Tseng Meng Niu Taiwanese Beef Noodles Soup曾蒙牛台灣牛肉麵 in Portsmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Gave this place 3 tries amidst the high reviews. Think I’m done being patient and understanding if it’s just an off day with such a horrible attitude from the owner. Food was delicious. But the attitude from the male owner absolutely stings and will not stand. Condescending, confrontational, absolutely uncalled for troll-like to a polite customer who came in looking for dinner and had not expected the need to defend themselves in a pointless argument with a complete stranger. Very limited set menu and for the full menu you must scan a qr code in an area with bad signals. Restaurant does not provide WiFi for you to connect in order to take a look at their full menu, nor did they bother to print out a hard copy to show to customers. All in all, better to take your custom elsewhere if you want to avoid a confrontational stranger out of nowhere and end up leaving in a foul mood.

There's a rude and picky bloke in the restaurant. The opening hours are confusing. The owner reckons it's posh, but it's actually a low-end joint that's rude to customers and tries to boss them around. The smelly male owner has no clue, he pretends to be a high-end restaurant, he has many picky regulations on customers, and the business hours are chaotic. It is the first choice for people who want to be upset and waste money.

The place was short staffed but when the food came it was well worth the wait. The noodle dishes were authentic and absolutely delicious.

An outstanding Taiwanese food restaurant in Portsmouth! Highly recommended beef noodles and Hainan chicken rice, very soft texture with the beef and chicken, you will be amazed with the beef noodle soup with no doubt, definitely will come back again!

Excellent food. You must try! Extremely good value too

Fantastic food for such a tiny spot. Not many people will have tried this little spot due to its rustic appearance. GO THERE.

Very authentic and delicious Hong Kong food, super friendly staff as well. Would highly recommend!

Nice staff, good service, yummy food Will come again!

A small shop that makes food very carefully. The taste is delicious but not too strong. It feels like eating at home. Highly recommended, you must try the set menu or stir-fried dishes👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The price is very reasonable

There is a delicious set menu, and the side dishes are even more exquisite. Steamed fish and garlic vermicelli shrimp are both must-orders. They are made with care. It is a conscientious restaurant. The place is clean and the price is reasonable. The boss also offers group buying of dumplings.

Fantastic taiwanese beef noodles set, other HongKong style dishes are brilliant too..........

The inside is quite basic so bear this in mind. Food was very nice, I had the smashed cucumber, beef stew and iced coffee. Very authentic flavour. Beef was extremely soft and round noodles were great. I highly recommend and I hope they bring more dishes to the menue.

Small and quiet restaurant, but very good food. Small selection of dishes, but authentic Taiwanese fare with a home-cooked feel. Definitely recommended.

Beef noodle soup is good. Prices for the set meal is good, very affordable. There were only few options left when we went there. Hopefully you have more stock for the other options and that it will be served quicker next time 🙂

They do not open during the opening hour. I came today. Today is Thursday,

Great noodle…. Real Taiwanese taste. Food is of super good value as well…. Trying to find time to visit again and again. Try this and…. You won’t regret, for sure

Nice food, authentic Hong Kong style milk tea, super friendly boss, would definitely love to go again if we need travelling to Portsmouth :)

I’ve been meaning to eat at this unassuming little place for years. The food was fabulous and did not disappoint. The smashed cucumbers are worth the trip alone - it’s not often you grab the bowl and drink all the dressing. The soup base in my beef brisket was rich and unctuous, the shrimp dumplings were fabulous as was the chicken ho fun. Also, all the noodles are handmade and you get to choose which ones to have in your soup. The owner is a lovely man and the food excellent value. I can’t wait to go back. I’ve given 3 stars for atmosphere as it was very quiet….it was us and one other couple, we were eating quite early though, but who cares when the food is this good. Thank you Sir!

Delicious food with appropriate portion, high CP

Big portions, tasty food and they make you feel like home.

The long-lost taste of Taiwan👍🏻👍🏻

Recommend the braised beef noodles and salt and pepper squid. Hong Kong people must eat yellow shops.

