Food Tour - Mission District Favorites

Lauren was extremely fun, personable, and knowledgeable about the city and local cuisine. She fielded all of the questions that we had and offered a constant flow of interesting facts. We would definitely take another tour with her!

Lauren was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable and caring! I would take her tour again!

Kacie knew the mission well, and we loved her smile and great enthusiasm. The tacos were especially good! Worth it for 3 hour walking tour.

Great tour! We couldn't have picked a more perfect start to our honeymoon. Casey was a fantastic and an informative host who clearly loves what she does. The food choices were spot-on and we loved learning more about the local history.

Fun experience !

Our guide was Casey Very knowledgeable friendly interesting and on top of that the food selections were great would definitely do it again

Casey did a great job thoroughly enjoyed it.

Casey was great and made the experience memorable! It was our first time and will definitely do it again.

Cassie was amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable and took care of the large group [13 of us] with ease. Would love to do more tours with Cassie

Our guide was fantastic, shared a lot of really interesting history about Chinatown and unique anecdotes about places/foods we tried. We loved our experience with Cozymeal - would highly recommend!

Kasey was an amazing! Loved his history lessons, plus his sense of humor. Of course the food was eye opening. So many scrumptious small bites. Completely recommend.

I thought it was great. A little history of the Chinese in SF, mixed with food I've never tried. Our guide did a great job keeping our group on track.

Marvin was a wonderful guide and very enthusiastic. He shared wonderful historical information about Chinatown. The tour overall was enjoyable. That said, when booking through Cozymeal no where does it say that this tour is actually in conjunction with other tours and other booking sites. I arrived at the meeting location thinking the tour was going to only be three people because that was the amount booked through Cozymeal. When I arrived I was shocked to find out it was 16 people and others had booked through Tripadvisor and AirBnB. In this day and age of COVID, I was very uncomfortable and felt like I had been mislead about the number guests on the tour. No vaccination status was checked and we were eating indoors with now a large group of people when I was expecting only 3. Transparency would have been much appreciated and then I would have been able to make a decision for myself about if I was comfortable to participate or not prior to showing up.

Marvin was great! We loved learning more about the history of dim sum and Chinatown!

Marvin was an excellent tour guide. We learned a lot and the food was delicious. However, we ate indoors at one restaurant, and while vaccinations are required for indoor dining in San Francisco, no one checked. Our group was 11 people, all seated together indoors, and neither the guide nor the restaurant checked to see if people could provide proof of vaccination.

Marvin was personable, knowledgeable and gave a well paced and delicious tour .

This was great tour. It was well planned so that e were easily able to walk the streets of the area early enough in the day that the streets were not crowded and we could easily see what was being described as well as hear our guide, Marvin, was great...both knowledgeable and funny. The food choices were varied and well prepared. The size of the group was just right, too. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to taste and see an important part of San Francisco.

We had a great experience on our Italian food tour and learned so much about the North Beach area of San Francisco!

Lauren was knowledgeable, smart, caring and gave us an unforgettable day!

Very fun experience!

Lauren was knowledgeable, entertaining, and attentive to our needs. The food was yummy and the 3.5 hours flew by. Come hungry, leave happy!

Lauren is a jewel. The tour was delicious, lots of tasty delights. I look forward to going back to the restaurants she introduced. The historical information Lauren shared was very interesting. It's a great tour and I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Lauren was awesome!!!

Lauren was very informative, interesting and accommodating. She gave a wonderful tour.

Better than you might expect, even after you get your hopes up. :)

Great guide, lots of fun, very knowledgeable!

Lauren was our guide through Chinatown and she did a wonderful job of showing us hidden culinary gems and regaling us with the history of Chinatown from the mid 19th century to present day. The tour ended with a tea tasting that was as interesting as it was relaxing. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour guide!

Great

Super energetic and knowledgeable guide

We ha such a great time! Our tour guide was so informative and fun! Thanks for a great date for my man and I !

Lauren was a great guide for this Chinatown food tour. She was knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating. The food choices were great and the history and culture she shared was fascinating.

Vanessa did a wonderful job, fun, interesting facts and so fun to understand the history of different establishments.

Best food tour we’ve ever been on.

The Chinatown Sidewalk Food Tour was a great experience! Our guide, Angela was friendly, bubbly, had great energy and was very knowledgeable of Chinatown, it's rich history and it's delightful food! We walked the bustling streets and infamous alleyways of Chinatown sampling flavorful treats like BBQ pork buns, onion cakes, pot-stickers, noodle dishes, congee soup, Peking duck, dim sum and egg tarts. Angela informed us of the Chinese philosophy of living in balance which reflected in the food-- a little savory, a little sweet, a LOT delicious! Even if you've been to San Francisco Chinatown before and have tasted some of the same dishes (as I have), this tour highlights many places that you may not have visited, as well as their versions of dishes that may be better than the ones you've tasted in the past (or at least a little different). I don't want to spoil anything but there were also a few unmentioned, surprise stops along the way that was equally fascinating and gives a deeper understanding of Chinatown and it's culture. A great time! Don't miss it!
