Jinqiang Beef Noodle
Amber beef-bone broth and hand-cut shank for twenty-four yuan. A bowl at Jinqiang Beef Noodle.

Our editorial charter holds a simple rule: a ¥2,800 tasting menu and a ¥20 bowl of noodles sit on equal footing if both are extraordinary. Jinqiang Beef Noodle is the proof. By 7:30 A.M., the cauldron at the front of the shop is rolling with amber beef-bone broth.

Order the signature sliced beef noodle soup and add braised tripe or a tea egg. A spoonful of house-rendered chili oil wakes up the broth without masking the beef.
