5.00My wife and I decided to take the XLB & Beef Noodle Soup class since we love eating it so much in Los Angeles. Diana was our guide and she was very thorough with teaching our class of 7 travelers. Definitely a great time if you’re interested in learning the basics of Taiwanese Cuisine.

5.00I've done many cooking classes around the world, this was one of the best. Our instructor (I'm sorry I don't know her name) did a great job explaining and including everyone in the process. The dishes we prepared were also our lunch. It was all delicious. . . I highly recommend this class.
