Warm your insides with hearty bowls of Taiwanese noodles. The prices rival other la mian dives, but fortunately, the ambiance hearkens to something a little more refined. Speedy service means it’s a great choice for a quick lunch while the laid back atmosphere makes this a great place to linger.

The taste is nothing close to authentic Taiwanese beef noodles but it's a good place to resolve homesick issues.
Brought my parents here and we all loved it. Chic atmosphere, and decent service for Shanghai. We all got different noodle bowls. Filling and tasty. I would go back!
Great tasting food, near my office and inexpensive. Deserves 5 stars!
It's pretty convenient and straight forward food. Good entry point for people who just arrived in China. Price used to be worthwhile, but they increased the prices and there didn't seem to be any good reason as the menu and portions stayed the same.
Have been eating there regularly over last few months, never dissatisfied - except for the regular SH issue of chain smoking fellow patrons.. One day those people will be expelled to the sidewalk and will loiter in shame. Ontopic - best noodles of their kind I've found thus far in SH, yes I have tried Bullfighter.
Quality has gone down in the past few months. Bull Noodle's meat is less and of lesser quality. Still like the place but think it's not as good as when they opened. Typical Shanghai.
For around 30RMB, it is not a bad deal for MSG free tasty food with a simple and modern atmosphere.
The selection of noodles is here rather limited compared to other restaurants specializing in noodles (e.g., Ajisen). But this is not to say that it was not enough to satisfy your taste buds.
The service here is neither great nor bad. It's very standard, with an English speaking wait staff.
It's a great place to go to when you are looking for a good environment.
For 28元, Bull Noodle offers one of the best bowls of braised beef noodle soup in town. While the portions are a bit smaller than in other places, the flavors do not compare. When ordering, you have a choice between three different kinds of noodles (hand pulled or hand sliced, in different widths). The broth is rich, without boasting too much oil. Served with roasted tomatoes for garnish, the soup will undoubtedly satiate anyone’s need for this Taiwanese classic. The best part of Bull Noodle’s food, though? No MSG.

The food is very mediocre, so much so that the price barely justifies the uninspiring soup, noodle, meat and side dishes. One visit is good enough.
nice decor. no comment on the service as it wasnt bad or good - just service. i tried the 3 noodle sampler thing. only one was good and the amount they gave was really disappointing. nothing really to write home about - but under 30 RMB, can you really complain? i also wish they had more stuff on the menu as i need more than noodles to fill up.
Clean modern decor. Prompt service. No MSG. Leagues above your usual noodle shop. The braised beef noodles is now 28 rmb but still a total steal. Enjoy a balanced meal with a veg side at a very reasonable 5 rmb each. Perfect for lunch.
Impossible to compare this place with your usual lamian canteen. Noodles there don't swim in an ocean of fat, waiters speak English, decor is simple, modern and classy. I definitely recommend the braised pork noodles. For RMB 18, it's an excellent value for your money. Oh, and they deliver until 11:30 pm.
I read about this restaurant in a 'city weekend' article some weeks ago and being opened by the same group that opened Shintori I had to go and check it out!. The menu is small so me and my friends just ordered one of everything off the menu. The large bowl of bull noodles came in a huge bowl, the noodles were big and chunky. The roasted beef noodles were pretty good and a favourite amongst our friends. All the other little nibbles Tofu, bean sprouts, plum juice were nice but nothing special. The dinner for 5 was less than 300 with beers and drinks. Worth a try, would go back for a cheap feed if I was in the area.
wow; u guys r pretty hard on what is a good-value restaurant; wityh good tasting food: different folk have different tastes i guess
Oh, and the curry beef noodle is 28RMB now, and comes in a broth. I don't know when they wrote the review above.
I've been here over half a dozen times in the past 2 weeks, each time returning just to try something new, JUST to see if anything was really any good. NOPE. I had read a bunch of articles on how their noodles were so good and etc etc, and I just wanted to give them chance after chance to impress me but they failed. If anyone's in this area, might as well go to the new taco joint around the corner called Cantina Agave. It's more expensive but it's 2x better than the food at Noodle Bull. Or better yet, just go to your local shit hole noodle spot across from your complex.
Bowl Full of Bull
It's tempting to make a joke about a bull in a China shop, but we'll resist the urge. After all, this Taiwanese noodle eatery deserves more than a pun. We found the atmosphere immediately appealing--simple, clean, understated. Coincidentally, so is the food. The concise menu has just enough choices to satisfy most appetites. We started with spongy slices of marinated tofu (RMB5) that were fairly nondescript but had a nice texture. On a whim we ordered the somewhat sour house plum juice (RMB10 per glass), a nice alternative to Coke and Qingdao. First time visitors should sample the Trios of Noodle (RMB36)--mini Jingdezhen bowls filled with a choice of three Noodle Bull dishes. While you'll get more food and a better price by ordering one of the noodle bowls outright, it is the best option for indecisive types. We tried the headline dish, Bull Noodle (RMB25 for the large serving, RMB20 for small), and found it to be hearty but lacking in flavor. Go for the roasted beef noodle (RMB28) instead. Its big chunks of meat and tomato broth will hit the spot on blustery Shanghai evenings. Also highly recommended are the braised pork noodle (RMB18) with crunchy sprouts and the curry beef noodle (RMB18) which has a thick, starchy sauce that could warm even "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell's heart. Noodle Bull gives greasy la mian dives a bull run for their money. --Georgia Sparling
