Recent reviews of Authentic Japanese Ramen Cooking Class
- 4/5 from Jamie Ross, attended Sep 2026: My team really enjoyed the class. The broth tasting was spectacular. Super fun to make the noodles.
- 5/5 from Ramon Jayme Jr, attended Aug 2026: 8/23/26- a very nice structured class! I took this class because my son loves to eat Ramen noodles, literally-every. single. day. Just the right amount of history, a tasting of traditional ramen bowls, noodles from scratch, and broth experimentation. It was a hot day in SF, so a personal fan and lighter clothing would've been a better choice. Bring a phone stand if you want to take pictures. Come hungry because you have to eat your gigantic custom freshly prepared ramen! Definitely a worth while experience!
- 5/5 from Olivia, attended Aug 2026: It was very organized and well done! I learned not only how to make ramen, but also got to taste 4 different kinds and learned a bit of Japanese culinary history at the same time. I had a lot of fun.
- 4/5 from Tammy Lyons, attended Aug 2026: Overall the event was great, but it would have been better to have more dialogue with the venue pior. There were several items that should have been communicated by the venue prior to make the event seamless and attention to detail could have been better.
- 5/5 from Andrew McCoy, attended Jun 2026: Took my team here and this class is an absolute must if you are in the San Francisco area. Gil was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable about the art and history of ramen. We learned so much. 10/10 highly recommend.
- 5/5 from Tulsi Patel, attended May 2026: Gil was fantastic and didn’t rush the class at all. The class consisted of making ramen noodles from scratch, taste testing different types of ramen, and creating your own bowls. He was able to accommodate the different dietary restrictions too. Highly recommend for a group outing.
- 5/5 from Jennifer Chapman, attended Feb 2026: We had the best time at Sunday’s ramen class! Our classes teacher was so knowledgeable and we loved his personal touches and stories! We want to come back for the sushi class for sure! Thank you again :)
- 5/5 from Erik Scales, attended Jan 2026: Fun class, great teacher.
- 5/5 from Sherry Ikeda, attended Dec 2025: Gil was the best instructor. Three of us went for the class and we had such a good time. Learned so much about making ramen. Will do another class for sure.
- 5/5 from Mindy Farnsworth, attended Aug 2025: We had a group of 20. It was a great time!
