Learn how to cook classic Thai recipes in this cooking class in NYC!



2 hours Location Garment District Class size 1 to 10 (public classes), 16 to 30   $65 - $89 ($65 for Public Class; $89 for Private class)

Mentally escape to the streets of Thailand as we create one of the most famous Thai classics, Pad Thai! In this Thai cooking class in NYC, you can brush up on your culinary skills and enjoy a unique and delicious experience!
In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step by our Thai Chef Instructor in recreating this classic dish with the most authentic flavors and techniques. You will learn basic knife skills, how to properly prepare the traditional noodles, and how to build the flavor profile of an authentic Pad Thai sauce from scratch! We will have chicken and tofu available for protein options.
You will learn to plate, garnish, and then enjoy eating your beautiful plate of food. Gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and specialty items in order to recreate the perfect Pad Thai again at home.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore.
This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 2 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Recent reviews of Authentic Pad Thai Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Scott Doscher, attended Nov 2026: The teacher (Sulute) was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and authentic. He gave us ideas if we needed to ever make substitutes when we cooked it in the future. He was very clear in his instructions and had everything set up for us. He made it so easy for us to cook a great meal. I would highly recommend this, and I'll probably do it again. My wife and I did it together.
