Recent reviews of Asian Dumplings and Dim Sum

  • 5/5 from Patty Lier, attended Oct 2026: The variety of dumplings was great. It was nice to gave such hands on involvement. The extra add ons like the cookies were tasty and to top it off all the recipes were made available at the end of the tasting experience. Highly recommend this cooking class.
  • 5/5 from Prithvi Venkataswamy, attended May 2026: Chef Paige and Amarndo were amazing! Super helpful and friendly from the first moment. Chef Amarando was nice enough to answer our questions even if they were outside the scope of the class. His enthusiam for cooking was very apparent. Chef Paige was an amazing teacher and never hesitated to repeat instructions or lend some help. Very fun class, lots of different foods to make!
  • 5/5 from Leandra Joseph, attended Mar 2026: This was an amazing class. The chef was spectacular. His attention to detail and demonstration was impactful. I left that class confident that I could recreate the dumplings, summer roles and cookies with no issues.
  • 5/5 from Chavelle-Marie Skrastins, attended Mar 2026: A friend won the class at a silent auction and invited me to attend with her. It was so much fun. We did the Asian Dumpling and Dim Sum ClassBento. Oliver was a great teacher. He and Armando were so friendly. Oliver's instructions were clear and easy to follow. We made cookies, 6 kids of dumplings/dim sum, scallion pancakes and rice spring rolls. This lesson made me understand that I could make these dishes at home and I will. I plan to sign up for more classes. It was an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
  • 4/5 from Barbara Cheifet, attended Nov 2025: The teacher was fun, even if his dumpling skills were just OK. We made dumplings (5 kinds), scallion pancakes, sesame cookies, and spring rolls. The food was good and drinks and wine were provided. I wish we had gotten to actually do more of the workand take more food home with us, but I can see it being difficult for the 3 hour class. This would be fun for a beginner level or for someone who doesn't care, much about the cooking and just wants a fun date or friend night. We had a great time.
  • 5/5 from Audrey E Broussard, attended Aug 2025: Really great course! The food was fantastic and Oliver and Maria were great. Educational but lots of fun, can’t wait to return!
  • 5/5 from Alan C Brown, attended Feb 2025: So much fun! Chef Jenny and Monica were very friendly and attentive. They created an atmosphere where everyone was relaxed and it made for an enjoyable time had by all. They did a great job of explaining things…we made dumplings, spring rolls, dim sum and scallion pancakes, I actually think I can make dumplings now and I’m not really a cook, my husband is the chef of the family.
  • 5/5 from Devon Pepper, attended May 2024: Very fun class! had a great time making all different types of dumplings and spring rolls.
  • 5/5 from Saskia Thomson, attended Feb 2024: So much fun and delicious! Chef Danny was great. We met new people - all around Great date experience.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Maratto, attended Jan 2024: It was such a wonderful class - I learned new skills and tried new a thing outside of my comfort zone! I will absolutely be back!
  • 3/5 from Jenna Doctoroff, attended Jan 2024: Class size was too big, and the final product tasted pretty mediocre. Would not go back.
  • 3/5 from Sophie Wood, attended Jan 2024: Chef Y was nice and charismatic, but this class was best suited for a casual date night. I think you could only learn something if you were an absolute beginner. It's a class to have fun, not to learn. I signed up because I wanted to learn something new, so I was a little disappointed. The recipes we made did not match what was listed in the description - we were supposed to make dim sum dumplings, potstickers, and jiaozi dumplings. In actuality, we spent like 10 minutes making spring rolls and the rest of the time making simple potstickers. All we got to do was use premade filling to make potstickers, then the chef cooked everything for us. I wish I had gotten to learn how to make fillings or how to fry/steam the dumplings myself. The rescheduling policy was also annoying. My partner woke up with food poisoning, so I called and tried to reschedule. The woman told me I could not reschedule over the phone, only by email - weird. Then by email they said it was not possible to reschedule so short notice. I understand it's their right to enforce whatever policy they want, but based on the actual structure of the class it really didn't seem like we needed to be there - we didn't have an individual station that had ingredients specially allocated for us or anything like that, so it was irritating that they were so inflexible. In summary, although I liked the Chef, I would not attend another class with this group because I don't like the structure of the event, the assumed skill level does not match mine, and I was annoyed by the inflexible policies.
  • 5/5 from Taylor Bogart, attended Dec 2023: So fun! Chef Ygal was a blast we had an amazing time and the dumplings were delicious
  • 5/5 from Zoe Esposito, attended Dec 2023: Chef Alex and Chef Mark were amazing. Nicely paced and perfect for beginners. Would recommend
  • 5/5 from Johanna Waldron, attended Sep 2023: Such a fun class! Chef Y has a great personality and very knowledgeable about cooking. 10/10 would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Pamela, attended Sep 2023: This class was a gift from my daughter. Our teacher was engaging, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining (funny)! The professional kitchen was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. We (a class of 16) had plenty of room to observe, participate in demonstrations, and do the work of the class - making dumplings! We learned how to roll a spring roll with rice wrappers, how to make dumpling dough, and four ways to roll and shape dumplings. Our teacher's demonstrations were detail-oriented but not overly complicated. Our creations were steamed and fried by our teacher; we had a delicious feast at the end of the class! I had a lot of fun and will definitely do another!
  • 5/5 from Kate L Argento, attended Sep 2023: Both teachers were great. Loved the atmosphere and small group was fantastic. Will book again!
  • 5/5 from Brittany Martinez, attended Jul 2023: This was extremely fun! The food was so delicious and it was very hands on. We made dough from scratch, vietnamese spring rolls, dim sum and learned to fold different dumpling styles. There was crackers, spring rolls, wine, and other drinks available to have before and during the class. The chef was great and very helpful! Chef Danny and Alex are a good time and made everything an easy, smooth experience.
  • 5/5 from Tina Zheng, attended Jun 2023: Our chefs offered expert knowledge of the cuisine being taught. They both provided great encouragement and creative freedom to learn the cuisine. Overall it was fun experience with a great environment for positive learning. Also the food came out delicious!
  • 5/5 from Edona Jakaj, attended Apr 2023: Chef Tresser and Chef Mark were great. They were very thorough and helpful. The class was informative but very fun at the same time. Will definitely be coming back!
  • 5/5 from Krista Gundersen, attended Mar 2023: Chef Ygael was great - he was funny and informative at the same time. This is definitely more of a basic level class, but what was nice is that it took the pressure off of anyone who wasn't comfortable in the kitchen. Chef Ygael demonstrated everything first and then we would practice the techniques. The dumplings and rolls were delicious!
  • 5/5 from Brittany Lim, attended Jan 2023: The teacher was amazing and provided us a lot of help and technique to roll spring rolls as well as different shape to make for dumplings. The sauce he created paired so well with the dumplings we have created.
