Had a great experience on this tour, would highly recommend. Our tour guide Bert was excellent, and did a wonderful job of putting everyone in the group at ease, letting us all connect and chat while also delivering the information on the tour. It was a relaxed pace with great food stops, I enjoyed all the dishes we tried, and it was a really good way to experience Chinatown.
3 sit-down INDOOR tastings included with Foods of NY Tours! Chinatown can definitely be intimidating, even for a native New Yorker! It’s a diverse neighborhood with historic landmarks, hidden side streets, delicious foods from all over Asia, and it’s home to one of the largest population of Chinese people in the western hemisphere. Join us as we share interesting stories, sights and delicious foods. Where to eat in Chinatown can be overwhelming, so this is where we come in! Enjoy 3 mouthwatering sit-down tastings: 5 types of dim sum, authentic Peking Duck prepared as if you were in Beijing, and Malaysian street food. The tour also includes a modern and traditional dessert, representing two sides of a changing neighborhood. Join us for a memorable journey that will leave you with a deep understanding of the flavors, history, and confidence to navigate Manhattan’s Chinatown! We visit 5 establishments, 3 of which we sit indoors with more tastings!

By far the best food tour I have been on. A native New Yorker that is pretty well acquainted with the city, I learned a host of new things about the area that I did not know Bert was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, very informative and sprinkled with little know anecdotes and quite pleasant throughout the tour. Food was delicious and a nice variety of Chinese cuisine. I have taken other Chinese food tours in NYC but this was the best.

Bert is a fantastic tour guide. He’s super informative about everything and anything that you may see along your food tour as well as the food you’re tasting. I like that when on the tour he’s well prepared for your arrival and then at each additional location.
Our group had a blast ! Thanks Bert for another amazing food tour.

This was my very first food tour. What a great way to enjoy culture and food of an area!! Walking with Bert was so much fun! He has a great sense of humor, too. I was so full by the end of the tour, but so happy! Thanks, Bert!
