Cooking Class - Zest of Siam

Chef Gus was personable, helpful, n great at teaching the class. I am a housewife who’s been cooking for 45 years, actually learnt a few new things from Chef Gus that I can apply to my own everyday cooking. I enjoyed my time in the class. The only possible improvement I can offer is with a few supplies items when we have to wait for chef Gus to pass out…those can be placed in a more central location of the space n the students can b instructed to get the supplies themselves, e,g. Water for the bao dough, Saran Wrap to cover dough, as well as take out containers. Thank you!

Resident Chef was very clear and thorough in her presentation.

We had a wonderful time! the Instructor was great and taught us everything step by step would definitely take another class!

It wasn’t one of the best food workshops I have attended. Working in groups of 4 on only one station is not appealing especially when you team random people. The food quantity was definitely not enough for 4 people and once we made the food we were told to put it aside and not eat because we were rushed onto the next dish. Finally, I did not feel the chef was accommodating or even trying to be. We asked to split our sauce into half with bacon and half without which would have been super easy to do simply bringing another pan which he claimed to not have while clearly behind us there was a wall full of pots and pans. Nice idea. Not as great of an execution. We won’t be back.

We had a great time!

It was an amazing class.

“Baking Fun For The Whole Family” was so much fun with Chef Sofia! Good beginner hands on experience, not too advanced but just right!

Thought it would be more hands on. Most items were pre cut and peeled, mostly we just added the items and mixed them. Class only lasted about 1 hr. 45 min.

Was fantastic, our teens also had a great time, and we learned some valuable tips and tricks. Plus, the dreaded caramel, which I had previously burned on more than one occasion. Our chef was excellent!

We had a great time with Chef Chris. It was a small class so we had a great hands on experience.

The Chef wasn’t Gus, but the woman who did lead the class was great. She was super knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She was also engaging and authoritative, which is always appreciated in an educational environment. Will definitely be taking more classes.

Chef Stevie was amazing. Super knowledgeable, encouraging, and the food turned out really good! We ended up needing to get a midnight snack after, but a lot of other people in the class seemed to have leftovers -- it's a good amount of food, but if you're really hungry, you'll want more.

Not a good experience. I paid for 2 people. The staff only prepared for a serving of 1. One steak for two and we had to share peas, pasta, cheese, etc with another attendee from a different party. 3 people shared for a serving of one! The staff told me that we were supposed to share with another attendee. I told her no, I paid for two people, why are we sharing with different party with a serving of one?! The staff finally but reluctantly gave me my own steak and other food portions along with our own station. The staff didn’t offer any drinks nor water with our service. In addition, the service didn’t offer any chairs to sit down. We stood up for almost 3 hrs! I’m young but my mom is 60 and everyone else in attendance was also older. We had to ask for a chair when we got done cooking. Lastly the chef was also very high strung and you can tell she didn’t want to teach the class. My mom was visiting LA for the first time and it was supposed to be a fun experience. Two stars because the food did taste great and good quality. However I wouldn’t recommend this service. I’ve been to better for less. ?

Chef Savannah was awesome. Learned a lot.

great experience

Great class even better instructor. Also fun group of women

Great chef cook instructor. Fun ambience and learned a few things. Enjoyed it a lot!

Loved our cooking class. Learned A LOT ! Very hands on.

Great time! It was a simple enough meal to learn that helped us both expand our palette and culinary repetoire. Recommend for all. I would ask in the future exactly what you are going to learn.

Ethan's passion for cooking shows & made the class educational & fun! We look forward to seeing him again as well as the helpers. Thank you for sharing your passion to cook!

It was such a great class. I learned so much and can't wait to replicate the dishes at home.

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry, and enjoying coconut rice afterwards, in a group of 12. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity

My husband and I really enjoyed this class. We both learned some things, and had a great meal at the end. We would definitely recommend this date night class.

Love the class, and now is chef/instructor was great

Chef was attentive and helpful. Would have liked to taste it (!), but a health emergency ended the class early. Still waiting for the recipes.

Great class. Learned a lot and the bread was delicious.

As usual, this was a great experience. I would recommend their cooking classes to learn, eat great food, and have a great experience.

Overall very informative. Adult only class would be a nice option.. Chef had amazing experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Should have a 5 min late policy. Late guests distracting. Would have liked a little quicker pace. Overall Very great seat up. Definitely an experience.

Overall, the class was really fun! In a way I wish it was a tiny bit more challenging. It felt like we did a few knife cuts, then took a break and then cooked a bit before eating. All in all, I wish it had been a bit more difficult or ""fast"" pace wise. The food we made was really good, except for the pad thai which was disappointing. Also would be super nice to make a dessert!"

I walked out with technique and confidence. I enjoyed the setup of the class and the instructor very much. Would take another class!

The French croissants class was excellent. Chef Eric was very helpful and the experience was great. Be prepared for an engaging hands-on class We learned a lot and had fun. The final products (sweet and savory croissants) were delicious.

Absolutely delicious food! Really enjoyed the group and the chef leading the class.

Great class, Excellent Chef. Enjoyed every minute.

Very helpful and informative, would definitely take other classes. Really enjoy being able to ask questions along the way.

We had a great time! Large group, very organized and fun! Food was delish! Never received the recipes from the class to make at home

The chef was very personable and knowledgeable. The class was fun and the meal turned out delicious. One wish was maybe a glass of wine with the meal.

We had a great time! John was great leading the class and the food was delicious! Will definitely take another class!

The class was easy to follow, and I feel the recipes will be easy to replicate at home. This class should be 3 hrs long, not 2. The dough didn't have enough time to rise and didn't have enough time to bake. My focaccia bread wound up burning because the instructor was moving on with the class and the bread didn't get out of the oven fast enough.

Excellent instructor. Great hands-on experience. I was able to go home and replicate the recipes.
