Recent reviews of Thai Cooking Class: Pad Thai

  • 5/5 from Robert Nicholson, attended Oct 2026: Informative, not too formal and in a great venue. Host makes the experience fun and it isn’t hard to make a successful pad Thai to enjoy
  • 5/5 from Alisen Chung, attended Apr 2025: The teacher was friendly and funny, and also very knowledgable about the food we were cooking. He answered all questions and guided us throughout the class.
  • 5/5 from Leesa Amodo, attended Dec 2023: Our teacher Grace was great! She was informative and attentive. We arrived later but she was still very accommodating and we were able to still have time after to taste our food. The venue was an open space which allowed for great ventilation. It was private and each pair had all the ingredients prepared ahead of time and packaged well. She was able to provide shrimp too which was a bonus as shrimp was on sale she said. The food tasted delicious afterwards and everyone had a great time! Definitely would want to do again :D
  • 5/5 from Nikki Marongiu, attended Dec 2023: Our teacher was great and provided a lot of information and the food we made was delicious!
