Do it yourself.
easy to make IF you got all the proper ingredients.... not easy to obtain if you live far from a major city
So did you eat it? Was it worth it?
lucky I live in texas
my man, r u in montreal or something? if u come to nyc ill take u some spots my friend
I agree this stuff is super underrated. Everyone talks about Raman, Pho, and Udon but nobody talks about this
b ruh its because the people who know keepin it lowkey so we can stay eatin at these dope beef noodle shops with no lines !! dont drop the top on the secrets fam...

Kal Beser speak for yourself. I crave the cheap beef noddle soup I tried on the side of the street in Taiwan.
I live in Taiwan and have many bowls of beef noodle soup but this one looks extra special!
My parents are from Taiwan and we live in Canada now. My mom makes it all the time and it's amazing!
Really good
I'm white, but I've been eating this dish my entire life, and it is hands down my favorite dish in the world. wo ai niu rou mien
I grew up in Taiwan bitch, go fuck yourself
Baneof Odin
white people trying to be asian. lol
Why does it matter if your white, you still have a tongue like anyone else
Hen hao chi ma???
If your favorite dish in the world is Taiwan niurou mian, I consider you Taiwanese.
went to NYC on a foodcation; this place topped everything
their beef noodle soup is no joke; insanely good
Just got back from Taiwan, nothing better than a hot bowl of beef noodle soup!
Other than Pho
Good to hear.
Apples and Oranges
Idk bruh I rather have a boatload of cash and hookers holding bags of cocaine. But u know. Apples and oranges
This beef noodle soups got me weak! If I could cook something like that, Id be king of the hill
Anton Marcus you could. it's not that difficult.
Richard's got me weak in the knees for his beef noodle soup
What did they do in this video that you couldn’t?
Time I guess
Mittens ingredients, time, equipment 😵 A proper kitchen to work in 😂
Just came back from Taipei, Taiwan the beef noodle soup is the best :)
If I was sick, this would be perfect. Also, this guy has a really calming voice!
I really enjoy your description. So chill but passionate at the same time
Never been to NYC, but if I do, I'll *always* know where the best places to eat are. Another killer spotlight from the First We Feast crew. Well done, folks.

SGV hype! Taiwan for life.
LETS GOO 626
A place where you'll see hundreds of SAT review places and boba shops.
SGV is THE place in America for good Chinese/Taiwanese food.
From Taiwan!! So proud of Taiwan!
Dude is super calm. I dig it.
The dude has an amazing and calming voice. Love it.
I had no idea about the history of the beef noodle soup! That's so interesting.
Beef noodle soup is the best thing in this world. Sichuan/Guizhou represent!
Been trying to learn this from my mom. There's really nothing quite like it.
IMHO
This is the main obstacle why this dish(bowl?) did not gain enough ground. This dish hasn't gone through the process to generalize different family recipes to a core concept. There is absolutely no consensus on what a beef noodle soup is.
My dad is Taiwanese, and one thing that he is misses in Taiwan is the beef noodle soup.
I love Asain soups. I wish I lived closer so I could eat a bowl of your soup. Thanks
Jon
So delicious looking.
Love it! Will visit the place next time I'm in NYC
My mother and father makes us this soup sometimes, it's a delicious meal and very filling :)
I hope you continue this series
It’s look like great.
I am glad I live in Taiwan,and I am gonna eat
Me too!
WOW! I am surprised to see your reply,and I watched your video.
Your channel is very good，and I like it.
Awesome! Thanks!
Blessings of the gods to you and may the ccp burn in hell.

This vid made me drool...
Now I got hardcore Taiwan nostalgia!!
this guy’s voice is soothing
so cool to see someone who is also from the SGV making it happen with his culture. wish I could get some of that beef noodle soup! guess I'll have to find a spot in the SGV lol
Can confirm, Taiwanese beef noodle soup is king when compared to other noodle soups
bruh nvm the food this guys voice is smooth like butter narrate my life pls
This is really tasty! I am from Taiwan! 😋😊
If you’ve never eaten Chinese/Taiwanese food in San Gabriel Valley, you don’t know what you’re missing. The place is a Chinese food wonderland for those who miss eating in China.
I live in SGV and he isn't kidding, there is so much good Asian food here :D
Growing up in the Midwest, a lot of westerners would call our foods/ingredients "the devil's foods/ingredients". But see most of them at the local Chinese Buffet.
this dude is so much more chill than Eddie Huang
Wow was literally just in NYC and returned yesterday, sad I missed this restaurant.
This is one of the three foods I miss most after living in taiwan
LMAO badass name for a restaurant
Man what else would you want to eat? This looks delicious. Give me this over a burger any day.
I think I'm addicted to beef noodle soup. Particularly Pho.
Their beef noodle soup's damn tasty. All the menu needs now is some Apple Sidra and Hey Song.
This gut talking about food is SO ASMR

