The experience was incredible! Chef Linda is super nice, a very good teacher and well English speaker. She taught us how to prepare the 4 happiness dumplings and the big wontons. They tasted wonderful at the end of the experience. There are also several other different options. We highly recommend it! Also the place is super nice and they explain well how to reach it.
My own handmade ones are the best.

Cooking class was really fun. The teacher was very kind and immediately corrected my wrong steps and I was really happy to learn how to make Shanghai Xiaolongbao in such a short time. After the lesson, the teacher also sent me a detailed video of how to make the frost, which was a great experience.
Amazing

Our instructor, Chef Linda, was very friendly and explained the dumpling making steps clearly in English. We were so happy with the results and could even bring our creations home to eat. She helped us throughout the process and even explained other ways to fold dumplings. Truly a pleasant experience worth trying!
Fun and memorable!

A must do authentic experience in Shanghai. Mike was a patient and fun head chef who spoke excellent English. We made all our items from scratch and did all parts of the course ourselves. It was fun, learned some new skills in the kitchen, and finished it off eating it all with our Chef for lunch! We loved it!!💕 Authentic environment with a real kitchen 🥟Do yourself a favor and do something different than the typical tourist stuff! This is great fun and lots of food to eat too! We made Dumplings and Spring Rolls. Do it!!! You won’t regret it!!!

Super fun, do it you will have a fun and different experience. Definitely orginal and not like a large tour - very personalized service

Experience culture through cooking! We so enjoyed our learning to make Dim Sum and egg rolls. We will always appreciate the skill and expertise that cooks bring to the table after trying our hand at making them. Chef Linda was so knowledgeable and helpful to “novice” cooks like us.
