  I thought this experience was amazing! The instructor was very sweet and helpful. The dumplings turned out so delicious as well. I couldn’t recommend this cooking class enough!

  Overall a great, fun, and educational experience! We did this with our two kids, ages 9 and 6. We learned a lot about the technique of making xiao long bao, and also enjoyed the intimate, natural setting. My only suggestion is that the first half of the experience was not super interactive and it felt like maybe a bit more explanation and watching than necessary…but once we got into actually making the dumplings it was great!

• Excellent introduction to Chinese soup dumplings

  Xiaolongbao are a classic Chinese dish and learning to make them was easy and fun with our great teacher. Given her broad skills and knowledge, the class was more than “just” a cooking class but rather a great introduction to many aspects of Chinese culture. Highly recommended.

• Amazing. A must do experience

  This was a phenomenal experience, Cici works at your pace and skill level - I wasn’t very good and that was fine. The dumplings were delicious at the end

  Highly recommend this Xiaolongbao soup dumpling cooking class! Chef Yin is an excellent cook who does a great job of teaching and providing hands-on cooking experience to participants. She is also engaging and personable and throughout the class, it was great to hear stories about China and Chinese culture and really get a deeper understanding of the country that we were visiting. Chef Yin can also customize cooking classes for you depending on what Chinese food you want to learn how to make, which is great because my son and husband have particular Chinese dishes that I can learn how to make.

• In house soap bun class.

  The entrance was scary. Thur a old abandoned kitchen. Not sure where to meet, until Yin saw us in the alley and lead us thur. The studio was clean, small but functional. Yin was very welcoming and gave great information on how to make dough. The soup buns were very good. A true small look into the local people's lives.

• Worth the time and money

  Yin was a great teacher and easy to talk to. She gave an amazing recommendation for a nearby tea shop. My friend and I had a wonderful time learning how to wrap xiaolongbao. The class overall was very fun and interactive. Definitely a memorable experience that my friend and I will not forget and became one of the highlights of our time in Shanghai
