Chef Shinya was a wonderful and very knowledgeable host. We took the gyoza class and learned so much! I do recommend having a snack before, as we didn’t eat until 9pm. The only suggestion I would have is for the class to be a little more interactive for all participants. Really enjoyed meeting Chef Shinya!

My partner and I really enjoyed this class! Pros: learned several general cooking tips, the food was fantastic, the Chef was great at breaking down big steps into small pieces, the lesson feels doable at home, and the chef adjusted the recipe to my pescatarian diet once I brought it to his attention. Cons: We did not eat until 9:30 PM, it was a large group for a smaller kitchen so we all watched people rotate cooking instead of being involved in each step, and the chef did not ask about dietary restrictions ahead of time. Overall, fantastic class, just eat a snack before you arrive. :)
