Not sure why the reviews are so low. This place is POPULAR. If possible make a reservation online. The parking situation is a bit crazy. Besides that the menu is a bit overwhelming in that it's like 50 pages long and everything looks good LOL. The beef noodle soup is GOOOD. The fishballs are tasty and the meat so tender. The shaved noodles aren't hand shaved which kinda sucks. We also got the popcorn chicken which was super crispy and tasty. The drink I ordered was also so good- wintermelon with aiyu jelly. Would highly recommend anyone who wants authentic Taiwanese food to visit here read more

No.1 Beef Noodle House - Taiwanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

TLDR: Decent taiwanese food place in Burnaby. I agree with other reviews saying its a "late night style" place. Huge menu with different types of noodles and appetizers. Extremely busy when we went for early dinner on a Sunday. Food: We got 2 appetizers and 2 noodles. For us, we enjoyed mostly everything but the biggest let down was the broth in our beef noodle soup. It seemed a little bland and missing the depth of flavor I expected. The noodles, toppings, and appetizers were all great. Portions were very large. I do wish the pig ears were ~30% less oily but that can be personal opinion/taste. Service/Ambiance: I would not call this a high class place, expect fast and direct service. The staff also does not have great english but can get by as the menu has numbers (ex. A1, A2, etc.). Price: Prices for things felt a little high but can pass since the portions were quite large. My beef noodle was $20 and the pig ears were $17. Takeout containers was an additional 50 cents and there was a 2% fee on credit transactions Misc: The menu is HUGE, I mean over 100+ items. This can be a pro or a con, lots of variety but I based on our experience with the broth I'm wondering if anything really stands out read more

To note: 2% fee on credit cards and takeout boxes are 50 cents each. Hectic and small parking lot. Busy place so thought it was a green flag at first. HUGE menu (usually a red flag for me) - like 20 pages long 1. The crispy chicken was good, chicken was still juicy, batter a little thicker than I like. I would get again. 2. Pig ear has good flavor, mildly spicy, but way too much oil. 3. Beef noodle soup: beef shank was tender and flavorful, but the broth was bland and very elementary tasting. Lacking herbs and fragrance to give it depth. I wouldn't get beef noodle soups again. Not much service unless you track someone down. Overall, this place is okay if there's nothing else around, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

The few times I've been here, there is always a big line up to get a table. I tried their version of TanTan noodles. It's very different from what I'm normally used to eating. I'm used to the peanutty flavours and a thick soup base. The TanTan noodles here are more brothy and beefy with a lot of peppers. The noodles are cooked perfectly though. The ramen with the beef brisket is amazingly yummy. The restaurant is average in size. The parking lot is very tight. Most of the time you'll need to find street parking a block away read more

Been a while since i've been here but i came back again on a weeknight. It was busy. lineup outside the door but turnover was fast. They have an electronic waitlist system now - sign up on the screen inside. The menu was massive last time i was here, now its even bigger its kind of ridiculous. You are bound to find something you like. Food is consistent. All good, nothing blowing your mind but very solid. Their prices seemed to have gone up but their portions are enormous. A meal combo is too much food for one person. This time we ordered: mixed beef dry noodle - has a sichuan peppercorn spicy sauce with beef shank/tripe/tendon, side of soup with fish/meatballs and some veg. Solid 4/5 for both. beef hotpot - comes served on a little fuel burner with a side of scallion oil noodles and 2 veg sides. Also solid 4/5. A ton of food. TW popcorn chicken (salt pepper fried chicken) - good. well seasoned, juicy thigh chunks. Hot + sour soup - this was mediocre. lacking any depth of flavour. Not terrible, but nothing special. pea flower lemon passionfruit tea drink - average. This amount of food will easily feed 4. Our party of 2 took a lot home. Total bill with tax and tip was just under $100. note: credit card has a 2% surcharge. Service was just right for a place like this. They promptly took your order and brought you tea. Easy to flag them down but they didnt approach you beyond that. Everyone was nice. I would definitely keep coming back. Its an excellent casual "jack of all trades" Chinese/Taiwanese place. read more

Googled and this Taiwanese restaurant came up. It's a small restaurant but a very busy one. Long lines outside on a Saturday but we joined waitlist and it didn't take long to get in. Service is quick yet efficient, very typical of Chinese restaurant. Menu has wide range of selection from congee to fried rice, noodle and noodle soups to hot pots and everything in between. It serves Asian breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice place to have a fill of Asian comfort food. The space beside sells frozen food. read more

This place is basically the Chinese/taiwanese version of late night junk food. Giant menu, lot of selections on everything, somehow everything is decent but definitely overpriced. You can't really go wrong with anything, the portions are decent sized, the deep-fried stuff hits, and the noodle soups do what they need to. But let's be real: the service is borderline non-existent, and they will make everyone at the table order something, even if you're just tagging along, and it's cash or debit only. It's not gourmet. It's not cheap. But when you want salty, greasy, food late at night, it's open and itll hit the spot. Ambience is CHAOTIC. read more