Braised beef noodles are delicious! The dumplings are right! Crispy salted chicken juicy! Spicy wine snails need to see whether there is fate The most important thing is to pair it with Hong Kong-style milk tea

Fight for freedom. Stand with HK.🇭🇰 This is the best Taiwan noodles in Portsmouth!! Highly recommend to everyone :)

Perhaps the most authentic Taiwanese noodles you can find in the south of the country

Friendly boss, delicious beef brisket

Attentive owners, fantastic food, and great value for money. I wish we have a restaurant like this in our town. Will be visiting again if in Portsmouth again.

Delicious authentic homemade Asian food. Don't be put off by the decor, the food and service are incredible.

Nice food and services, especially the beef noodle soup

Food was great and service was excellent. We loved it ❤️

Excellent food. A treasure in Portsmouth. A small, family run restaurant with one of the best beef noodles I have had in a while. Fair and affordable price as well.

Tasty food very welcoming try the beef noodles!

Absolutely delicious! Owner was super friendly and helpful. The beef noodles are so delicious and so good

Very good taste. Hongkonger good job.

Definitely the best Taiwanese beef noodles I ever had in the UK. Five different type of noodles of your choice. The soup base was superb, NO msg added. Very reasonable price £11 including main+side+drink. Recommend to anyone who miss or would like to try the taste of HongKong or Taiwan!

The worst noodle place ever, there are plenty better restaurant in Portsmouth

When there are 5 kinds of noodles for you to choose from, you can tell this restaurant got hearts on its food. They also got 3 different flavors of the soup and we ordered one of each. They all taste unique with their own character, which is beyond our expectations. The Plum Juice Tomatoes as an appetizer is so refreshing that you could seldom find them in the UK. Family business worth to be supported while visiting Portsmouth (:

The most delicious Chinese foods that I've ever tasted in the UK so far.

Delicious food and friendly environment

It was absolutely fantastic. I lived in Asia and what you can find in this restaurant is just as good. And lovely owner.

Lovely family run noodle place. Great set value meal for dining in... the broth is very nice and good portion. If you keen for HK style cooking and drinks come visit them

Authentic, hearty, tasty Taiwanese beef noodle. Soup is full of flavor. Drinks and snacks are fantastic. You can see that staff are passionate about food and care about customers. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends!

Food is good but mostly waste of time. This is 3rd time in a row where i waste 20 minutes ordering and waiting for them to accept order on JustEat but they don't. WHY ARE YOU ONLINE THEN???? Why not just reject order straight away? I know you are open... so frustraiting, my 1 star review will stay. Dont order from here for delivery, waste of time. Food is good, do collection.

Very yummy Taiwan beef brisket noodle. And the Boss really nice.

Authentic beef noodle soup, its braised beef is perfectly done and the broth is with strong and rich flavour. The set menu is very reasonably priced (£11 with a noodle, snack and drink) and the quality is superb. Definitely a hidden gem in Portsmouth and mustn’t be missed!

I have been to there with my whole family today. So far this is the best Taiwanese beef noodle I have ever tasted. My 3.5 year old son has been urging for authentic beef noodle for a long time, and he can even finished the whole big bowl of noodle himself. The boss Mr Chan is very nice to introduce us around Portsmouth, his story and life in Uk. Very talkative! The food is very outstanding. Must reserve a meal there if visiting Portsmouth next time. 香港人加油！老細都加油！

I decided to try this out as it had such good ratings. The food was outstanding and definitely deserves 5 stars!

Highly recommended 😍😍 The 2nd time to eat in Lai😋Authentic Hong Kong taste

Excellent food. Taste like home.

Authentic Asian cuisine with great service!

Excellent hospitality and big portion of dishes. We, 3 adults, ordered 3 sets of meal and brought back 2 boxes of main dish 😁. Taste is really good. Small place but clean and tidy.

A very good place to have Taiwanese noodle and Hong Kong dishes!

