Owen was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable of the food and the area. Everything was delish!
Amazing food, super nice and knowledgeable tour guide, great time!! You get a looot of food so make sure you’re hungry
Owen was a fantastic guide! Our family realized we all had some free time on the Fourth of July. We scheduled the day prior and even though it was a hot day and other people in our group cancelled, he came out anyway and gave us a great time! He brought us to really great food spots that were certainly authentic and had a lot of history and interesting things to share with us. A++
One of the best food walking tours I’ve ever been on! Lots of local gems and Owen was very knowledgeable about Flushing’s history and Chinese cuisine/cultural history.
The selection of eateries is excellent. The guide, Owen, had great knowledge of the area and its history.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I'm thrilled you enjoyed both the eateries and the stories behind the neighborhood — that mix is what makes Flushing come alive. Hope to welcome you back on another tour someday!
This was our first visit to Flushing Chinatown. It would have been overwhelming without a guide to give us some history and explain the culinary experiences we were about to have. Owen was a knowledgeable and generous guide who organized our time very well so the food stops we made flowed easily. His love of Flushing and Chinese culinary history made this a very fun experience!
Thank you so much, Sandra! Flushing has so many layers — culinary, historical, cultural — and it means a lot to hear that the stories and the food landed well for you. Sharing this neighborhood with curious first-time visitors is one of my favorite things to do, so your kind words really mean the world. Can't wait to welcome you back for the next round of flavors!
This was a wonderful tour. Owen was great and we learned so much about the Flushing area and history.
Thank you so much, Cody! It was truly a joy guiding you through Flushing and sharing the stories behind one of NYC's most authentic Chinese neighborhoods. Hearing that you came away with a deeper appreciation for the area and its history is exactly what we hope for on every tour. We can't wait to welcome you back for more flavors next time you're in town!
Take the time to hop onto the subway to see the Flushing Chinatown! It was very easy from my hotel in Manhattan and Owen was a great guide who took me to stops that I would have never found on my own. His knowledge of history made the tour informative, and the snacks were very tasty!
Thank you so much, Jennifer! So glad the subway ride from Manhattan felt easy — Flushing really is closer than most visitors realize, and worth every stop. Those hidden snack spots are exactly what I love showing guests, and hearing that the history layer made it richer means a lot. Hope to welcome you back for another Flushing adventure soon!
BEST tour! As a born and bred New Yorker it was awesome to try and learn about new food. Plus the history!
Thank you so much, Becky! Hearing that from a born-and-bred New Yorker means the world — Flushing has so many stories worth telling, and I love when locals walk away seeing it through a fresh lens. The food + history combo is exactly what I aim for. Hope to welcome you back for another neighborhood walk soon!
