  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended May 2025: The Asian Dumplings Cooking Class was very enjoyable and informative. The cook from CocuSocial was a cook had taken a class with previously and he was just as fun and informative as previously. For me it was also a testament to his cooking skills to be able to go from Japanese Ramen (my first exposure) to today's (May 11, 2025) Asian Dumplings. We began with the instructor telling us about what were going to do in the class. Then he proceeded to demostrate the making of the ponzu sauce (spicy and non-spicy). During the sauce demo he also described what is meant in cooking what a portion is related to. One portion to one cup. After the sauce demo, we proceeded to making our dough for the dumplings. He proceeded step by step and also went around to each work station to individually check each participants dough and then commented if okay or required more flour or water. After everyone's dough was ready, he told us to bag the dough and then instructed us on how to properly hold a nice for chopping and then we chopped some veggies to be used in the mix for the dumplings filling. After the veggies were collected to add to the ponzu sauce and let cook for a few minutes. We then were given a demostration on how to roll and slice the dough for the dumplings casing. On how to roll the sliced portions flat, and then given a display of the various types of dumpling shapes that could be used after filling with the beef and ponzu sauce combination. After boiling and/or frying the dumplings we sat down and enjoyed our creations. I would definitely recommend and CocuSocial cooking class.
  • 5/5 from Noga Alon, attended Apr 2025: Me and my boyfriend loved it! the instructor was super nice, patient and funny. We made a lot of dumplings and were full! also sending the recipe was very nice. the only thing to imporve is that we think the music should be relatable to the cuisine, like chinese music, we thought it would connect us more to the experience.

  • 5/5 from Dave Lopata, attended Mar 2024: Great class. Our instructor was very helpful and engaging.

He explained the various cutting techniques used for the vegetables, and did a great job demonstrating the folding methods used to make the dumplings.

  • 5/5 from Michael Lim, attended Dec 2023: My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun! Making dumplings isn't easy. But the instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. The only thing I would change or improve is to maybe have the students come in closer for the demo on sealing/closing the dumplings because it is difficult to see the folding of something so small from far away. Overall, this was a great class and we would definitely come again!
  • 5/5 from Richard Brito, attended Oct 2023: I think the class was good, maybe just larger tables to accommodate 2 people and the prep needed
  • 5/5 from Serene To, attended Sep 2023: This class was my first class through this website and it was a great experience. I will definitely have to save up for my next class! Chef Sandro was patient with everyone and took the time to go to every table to see if we were doing alright. My boyfriend and I were the last to leave - they weren't forcing people out. The venue was nice and spacious. Since it was inside a hotel lobby, the doorman escorted us to the Breakfast room when he saw that we were lost. While making the dumplings, they supplied us with mini rolling pins which were the cutest thing ever. Other than that, the supplied us with everything that we needed. I loved how creative we could be with shaping the dumplings and it was no competition between the parties.
  • 5/5 from Julia Schiptsova, attended Sep 2023: Loved the class and the teacher (chef Sandro) - very chill, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Would love to take more! Definitely a great experience and a fun activity, we did it with our 2 kids, but also saw a lot of couples.
