VerdictJi'an's queue-worthy noodle stall with plump wontons, big portions and low prices
An old-school noodle stall in Qingfeng, Ji'an, known for plump wontons and springy noodles; the dry noodles come with plenty of sauce, minced pork and lard, and the sliced braised meats are popular too. Portions are large and prices low, but wontons often sell out early, so arrive at opening.
Review
Qingfeng Noodle Shop sits on Section 3 of Zhongshan Road in Qingfeng Village, Ji'an Township. It looks like a plain old-school noodle stall, yet locals and bloggers rank it among Hualien's most popular spots. Bunnyann lists it as a must in both its Ji'an and Shoufeng food guides, and Yam Travel's Hualien snack tour features it too; queues and shared tables are the norm.
Wontons and noodles are the signatures. Yam Travel recorded wonton and sliced pork noodles at NT$75 whether dry or in soup, and plates of pork liver or tongue at NT$50 each, with generous portions for the price. The noodles are flat and springy. The dry version comes with more sauce than you might expect, lightly seasoned and fragrant with minced pork and lard. Wontons are plump with a simple meaty filling, and the broth is not overly salty. The menu also lists rice-noodle soup, Qingfeng noodle soup and dry wontons, and the sliced braised meats are a favourite side.
Reviewers often say the shop looks unremarkable but every dish is good, with the chilli sauce singled out; many foreign visitors say it is worth the wait. The downsides are crowds at mealtimes, with half-hour waits not unusual and frequent table sharing, and wontons and popular braised items selling out, so latecomers may miss them. It is a traditional stall, so do not expect comfortable decor.
It opens roughly 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 7 p.m. Most sources say it closes Mondays and Tuesdays, though one blogger recorded Mondays only, so sources differ and checking ahead is wise. It is on Zhongshan Road heading from Ji'an towards Shoufeng, about ten-plus minutes' drive from Hualien City, with roadside parking nearby.
It suits anyone after cheap local noodles who does not mind queuing, and it makes an easy stop on the way south to Shoufeng or Liyu Lake. Order one bowl of wonton and sliced pork noodles per person, dry or soup, and share a plate or two of braised meats. If you want the wontons, aim to arrive at opening time.
