Recent reviews of Japanese Tempura Cooking Class: Crispy Perfection

  • 5/5 from James Grout, attended Oct 2026: The teachers were very friendly and enthusiastic, we both felt great giving something new a try, and the amount of food was very generous! As a point of improvement, the teachers could be a bit less quick to take over, but tempura is quite fiddly with a lot going on at the same time!
  • 3/5 from Stella, attended Aug 2026: It was alright. Wish there was more information about the tempura batter and how different ingredients affect the end result. Also I was hoping for more green veggies rather than the 2 types of mushrooms.
  • 5/5 from Samuel Tietjen, attended Sep 2025: Simon really helped make this simple and easy to follow. So now I’ll be able to replicate in the future very organized and a fun tempura class.
  • 5/5 from Brendon, attended Mar 2024: The experience was amazing Our teacher Simon was really good and extremely personable. We had a good old laugh but also learn alot about the history of tempura. The food we made was delicious and we enjoyed learning together and trying a new experience. It was our 2nd date - and memorable one We both enjoyed the tasting - the cup of tea throughout was a nice touch. We bought some yummy Kimchee aswell. The venue was nice and intimate and we was lucky enough to have Simon to ourselves which my date said was extremely romantic.
  • 5/5 from Janet Brown, attended Jul 2023: It is a great cooking class. We learnt many different ways to make batter and used different ingredients. They are all delicious. Simon also let us taste some their homemade pickles. They are delicious too. We will definitely back to have more classes.

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
