Recent reviews of Flavor Theory Class with Chef Tea of Little Los Angeles
- 5/5 from Shilpa Rajpara, attended Apr 2026: Great class. I cook a lot at home but really enjoyed learning some new skills. Fun learning new Caribbean flavors. The crowd was fun, the music was great, the food was warm and comforting. Would love more with chef tea!
- 5/5 from Zakoya Hall, attended Apr 2026: This cooking class with Chef Tea/Little Los Angeles was amazing! She was clear with direction and maintained a welcoming warmth. Very professional and attentive. I think this class works for cooks ranging from amateur to experienced (for a little fun). I heard multiple people say other cooking classes they’ve been to weren’t good, but this is one they’d return to. Ditto!
- 5/5 from Jacob Shafer, attended Apr 2026: Chef Tea was a great instructor and overall the class was really fun! They were very friendly and informative and very prepared/professional. In particular we loved the pre-organized stations and entryway cocktail. I think the only major negative was that there were no to-go containers (or were given heads-up about lackthereof) and we all had to throw away a lot of food!
- 5/5 from Nicholas Cain, attended Apr 2026: This cooking class was excellent — fun, relaxed and delicious. Plus, I learned a lot of useful tips and tricks. Chef Tea brought a lot of knowledge and experience, but was also approachable and answered our questions. Very fun night!
- 5/5 from Tamara Taylor, attended Apr 2026: This was my first class at the Los Angeles Cooking School but certainly will not be my last. It was a birthday gift to myself and frankly a splurge but when I saw the menu and Chef Tea I knew I had to go. She did not disappoint, the class was amazing! So fun and menu was delicious. She curated a really fun environment where we could comfortably ask questions and learn. Not to mention the music was wonderful!!
- 5/5 from Natalie Patterson, attended Apr 2026: Chef Tea is amazing. The class was very educational and equally fun. We used the whole space and got to enjoy the fruits of our labor. 10/10 would recommend and her playlist was fire.
- 4/5 from Alan Fu, attended Apr 2026: Really liked the chef and the dishes but the stove space was too clustered (too many students, not enough burners) so it felt hard to get in a flow state when everyone was on top of each other.
