    My first day in Tainan and definitely had to try this place out after seeing it featured on a YouTube video. They open to midnight to feed all the foodies and I can see why. This is one of the best things I've eaten in Taiwan ! The fresh eel is sliced and stir fried right before your eyes...鑊氣足夠!The high heat stir fry locks in the fresh sweet flavor of the slightly crunchy eel. The sauce is soysauce based with lots of complex umami richness. The chewy noodles are called 意麵not to be confused with 意大利麵…while the surroundings are not the cleanest it's full of atmosphere for people who appreciate these kinds of old diners. I tried heading over for another bowl before they open but there was already a long line...! Update: 2nd time I went I got one to eat two to take out ;)

    (Translated by Google) The taste is average, but the attitude of the clerk is very bad. If the business is good, you can do it like Qiu. There are other delicious eel spaghetti nearby, okay? If you want to eat, think twice, you will be full when you see the attitude of the staff. In contrast, the service attitude of the beef soup next to it is much better. (Original) 味道一般,但是店員態度極差,不是生意好就可以那麼邱吧,附近也有其他好吃的鱔魚意麵好嗎,白眼。想吃的各位三思,看到店員的態度就飽了。相比之下旁邊牛肉湯的服務態度好多了。

    We called to order take out during the pandemic on a Saturday evening but the restaurant was too busy to take our order. So we drove there and ordered two bowls of 冠軍乾炒鱔魚意麵. The menu said 120 TWD but we were informed that they increased the price to 130 TWD, which is still a fair price considering that the servings of eel are on the bigger side. There was a bit of a queue but the owners are super fast and we just had to wait for around 15 minutes. The eel noodles were excellent, slightly different from other places we tried before, with a hint of pepper. Worth the wait!

    I went there at 8+ in the evening on a Sunday and there was no queue. My friend ordered a dry half sweet and salty e-Mian eel noodles for me and it was super delicious. The people working there are super friendly and they looked so happy to be working there. I need to go back again! Eel noodles is definitely something special in Tainan

    Overrated, bland/overly seasoned and expensive. The usual characteristics of a tourist trap. Do visit at your own risk, as every batch of eels taste very different, depending on the mood of the cook. We had a very bland first batch, and an overly peppery second batch.

    First time ever having this dish at this easily located shop on a main road. The young lady taking my order was ever so polite. I guess it was just beggining to get busy but my plate of stir fried eel noodles come very quickly within 10 minutes. The wok hei of my supper here immediately reaches the back of my throat. I throughly enjoyed very mouthful of eel and noodle while watching the old man performing his magic in front of the hot wok.

    It my very first time to try Eel Noodles, and it's very GOOD! Local food in a very local stand - so don't expect good service quality or super clean and comfortable environment. Try to enjoy yourself in this very local city with local food and culture. :)

    (Translated by Google) Good business is arrogant. First forced to change seats Halfway through the meal, the boss came over and asked if the toilet paper on the table was for us? After that, we asked us to throw it into the trash can. It's weird. Why don't we collect the dishes and tableware by the way? If you don’t lose it, let’s put it down and stare at us. It is really uncomfortable. The environment is very messy and the whole body smells of oily smoke. But what? It's not a long queue, people who have more time can go. (Original) 生意好就是囂張。 首先先被迫換位子 用餐到一半老闆過來問桌上衛生紙是我們用的嗎?之後要求我們自己丟到垃圾桶,奇怪了,收盤子餐具為什麼不順便收?不丟還放下手邊盯我們有沒有丟,真的很另人不舒服的店,環境極髒亂,用餐全身油煙味。 但又怎樣,還不是大排長龍,時間多的人可以去。

    (Translated by Google) Let me say that taste is subjective, so I won’t comment on it. I have come to Tainan many times. I have eaten eel three times a day. I think there is a better choice than Ajiang. Just talk about the dining environment: the environment is messy, I think this is the basic requirement of the restaurant. In addition, the boss really smokes in front of the wok...very personality but not ok. Because cutting eel and taking eel are caught directly with your hands, and the sauce is poured by hand... It is hoped that the sanitary conditions will improve, otherwise there is no willingness to visit again. (Original) 先說味道是主觀的,因此不做評論。來台南也很多次,曾經一整天吃三頓鱔魚,我覺得阿江以外有更好的選擇。 只說用餐環境:環境是髒亂的,我想這是餐廳的基本要求。此外老闆真的會在炒鍋前抽煙...很有個性但不ok。因為切鱔魚、取鱔魚都是用手直接抓、倒醬料也是以手就醬料瓶口.... 期許衛生條件改善,否則沒有再造訪的意願。

  • 1/5 Anny C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I just waited in line for a long time, and it was almost there, when an old gentleman said that there are no eels, wait... What, did i hear it wrong I didn't count the quantity first, so I told everyone that there is no... Dumbfounded Don't even want to give a star (Original) 剛剛排隊排了老半天,都快排到了,才有一個老先生說鱔魚沒有了,等等....... 什麼,我有沒有聽錯 也沒有先盤點數量,就直接跟大家說沒有了.... 傻爆眼 連一顆星都不想給

    (Translated by Google) It was my first time to eat eel spaghetti. I was a little scared to see the eel when I was queuing next to it. ! (Original) 第一次吃鱔魚意麵,在旁邊排隊的時候看到鱔魚有點害怕🤣 ,不過端上來後發現真的很好吃!!

  • 3/5 Ling 2 years ago on Google
    Huge chunks of eel and noodles. They serve two types of noodles, one is dried, and the other is more soupy. Ordered the dried one and I pretty like it, just that it tastes too much black pepper. The service needs some work but that's fine as I'm here to eat. However, it's bad that the cook is off mask, smoking while cooking. Take cash only.