Omg this is hands down the best TW beef noodle place I've been to. It's so hard to find a good bowl of TW beef noodle in Vancouver but this one takes the top! Noodles are chewy, beef is perfectly tender... soup isn't too salty. The rice dishes are good too. I highly recommend this spot :) read more

They have an extensive menu with a lot of variety. Based on the menu, this appears to be Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup, as they offer items commonly found at Taiwanese night markets. The service was very fast, with the food ready in about five minutes. The noodle soup was served piping hot. The broth had a strong flavor without being too salty, and the noodles absorbed the flavor well, which I really enjoyed. The beef tendon melted in my mouth, though I personally prefer a bit more texture. The beef was a bit tough. I really enjoyed the crispy chicken bites; they were well-seasoned and juicy. read more

Im a frequent to this restaurant most foods in here are good..: Excellent service but one of my visit the female crew almost zero english and it was kinda hard to place an order but in all fairness she did everything to understand me: The pyramid rice were good and very instagrammable.Presentation of foods? 10 out of 10. No soda in this store so you will end up ordering their drinks or just go for water. Cash and debit card only. Pretty loud in here maybe because all my visits the place were full house. Simple interior design,free parking shared with other restaurants in that block. Looks like they already need a washroom make over.

I visited here last Thursday for dinner. My sister and I felt like having Taiwanese food as I felt curious of what this resto was like. The restaurant was nice and clean. Pretty big menu with variety. There was a late night specials as well. We ordered Tendon and Shank beef noodle ($17.75) with double iron plate (AAA beef steak with squid tentacles, $27.25). Food was excellent. Beef noodle had tender meats with tasty soup. Soup wasn't too salty it was not bad. Double iron plate was fantastic. AAA steak melted me my mouth like cheese. So yummy and soft. Squid tentacles were nicely done too. Mushroom tomato sauce was SO salty to go with it though. Please don't get this sauce. The taste reminded me of Hayashi Rice, it was salty and ketchuppy in taste. Food was rather pricy. However it was pretty good I couldn't stop eating. Double iron plate dish was super dreamy in my personal opinion. Not the kind of restaurant I can dine out often. Dining experience was pretty worth it. Besides we didn't wait too long for food to arrive. *Two thumbs up-* cash and debit only! read more

We order take out from here a lot but it was my first time eating in. Rumours say they're always super busy so I guess we were lucky to be seated shortly after we walked in. Everything here is super authentic, BEEF NOODLE SOUP and SHREDDED CHICKEN WITH MARINATED PORK RICE BOWL is a must get! TRADITIONAL RAILWAY BENTO is also super yummy but we passed on it this time. Really wanted to try the stinky tofu but sadly was sold out. read more

What a treat! I can safely say that this is one of our better meals in Vancouver. I went with my husband and twin toddlers. Ordered fried squid tentacles, beef noodles, mini portion of luroufan, broccoli with egg white sauce and seafood, and iced coffee with milk tea. Service was ok, nothing to complain or write home about. We went at around 1 pm and got seated almost immediately. Restaurant is not huge but patrons come and leave pretty quickly. Food portions, outside of the fried foods, are decently sized for finishing up there. The portion of fried squid was intimidating but could be a bonus for someone who loves fried food. The beef noodles was the standout for me, noodles were perfectly chewy and soup was not too salty. The broccoli was also well down, and luroufun was super tasty! If i lived in Vancouver ill be there every week to try the entire menu. Def hope to be back! read more

Very popular place. We tried to get in three times before we found a short wait to try it. Very small strip mall parking. Once we got in we are asked to punch in our phone #. We waited outside where there are chairs and the menu to preview. While we waited we went next door where they sell the ingredients that they make in the restaurant. Prices for these are a little high but found thing not found elsewhere. When it was close to our time the waiter asked us to come in from the cold. There we looked at the very extensive menu. Within minutes we were seated in the back. We tried their assorted deep fried basket with the stinky tofu. Which had pigs knuckles, chicken bits, squid tentacles, beans, and shrimp chips. For $31 well worth it. I did not prefer the stinky tofu. Next time just order the regular deep fried tofu. My wife loved the stinky ones. More for her. We also ordered their house special beef shank and tendons with wonton. Excellent dish. Extra large bowl with added veggies and we pick the hand cut thin rice noodles. More than 8 types of noodles to pick from. We also got their steamed juicy pork buns. We have been to other places and the serve you 6 in an order. Here they give you 8. The skin was slightly thicker than I like but very tasty with the dark vinegar dipping sauce. My wife had a noodle dish A23. Very nice white soup base with their ramen. The noodles were just done not too soft. Great job. Was way too much food so had to pack a lot home for later. Small restaurant so always a wait. We only waited 12 minutes this time but other times we were told 50 to hour and a half. Service was fast attentive and polite. Washrooms very nice and clean. The only reason we did not give five stars was it was very cold in there and we had to keep our coats on. The tea pot and paper cups kept us warm. We saw a lot of things that we will go back to try next time. read more

