Xiluodian Beef Soup

As a local from Tainan, I can confidently say that this is one of the best breakfast experiences I have ever had. The beef soup is cooked to perfection, featuring exceptionally tender meat in a clear and richly flavored broth. The braised pork with rice, offered as a complimentary side dish, pairs wonderfully with the beef soup. Additionally, I ordered the braised beef tripe and tendon, both of which were succulent and tender. This establishment is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Tainan.

This dish is told as a must-try food in Tainan, but it’s not really impressive (in my opinions only) The soup is quite plain. The sauce with ginger is indeed a star, it does help to enhance the taste. The most impressed factor of this shop is providing bilingual menus for different nationalities. As observed, they do have menu in Korean too.

Perfect meal for lunch. We’re very satisfied with with restaurant. Highly recommend for tourist. They also have english menu for tourist. You can ask the chef for this.

The beef soup was highly recommended by locals. I guess it's overhyped. The prices are jacked up because of its popularity (200NTD for soup and a tiny amount of rice). I liked it but was not really impressed. It is basically a rich beef bouillon with beef cuts in it. Service was awesome and super attentive. Keep up your standards. Clean and good food should be everyone's pleasure to enjoy.

Recommended by a local and it was so good! The beef was tender and the broth had a bit of the meaty taste to it. The service staff even taught us how to use the sauces to enjoy the meal better.

Ordered takeout back to the hotel as the dining in area was crowded. Bought a small portion of the mixed soup and a small portion of the stir-fried kailan with a free side of rice. The soup was really very good and definitely deserving of its Michelin bib. Kailan was nice too, but I personally liked the soup more. Was quite full from breakfast and considered not getting the free side of braised pork rice, but so glad I didn't do that. The braised pork rice was really good too, maybe even better than quite a number of stores which specialise in selling it.

I've had a few beef soups in Tainan, but this is one of the best you're likely to get. It's featured in the Michelin Guide for a reason because the soup is absolutely packed full of flavour. There is a suggestion to add ginger and sauce but on its own the broth has enough flavour, my suggestion is to try the soup first then add. The restaurant is usually a little far for me but I popped in on the way to the bus station, if you're in Tainan early in the morning it's a perfect location. There are also three sizes of soup, if you're hungry get a big. I got medium for 150 but regretted not getting big as it was so tasty.

Beef soup is a must try dish at Tainan and this place does it so well! I had the sesame oil beef and it was so good. 🤤
