    We had an absolutely amazing time in the ramen making class. Everything was explained in a way that will make it easy for me to repeat this recipe at home. I look forward to experimenting with my new ramen making skills. Thank you Cynthia!

    Didn’t really learn anything. We made pasta from scratch but everything else was pre made and it felt more like assembly than preparation/cooking. Also very difficult to see instructor - overall class felt unorganized and it only lasted about 30-45 minutes. Remainder of time was spent eating and mingling. Additionally they provided one bowl and one set of noodles per pair so it felt more conducive for dates.

    Teacher was awesome. Info was great. One thing that would be awesome is to take a class where its not just all couples. Not looking for a singles event. Just a cooking class where you learn to cook, and you're not out on a date with 12 other couples.

    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!

    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!!

    This class was a disappointment, the "room" was uncomfortable, the tables were small, no space to move around! We learned nothing about ramen, we just did the noodles and the rest was just like a buffet. The only thing nice about the class was the couple sitting next to us, the rest It would have been better just to go out to have ramen at a restaurant in the city.

    We enjoyed ourselves but weren’t huge fans of the instructor. She seemed annoyed to wait for everyone to wash their hands when there was only one bathroom which we obviously couldn’t control. The pasta making was fun but we didn’t love the setting in the hotel. Would have better in a kitchen. Also we wish we were shown how the sauce was made instead of being left alone while the pesto was made in the back. Overall we had a good time because of each other’s company, but we wouldn’t reccomend this class.

    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 knowledgable - she kept the entire group focused and excited the entire class. The class is held in a group setting, where you sit in groups os 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...

    Cynthia was organized, clear in her instructions, realistic in her timing of how long each task would take, and fun to work with. I've taken other cooking classes before, and hers was among the best. I got quite a bit out of it. I've tried to make Chinese dumplings in the past, and have never found instructions that worked. She demonstrated, described, corrected our work, and made the experience fun. The class was 2 hours long, but the time flew by. And the dumplings were both good to look at and delish.

I understand that there is a cost to the teacher’s time as well, but the value of the class + 1 bowl of pasta didn’t feel like it added up. I was lucky that I did not have a partner for the class, so I was able to take extra pasta home with me, but the others only had the 1 bowl.

    Had a great time learning the six different shapes to fold the dumplings into. Some were easier to master than others. I guess with practice that will come. We had two different fillings to mix; meat and veggie. The meat was chicken with ginger, garlic, chopped basil, and mashed sweet potato. The veggie had tofu, chives, Asian coleslaw, and scallions. The instructor, Cynthia, added sesame oil to both mixtures, and we mixed with our hand wearing a plastic glove. There was a station set up for steaming them, and Cynthia would fry them for us if we wanted, and could do a mixture of both. They came out really tasty. There was also a station to mix dipping sauces. I had a good time. I highly recommend this class.

    The instructor was great. However, when I took this class I expected to have a kitchen setting not a restaurant setting. I was sitting on a booth and when asked to cut something how was I suppose to stand up and cut?! The tables were low even if I stood up to cut the vegetables. Highly disappointed for paying a high price for this class. Not worth it. Look for a class that offers a kitchen not a restaurant setting while hotel customers are eating in there while you’re taking the class.

    The dumplings were delicious. Cynthia was very thorough and had great energy. It would be helpful to get the recipe to make at home.

    Did not learn how to make the dumpling wrap - they were store bought potsticker wrappers. Instructor did not provide any recipe for what was put inside the dumpling - was told we could put anything in it that we want...but that's not helpful. Extremely disappointed. Did not learn anything and it cost way more than it was worth.

    The pasta we made was nice, but I would have preferred if the class had been in an actual kitchen. We didn't get to make the pasta sauce which I thought was a shame. I probably wouldn't do another of these classes.

    The setting was the Bar at the Hilton Garden. When we arrived the room was divided in two by a makeshift screen and it became apparent that another class (a paint and drink class) was going to take place simultaneously. The other group was noisy which was disruptive of some of the instructor's directions. The bar was still open to other patrons so the atmosphere was not private. The instructor was fine and what we learned was fine as well. But it was conducted on dining tables covered with plastic table clothes; it was not a real kitchen. There was only one cooking station with a hot plate so the cooking phase caused a bottleneck. Overall fair, not great.

    This class was more of a dumpling folding class rather than a dumpling making class. The filling was already made so all we had to do was mix, stuff and fold. My aunt (this was her bday gift) is allergic to corn (which was in the chicken filling). The instructor was kind enough to give her her own bowl with no corn, however, she forgot to give my aunt chicken when it was distributed to everyone. I was a little disappointed that I paid the same amount for both of us and she didn't get the same experience as I did.

    I enjoyed the class the part of learning shapes and types of dumplings and how to cut with knife. I had a not so great experience with the instructor forgetting to give me filling without ingredients I could not eat. She said she forgot and tried to come up with alternatives. So I couldn’t really eat what I created. Otherwise I enjoyed the concept and would like to try again another class. Her asst was lovely. Thank you

    This was an excellent course. The instructor was both knowledgeable and personable. There was an emphasis on safety and I picked up a new kitchen knife skill. The dumpling making was fascinating - and very enjoyable at the end of the night when we ate what we made! This would make a great quirky date night. Alternatively, kids would love going along to learn how to do these things. Or you could just go for the fun of it. My wife loved it and is already trying out new dumpling fillings at home. All in all, it's highly recommended.

    In this class all the materials are prepared for you so you just have to learn how to make dumplings and design and cook. You will learn alot, even a non-cook like myself knows how to make dumplings, its a hands on class and the teacher will give you one on one if needed. you work in groups of 4 so you learn from each other, You cook the food and you can even take food home and wrappers as well. Well done class.
