Mian Bafang Shanghai-style Mixed Noodles

Weihai Local Restaurant Recommendation

---

Where are we off to on Eunsusu's latest travel adventure?

While searching for delicious restaurants in Weihai city center,

I discovered a local noodle house called Mian Bafang

through Dazhong Dianping and Gaode Maps, and I paid them a visit.

I ordered two bowls of Shanghai-style mixed noodles,

and both the taste and quantity were so satisfying that I've compiled everything from its location information

to an honest review.

Within walking distance north of the noodle house,

Huanqiu Park and the Gate of Happiness are located side by side.

A bit further south, you'll find Weihai Park with its frame sculpture, and a little further down,

the path continues to Hanlerfang (Koreatown) and Huaxiacheng.

If you use Mian Bafang as a reference point to plan your route,

you can easily put together a perfect half-day itinerary for Weihai city center.

(Please note it's a bit far to walk, so we recommend using Didi Taxi.)

2. Restaurant Atmosphere + How to Order

I thought it was on the first floor, but when I entered,

the restaurant was actually located in a semi-basement.

You could also enjoy Xiaocai (小菜) side dishes

for 8 CNY per plate.

Overall, the tableware was kept very clean.

The restaurant was quite spacious, actually.

It was reassuring to see how clean everything was.

They even had high chairs available for infants.

You can order via the QR code on the table, but

when I stood up to check out the beverage fridge,

there was a staff member at the counter, so I placed my order there.

Before visiting the restaurant, I had already decided on my order

based on the menu images I saw on Dazhong Dianping.

When choosing a menu item, you can select the spice level.

The staff member was incredibly kind, even using a translator to write in Korean

to ask me about it.

​

I ordered it extra spicy.

⭐ Honestly, a tip: if you order it spicy,

it gets *really* spicy, so I recommend choosing a milder

spice level.

3. Review of Shanghai-style Mixed Noodles

Menu Item Name	Price	Flavor Profile
Shrimp and Beef Bibim-myeon (虾仁牛肉拌面)	25 yuan	Tastes like Jajangmyeon with beef and shrimp
Kidney and Large Intestine Bibim-myeon (腰花大肠拌面)	25 yuan	Tastes like Jajangmyeon with intestines and kidney

We ordered two dishes that day.

Even though it was the same noodle shop, the flavor profiles were completely different,

making it fun to compare them as we ate.

⭐ Here's what they looked and felt like:

Both dishes had that perfectly appetizing

Jajangmyeon look.

With shrimp, beef, intestines, and kidney noodles,

plus large pieces of peas, bell peppers, and onions,

it really reminded us of Jaengban Jajangmyeon (Jajangmyeon served on a platter).

The noodles were bouncy and chewy,

and the sauce was on the thinner side, not too thick,

which made it much easier to mix.

There was also plenty of minced garlic,

giving it a surprisingly strong garlic aroma.

⭐ And here's how they tasted:

The Shrimp and Beef Bibim-myeon (虾仁牛肉拌面)

was very close to the familiar taste of beef and shrimp Jajangmyeon.

As for the Kidney and Intestine Bibim-myeon (腰花猪肝拌面), it had a rich flavor,

as if I was eating Jajangmyeon with intestines and kidney.

(I personally didn't detect any gamey odor.)

However, the chili peppers were much spicier than expected.

Biting into them would send you to another dimension,

so we picked out the peppers and ate the rest.

Even so, the overall taste wasn't unfamiliar,

and it actually felt closer to Korean Jajangmyeon

than to Beijing-style Jajangmyeon.

As we were finishing up and about to leave, the owner came over

and suddenly gave us a cat keyring as a gift!

It was a delightful meal right to the very end.

4. Recommended For:

Those craving familiar, non-overpowering flavors:

The Shrimp and Beef Bibim-myeon (虾仁牛肉拌面) is closer to the taste of beef and shrimp Jajangmyeon,

so you can enjoy it without hesitation.

Those who want to explore nearby attractions:

From Huancuilou Park to Xingfu Gate and Weihai Park,

Mianfafang is a great starting point for planning your itinerary.

Those looking for a local Weihai gem:

Combining Mianfafang's Shanghai-style bibim-myeon with nearby attractions

will make for an excellent travel course.
