I was incredibly disappointed with this experience, it was almost laughably bad. It started with Chef Wei meeting us at the door with her pajamas pants on and went down from there. Nothing was prepped in advance, the countertops of her kitchen weren't clean, she didn't wash her hands one time during the entire class, the pots, dishes and utensils weren't sterilized. I had taken my partner for a date night and was embarrassed by this experience. I feel we were completely taken advantage of at $120/pp. I do not recommend at all.

Chef Wei was wonderful along with the 3 course creations. She took her time in showing you the steps and created a warm environment. I would definitely recommended booking a class with her.
