A Flavorful Introduction to Xi'an Morning Food Tour - We had a fantastic time on our morning food tour! It was the perfect introduction to Xi'an's food scene and checked all the boxes for what we were hoping to experience on our first day there. Our guide, Buren, was knowledgeable and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere for everyone on the tour.

A great sampler of Xi’an food culture - I’ve done several Lost Plate tours and they have all been great, but I thought the one led by Buren was especially fantastic. It’s really clear that he is a real foodie (not just a job) and he was fantastic at explaining the food, answering questions, and making additional recommendations to pursue on my own. The tour gave me the confidence I needed to explore food in farther flung parts of the city. I couldn’t recommend Lost Plate more!

Incredible foodie experience in Xi'an with Buren - We had an amazing time eating our way through the Muslim Quarter with our expert foodie guide, Buren. Buren took us to 5 different spots where we sampled everything from the famous beef pancakes to homemade dumplings. He had a lot of fun stories and history to share with us and the food was absolutely incredible. He was very communicative and messaged us before the tour to check if we had any food allergies or restrictions, as well as asking if there were any specific foods we were interested in trying (there were, and we got to try them on the tour). He even went above and beyond after the tour by helping us with some recommendations for local breweries so we could explore the craft beer scene on our own. If we're ever in Xi'an again we will definitely do another tour with Buren. Thank you!

Best of Xi'an food! - I cannot recommend this tour company enough. This was our second food tour with them and we were still blown away by the food choices, hospitality and all-around experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the beef pancakes and walked away feeling quite satisfied. Special thanks to our guide, Buren!

Super fun breakfast tour with some insight into daily life in xi’an - My husband and I have been on two lost plate food tours before this and always love the experience. Our guide was Buren who was the absolute best, made sure to check in with us the day before and continued to offer us recommendations after the tour at our request. I can tell when I’m in the company of a proper foodie and he really knows his stuff! The food was fantastic and the tour was well paced. Buren checked in with us often to see if we wanted any additional snacks along the way and was a delight to talk to. Highlights for us were the soup with meatballs and the pancakes, but honestly each stop is unique and delicious!

Amazing Xi'an morning tour with Buren! - Buren was an absolutely awesome tour guide, who made the tour both informative and fun! We had a blast both trying the amazing authentic foods and seeing the variety of stalls at the market. Buren made the tour feel like a day with friends and we all enjoyed his insightful knowledge into Xi'an food and history.
Would highly recommend this tour, and after completing this and a Beijing night tour, I will definitely be looking into attending more tours with Lost Plate in the future!

Amazing experience if you're a foodie looking for authentic China - I have been on several Lost Plate Food tours all over China, but this one hands down, was my FAVE! Our tour guide Buren was amazing! He truly went above and beyond. Before the tour he texted me asking about my expectations and if I needed any suggestions of restaurants to try in town. His laid back personality made the tour felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. He's very knowledgeable about Chinese cuisine and explained what was special about each dish we tried. Going through the market, he let us try anything we wanted. Wonderful time! I wish I stayed in Xi'an longer just to get more of his recommendations of food to try!
