A little “Dim Sum” and more - Jeff was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable about the Chinese culture and even took individual and group pictures and sent us the pictures. The food selection was great too. This is a must when visiting Chicago. You will not be disappointed.

Lillian gives a great tour! - Lillian did a great job with the tour. Very informative! Very considerate of people’s preferences and questions. I do want to get her a map of China so she doesn’t have to keep using her hand! Hahahaha. Just kidding.

Book it! - I was hopeful that we would eat delicious food, but I wasn't expecting the hospitality and care that our tour guide put into our tour. We had several dishes during the tour, but our guide also provided historical context about the origin of the foods, the origin of Chicago's Chinatown, the background of some of the artwork that was in the square, and even how to properly pour tea for a group. We had ten or more people in our group, including children, and everything was well-organized, orderly, and a lot of fun. I can tell that our tour guide loves his job, and I am very thankful for his (and all of the restaurant's) hospitality in having us. It's heart-warming to see the Bobby's and the various restaurants around town working together to bring people together and share cultures. The tour is great for anyone looking for an overall good time and good food. I would 100% go again on another trip to Chicago.

Unmissable Chicago Chinatown food tour - Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Chicago Chinatown is a must visit when visiting the city and easily accessible via the subway on the Red line. Jeff was an absolutely awesome host. Engaging, knowledgeable and a great, great host. The food was superb but what made the tour so special was Jeff. Done many food tours and cannot think of a better host. Bobbys bike tours are very fortunate to have such a great employee and his passion for Chinese cuisine was infectious. Great job
