Review of Chinese Dumplings

Lucille P. May 25, 2023

1st we (4) arrived 30 minutes late to the lesson. The express bus that was supposed to take us from Staten Island never arrived! We attempted to take another bus then saw the sim 3 was back in route and went back to our original stop so you can imagine the scurry we were in. The chef was upset at our late arrival as it understandably caused a bit of chaos switching seats around to accommodate the 4 late students! We apologized to the group & James but it didn’t make it easier! Chef James was awesome. He was at each station and taught the class well. Very entertaining! I would only ask to have left the class with written recipes as in the past. Thank you chef James and sorry to have been late! We certainly didn’t want to miss anything!

We enjoyed Christine and her assistant - embarrassed I forgot her name - but found the space a bit off-putting. Chairs were too close together and the tables not big enough to work efficiently. Next time, they should turn off the TV (I asked the bartender about halfway through the class). The kitchen was noisy - I know they have to keep working, but it was distracting. We learned a lot and had a blast, so overall it was great! Roger

I thought the class was great, a lot of fun for not a lot of money. The location made it a little tough to hear Cynthia when she was talking, but she could not have been sweeter and was very informative. Both dumpling ingredients were delicious and there were some terrific takeaways. Would definitely take another class!

I enjoyed learning about knife cutting skills as well as trying out the different shapes for the dumplings.

My sister and I had a great time. We met wonderful people and had fantastic hand made dumplings - steamed and fried. Creating 9 different styles of closures and 2 filling gave us the confidence to do this on our own. My sis said she would definitely take more classes back home in Atlanta. And I will here in NY as well. Thanks for the inspiration!!

I thought this was a great class. Well-priced. Convenient venue. Great instructor. Could have used an additional steamer. And I was promised the recipes by email, but haven't yet received ([email protected]). And yes, I've checked spam!

There were great general cooking pearls included in the demonstration. The tasks were fun and doable and can definitely see making these at home. It was social and fun and yummy.

The only thing I did not like about the class is: I was late. I was very good in thinking of something to do. So much to eat! Was very nice.

My husband and I chose this class as an alternative to our typical dinner-out date night, and I'm so glad we did. We really enjoyed the class and learning 6 different techniques for making dumplings. Cynthia is amazing - energetic and knowledgeable - she kept the entire group focused and excited the entire class. The class is held in a group setting, where you sit in groups of 4-6, and share the chopping and mixing duties. Then, Cynthia walks the group through the dumpling shapes and techniques with both square and round wrappers. The dumplings themselves were delicious - we made vegetarian and chicken varieties and are excited to make these at home. The class is held in a hotel restaurant. There is a bar in the room where you can purchase drinks. This class is a lot of fun and a terrific value. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

I’m torn. We were hopping for a proper cooking class. To that end, we would rate it a 3. What we found was tantamount to a good date night. The paint night of cooking if you will. To that end I’d give it 5 stars. Enough (tasty!!) dumplings to fill you up, enough of a fun « cooking » experience to put a check in the box (pre cooked materials with mere chopping required, 6 brief dumpling folding techniques, a footnote of recipe) a cash bar with reasonably priced wine/beer but a true cooking class it was not. The search continues...

Instructor was very knowledgeable and explained insider kitchen tips. Class was open and fun, interactive and social. Each table worked together to prepare ingredients. Dumpling shaping was fun and hard. We didn’t get all the shapes down but had many leftovers to enjoy.
