Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang)

You will meet at an easy-to-find central location and then wind your way through the narrow streets and alleys by tuktuk within the Xi’an City Wall to find the best food in the city. We’ll take you places where only locals go. You’ll cover a lot of ground and get off the beaten path to family-run restaurants that you (and other tourists) won’t find on your own. Between food stops, you’ll be able to chat with your English-speaking guide about the city while drinking unlimited chilled beer and soda during the ride.

Admission Not Applicable

Muslim Quarter

While visiting our 4-5 food stops, you will get to learn about the families that have been making their specialties for generations. You’ll watch your food being made and learn about what makes it so special to Xian locals. Whether it’s sitting by an old man grilling meat over coals in a quaint Muslim Quarter alleyway, or watching noodles hand-pulled to order, there is something to try for everyone. The tour will finish at the only local brewery in Xian where you can tour the facility and sample what’s on tap before we treat you to a pint of your choice.

The evening food tour with Buren in Xi’an was absolutely incredible! 🌙✨ We wandered through the city’s lively streets, stopping at several local restaurants and hidden spots to taste authentic dishes bursting with flavor — from Bian Bian noodles and dumplings to savory meat skewers 🍜🥟 What made it truly special was how Buren brought every bite to life with fascinating stories — not only about the history behind each dish, but also about the people and traditions that shaped Xi’an’s unique food culture. His passion and knowledge made every stop unforgettable. It wasn’t just a food tour — it was a journey through centuries of Chinese culinary heritage, and honestly, one of the best memories of my entire trip around China. ❤️
Great food with interesting stories of this great city

It was fascinating to hear about the history and culture of this wonderful city. The food was amazing, and the entire experience was very well organized and thoughtfully planned. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves good food and history!

Tour Guide: Amber. This was our third food tour with Lost Plate for this trip so we got much better at pacing ourselves during the routes. We went on a tuktuk for this tour and it made it easy to get around the city. All of the food was delicious and it was possible to eat a reasonable amount of the delicious food without being too full. Amber was really knowledgeable about the city and provided great recommendations.
Great night out

Can't recommend this tour enough, our guide Buren catered to everyone’s dietary requirements and made sure that everyone left happy (and full) Buren introduced us to new foods and new parts of Xi'an which I visited later on in my trip. Perfect for couples and solo travellers alike

Had an amazing time. I 10/10 recommend signing up with Buren. He was incredibly passionate about Xi’An food and made a strong effort to ensure everyone felt included and that people were enjoying the food. He was also very kind in allowing me to ask for multiple food recommendations the remainder of my time in Xi’An. Don’t miss this opportunity.

A great evening trying a good variety of different local dishes with Amber. Amber was a great guide. The tour was well organised and the food at the stops were great. A good was to go a bit off the main tourist paths of Xi’ans Muslim Quarter.
Good Fun

Buren was a fantastic guide! We went to the hidden alleys of the Muslim quarters. Each of the stops food was mouthwatering delicious! During the tour, Buren mentioned that if there was something that caught our eyes or if we wanted to try to let him know. Buren was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and food. Definitely add this tour to your itinerary!

Buren was an absolutely incredible guide for the Lost Plates tour in Xi’an! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendliness brought the city and its food to life. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and the dishes we tried were nothing short of amazing – truly some of the best food I’ve ever had. Buren’s passion for sharing Xi’an’s culture and cuisine really shines through, and he made everyone in the group feel welcome and engaged. If you’re considering this tour, do yourself a favor and go with Buren – you won’t regret it!
