Our Xian Food Tour Reviews
THE BEST THING I DID IN CHINA
“The best thing I did in china, unforgettable and delicious. We went to fantastic little family-owned, local places to eat rather than all those tasteless tourist traps. The food was the best I’ve had in all of China in 3 weeks! Our guide was lovely, very friendly and full of information. I dream about the food! So delicious!”

YOU MUST BOOK THIS TOUR
“If you are visiting Xian and love food, you must book this tour. We had 2 seven year old children with us and the tuktuk ride was one of the highlights of their trip to China – it was crazy, hold your seat, fun. I love experiencing different foods and this would have to be the best possible way to do this. We would never have seen or experienced this side of Xian if we didn’t book this tour.”

WHY CHOOSE LOST PLATE
FOOD TOURS LED BY LOCALS
Only guides from each city can give you a real taste of the area, both in its food and its culture. We support the community and create authentic experiences by choosing local guides that will make you feel like you left the tour with a new friend. All our local guides are trained by our founders to ensure a perfect experience.
OFF THE BEATEN PATH
We visit local neighborhoods where real locals live and eat. You aren’t going to find any other tourists here. Our restaurants are locally owned and often specialize in only one dish, which means the quality is high and the flavor is even better. These places wouldn’t survive without regulars, that’s how you know it’s good.
AUTHENTIC FOOD & CRAFT BEER
You don’t need to worry about what or how to order, but you’ll learn about the families who own each shop and how they prepare each dish. All of our evening tours include unlimited beer during the tour and a stop at a local bar to sip some local craft beer or wine.
TUKTUK TRANSPORTATION
Our tours in Beijing, Chengdu and Xian use private tuktuks to get you away from the tourists, off the beaten path, to eat shoulder to shoulder with real locals. This means you’ll eat the best food in the city, not just one street!
