I liked that this tour did not try to cram in little Italy and Chinatown into one tour. Chad was knowledgeable about the history of Chinatown and took us to three tastings. The first stop had the best baked char siu bao I’ve ever had. The last stop was a good sized slice of a stuffed pancake which was really tasty.

The whole family had a great time on the tour and learned a lot from Chad! He was knowledgeable and very personable! Food was delicious!

We were after a more unique New York experience and got it. Chris was very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about Chinatown as far as history and the culture that is specific just to this district. We had our 3 teenage kids who us who were tricked into learning on their Spring Break and did not even mind! The food was great, we went back to get more pork buns after the tour was over!

Spectacular!!! We loved spending the day with Chad! The food we tasted was phenomenal and the commentary provided was enlightening. A must-do when visiting the city. Wish we could shop at the fish market every day!

Chad was wonderful! My boyfriend & I ended up being the only ones on the tour- therefore it became a private one for us. He was informative, enthusiastic, passionate about the knowledge of Chinatown & as a chef- he knew where the good spots are for the hidden gems. Highly recommend for anyone- whether this is your first time visiting the city or your 100th time.

My boyfriend and I had the best time with Chad! I booked this tour as a Christmas present and it was perfect. Even though we live in NYC, Chinatown is an area we hadn't explored much yet. Chad gave us the ideal introduction! We tried all kinds of unique foods and saw a new view of the area, with historical background to boot. I feel more confident about trying new places in Chinatown now, especially with Chad's list of recommendations (one of which I've since booked as a surprise birthday dinner for my boyfriend). I would recommend this tour to single travelers, couples looking for new places to eat, and families who want to explore a new neighborhood. Locals and tourists alike will get something valuable out of this!

This tour was absolutely awesome! Chad selected varied and unique dishes across Chinatown and told a lot of interesting stories and histories as we walked. He clearly put so much thought into selecting restaurants and dishes that were the most freshly and authentically prepared. The stop at the neighborhood supermarket was also really interesting. I loved it all so much that I took photos of each restaurant and ended up taking my friends around to the same stops on my next NYC visit (though Chad’s stories of Chinatown were sorely missed!)

Chad was very knowledgeable about the area, its history and most importantly its food! We really enjoyed this tour and learned a lot! The food stops were fabulous as well!

We went on this food tour with Chad last year, and we loved it! The way Chad weaves in Chinatown history with the food and culture shows how much he knows about and loves Chinatown. His background as a chef made him the perfect tour guide to eat dumplings, buns, and skewers with. I'd been to New York's Chinatown multiple times in the past and never learned as much as I did on this tour. Compared to food tours I've done internationally, this one stands out. Chad makes for a fun, upbeat, well-versed guide to this gem of a neighborhood! Do yourself a favor and book a tour if you're going to NYC - we will likely be repeat customers :)

The tour with Chad really felt like going around the neighborhood with a good old friend that you would visit in New York. We had a lot of laughs and went into those secret spots which we normally would not have gone into, just due to lack of knowledge. There we had amazing food and learned so much about Chinatown and the food.