  • 1/5 Hsin-Yu L. 1 year ago on Google
    The overall experience was very chaotic and the wait was extremely long. the owner had no sense of first come first serve. Take out took longer than dine-in and they don’t provide no containers for take out. The food tasted okay but quite expensive compared to its value. Not worth your time.

  • 5/5 Vagary C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best 鱔魚意麵ever!! I love while it cooked a bit wet. So damn yummmm.

  • 5/5 Jessica G. 1 year ago on Google
    No matter how rude the boss is, hot bad the take out package is, the stir fried noodle with eel is so tasty, recommend!

  • 5/5 Gina WanTing C. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious and Tainan specialized eel noodles 鱔魚麵 served in a very traditional environment…I’ve never seen a restaurant like this in my whole life in Taiwan (in Taipei). I’ve only seen similar things in textbook or museum or just photos or stories described by my grandma 😂 Highly recommend getting the DRY version (乾的) of the eel noodles👌the food and the experience is worth it👍🏻The service isn’t bad, they’re just more direct cause they gotta focus on making the eel noodles 😊😆

  • 4/5 Calvin K. 1 year ago on Google
    First time having eel noodles but this wasn't as amazing as I was expecting, I may have been too hyped up for it. The dry noodles is the award winning dish but I preferred the soupy version much more! I recommend getting that one since it's cheaper anyway. Has nice smoky flavor and good fresh chewy eel to remind you of trampolines, fun to eat.

  • 5/5 Richard N. 6 months ago on Google
    The eel noodle is really good. The eel is really fresh. Both the dry and thick soup type are good. And it's very cheap. The shop owner are very nice and humble. If you are at Tainan, it's a must try. Open from 5pm to 12am.

  • 5/5 danny du p. 7 months ago on Google
    Super tasty local food. If you want to try something that you don't easily eat elsewhere, you've come to the right place. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We are glad we found this place and enjoyed the eel noodles

  • 5/5 Rtin B. 8 months ago on Google
    Really delicious eel cooked in 3 different options. Very nice staff. Very patient with foreigner tourists. Remember that A-Jiang Eel Noodles is located in the number 89 of that street. First, we went by mistake to number 91 and there is no fish. They serve only meat (good meat, by the way).

  • 4/5 HAN-SHENG L. 10 months ago on Google
    Very popular eel restaurant. Although we wait for 40mins in queue. However, it’s surprising good eel noodle. A must eat place in Tainan.

  • 5/5 Joei C. 5 months ago on Google
    Great food. Must try when you’re visiting Tainan!

  • 5/5 Mango B. 5 months ago on Google
    ⭐ Highly recommend!! If you like eel than this noodle dish will send you to heaven! The taste is a well balanced mix between smokey, salty, sweet and spicy. But don't worry it's not so spicy that your mouth is on fire, just a welcoming kick of flavor. We ordered 2 bowls of dry eel noodle which was 130TWD each. You get a lot of eel so this price was super reasonable! Sure, the bowls are a bit on the smaller side but if you're not satisfied, just order another one. We came to the shop on a Tuesday evening around 5:30PM there was a small que and we waited for about 15-20 min. It was interesting to see how the boss was making the dish as he's very skilled and has his process down! I've read a few reviews were people comment about the environment of the shop, but if you don't like it then don't eat there. It didn't bother me at all, as I believe it adds to the charm and the experience of eating here.

  • 3/5 Wai Peng C. 4 months ago on Google
    This place was mentioned in some blog post about nice eels in Tainan. I went and tried, the eel was ok. I will not return a second time due to hygiene issues, i.e. after observing the way the food is handled..

  • 5/5 Chris L. 5 months ago on Google
    First time reading eel that's wok fried. Very interesting texture, slightly crunchy and ever slimy. Very interesting

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 3 years ago on Google
    Go here for good food but not good service. If you're a heavy eater, it needs a bit more carbs or more noodle serving, but the eel is definitely generously served.

  • 5/5 Li-Pu C. 3 years ago on Google
    Too good to be True, a must visit for everyone if you’re in Tainan. It’s salty, sweet, and tasty, fish with noodles is just terrific

  • 5/5 Tifany L. 3 years ago on Google
    Waited more than an hour. Got generous amount of eel with 1:1 ratio with noodle

  • 5/5 Ion C. 6 years ago on Google
    Came here on thursday at 4:50pm and there was no wait. Think we were the first ones there. Got the eel with noodles dry version. There is a smoky peppery favor to it. It was quite good and flavorful. It might not be for everyone, but I quite enjoyed it!

  • 3/5 老萬小萬URfriend 3 years ago on Google
    lots of people go there and in the line. very traditional Tainan food but just try once, in general, too sweet for most of the people.

  • 3/5 Danny K. 6 years ago on Google
    Seats are right on the street even though it is an actual shop not a street stand. Lineup is long mainly due to the single cook making the meals. We had our seats for a good 30 minutes before our food arrived. Only get 1 chance to order, and will not be able to add to our order. Food was good but not quite worth the wait.

  • 4/5 Seraph H. 3 years ago on Google
    第一次吃到,乾炒 跟 勾芡的調味料不一樣的鱔魚意麵。乾炒的還有點鐵板燒的鼎鑊味!!雖然跟個人口味不是很搭,但是仍然值得排隊吃吃看喔~

  • 5/5 Chang B. 3 years ago on Google
    跟坊間的炒鱔魚風味不同,不像一般是酸酸甜甜的芡汁蓋過食材材本身的特色;鱔魚肉質軟嫩有Q勁,能感受調味上的古早味⋯座位不多七點多去要稍等一下,份量上男生點一碗可能稍嫌不夠

  • 4/5 盧卡斯 3 years ago on Google
