Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Tan Ser Seng Herbal Soup is a long-standing institution, drawing a consistent crowd for its traditional Chinese herbal soups.

We see a strong consensus that the soups are the main draw, particularly the Nourishing Claypot Turtle Soup, which at $28 for a 'small' portion is described as generous and packed with ingredients.

Reviewers frequently highlight the 'Q' texture of the turtle skin and the balanced herbal flavour that isn't overpowering.

The accompanying chili sauce is also noted as an essential condiment.

Beyond the soups, the Aged Preserved Radish Omelette ($10) and Yam Rice ($1.60) receive high praise as satisfying and flavourful side dishes.

While the atmosphere is described as traditionally communal, it's clear the focus is on the food.

We think it's a solid choice for those seeking authentic, hearty herbal soups and traditional Chinese comfort food.

Worth a visit for the unique experience and generous portions, especially if you're in the mood for turtle soup.
