Bo Ren Tang: Traditional Chinese Medicine Shop Transformed into a Nourishing Chicken Soup Restaurant

📍Address: No. 27, Lane 300, Section 2, Ximen Road, West Central District, Tainan City 🕰️Business Hours: 12:00-20:30 👍🏻Highlights: Transformed from a traditional Chinese medicine shop, awarded the 2022 Bib Gourmand recommendation Located in the West Central District, Bo Ren Tang was originally a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Due to the declining demand for Chinese medicinal herbs in recent years, the shop gradually disappeared. After reforming and repositioning its business model, the century-old shop has been transformed into a medicinal soup restaurant. The store's decor is quaint and charming, especially the herb boxes on the walls and the plaques used as tabletops, which are particularly distinctive. We visited the store before closing time and quickly ordered a bowl of Four-Ingredient Medicinal Soup, noodles, and chrysanthemum tea. A friend, feeling overheated that day, consulted the staff on which drink to choose. The staff was very enthusiastic and provided many additional suggestions for improvement.
