2.5 hours Location Garment District Class size 1 to 10 (public classes), 16 to 30   $65 - $89 ($65 for Public class; $89 for Private class)

Escape to the streets of Tokyo as we create this infamous classic dish, Japanese Ramen!
This class is perfect for anyone who enjoys Asian flavors and wants to learn more about how to recreate these flavors and techniques at home!
In this fun, hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in recreating this popular noodle soup dish, renowned for its rich broth, abundance of noodles and endless toppings! You will firstly be trained in some foundational knife skills used to chop all of your fresh ingredients. You will then learn how to balance flavors to create your Ramen broth and the addition of various vegetables. You make a Tori-Kadzu Black Ramen with chicken broth, fried chicken, and vegetables.
Guests will get to make their own Ramen noodles from scratch! Practice your pasta making skills with a Japanese twist. Cook your noodles and add all the extras that make this deliciously authentic dish! Once you have created your Ramen sensations, you can have fun customizing your bowl with a variety of traditional garnishes and toppings before enjoying your creation with your new found foodie friends!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but will be available for sale at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+

Recent reviews of Japanese Cooking Class: Ramen

  • 5/5 from Nidhi Donuru, attended Oct 2026: It was fun and interesting, I personally wouldn't have learnt ramen by myself, so I took the class. Chicken karage came out really well, I understood how to make that at home now. The broth was good as well. Learnt a new technique to boil eggs. The cards to tap to use restroom weren't working. Maybe they can check on that.
  • 5/5 from Charlie, attended Sep 2026: The class was great! The chef was knowledgeable and helped out when needed. I loved the added touch of calling everybody "Chef". A cute little touch that added just a little more to the experience. The food tasted great and overall it was a wonderful experience!

He checked each table to ensure that everyone was comfortable and that the recipe was being followed correctly. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. This is definitely recommended!
  • 5/5 from Leslie Lacayo, attended Oct 2025: Sandro the teacher was super patient and helpful! Loved the class!
  • 5/5 from Johnny O’Connor, attended Sep 2025: The class was fantastic. The teacher was amazing. I made my own ramen noodles. Making my own ramen noodles was really cool. I would like to take another class that focuses primarily on broth.
  • 2/5 from Suzi Hyun, attended Aug 2025: Underwhelming experience. The class was inefficient and should not have taken two hours, and the instructor seemed unprepared, particularly in delivering the speech. The venue and set up looked quite cheap, lot of plastic materials. And the materials appeared unsanitary—when we asked to replace a cutting board that looked dirty, we were told it was just an “old carrot stain” and that it was fine, which was just really unappetizing. The ramen also didn’t feel authentically Japanese; although described as Tonkotsu Ramen, it was essentially Chicken Katsu Ramen with an MSG-based broth. I would not recommend this class to anyone at this price.
  • 5/5 from Jasmin Morales, attended Jun 2025: This was the first cooking class I’ve taken and I loved it! Brought this as a gift for my friend’s birthday and he enjoyed it as well. The instructor was professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely try another cooking class in the future and bring more friends!
  • 5/5 from Daniella Hughes, attended May 2025: No prior cooking knowledge is needed. Sandro did an exceptional job explaining how to complete each step, what to look for, and providing pointers along the way. The class was fun, and the food came out phenomenal!
  • 5/5 from Lauren, attended Apr 2025: My partner and I had such a lovely time, and the ramen was so good. Chef Sandro is amazing, I would recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Alicia Luciano, attended Mar 2025: We enjoyed the class very much. The ramen made was delicious. My son was very happy with the experience. Chef was easy to follow and came around often to check on others to make sure everyone understood the task. Can’t wait for the next one!
  • 5/5 from Bella Clemente, attended Mar 2025: Loved our instructor! He was so friendly and very good at guiding us through each step. He made it so enjoyable!
  • 5/5 from Sydney Bryan, attended Mar 2025: Enjoyed it! Fun date activity.
  • 2/5 from Fred Slavin, attended Mar 2025: Teacher was good. Ramen was terrible.
  • 5/5 from Brianna Scatorchia, attended Feb 2025: Great class! We especially loved making our own noodle! The instructor was wonderful and helped us individually too. Such a great date night and delicious! We will be making this at home!
  • 5/5 from Aarushi Shukla, attended Feb 2025: Loved making the noodles
  • 5/5 from Bram McGinnis, attended Feb 2025: We enjoyed the class! You do a lot of different cooking activities (chopping, frying, homemade noodles)! Chef Sandro was great, very informative and helpful. He’s a natural teacher! The food turned out delicious!
  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Feb 2025: The class was very interesting and fun to attend and participate in. The instructor was very friendly and paced the class so that no participant felt rushed. The instructor had prepared the broth to be used for the Ramen soup ahead of time, and just collected the vegetables given each participant after being sliced/chop. He also pre-prepared the coating for the chicken breast/tofu chunks and then each participant or group seasoned their own breast or tofu. The instructor was very hands on, going to each participant or pairs and evalauting the dough we had made after he demonstrated on how much water to add to the flour provided. He then went and felt each piece of dough and then gave recommendations on how to improve, or compliments if the dough was good. After dough was prepared, he demonstrated on how to pass the dough through the pasta cutter. And then instructed the class on how to cook the breast/tofu. After that we sat down and enjoyed the ramen soup. Again, enjoyable class and I would recommend to anyone interested in learning on how to make different styles of pasta and soups.
  • 5/5 from Argelia Moya, attended Dec 2024: Class was fun and chill. Instructor kept a good pace and was organized, went to each individual table to guide you after explaining steps. Meal was delicious!
  • 5/5 from Jill Sieffert Deacon, attended Nov 2024: We really enjoyed the ramen class. We made the noodles from scratch and battered and fried chicken. The teacher was great and explained all of the processes that go into making ramen (we don't make the broth during the class). And it tasted good. I appreciated that the instructor used a microphone and had music playing in between instruction.
  • 5/5 from Joseph Elijah Pardo, attended Nov 2024: Super fun class
  • 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Our teacher was awesome and the class was very informative. The instructor did a great job of explaining each step to us. Great for a date night or even an activity with friends.

  • 5/5 from Becca Licht, attended May 2024: Class was fun and relaxed! We made our own ramen noodles and katsu chicken for a broth that was already made. It was a great evening activity to celebrate a friend's birthday.
  • 4/5 from Jeanette Gonzalez, attended May 2024: Good group activity and good value for class. Wish we had more hands on experience to cook broth. Chef Sandro was very friendly and courteous.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Tallman, attended Feb 2024: My husband and I went for a fun date and the class was really great! Sandro the teacher was so sweet and helpful, and great at explaining what was going on in the background (making the broth) and what we were supposed to do. We made ramen noodles from scratch, chopped vegetables, coated and fried chicken. The whole experience was a lot of fun and the end product was delicious.

In terms of venue, it was great but the instability of the table made it a bit hard to work at times. But I would say that was the only downside of this experience.
