Chef was super nice and the experience itself was fun but we only actually made 3 dishes, the demonstrations were super quick, and the entire thing was only 2 hours long. While we still had a good time it didn’t really feel worth our money, especially when we were expecting to make 5 courses.

We loved the experience of cooking with chef John. Each dish was delicious and John gave us lots of clear instruction so we hope to repeat it again at home. We'd definitely recommend this class to anyone who loves Thai food.
