San Francisco Chinatown Tour gastronomique

It was easy to find the group at the starting point. Catherine made a point of making everyone feel welcome. Made a quick trip to a fortune cookie manufacturer and had a tasty sample, still warm from the oven. Next stopped for dumplings that were large and fresh. After that we had Cantonese Duck (differentiated from Peking Duck) and pork belly. Catherine picked up some pork buns and then we hiked up a steep hill to find a spot in a park to eat them. Not sure the park was worth the hike as we perched on a raised part of a piece of playground equipment. But there was a slide that several members of our group tried out. Then we were off to have delicious fried chicken and noodles. This stop was the highlight food wise. Ended the tour at a lovely tea shop where the proprietor’s son did a superb job of preparing multiple types of tea for us to try. Most of us purchased tea, but there was no pressure to do so. Catherine provided a very fresh custard tart, still warm from the oven. The group gelled beautifully and were exchanging contact info at the end. Wonderful way to celebrate Father’s Day!

As someone who’s visited SF Chinatown throughout my life, there’s always something new to discover and this tour was a fantastic way to do that. Sure, I could have gone to the restaurants on the itinerary myself, but nothing beats learning the history and what makes this place special with a group of fun people while eating yummy food. Shoutout to my tour guide Kenric, who did an amazing job bringing these stories to life!

Our tour guide Ted was fantastic! The historical information was so engaging. The food was amazing! I didn't expect such large portions and the option to take home if you couldn't finish everything. Can't recommend this tour enough - especially if you get Ted as your tour guide!

Michael was fantastic! He brought us to places we wouldn't normally go and showed us manybl hole-in-the-wall spots. We loved the entire tour and the food was amazing. We would definitely do it again and do another sidewalk tour.

Kenric was an amazing tour guide and paced the tour really well with stops at places we would have never found on our own. This was a truly enjoyable way to navigate this historical part of the city with my partner and 14 yr old daughter

Mr Wong was an excellent tour guide. We loved the restaurants and food choices. Really enjoyed learning about the history and culture throughout the day.

More than food but a great historical tour of Chinatown. Ted was awesome, knowledgeable and humorous. Every stop was well coordinated and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Lots of history and storytelling through food! There are 5 stops, with a few interesting detours along the way.

Kenric was a phenomenal tour guide on our trip through San Francisco’s China town. His knowledge and personal perspective during the tour was a welcome addition and a highly recommended experience when visiting SF. 10/10

Our guide, Jinny, was terrific! She has an impressive knowledge of SF history, food and culture, and we really enjoyed touring Chinatown with her and our group. We ate at delicious restaurants that we never would have found on our own. It was a fun and interesting way to spend the morning, and I recommend checking it out!
