Our guide Surge was tremendous! He was friendly, engaging and full of information. The food was awesome. Would absolutely return to the restaurants on our own. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Surge made it such a memorable experience. It’s always our goal to introduce places you’ll want to come back to, so that means a lot. Hope to have you join us again soon!
The tour was great! Surge was extremely knowledgeable and paid attention to small details. He made sure that our daughter who has dietary restrictions was comfortable and content with the foods she was offered.
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Surge and noticed his attention to accommodate! It's our hope that everyone has a fantastic (and delicious) time on our tours and appreciate your kind words. We're always striving for that 5-star experience and would be interested to know what could have been improved to earn that 5th star. Please share any feedback to us if you are able to. Thanks again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Surg. He provided wonderful information, not only about the food and the restaurants, but the area and the history and cultural significance of the dishes.
Thank you so much for your great review! It's an honor being able to tour guests through our Chinatown neighborhood to explore its food scene and we're glad that you enjoyed the experience!
