This no-frills noodle shack is one of numerous noodle joints on and around the non-signposted lane Yunzhou Jie (云舟街), out the back of Tai Shan International Youth Hostel. As with all of them, there's no English menu, but tasty offerings include hóngshāo niúròu miàn (红烧牛肉面, braised beef noodles), dāo xiāo miàn (刀削面, knife-sliced noodles with pork) and chǎo miàn (炒面, vegetable fried noodles).
