An excellent introduction to Cinese dumplings!

Within a few blocks of walking in the Richmond-Brighouse neighborhood, this tour visits three restaurants that showcase the dumplings and other cusine of three different regions of China. The food at each location was excellent with generous portions of multiple dishes. Our guide, David, was knowledgable and personanle, and did an excellent job explaining the significant aspects of each cuisine. We heartily recommend this tour for anyone that enjoys eating!
