  Get ready to eat like a local in NYC’s most flavor-packed Chinatown—Flushing! This 3-hour walking tour takes you deep into the heart of Queens, where your guide leads you through buzzing food courts and tucked-away gems. You’ll kick things off at Eight Jane with a crispy jianbing—China’s answer to the breakfast burrito, hot off the griddle. Then it’s off to Old Luo Yang for chewy hot dry noodles and a roujiamo (think Chinese burger with serious street cred). At Grand Takeaway, dim sum classics like shrimp dumplings and pork buns steal the show. No.1 Super Snack serves up sizzling Fuzhou-style oyster pancakes that’ll make your taste buds dance. And finally, cool down with handcrafted bubble tea at Golden Mall—customizable, slurpable, and totally addictive. Includes all food, bottled water, and an English-speaking guide who knows every shortcut and secret menu. Small group, big flavor, and zero tourist traps. Come hungry—you’ll leave happy.
