Bubble Tea Making Class
Fantastic class! We enjoyed every minute of it. Really informative and a load of fun making something we'd never considered making before (and trying them all afterwards as well!). The teachers were really helpful and enthusiastic and we came away with some delicious drinks. Would definitely recommend this class to everyone and we'll be back to try some of the other classes for sure!

Bubble Tea Workshop: Commercial Training
Simon clearly explained the history and components to make different types of bubble tea, providing many samples to taste and compare.
He was very receptive to questions and answered them fully.
Simon broke down all the requirements into starting a bubble tea business, the costs and ways you could start.
I definitely recommend his class, whatever your experience

Beginners' Sushi Making Class
This was a terrific event. I learned a lot about the history of sushi and even more about what goes into it, and what goes with it. Then we made our own sushi rolls and with some expert tuition my rolls really weren't too bad - a little uneven, perhaps, but still I was pleased with a first-ever effort. Chef was very patient with me at everyktage! Very delicious, and all those I couldn't eat I was able to take home with me. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the class with Simon and Hannah. They are very kind, lovely teachers, and sprinkle in all kinds of extra interesting details about food and culture of Shanghai. You can’t do so much in 90 mins, so a lot was prepared, but we learned some good bao preparation techniques and really enjoyed eating our work at the end! When we come back we will do a longer class for sure.

I was very impressed with all the folklore and history attached to the dumpling lesson and also current developments in Taiwan the home of bubble tea. Well worth taking, I have made great friends with Simon and Hanna under their clear instructions and care. I feel confident to make my own dumplings and bubble tea in the near future.

The class was okay but sadly for me not worth the £70. On the website it says that you will make the dough and prepare the filling etc. i didn’t do any of that as the dough and filling (veggie) were both prepared for me, and all I did was put then in the buns. Don’t get me wrong I got to learn a new skill.
I was the only one there it was over in 50 minutes. Such a shame as I had received this as gift and was SO excited for it and really wanted to try out their tofu class, maybe I will, let’s see.

Making dorayaki and mochi was surprisingly easy and enjoyable. The finished products were looked and tasted superb! Thank you Hannah for teaching me! Your instructions were easy to follow, and your choice of ingredients was excellent! Now that I know how to make mochi at home, I no longer have to buy prepackaged mochi from a shop!

Asian Cooking Class: Dumplings and Wontons
We had the loveliest time cooking dumplings in our class! They were delicious and I was able to take some home as well (which I thoroughly enjoyed the next day!).

Bubble Tea Workshop: Commercial Training
I definitely feel this is worth the money.
Good location and set up.
Simon who led the class was very interactive and informative.
We were a group of four who found it very educational and insightful. We have gone away from the class with confidence of setting up a shop.
Simon was very kind in giving us all details needed to set up a business of bubble tea.

Asian Cooking Class: Dumplings and Wontons
I was lucky enough to book on to the dumpling/wonton class whilst visiting London for work. Simon and Han Yan were welcoming, friendly and most importantly, patient. My first dumplings were terrible but they had definitely improved by the end and they were delicious! I would recommend this class to any dumpling fan and can't wait to recreate them for my family when I get home.

Hannah taught me how to make the pastry for savoury mooncakes, and it turned out it to be very useful for me. I attempted the recipe at home for the Mid Autumn Festival, and the results were delicious. I only wish I had more time to finish that class until the end. Thank you Hannah!

Thank you Simon and Hanna for a very interesting and educational class. I learnt a lot about sushi making ingredients and the history of sushi, and then had the opportunity to make two types of uramaki with salmon/avocado and tempura. Both were delicious!

Myself and my partner had a wonderful time making bao at Class Bento! We were shown very clear instructions, had help with our folding and the end result was a large supply of different Bao. We even got to take some home! We cannot thank them enough for being so accommodating and would recommend this class to anyone looking to leave a new skill. Thanks for having us!

Beginners' Sushi Making Class
Thanks so much to Hannah and Simon for a lovely morning! Both were very welcoming and helpful in our sushi making class. Simon demystified some misconceptions about ingredients for making sushi and then Hannah did a wonderful demonstration for us before we made our own sushi. They even accommodated some dietary requirements, which was great too! The class was held in their shop, which was impeccably clean, and everything was very organised. We would highly recommend

I booked a private class for my wedding anniversary as my husband and daughter are bubble tea fans. My daughter joined too and we all enjoyed it. We have a much better understanding in bubble tea making and very excited to make our first bubble tea at home. Simon and Hanna are very friendly and have taught us a lot in making different types of bubbles and bubble teas. They provided all ingredients and the venue was good. For a private session, I think it was good value and we look forward to future classes.

Wow I had such an amazing time. Simon and Hanna were brilliant, very welcoming and I felt completely relaxed. Both gave me great tips - I made three dishes: Red Bean Dorayaki, Red Bean Mochi and Oreo Cream Mochi. I got given lots of advice on how these fillings could be incorporated into other dishes and also how I could mix 'n' match the desserts in my future cooking to follow the current trends.Wow I had such an amazing time.

Asian Cooking Class: Buns Three Ways
The excess food that we didn't eat at the time, we took home and our family loved it.
My only development point is that it would be good just to know a little more about the preparation of the doughs involved and to see that being done. It was OK being presented with the ingredients in a ready to go state, but it sort of assumes you can make the dough and that, to me, would still be a challenge.

All in all however, a really excellent hour and three quarters of instruction. Will most likely go back and do some more corses.

We had a lovely time with Simon and Hannah. We were served refreshing unlimited green tea and covid precautions were followed religiously. Simon was very knowledgeable about the background and ingredients of the dish. The cooking was very straightforward and tasted delicious. The class itself was an hour rather than an hour and half as advertised. The ingredients came pre cut so had we cut them ourselves it would have taken a bit more time and added to the experience. Following the cooking you have the option to eat your food. Simon and Hannah leftWe had a lovely time with Simon and Hannah.

Will come back for sure!
