Riley, 10-years old, had a great time with this experience. We bought the equipment for making our own wrappers and dumplings!

Gifted this experience to my wife. At the moment of booking, Wei accepted to replace the onion crispy cake with a kind of "gyoza" I showed by picture. The day of the class, another couple was with us, and Wei decided to do only what listed on the experience: no "gyoza", she said that she would have send me the recipe thereafter (why do I need to come to a class then???). Apart from this, the onion crispy cake was just flour mixed with green onion, the soup was OK and then noodles were OK too. Too priced, I would have preferred to know it before. I would not pay half of the original price was such experience. Not recommended.

We had a wonderful time with Chef Wei. We loved learning how to balance the flavors of pot stickers and soup dumplings. It was also great to learn how to properly fold and wrap the different dim sum. I know we will be attempting these recipes at home. She was a gracious host, and a kind and patient teacher. Would highly recommend.
