    Authentic, Delicious, Family Friendly Food Tour
    Stephen_W, Mar 2024
    Sierra was our tour guide and doesn’t almost 6 hours giving our family of 5 (3 kids at ages 9,12, and 14) a unique, tasty experience. My kids were sad it was finished. We love Asian food and tasted both new types of food and some of our favorites. There was a perfect amount of waking and sitting throughout the day and Sierra accommodated whatever we needed. Their knowledge and expertise of both the cuisine and culture of China, Taiwan, and Flushimg itself was amazing. We would do this again.

    Can't recommend enough

    Incredible tour. Esneider was fun, warm, funny, interesting, intelligent and above all, he knew New York and he knew food. Great combination of history and food. We got to try well over a dozen things, typically with everyone sharing to better try everything out. A mix of savoury and sweet, familiar dishes better than I've ever tasted them and new ones I hope to try again. Didn't need to eat anything else all day. Can't recommend enough
    Great way to eat your way through Chinatown

    Culinary Backstreet Asia in Queens (Flushing) Food Tour
    Marian_O, Jun 2023
    This was a well coordinated tour by Culinary Backstreet. Sierra was informative, moves at a good pace, with great choices of foods while touring the area of Flushing in ~6 hours. There were Chinese dumplings, breads, Portuguese egg tarts, various thin and rice noodle dishes, wonderful veggie dishes, Korean sushi, soup, sausages, and spicy rice cakes, with drinks including boba, coffee, tea, and water and desserts. We visited 2 food courts & a large Asian grocery store with a great variety of Asian foods. Plenty of food, so do pace yourself. Also, plenty of pit stop as needed. We got a great history lesson on Flushing throughout the 6 hours. A must go Asian food tour you will not forget!
