The turtle soup here is very nice, the meat is very fresh and has a very nice texture, while the soup has a nice balance of the herbal taste. There is also 1 free refill for the soup which is a great addition to the service

Turtle soup comes in different sizes and prices. Because of the other 2 turtle soup shops run out of soup, we decided to try out this shop, which is at lower level. Surprisingly good 👍🏻. Price is lower than 2 shops upstairs! Rice options of white rice or yam rice, to eat with turtle soup. Recommended for people who loves this delicacies. …

The soup was superb. The meat was tender with little bones with it and the skin/shell was chewy.
