What’s the Authentic Asian Eats Tour?
The Best Chinese Food Outside of China
Home to dumpling shops, noodle stands, dim sum restaurants, Chinese bakeries, and the Vancouver International Airport, the city of Richmond is hailed by food lovers around the world as the place with the best Chinese food outside of China.
From Asian food courts to Hong Kong-style cafes, Chinese barbecue stalls to dim sum institutions, join us for a personal introduction to a food culture found nowhere else in North America!
TOTAL CULTURE IMMERSION
54% of Richmond’s population is Chinese – you’ll be totally immersed in the language, food, and cultural norms of an iconic and fascinating Canadian-Chinese community.
Signs, menus, and staff will all be Chinese, and we’ve got it covered. The foodies on our team who designed this tour have lived in Richmond for over 30 years! So, simply bring your appetite and get ready to discover a whole new world with us!
INSIDER ACCESS TO RICHMOND’S GEMS
This tour is for you if you’ve got a sense of adventure and a hunger for Chinese cuisine.
You’ll be off the beaten track from Vancouver’s typical tourist sites, eating delicious foods you may not know, in an area where you might stand out from the crowd.
If you love to experience a city through food, you’ll have a blast on our Foodie Tour! You have us as your key to Richmond – we can’t wait to show you around!
