              Chef Li was a fantastic cook and teacher. We had a great time learning with her and would 1000% do it again. Perfect date night and so many leftovers haha.

              Chef Li's soup dumpling class was wonderful! We had so much fun during every part of the process. Chef Li is an amazing teacher, she explains the steps to each dish so well!