I was craving for a congee breakfast and found out they have many breakfast sets on their menu. I ordered via Uber app for pick up as the restaurant online ordering forced you to upgrade the drink to a large and I didn't want that. I had the century egg pork congee with the egg custard bun and cold soy milk. All three items hit the spot. The congee was one of the silkiest and smoothest I ever had. I think I am so used to those from T&T and Pricesmart and they cannot compare to the one here. The egg custard bun was still warm and the filling just flowed when I broke it into half. Yummy. The soy milk was just great to end the simple breakfast. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes. read more

https://www.instagram.com/vanleo.eatsfood1015/ Been to this one numerous times over the years , I love that they have a bubble tea happy hour between 3-5PM I believe - so don't forget to grab them drinks ! I would like to say try there beef noodles they are super tasty and great portions in my opinion - I did not grab the noodles this time around so no picture, however my old school traditional mom is a huge fan of the noodles here, so that should be saying something , since man they can be picky sometimes ! I've also had the Salty peppery nuggets and squid from here , both super amazing , on par with bubble world and such - The fried rice I had this time around was probably not the best - I really should of stuck with noodles , but had a craving for spam and rice - I found the fried rice cold on arrival , and way too salty - I feel like they failed to incorporate the natural saltiness of the luncheon meat , and added so much additional salt , that it became way to salty for me. Overall - for the noodles I'd fully suggest this one , crispy snacks? you bet ! However, drinks are hit and miss with sweetness levels , and the fried rice was a no go for me ! read more

We came here craving for some beef noodles. We ordered a beef noodle, half beef half tendon noodle and chicken nuggets. The chicken nuggets is one of the best we had so far from the places we been to. It is well seasoned, crispy and juicy. Totally recommend ordering that dish. As for the beef noodles, the beef and tendon are very tender and the thin noodle texture are great. However, the broth and beef lack flavour. We totally want to add some salt or soy sauce into the dish. It was kind of disappointing. The staff are friendly and the place only takes cash or debit. They have a frozen good store next door which also only take cash or debit as well. read more

NOTE: Cash only under $25 and they only take debit for orders over $25 My group of three came for dinner around 8 pm on Saturday and we were able to get seated immediately. The menu here is HUGE and was way too hard to see on our phone screens, so we asked for physical menus. Even then, because the font was small on the menus, it was a bit hard to read. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and then took advantage of their drink happy hour which starts at 9 pm to order bubble tea. Food came out within minutes after ordering, I'm guessing because there wasn't much of a wait in the kitchen. We tried the following (* marks my favorites): Marinated egg ($5.75) - pretty standard *Crispy salty peppery chicken ($11.25) - second favorite dish of the night. It was fried well and had a lot of flavor Tendon and shank beef noodle soup ($16.50) - it was a bit surprising given that beef noodle soup in the name of the restaurant, but we thought this was just okay. The broth is lighter on flavor, especially after eating some of the other dishes, but started getting salty near the bottom. Both the beef shank and tendon were very tender. *House special stir fried sliced noodles with lamb ($17) - best dish of the night. They were super soft and smooth, and the lamb was very soft and chewy Fried green beans with minced pork ($15.25) - pretty standard dish Beef with black pepper sauce ($24.75 for combo) - the beef was super tender but lacking in salt. The combo comes with rice and two side dishes of corn and a leafy green on the night we came I had a basic milk tea for my drink and it was really good. My friend enjoyed his taro milk tea as well. read more

One of the better options for late night food, esp. if you want delivery. Beef noodle soup is a solid option here. Salt & pepper chicken is hit or miss. Some pieces will be perfectly seasoned and some will be under or oversalted and it can be soggy. If you substitute dumplings in for the meat & noodles in any of the soups, the dumplings are pretty mediocre, but it can be ok if you eat it while the soup is still really hot (don't do this for take-out or delivery). read more

I'm so happy I gave this place another chance. Place has been updated since I've last been here. Staff are super attentive. And it didn't take long to get food at the table. I got the special beef shank with wontons. With flat rice noodle. And squid tentacles. The soup was perfect, adding on hot sauce. It just hit the spot on a cold winter night. Tentacles were not over cooked, it was cooked perfectly. And not Too salty. What made me amazed was the one server that was doing the front of house, taking orders, bringing our food, and was always super attentive to every customer. She was shorter with shorter hair. I should Of got her name, but I forgot. Kudos to you, you blew my mind on how friendly you were esp with how busy the place was. read more

