Taiwan’s very own Mazendo, which was established in 2010 by Taiwanese Chef Sean Hsu, had its first-ever international branch in S Maison, Pasay City and has now expanded to include Capitol Commons in Pasig and Salcedo Village in Makati.

Now, the Taiwanese restaurant has been a favorite among many in Manila for its signature beef noodles that can be the best comfort food you’ve ever tasted in town.
The most popular and must-try, for example, is Mazendo’s Red Roast Beef Noodles which makes use of various Chinese herbs and spices, giving it aromatic and rich flavors. The homemade noodles are also slightly thinner and has a firmer texture than the Japanese udon noodles, making it appealing to the palate.
This dish is great for first-timers as beef noodles can be the best dish that represents Taiwanese cuisine.

If you want something that can literally fire you up, have a bowl of Noodles with Spicy Sauce. For dim sum lovers, a must-try is Boiled Dumplings in Sesame Sauce.

Mazendo can also be read in Taiwanese as “Ma Shan Tang” (literally translating to “Ma” food hall), but the restaurant has been branded as Mazendo to appeal more to the international market. “Ma” represents the restaurant’s two signature flavors, sesame and mala (a spicy and oily Chinese sauce).
While Taiwanese at heart, Mazendo has been designed not only to be enjoyed by Chinese diners but also to be appreciated by food lovers worldwide. The dishes are authentically Taiwanese, and the restaurant is a cozy and welcoming place for anyone who wishes to satisfy their cravings for good noodles.
