Chinatown Culinary Walking Tour

Overview

There are two Chinatowns, one that you see from a van or bus, and the one that can only be experienced on foot in the back alleys, food markets, and local restaurants.

One Chinatown, the one from the bus, is interesting. Our Chinatown will surprise you with new adventures around every corner. In our Chinatown, artisans form Fortune Cookies by hand. In our Chinatown, artisans practice their craft in small alleys using techniques handed down for thousands of years. And in our Chinatown, the authentic cuisine will enliven your senses with new flavors, smells, and aromas.

We'll explore exotic and unique Asian produce, herbs, and teas from the very people who know them best. We'll uncover their hidden secrets only intrepid locals know. And you'll be astonished by the new finds in secret alcoves.

We'll spend about three hours eating everything from Dim Sum, fortune cookies, teas, and more.

My husband and I went on the Chinatown food tour this past week. Brian was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area, Chinese traditions and folklore. I have actually retold the story of how pot stickers got their name several times ! Although the food tastings were good I believe there is room for improvement- several of the tastings were quite “doughy” and sort of the same. I would definitely recommend this tour for visitors to San Francisco to learn about the Chinatown neighborhood

Had a great day with Brian walking around Chinatown and learning about Chinese history in San Francisco. He seemed to know all of the owners at the places we visited, which made it a personable experience. We even joked around a bit and had conversations. I would recommend this tour!

It was an amazing tour, we found so many hidden gems. The food was great, I would never have found these places on my own. I thought this tour was an excellent value.
