Chef Wen went above and beyond for our meal. We requested some other menu items on a phone call (he prefers phone to email), and he let us think about what we wanted to make/learn. In the end we switched out 2 of the dishes to dry-fried string beans and hot and sour egg drop soup (which was simply incredible). He is skilled at many kinds of Chinese cuisine, including Beijing, Shandong, and Sichuan. He showed us how to make every dish and explained what seasoning to add and how to chop. He made two versions of the dan dan noodles because he knew I didn’t like spicy food as much. He brought cucumbers he had pickled the day before, plus homegrown peppers! He really wanted to provide the best experience. We loved having a cozy, casual dinner at home, sometimes observing, sometimes chatting, sometimes helping to cook—and plenty of eating along the way! He was very flexible and left a few small containers of sauces too, so that we could have some yummy leftovers.

Chef Wen was very friendly and jovial, while sprinkling in cooking tips about knife skills, noodle-making, and layering flavors. We loved the four-course meal we ate! The class was on time and he brought all the ingredients he needed.
