本草源 (Běn Cǎo Yuán) is a contemporary Chinese restaurant that blends time-honored herbal culinary traditions with modern flavors and kitchen techniques to nourish body and palate. Guided by the philosophy “Běn cǎo zhī běn, jiàn kāng zhī yuán,” we craft seasonal menus using carefully selected medicinal herbs, locally sourced produce, and slow-simmered broths that highlight restorative taste and measurable wellbeing. Guests come for memorable meals and leave with a sense of balance — where taste, tradition, and health meet.

At 本草源 we honor authenticity, stewardship, and care: authenticity in preserving the wisdom of Chinese herbal cuisine without resorting to cliché; stewardship in sourcing ingredients responsibly and transparently to protect both local farmers and culinary heritage; and care in every interaction, from the precision of our recipes to the warmth of our service, so diners feel understood, supported, and restored. These values guide our menu development, staff training, and partnerships—ensuring every decision reinforces the restaurant’s role as a thoughtful steward of flavor and health.
