I've had all the best beef noodles in my recent trip to Taiwan. A&J and Darda are my favorite beef noodle joints in the bay area. I've tried ASJ a few times, but I don't feel their beef noodle is as good as A&J after the change of ownership. A&J has better quality of beef. If A&J could cut back on the soy sauce a little and filter out most of the grease, it would be hard to beat. LA's A&J is a better restaurant overall, but I don't remember if it's beef noodle is any better than the sister A&J here. I’m a self-claimed beef noodle expert.

I used to think that until I went for lunch there, twice, ordering the same Beef Noodle, and both times the noodles were soggy and the portion way too large. It certainly tasted very different than the other times I've been there, mostly for dinner. I think they are a bit inconsistent, and that may have to to with the cooks in the kitchen at lunch time or perhaps they're just too busy. One place you didn't mention here is 5A Cafe in Milbrae (at Lunardi's Mall). Very good, worth trying and reconsidered for your list. Thanks for your posts! I'm a regular reader.

I read your reviews of Beef Noodle King in the LA area with my mouth watering. Can't wait to make a trip down there to try it out. So do I!
