Discover how to make authentic, handmade ramen in this Japanese cooking class in Berkeley! In this East Bay cooking workshop, our experienced Chef Mat Wertlieb will guide you through each step of the process, from simmering a flavorful pork broth to rolling and cutting your own fresh noodles by hand.
You’ll explore the secrets of Japanese cooking as you build bold, comforting flavors and top your creation with restaurant-quality ingredients. On the menu is our signature authentic Tonkotsu Ramen, featuring tender chashu pork, a silky pork broth, crisp radishes, green onions, and a perfectly cooked egg. Vegetarian ramen options are also available, making this class welcoming for all food lovers.
Perfect for date nights, a fun group activity in Berkeley, or simply treating yourself, this ramen-making class is hands-on and beginner-friendly. By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only enjoy a hearty bowl of ramen you made yourself — you’ll also take home the confidence to recreate it anytime a craving strikes and create soup-er fun memories!

Chef Mat Wertlieb


Growing up in a family full of chefs and kosher caterers in New Jersey, Mat Wertlieb has felt at home in a kitchen since childhood. He first fell in love with the unique culinary scene of the Bay Area while working an externship at One Market Restaurant in 2000. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he spent a year and a half in Boston’s busiest restaurant, Grill 23, before the pull of Northern California’s food culture drew him back. He has worked for the past decade at some of the most successful restaurants in San Francisco and Berkeley, including Lark Creek Inn, Farallon, Lalimes, and Gather. Trips to Italy and Israel furthered his exposure and passion for the various cuisines of the world. Chef Mat works full-time teaching classes with the Kitchen on Fire team including his own guest chef classes, the 12-Week Basics Series, Knife Skills and private events.