*WOW! Definitely looks appetising!*
Holy crap that looks good.
Why is it that when people talk about asian noodle soups, Thai kuaitiao is never mentioned. That stuff is amazing.
Good to see TW getting on the map for food
So lucky this spot isn't near where i live. I'd be broke but satisfied.
listen, I'm ready for this soup to be ready to take over
This guy has a really soothing voice... I'm a 30 year old, straight man, but I would love it if he read me a bed time story.
Looks incredible...
That shit looks good
Kats Corruption really good
That dude is so softly spoken.
all i saying i love all cultural food , i've been wanting someone show me the ropes of all noodle soups not only noodle soups but they all look so delicious and amazing , all i've tried so far is pho and i want to try more then that don't get me wrong pho is so good .
Could really go for some good Taiwanese food. So hungry.
YESSSSS!!! Know what my next video will be about!
哈哈，那麼你要離開台中，去台北拍，比較好找。
That is a amazing looking bowl of soup
Well darn...why you in New York City.....San Gabriel valley is just a hop,skip, and a jump away from me.The soup looks yummm
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD HOLY HELL
omg this looks so amazing
I like this guy!
Dude names the restaurant Ho Foods, I give the video thumbs up.
Wutsizface I'm guessing his last name is ho and "ho" means hao which means good in Chinese so good foods 👍
Yeah, but it's funny because it's a pun on Whole Foods.
There is a 🍜 shop in my town that have been serving these 🍜 since i was a kid in the 90s.
Ogram Brat I bet it didn't cost $17 :)
Asian noodle soup in the US are basically Pho and Ramen now, there are so many Chinese noodles soups that should have been marketing
I don't know about that. Chinese noodle soups may have been the inspiration, but I feel that Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan have taken noodle soup far further into the realm of deliciousness than China ever has.
You know what the problem is? so many noodle soups that is only known to the local people, not even outside the city or province. Not to mention give it a naming to target western market, these noodle cannot even walk out of the town
Authentic guy.
Some hearty stuff right there
I thought he said "whole Foods" lol
OMG!! that looks yummy!
Maybe I'll visit one day and get some
Mmm Mmm Looks soo good :O
Definitely thought he said he was the owner of Whole Foods. I was thinking dang they don't have that at my local Whole Foods
That looks delicious
Taiwan food is awesome!!!
Please add link Ho Foods website next time! Would love to see more shout out and traffic driven to the places you highlight for content. Thanks!
I want that soup now
Goji berries in a beef noodle soup? That's an interesting mix for the broth.
Emmanuel Alejandro goji berries are pretty common in Chinese soups
I use it in chicken soup. It's pretty commom
Emmanuel Alejandro goji good for the eyes 😎
Goji berries are standard in Chinese/Taiwanese beef or lamb soup.
Goji berries will add some fruity sweetness and more flavor to it.
There is bloody no food after 11pm in sydney, I'm craving a bowl of noodle soup so bad.
Making me hungry once again!
excellent spot
I'm Taiwanese and I DON"T want our beef noodle soup to take over. It shall remain a secret.
Even if i can't eat meat , this look delicious
Looks pretty good! I Hope I can eat the Ho thing!
I love taiwanese beef noodle soup, but its just so hard to find a good place in Flushing, Queens. My family ends up going out to eat vietnmaese pho all the time cause its pretty good too. Hopefully someone will open a place here in Flushing!
That shit is so simple to make, you should make it yourself.
Come to knock knock in Long Island city
Dang this place looks legit.
Is there anywhere in England you can get something like this?
UNDERRATED
nice i love whole foods
how good is this place? my family's restaurant chain won #1 TW food in SoCal when my grandpa was around so it's interesting he said they started in SGV
why am I craving this soup at 7am?
SGV representing!
Okay...I just about to go out and buy beef noodles for dinner and this popped up lol
So hungry right now.
Damn son. That looks amazing.
