We really enjoyed our guided tour of the market, street kitchens, a bakery and a couple of eateries off the beaten track. Our guide Byrne was very personable and knowledgable about the regional cuisine.

Tour Guide: Buren. We had heard Buren's name brought up by multiple of our previous tour guides as one of the best tour guides with Lost Plate and we see why. He was very kind and attentive, answering all sorts of questions, providing recommendations, and pointing things out all around the Muslim Quarter. The food was all very delicious and hands-down some our favorite food that we tried while in China. The combination of the delicious food and Buren's excellent care made this an absolutely fantastic tour!

This was a fantastic introduction to Xi’an generally, as well as its diverse food. Buren was a very personable and knowledgeable guide, and we really enjoyed our time with him, visiting long standing restaurants serving their authentic specialities. Easy to find meeting point. Highly recommend

Morning food tour led by Buren was fantastic. An excellent communicator with local knowledge of food and history. Sampled tasty dishes with unique flavors and textures, all prepared on the spot. A walk through the bustling market was also a major highlight.

Would highly recommend this food tour to anyone interested exploring Xian cuisine! My partner and I had an amazing time with Buren our guide who took us around the Muslim quarter and introduced us to snacks and dishes mostly locals would know. We left with my bellies feeling full and excitement to try more Xi’an dishes.

We loved this food tour and did both this one and the evening one in Xi'an. I definitely preferred the morning food tour for the different food options and quality, and particularly the guide Jane who was super friendly and helpful and so enthusiastic. It's a great introduction to Xi'an.
