Emily_K, Oct 2025
This is the best food tour I’ve done in a long time. The dishes were delicious- mezzes, samosa-cha, and Chinese buns. A lovely departure from meat and potato UK dishes. Hadi’s energy was contagious, and he showed a genuine interest in our lives and cultures. There were only 5 of us on our tour, and it was the perfect size since navigating SOHO on a Saturday night is busy. Would recommend this 2.5 hours to anyone visiting London.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Emily! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Hadi—he’ll be delighted to hear you loved the food, energy, and personalized experience!
Liz_O, Oct 2025

Guide Cay was delightfully. We were running late but we were able to meet up with group . Text were quickly responded and informed us of location of group.
Nessa_S, Sep 2025
Lisa was a great tour guide! She was fun and engaging, providing great details about the food’s history as well as the locations, and provided us some unique photo ops. It was so convenient to just be presented with interesting bites and not getting overwhelmed trying to make the best choice.
I would especially recommend this tour early in your trip, as you’ll likely walk by other spots you want to try and you’ll feel like a pro coming back to these areas!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you, Nessa! 🌟 We’re so glad you had fun exploring Soho & Chinatown with Lisa—great food, stories, and photo ops! 📸🍴 Wonderful tip about doing the tour early in your trip too!
