Valerie was an amazing guide who shared her Chinese History knowledge and her own personal stories. The food was great and you can tell a lot of thought went in to the choices, excellent! I would definitely do this tour again and again. See you on Broadway Valerie!!

The tour looks pricy at first, but for dinner plus a tour it is amazing value. Alex, our tour guide, was so smart and willing to answer any questions. He was very personable and asked questions about people in the group, encouraging us to get to know one another which really added to the experience. He’s visited China twice, speaks a bit of Chinese, and was super knowledgeable about the subject matter. If you’re on the fence about booking, just do it! It was my first food tour and will definitely be doing more in the future. Also, as a vegetarian the meal options were very yummy and intentionally created. My husband has a shellfish allergy, and they were accommodating of him as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fantastic Chinatown food tour! We had an absolutely wonderful evening with York. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, but what really made this tour special was York himself. He is basically a walking encyclopedia! Whether it’s Chinatown, Chinese history and culture, Chicago’s architecture, art, or just the city in general, York seems to know something interesting about absolutely everything. And even better, he knows how to share all that knowledge in a fun, engaging, and easygoing way. We ate some great food, learned so much along the way, and simply had a really enjoyable evening. York’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and great company turned this from just a food tour into a fantastic experience. If you’re visiting Chicago and want to discover Chinatown while enjoying some delicious food and hearing great stories along the way, I can absolutely recommend this tour. And if you get York as your guide, you’re in for a treat. Definitely five stars!

Highlights

On this 3-hour food walking tour, visit 5 restaurants and bakeries in Chicago’s Chinatown with a guide and taste dishes from different regions of China. Enjoy handmade dim sum, freshly made noodles, dry chili chicken, cumin lamb flatbread and Portuguese-style egg tarts, with portions generous enough to make a full meal. Your guide handles the ordering and explains the ingredients and origins of each dish, while sharing the stories of Chinatown landmarks such as the Gateway Arch, the Nine Dragon Wall, the Zodiac Plaza and the Pui Tak Center, as well as the history of its immigrant community.

Program

Taste dishes from across China
at 5 local favorites

Meet your guide at Phoenix Restaurant to start the tour. Over 3 hours, stroll through Chicago’s Chinatown at a relaxed pace and stop at 5 carefully selected restaurants and bakeries. Your guide chooses the spots, orders the food and explains the ingredients and origins of each dish, so you can simply focus on the food and the stories. The tastings are generous enough to make a full lunch or dinner.

From dim sum to egg tarts,
sample Chinatown’s signature dishes

Taste handmade dim sum served with traditional Chinese tea, spicy and crispy dry chili chicken, Xi’an-style cumin lamb flatbread, and freshly made noodles soaked in a house-made sauce. Finish with a buttery Portuguese-style egg tart from Chinatown’s oldest bakery. At check-in, you can add a drink upgrade such as local Chinese beer, wine or boba tea, paid on site.

Explore Chinatown landmarks
like the Gateway Arch and Nine Dragon Wall

Pass under the Chinatown Gateway Arch, a symbol of welcome built by Chinese artisans in 1975, and explore Chinatown Square Plaza with its 12 Chinese zodiac statues. At the Nine Dragon Wall, a glazed-tile replica of the original in Beijing, learn about the mythical creatures that symbolize strength, luck and protection.

Visit the Pui Tak Center, built in 1928 and known for its pagoda-inspired towers and terracotta tiles. Hear how it once served as the cornerstone of the local immigrant support network and learn about the Chinatown community. The tour ends at Chiu Quon Bakery.
