Put aside three hours for food decadence! This tour is dedicated to those who LOVE TO EAT, want to learn about Chinese food history, are “open minded” to try a variety of foods, and are ready for a rockin' good time. There are always surprises on this tour! Begin with a traditional Chinese breakfast, “what ARE Thousand Year Old eggs, and ‘jook?’” Share tea at one of the top tea shops in the heart of Chinatown, nibble on dim sum from a “hole-in-the-wall” (with a very clean kitchen!) on the street, as Shirley runs into the cafe and comes back out with trays filled with delicious steamed dumplings; visit food markets, it's all about food, cooking, and eating! Finish the morning off with a fabulous lunch that includes food Shirley talks about. To tease your palate, the Lunch (after all the 'tastings' beforehand) may include: Freshly-made Won Ton Dumplings or another Soup; Salt & Pepper Fresh Calamari; Stir-fried Sturgeon or other fresh fish of the day in Ginger and Yellow Chives; Steamed Salt Fish & Ground Pork, ... and — OK, sign up to get the rest!

  • $80 per person
  • For larger parties, Wok Wiz’s team of cooking experts help.

Reviews of the
Wok Wiz Daily Tour

Best Tour in San Francisco!!

Female, 50-59
“What a fabulous tour! Shirley Fong-Torres is an absolute delight! By walking through Chinatown and visiting the square, an art shop for a calligraphy lesson, a beautiful Buddist Temple with information on Buddism, a lovely tea shop to learn about tea and proper brewing plus tasting and finally an amazing dim sum lunch.....a perfect day in San Francisco! We went on several tours while on our vacation. Wok Wiz Tour was definitely our favorite.”

Excellent Wok Wiz Tour

Female, 50-59, Domestic Tourist(s)
“Our tour guide, Dorothy, was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I learned many fascinating tidbits about Chinatown, its history and the Chinese culture. The tour was just the right length (about two hours) and ended with a delicious dim sum lunch.”

Interesting and informative

Male, 60-69, Domestic Tourist(s), Family Without Children
“I saw things and learned things I probably would not have accomplished on my own. I took away more than if I had wandered around Chinatown on my own.”

Chinatown history and culture plus lunch

Male, 50-59, Domestic Tourist(s), Couple on a Date
“We greatly enjoyed our two-hour walk, which provided in-depth information on Chinatown history and culture. The culinary portion was less than we expected, but came in the form of an excellent eight-course dim sum lunch at the end.”

Our favorite tour during our SF stay

Female, 50-59, Combination Family With Children
“Loved the guide. She shared stories of growing up in the area as a 2nd generation Chinese. Tour subject matter was very interesting and the guide was easily able to communicate information to us despite the crowds. (Her voice carried and she faced us when she talked unlike many guides we have had.) The lunch had quite a variety and our kids ate things we didn't think they would touch.”