Updated review: I hate to give negative reviews but feel this is justified. It's not about food quality but each time we go there the party trays get smaller and smaller. We qualify as major customers - each time we go we order like $200 or more of food, mostly the family/party trays. As you can see from the attached photo, their old trays (top) are WAY bigger, at least 2x bigger, than their newest trays (bottom) - I would say 3X bigger. Even the middle square tray, tho smaller than the rectangle one, is still bigger and deeper than the latest one. The prices do not match the significantly smaller portions. The amount of food now, for $40 or more, feels like maybe at most 50% more than what you would get from a $15-20 dish. It used to be that for $40 you get a HUGE amount of food that is worth the price but it's no longer worth it at all. It feels like a bait and switch tactic to trick us into going back, but don't be fooled like we were. I think the management of this place no longer deserves our $$. We feel cheated! read more

Family has been doing a lot of takeout as a result of Covid. We've been on the lookout for new places to try out now and then. No. 1 Beef Noodle House has been close enough for us to do take out. We've been hooked on it since. I think as evident by the name the beef noodle soup options are the star of the restaurant. I think by now I've had most of the options. I wholeheartedly endorse pretty much all of them. Their shank and tendon are super tasty. I've had it less often but their wontons are pretty good as well. I enjoy being able to choose the type of noodle included as well. Their rice noodles and glass noodles are my preferred choice. Got to throw out that their bubble tea servings are also solid. I've only had the black and green teas but both felt appropriately leveled in terms of sugar. Pearls are really good as well. Cannot recommend No. 1 Beef Noodle House as a great spot for Taiwanese food. The beef noodles are awesome. Definitely hasn't let me down yet. read more

Christmas lunch we were in Burnaby and looking for a place that was opened on Christmas Day for a quick bite before heading home to make Christmas dinner. Found this establishment searching restaurants close by. We got seated quickly as the restaurant wasn't busy but by the time we got our food it got busier. I can't have noodles so I ordered wonton soup small size. The size of the wonton as expected and there were 8 wontons. The broth was flavourful. I liked it had some vegetables. Not sure what he ordered but it looked really good. How I miss noodles. Good place for a quick hit for Taiwanese noodles. read more

This was the first time I came back during the pandemic. I went with a friend near the end of July 2021. Every dish we ordered satisfied my cravings. They have some plexiglass between tables, plus the common COVID protocols. The layout of the dining area was slightly different from pre-COVID to accommodate the new rules. Overall it was open and spaced out. They have such a wide range of menu from rice, noodle, deep fried, stir-fried, dumplings, congee, mini hotspot, hot iron plate to bubble tea. - Crispy salty peppery chicken nuggets (aka popcorn chicken) - Taiwanese style soya based seafood fried noodle - Thai style omelette fried rice with lamb Two cold appetizers came with the fried rice. They were cooked to reflect thoughtfulness. Everything was seasoned on point and authentic. The only critique I would give was that the crispy salty peppery chicken nuggets were a bit dry this time. Flavour and texture wise were great. Many people came by for their takeout orders. They offer 10% discount for self pickups. read more

Authentic asian cuisine that opens late and is reasonably priced??? This place is almost too good to be true! Friend and I were looking for food in the area past 10pm and as we almost gave up we stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try (so glad we did!) The place was popping even after 10pm we waited for about half an hour to get seated. The menu is HUGE and almost overwhelming cuz everything looks so good. I ordered the new item, Hakka pork feet (客家豬腳). The texture is chewy but tender and I love the garlic soy sauce dip! I'd say it's very authentic compared to what my Hakka family cooks in Taiwan. My friend got the laksa noodle with a side of calamari and raved about them too. Overall, very solid place that sells almost all kinds of Asian cuisine. The servers were super friendly too even at busy late hours so huge props to them! read more

Came on a Friday afternoon with 4 friends. Had the N2 noodle soup and sat ~30min until 3pm for happy hour (for 50% off milk/green/black tea). Nice space with lots of table options for groups. The menu is probably my favourite part -- TONS of options and has everything built in (including a "rules" page at the front). The beef noodle had a good amount of beef, but the soup was a little too salty for me. I definitely recommend the extra $1 for the sliced noodles. My milk tea with pearls & egg pudding & grass jelly (三兄弟) was decent, but my friend's oolong milk tea was too strong and seemed to have no sugar at 50%. Note that there's no bill splitting for happy hour, and debit only with minimum $25. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the other stuff on that packed menu! read more

The pork sauce was not very good. Very salty. Not very warm. The pickles were ok but not special. Beef noodle soup was decent. The broth was good although it tasted a little too much like Worcester sauce or something. The beef and tendon and wonton were all pretty so-so.
