Yuki was the absolute...

Amazing class!

It was such an amazing experience! Yuki was so helpful and did very well translating. The chef was so very kind and very passionate with his craft as well. The admission fee was very reasonable and you definitely get what you pay for. The length of the visit was very valuable and it filled up the time very well. The atmosphere and crowd size was very cozy and the people were very welcoming and engaging. Best for solo, dates, basically any event you can think of. Highly recommend and plan on coming back!!

Amazing Food, Amazing Company

It was an amazing experience. We got to make the noodles from scratch and got to prepare all of the toppings. Leaning how to fold gyoza was such a fun experience. All the food was so delicious. The professional chef helped to guide us along the way, Very knowledgeable. The tour guide/translator, Yuki, was amazing, friendly and genuinely enjoyed the whole process with us. Her enthusiasm was contagious. Would highly recommend!

A great cooking experience!

The food was good, and the instructor did a good job explaining everything. The restaurant is a bit crowded, but they don’t overpack the lesson to the point where it is uncomfortable.
