Recent reviews of Dim Sum Cooking Class
5/5 from Kian Mayne, attended Oct 2026: Will was a fantastic teacher with a very engaging and entertaining style. We made 3 different types of dim sum with different fillings and folding techniques. One aspect we enjoyed of this class was that you got to eat exactly what you made. In other classes sometimes it's mixed so you don't get to critique your own food. It was a 3 hours class but it went by very quickly. We got 2 free drinks tokens that we could use on beer/wine/soft drinks. Worth mentioning that you of course eat at the end, which for our session was after 9pm, so you may wish to have a snack beforehand. Overall, it was a fantastic introduction to making your first dim sum, highly recommend!
5/5 from Emmaline Okafor, attended Oct 2026: The Dim Sum class was really fun! Will demonstrated all of the steps really clearly and kept us entertained. I went on a solo date and would definitely recommend
5/5 from Matthew Sit Malyali, attended Sep 2026: Great class thanks for looking after us. Will was a fantastic teacher and was incredibly patient throughout the class! Feel inspired to try making the dishes at home!
5/5 from Gabriel de Olim Gaul, attended Sep 2026: Will is a great teacher and super enthusiastic about dim sum. We had a ton of fun.
2/5 from Monika Hadalska, attended Sep 2026: The class was too long - the first 1.5 was the teacher Will hectically talking at us and making awkward jokes, then when it came to making the actual dim sum, there was no time to perfect the folding technique etc, and that part felt very rushed. In fact, the teacher would come over and shout at you there isn’t time, and that we are already behind. The dim sum itself was below average. I would not recommend.
5/5 from Phillipa Wenderoth, attended Aug 2026: Will was absolutely amazing - funny and knowledgeable, but more importantly, he was a great teacher. I will definitely be using the knowledge I gained in this class to improve my dumplings at home. Thanks, Will!
5/5 from Pasquale Daniel, attended Aug 2026: Great teacher and very enjoyable experience.
5/5 from Ben Franklin, attended Aug 2026: Will was both entertaining and a great teacher, would highly recommend!
5/5 from Katherine Dowker, attended Aug 2026: Fantastic class- me and my 12 year old son had so much fun. Will was an excellent teacher and the dim sum was delicious. Thank you very much.
5/5 from Sze Jun Yuen, attended Aug 2026: It was my first time attending a cooking class and I had a pleasant experience to have a face-to face with a teacher who covers the history of dim sum and the recipe. Will is energetic and knowledgable in dim sum. He also took note and remembers student names, demonstrates step-by-step folding techniques for dumplings, and there is also a printed illustration recipe to follow.
5/5 from Suprina Hilaire, attended Jul 2026: I had such a great time at this dim sum making class! The instructor was warm, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, especially as it was my first time making dumplings. The instructions were clear, and we learned how to prepare the filling, fold different types of dim sum, and cook them perfectly. My favorite part was learning the folding techniques and enjoying the delicious dim sum we made together at the end. It was a fun, hands-on experience, and I picked up skills I can definitely use at home. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable cooking experience.

5/5 from Maria Perez, attended Apr 2026: The class was amazing! Will made it real fun and entertaining, giving us lots of tips and going through the Dim Sum making process (from making a really soft magic cloud-like dough, to the shaping of different dishes and how to eat them properly) as many times as needed.
5/5 from Nicole Marshall, attended Apr 2026: Our teacher Will was very knowledgeable and make the class very fun!
5/5 from Tala Abdeen, attended Mar 2026: The instructor was great! He made the class super fun!
1/5 from Anna, attended Mar 2026: I booked this as a birthday present for my boyfriend as a fun activity to do together after work. Instead it turned out to be 3 hours stuck in an interrogation style room with an extremely rude instructor Will, who insulted us, made inappropriate innuendos and shouted at anyone if they dared speak or look away during his extremely long winded explanations. The first hour consisted of Will lecturing us, which meant that we were then rushing the actual cooking part of the class and didn’t end up eating until 9:30pm. As part of the price, 2 drinks were included which we could apparently have at any point during the class, however when I asked to have one I was told I had to wait until I had ‘earnt it’. I feel like I paid to be bullied for 3 hours and didn’t even feel comfortable talking to my boyfriend for the fear of being shouted at. I would not recommend this experience at all.
5/5 from Katrina Stein, attended Feb 2026: Our teacher Will was absolutely fantastic. Guided us through making 3 types of dim sum with lots of insight, joy, and dumpling jokes. I had such a fun time in itself and even better I feel like I gained skills and tips I can apply at home to continue on my dim sum journey!
5/5 from Jeff Whitehurst, attended Feb 2026: Fun class, high energy instructor.
5/5 from Ravi Acharya, attended Feb 2026: Very enjoyable, teacher was great. Would recommend.
5/5 from Julia Bender, attended Feb 2026: Such an incredible evening with Will! We learned so much and most importantly had so much fun. Can’t recommend enough. 10/10
5/5 from Emiliana D, attended Feb 2026: What a fun experience! The Dim Sum class was truly enjoyable from start to finish. Teacher Will was fantastic! On time and very clear in his explanations. He made everything easy to follow while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and engaging. We also really appreciated the free drinks and the delicious lunch made with the food we prepared ourselves. It was such a rewarding and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
5/5 from Jonathan, attended Feb 2026: Really enjoyable class. The instructor was very enthusiatic and energetic, creating a nice atmosphere and engaging the whole calss in the format. The food we made was excellent and not overly complicated - meaning I am likely to try it again outside of the class in the future. Overall would recommend.
5/5 from Chi Fai Poon,, attended Jan 2026: It is a great class. We learn something useful and enjoy the dim sum we made. The teacher is professional and funny!
5/5 from Teodora Florea, attended Jan 2026: What a great experience. From the moment we walked in Will made us feel welcome. He delivered the class with humour, knowledge and skill. The food was amazing and has given me the confidence to take my next steps in making more dim sum at home! All the best and hopefully see you soon. Teodora and Liv

5/5 from Astrid Weinmann, attended Jan 2026: Yummy and entertaining
5/5 from Polly van Alstyne, attended Jan 2026: What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The three hours flew by as we learned to make dough and fillings for three kinds of dim sum.

5/5 from Baz & Maisie, attended Jan 2026: A really fantastic afternoon. Will was a brilliant teacher and the Dim Sum was delicious. Highly recommended. Ralph and Maisie
5/5 from Charlotte, attended Jan 2026: I attended the dim sum making class with teacher Will. Will was very friendly and knowledgeable, and explained all the dim sum making steps in an easy to understand way, whilst also making the class fun with jokes. I am vegetarian and was able to have tofu substitutes which was perfect. I would definitely recommend booking!
5/5 from Atsushi Fujimoto, attended Dec 2025: The teacher was amazing and very kind to teach us! We really enjoyed and hope to join other classes as well!

5/5 from Jason Mann, attended Nov 2025: Great class by Will...informative, well structured and fun. The dim sum turn out delicious too. And didnt have to wash up after. Win win. Thanks
1/5 from Shrishti Maharajsingh, attended Nov 2025: Hello, I paid for the class and reached the destination. I waited for 40 mins in the rain, ringing the doorbell but no one answered the door then I called the teacher 6-7 times but it straight went to voicemail despite being there on time. Overall I was really frustrated as they did not even send me a reason for the cancellation or what happened which is really unprofessional.
