Review
Yi Ge Beef Soup sits at No. 574 Yunong Road in East District, not far from Tainan Spinning Mall. Supertaste says it has served the area for more than thirty years, and its defining trait is 24-hour service: fresh-cut beef soup is available at dawn, at lunch or in the middle of the night. It is one of the most talked-about beef soup shops in East District, with a review count near the top among Tainan beef soup shops.
The signature fresh-cut beef soup is NT$120 a bowl. Bloggers describe a full beef aroma, broth that is not overly salty and tender meat that is best dipped in sauce with ginger shreds. The broth is simmered from brisket, beef bones and vegetables for over eight hours and leans light and sweet. The menu is large, with Korean-style beef, beef stir-fried with Chinese broccoli, beef noodles, pork knuckle rice and fresh beef hot pot; the beef mince rice is praised as a great rice topping, and the broccoli in the stir-fry stays crisp.
Fans like that it is always open, the beef is fresh, the dining room is spacious and robot delivery is fun. Critics find the Korean-style beef portion small and the cold duck dish bland, and the self-serve black tea weak, with the winter melon tea more popular. It gets crowded at meal times and late at night, and sometimes only arcade seating outside is left.
You can order on paper, by QR code or at a kiosk. Drinks are self-serve and paid at the counter, ginger and sauces sit on the table, and each table has a small bottle of rice wine with free refills, so do not drive after drinking. A blogger notes that spending NT$500 earns a side-dish coupon for next time. On parking, one blogger says there is no dedicated lot while a media outlet mentions free parking nearby; sources differ, so check before you go.
Good for anyone craving hot soup late at night or wanting several beef dishes at once. First-timers can order fresh-cut beef soup with beef mince rice, and groups of two or three can add the broccoli beef or Korean-style beef. Visit outside meal times to avoid the crowd.