Ordered from JustEat and honestly wish they were a restaurant considering that's how high quality the food is, haven't had Chinese food this good and authentic in the area in a long long time so I'm glad to see they're new and doing well, amazing food quality and portions too! keep up the great work :) really makes me feel back at home 👍

Truly original taste of Hong Kong! Highly recommend for everyone! Come on, Hong Kong people! Eat more salty crispy chicken🤣

Finally found the real Hong Kong flavor in Portsmouth! Endless aftertaste! Support conscience shops!

It was a really nice eat in experience. I ordered the popcorn chicken and the beef noodles and I love the food! Milk tea is a must try too!

Visited this restaurant recently, very authentic Hong Kong style food. The Sichuan style spicy beef shin is tasty and you will definitely love it. Deep fired beef shrank is crispy outside but tender inside, definitely one of the must try items. The pan fired gyoza tastes exactly the same as you eat in Hong Kong. Will visit again.

Wow! Rediscover the flavor of Hong Kong typhoon shelter😍😍super yummy! Come on Hong Kong people💪

Fresh cooked. Delicious and tasty foods. High recommend. 😋😋

It feels like home after a long absence, so delicious😋😋 From Hong Kong to Portsmouth, the spicy beef show is super good. Recommended for everyone to eat there, remember to book it.

Have looked everywhere for Authentic Haianese chicken in UK and this is as real as it gets. Also the Hong Kong styled milk tea was exactly like I remember working in Hong Kong. We had a popcorn chicken we shared which was also very tasty. Looking forwards to trying everything on the menu now! New favourite place.

Second-time visit within 3 days, this newly opened restaurant not just serves Taiwanese and Asian food, but also serves traditional (Authentic) Hong Kong-style food. They also have Traditional HK style Milk-Tea (with/without bubble). Their Taiwanese beef noodle soup, salt & pepper beef is a must-have and spicy stir-fried whelk. Friendly local businesses, with good prices and great service.

Newly opened restaurant that serves authentic asian food. Good price and good service. Must try the beef noodle soup and the spicy stir fried whelks. Support local businesses and give it a try!

Delicious freshly cooked and tasty noodles. Some of the best I can remember!

I had a braised beef noodle which was very yummy with generous portion of beef. Definitely worth visiting!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The owners were accomodating to our diatery requirements. If you like seafood (scallops, clams, prawns) that's the place to be. Prices are good and service is great. You will feel welcomed as we did.

Yummy food and super nice owners!! Fresh ingredients and the taste is very authentic. Will definitely come back again. Highly Recommend! (Ordered Taiwanese beef noodle and hai Nan chicken rice - delicious! Love the Hong Kong style milk tea !!)

Popcorn chicken good! Fried rice noodles is yummy!

Authentic Hong Kong taste, made by real Hong Konger

The braised beef noodles are really delicious! It’s really rare to be able to eat Taiwanese beef noodles in the UK. The black pepper razor clams are really delicious, juicy and fresh! This seasonal stir-fried squid is made with shredded vegetables and shrimp paste, which is really a Hong Kong flavor! Totally overjoyed! Braised beef brisket in soup with noodles is very delicious. It is great to taste this traditional Taiwan dish in the UK. Stir-fried Razor Clams with black bean sauce is excellent! Very juicy and fresh! Stir-fried vegetable with squid is using the watch spinach (which is the vegetable not easy to find in the UK) and the shrimp paste sauce. It is really the Hong Kong style! Really better than what I expected! I probably will go again!

Super nice, I love it! Salt and pepper chicken wings is a must to have. Nice people and superb service. Definitely will go back again ❤

Tasty food not the ordinary take away Chinese. You can have to dishes that you actually have in Hong Kong. They are running a set menu atm. I think deep fried chicken wings is very nice. Very nice ppl! Will go there again. The only thing is maybe they need a little heater in the shop. Cuz it’s a little bit too cold while you sit there for a while in this season.

Amazing authentic Tai Wan food. Highly recommended Popcorn Chicken Wings. The staff are very friendly and helpful specially the owner. I absolutely adore this place.

Really great service and amazing food! Looking forward to coming here more often :)
