Recent reviews of Handmade Dumplings Workshop

  • 5/5 from Joellen McKenna, attended Oct 2026: What a great class! The teacher was very engaging which more enjoyable. Will be looking to book another adventure soon.
  • 5/5 from Carson Flores, attended Apr 2026: Very kind chef! Great experience and would recommend for others!
  • 3/5 from David Winograd, attended Nov 2025: The teacher was nice, and we made dumplings. However, we didn’t actually cook them ourselves—the staff handled the cooking. We only brought our prepped, raw dumplings to be cooked, which led to long wait times depending on where you were seated. As a result, some people finished eating before others had even started cooking their dumplings. Additionally, steamed dumplings took longer than fried ones, so the cooking method significantly affected wait times, which wasn’t ideal.
