[New Restaurant] Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle (UBC) 新張營業 - 洪師父牛肉麵 (UBC)

Much to the delight of many UBC students, Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle has opened its doors for business near the campus in Vancouver at the new development Wesbrook Village. After several months of renovations, they finally started serving their signature beef noodles on October 31^st, 2012 to eagerly awaiting students. The UBC location is their first in Vancouver and third overall in Metro Vancouver with other locations in Aberdeen Centre in Richmond and also at Ambleside in West Vancouver.

Why did they choose this new location? “This is a new development area with growth potential and also the close proximity to the campus provides students the convenience to enjoy a full meal before or after class,” says Chef Hung UBC manager Andy. This year Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle won the prestigious award from Vancouver Magazine for the Best Noodle House. Along with this acclaimed recognition, Chef Hung has won numerous individual awards in his native country Taiwan and in China as well. As a result of these awards Chef Hung’s name is well established in both China and Taiwan for its excellence in beef noodles. This means with so many Chinese and Taiwanese students from abroad studying at UBC, Chef Hung is already a popular choice at the campus.

Andy reveals a potential location for their next Chef Hung restaurant if they do expand. “If we do expand then the Metrotown area is where we want explore because we don’t have a location in Burnaby yet!”

So what is the secret behind Chef Hung’s award winning beef noodles? Chef Hung’s secret recipe along with a flavourful soup broth that does not contain MSG and the best local beef yield the perfect beef noodle regarded by many as the best in town.

Their top four signature dishes include:

Champion Beef Shank with Noodle in Soup

Champion Beef Brisket with Noodle in Clear Soup

Champion Braised Beef with Noodle in Tomato Soup

Award-Winning Beef Shank, Tendon & Tripe with Noodle in Soup

For those feeling adventurous, you can adjust the level of spiciness in the beef noodle to suit your preference in mildness. You can also select from different types of noodles including flat noodle, thin noodle, rice noodle and vermicelli. Aside from beef noodles, Chef Hung restaurants also serve many popular small dishes, snacks and bubble tea (for a full menu, click here).

Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle, winner of this year's Vancouver Restaurant Awards for best noodle house, will open up its first Vancouver location at UBC this fall. This will be the third Lower Mainland location and second grand opening within a year. Just last November, the grand opening of the West Vancouver restaurant took place, much to the delight of beef noodle enthusiasts in the area. Originating from Taiwan, Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle made its North American debut with a location at Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. The award-winning signature beef noodle formula has since expanded to the USA and Mainland China.

Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle UBC will be located at the Wesbrook Village right across from Save on Foods.

源自台灣的洪師父牛肉麵首次亮相位於列冶文的時代坊。屢獲殊榮的招牌牛肉麵配方已經擴展到美國和中國內地。而今年秋天，榮獲今年Vancouver Magazine「最佳麵館獎」的他們亦即將在UBC經營第一間在溫哥華的分店。這將會是第三間在低陸平原開幕的洪師父牛肉麵，亦是一年內第二次盛大的開幕。去年11月，在西溫開幕的分店，已為該區牛肉麵愛好者帶來一大喜悅。

在UBC的新店將會開設在SAVE ON FOODS對面的Wesbrook Village。
