What an incredible experience! Thank you Andrew and crew for such a fun time. I would recommend this to anyone. We learned so much, and not just about ramen and gyoza. The food was also excellent.

Hi Jane, Thanks so much for the review and also doing it on Google - so thankful for the pro activity! Let me know when you guys make some ramen, if you have any questions about anything you might need to get in Japan for example, fire it my way!

We loved the class, it was a lot of fun and so educational. Very hands on and the food we made was exceptional. Andrew, Catarina and Shu were fabulous teachers and it was overall a fantastic experience, one of the best things we've done in Tokyo! Thank you so much, highly recommend to folks that want to learn how to make ramen and gyozas ❤️
