Thinking of gifting the Chinatown Food Tour—any tips?

I’m considering this Chinatown Food and Walking Tour for my sister's birthday. She loves trying new foods and has never been to Chinatown before! I heard they serve dim sum and Portuguese egg tarts, which sound amazing. What's a good time to go? And any must-try dishes I should know about?

Just did the Chinatown Food Tour—what an experience!

I went on the Chinatown Food Tour last weekend, and it was incredible! Our guide was super knowledgeable and took us to some hidden gems. The dumplings were delicious, but those Portuguese egg tarts stole the show! Perfect for anyone who loves food and culture. I totally recommend it as a gift.
