The dim sum was amazing, as well as the Szechuan chicken, and finally the beef noodle bowl. Janine, our tour guide was a treasure who entertained us with the history of Chinatown while keeping us on schedule. We were there celebrating my besties birthday and the whole group sang to her. We left full and satisfied, a little more educated and feeling we had spent time with new friends! Highly recommend!

Great experience and I am rating this top notch since I discovered something new to love! I travel a lot and have taken food tours of Chinatowns in LA and NYC so delighted to find new things on a menu and appreciate the flavor as much as I enjoyed learning the history. And having Jeff as a guide was a perk since I've already been on tour with him before and knew from the first bite I was in good hands. Highly recommend!

What a fun afternoon exploring authentic neighborhood restaurants with some historynthrown in. Somehow our guide, Jeanine, knew everyone’s name within five minutes and made us feel like a cohesive group.

My husband and I took this tour for our anniversary and we cannot say enough good things about this food tour but especially about Lillian! (Hi Lillian's Mom!) Lillian is so kind, knowledgeable, and fun! There was never a dull moment on the tour. She shared so much information about the history of Chicago's Chinatown and the food we got to enjoy. She really took time to get to know each and everyone of us and by the end of the tour it didn't feel like something we paid to do, it felt like hanging out with friends. We can't recommend Lillian enough! If you have the chance to have her as your tour guide please take it! You won't regret it.

Amazing tour. Chicago Gandalf took us several of the best Chinese food spots in town. We had dim sum, szechuan food, Xian lamb burgers, Chinese style egg tarts, and beef noodle soup. Jeff did a great job explaining the history of the Chinese in the US and related it all back to the roots of Chinatown in Chicago. Highly recommend. P.s. see if you can place a side order of sichuan paocai (spicy pickles) at the second location. Delicious!

A wonderful experience. The food was delicious, it was nice to be able to sit down at each restaurant. The guide was friendly and informative about the history and food regions.

Ria was knowledgeable and was able to answer most all of my questions. He made a group of strangers feel comfortable with each other and we had a good time.
