Recent reviews of Dumpling Making Class

  • 4/5 from Davina Ahia, attended May 2026: The dumplings were very tasty. The class is focused on folding, which makes sense since you can purchase the ingredients prefabricated. However, I do think it was a little bit difficult - in an hour and a half, our instructor tried to teach about 7 folds to 9 people, and I don't think the math quite worked on this one. I was able to do the two easiest folds, but I don't think it's possible to pick up the more advanced folds after seeing them demonstrated just once. It did not help that I am left-handed and the instructor didn't consistently provide left-handed modifications. I like this restaurant and I enjoy these dumplings, so these are nitpicks I suppose. However, I do feel like myself and most of the students were struggling with the advanced folds and that the class would be better if it were focused on 2-3 folds, or if class sizes were capped to a more intimate number. Now... I think that the dumplings in the picture speak for themselves. These are good, tasty dumplings. But the math of the class - packing so much into so little time - I do think is a drawback of the programming.

Men & Beasts is a modern Chinese kitchen & tea lounge, founded by Alex and Minty, is a welcoming space where tea, dim sum, and culture come together. Blending tradition with a contemporary touch, it offers a relaxed setting to explore flavors, connect with others, and enjoy meaningful culinary experiences rooted in Chinese heritage.
Our story
This restaurant and the cuisine we will serve is extremely special to me because it represents a journey that Alex and I made together as partners.
After moving to the US, I struggled to find food I liked, and would often skip meals out of total disillusionment with whatever I had tried to eat or cook. Homesickness definitely played its part and I found myself constantly ordering New York Chinese food to obtain some semblance of nostalgia. After I met Alex, he quickly introduced me to a plant-based diet, which sort of unlocked a love for food and cooking that I had lost since my early childhood.
So, once I embraced the plant-based diet, I immediately started to fantasize about how I could continue eating Chinese food, and started asking Alex to make plant-based versions of all kinds of my favorite Chinese dishes.
I see the food that Alex & I created for Minty Z, and now Men & Beasts, as the embodiment of our own unique and shared experiences: Chinese food, adapted to be plant-based, created by a highly talented and passionate chef.
