Cheonghwawon is a Chinese restaurant specialising in Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup and Hong Kong-style dim sum. Cheonghwawon's signature knife-cut noodles are made from dough shaped in four stages and then rested for a day, and the broth is simmered from beef bones and vegetables. The beef shank on Cheonghwawon's beef knife-cut noodles is trimmed of fat by hand and then simmered in a special sauce for 4 hours.

Cheonghwawon uses no pre-cooked ingredients or ready-made products and cooks each order individually, so food at Cheonghwawon may take a while to arrive during busy hours.
