Owen helped show us the true Chinese experience with foods we have never even heard of. As someone who has never been to flushing before it was great to have a tour and learn about the history and current day of both china and the city.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was such a pleasure walking you through Flushing and sharing both the food and the stories behind it. Discovering flavors and history you'd never encountered before is exactly the experience I hope to create — hearing that it resonated means the world. Thank you for choosing Flavors of Flushing, and I hope to welcome you back on your next visit to New York!
My hubby and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in Flushing Queens at Citi Field , and enjoyed this fabulous walking tour! The meet up was easy ( we stayed at Marco LaGuardia which was only within a few blocks of the meet up) , and our guide Owen was amazing! So knowledgeable! We enjoyed learning about the different culture , and sampling the authentic foods! There is ALOT of food so go hungry. I took it back to the hotel and enjoyed it the next day. I would definitely recommend !my hubby and I are planning a return trip!
Congratulations on your 40th anniversary — what an honor to be part of such a special celebration! It was truly my pleasure guiding you and your husband through Flushing's Chinatown, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the culture, the flavors, and even the leftovers the next day. That's exactly the kind of experience I hope to create. Welcome back to Flushing again.
We had an amazing experience. Owen was extremely knowledgeable and we had a ton of really delicious foods, many of which we likely would have missed without a guide. We highly recommend Owen
Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review! It was truly my pleasure guiding you through Flushing's food scene — knowing that you tried dishes you might have otherwise walked past is exactly why I created this tour. Recommendations from guests like you mean the world to me. I hope to welcome you back on another Flavors of Flushing adventure!
Owen gave a very informative tour of Flushing’s China Town. He was very prompt for pick up and I loved how he sent me an image of the meet up place and his picture. It made it so easy to find. The food was plentiful and so delicious. I went with my mom who is close to 80 and he was great waiting for us to walk between locations stopping frequently to point out interesting facts or places.i would highly recommend this tour. It was a great value for the money too.
thank you so much for this thoughtful review — it truly made my day! Walking Flushing with you and your mom was such a joy. Taking our time between stops meant we could soak in more of the neighborhood's stories, and I'm so glad the pre-tour photo helped make it easy to find me. Hope to welcome you both back to Flushing again soon!
Looking for a GREAT family activity? I highly recommend the Flavors of Flushing Chinatown walking food tour! We are a local family trying looking to explore more around NYC. The walking food tour was great afternoon learning about the interesting history of Flushing, trying authentic Asian food, learning more about the different regions of China. Everything we tried was DELICIOUS and the portions were large .. you will not leave hungry. Owen was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide who loves his neighborhood! A wonderful way to spend the day!
Thank you so much, Christin! It means a lot when a local family chooses to spend an afternoon exploring their own city with us — that's exactly the audience Flavors of Flushing was built for. So glad the regional Chinese food and the stories of the neighborhood landed the way they did. Flushing has real depth once you scratch the surface, and it was a joy to share it with your family. Come back hungry anytime!
Great food, very large portions. I was the only one on thet tour but Owen, the guide, does not cancel depending on group size.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — and for the kind words about the tour running with just you! We stand by every booking regardless of group size, because Flushing deserves to be shared even one guest at a time. It was a pleasure walking you through the neighborhood, and I'm glad the portions delivered! We'd love to welcome you back on your next visit.
This was an excellent tour, that gave us a rich experience in both history and cuisine. Our guide, Owen, did a terrific job of leading this tour and ensuring our enjoyment! Flushing, Queens is truly the real deal! It’s such an authentic cultural learning and eating experience. My daughter and I enjoyed it thoroughly and would highly recommend it. You won’t leave hungry! :)
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Guiding you and your daughter through Flushing was a real pleasure — you were both so engaged from the first stop. Flushing really is the "real deal," blending centuries of history with a food scene that keeps reinventing itself. And yes — no one leaves hungry on our watch! Please pass my warm regards to your daughter, and I'd love to welcome you back on your next visit.
This tour was amazing. I grew up in Flushing and wanted to see how much it had changed. I got that and so much more. Owen taught me the history I did not know. And the food! So delicious and so much food. I highly recommend this tour. The value is great and the guide was terrific.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — and for taking the time to write it. What made your visit especially meaningful to me was hearing that you grew up in Flushing. Every neighborhood keeps changing, and getting to walk through it together with someone who carries its earlier memories was a real gift for me as a guide. And of course — the food is the food. Nothing makes a guide happier than seeing guests genuinely full and happy at the end of the tour. Thank you again for the recommendation. If you ever want to bring friends or family to see more of "the new Flushing," you'll always be welcome back.
Owen taught us a lot about Flushing and all the cultures there. We learned about Chinese cuisine and street food. The dumplings, the rice noodles… everything was delicious! Would highly recommend this tour!
Cara, thank you so much for the wonderful review! It means a lot to hear the dumplings, rice noodles, and all the flavors of Flushing hit the spot. Sharing the stories behind these cultures and dishes is my favorite part of the tour — so glad you left with a full belly and a deeper love for this neighborhood. Hope to welcome you back for round two!
Owen taught us so much about Flushing and different Chinese cuisine and street food. All the food was delicious! Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for the kind words! Sharing Flushing's food and the culture behind it is my favorite part of the tour. So glad you enjoyed it — hope to see you back in New York someday!
