As a Chinese, I am still surprised by the taste and the recipe of the dipping chili sauce.They have done an amazing job frying the dumplings as well.

We made tacos completely from scratch, including the corn tortillas, shrimp, chicken, and mushroom fillings, plus fresh pico and guacamole. The chef was personable and shared personal experiences, making the whole experience awesome.

Chef Harold was extremely knowledgeable for our team outing. He made the class very interactive and we surprised ourselves with our own results! Would certainly recommend for anyone interested in learning about sushi, eating some delicious food and having fun!

This entire experience was a $900 disaster. Cancelations, poor communication, late chef, a venue that didn't even offer decent drinks, no one answering at customer service, etc. The team had a decent time once they started, but I will never recommend Cozy Meal to anyone.
