Yahya Bachelani Mar 2024


What a wonderful experience from start to finish! I took my wife here as a birthday treat, and she absolutely loved it!

Before we had even begun the class, Simon was incredibly helpful, understanding and responsive despite myself having lots of questions and enquiries.

The venue was snug, and Simon and Hanna made us very welcome from the moment we arrived. During the Private class, Simon kept us entertained, and also provided us with knowledge upon knowledge regarding the cuisine, and also answered out questions from start to finish.

It was clear that Simon is an expert in this field, and we made some awesome sushi and tempura!

The icing on the cake was the fact that our dietary needs were catered for to the letter.
I would highly recommend Simon and Hanna's classes, they are worth every single penny. Please keep up the amazing work! It was a pleasure.

Teacher's response

Thank you, Yahya, for your glowing review.

Hanna and Simon’s cooking class is an exceptional service. Very nice Chinese tea served once stepped into the shop.
All equipments and ingredients are prepared including clean apron and gloves. The experience was fantastic and worth every penny. After the class, I well understood the history and trends of Sushi now. It is very helpful and interesting for a Sushi lover to have the full image of Sushi development.

Hanna helped and explained every step of sushi making. Not only that, she explained in detail why we use specific items, the pros and cons and how to improve the final results.

I would highly recommend booking with these two lovely people and I am certainly will be back to do another cooking class soon.

We went to the xiaolongbao soup dumpling class led by Simon and Hanna and had a blast. A really lovely blend of historical context, practical skills and of course a delicious dish of food after!

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.

I traveled over 250 miles to attend this training and all I can say was this was a great learning experience from start to finish. It went through all the fundamentals and history behind bubble tea, as well as different methods and processes for making it. I got many great notes and advice for corporate bubble tea making which was amazing, Simon is a top notch trainer and id recommend this to anyone!

Lovely teachers showed us how to make and kneed 2 types of bao dough (add on) then we learnt how to roll, fill, and pleat bao which was a breese with their guidance. All the while they took photos of us we can keep forever and told us the history of bao.

Lovely intimate class with 3 simple but delicious flavours to eat at the end with asian condiments. A great way to spend a birthday!

We did the “Asian cooking class: buns three ways” with Simon and Hannah and had a lovely time! They were very nice and welcoming, and provided all material required for the course. They showed us every step involved in shaping, filling and cooking the different buns, while giving some background information on the history of the cuisine. They accommodated for our specific dietary requirements, which was greatly appreciated. We concluded the course by trying our creations, everything was delicious!

Fun and quick class. Very intimate, it was only us and another 2 people who booked for another class. It was pretty easy to follow along and simple to do. Although it was a good class, I didn't feel like i learned too much and got my money's worth. Steep price of 65 pounds per person for an hour and half, but ended up taking no more than 45 minutes. Hanna and Simon were great and very kind. It just didn't feel worth it for some basic sushi.

Beginners' Sushi Making Class review by Anonymised ClassBento student - London

Teacher's response

Thank you, dear customer, for your feedback.

We appreciate your kind words about the class and our instructors. We are sorry to hear that you felt the class was overpriced for the amount of time and content provided. We will take your feedback into consideration and work on improving the value we offer in our classes.

You took 45 minutes to make the sushi. Because there was only you two in the sushi class. Certainly you both confident and with good kitchen skills. It contributed to your speed of making sushi.

The estimated time is including eating the food. As how to eat the food is also party of the learning. We do put the time more than usually needed in the description. It is to allow plenty time for every customer. In some occasion, we had customers spent more than 2 hours still could not get the results. We allow edthem to finish with whatsoever time they needed without extra charge. Your class starts at 7pm sharply and you left at around 8:30pm. Therefore it was a 90-minutes service for you.

We hope you still enjoyed the experience and had fun creating sushi. Thank you for choosing our class, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Simon and Hanna's bubble tea making class was great! I went with my 2 daughter's (aged 12 and 14) who LOVE bubble tea and they were so amazed that they could make something themselves that they thought was delicious. Both Simon and Hanna were full of information and stories and although we had not booked a private class, as it was just the 3 of us it felt like a really special private session. Thanks so much Simon and Hanna - I love that you have made such a wonderful business sharing your love of cooking and creating. Highly recommend this to all x

Fantastic morning making Chinese pancakes with Hannah and Simon at their cookery school in Tufnell Park. They were an absolute delight and so knowledgeable on the history of food in China and more widely in south east Asia.

We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and loved every second of it. Simon and Hanna were great teachers and very helpful. The venue was quiet and cozy, with only one other couple working alongside us. Simon and Hanna provided all the materials needed for us to get started. We were also greeted with a handcrafted bubble cocktail each - which was a lovely extra option. We got to make and try a great selection of buns that we enjoyed tasting after the class. Overall, the experience was exceptional and we would recommend this class to anyone. This was our first time going to a cooking class and we look forward to seeing what other classes they offer!

Hanna and Simon provided such exceptional service as soon as stepped into the building. They offered us tea and a place to sit whilst providing us clean aprons and gloves.

Great cooking experiment, highly recommend it.
Hanna and Simon are lovely and explain everything with a lot of detail and fun. They also provide everything you need from the ingredients to the jars for you to then take everything you prepared back home. Also, as I'm pregnant they made sure I had a comfortable seat and helped me cut the veggies and massage them so I wasn't too tired.

The venue was very clean and tidy. I went home with 5 different types of fermented veggies :D

Aaliyah Dec 2023


I found this class by accident after having booked a birthday surprise elsewhere which got cancelled. It left me searching for a replacement gift for my partner at the last minute.
I wasn't sure if this class would be that professional, since it was based in a little shop rather than a large scale kitchen.
Since Hannah and Simon were very responsive to all of my queries, and even catered to my gluten free dietary requirements, I had a good vibe the place.
I decided to go for the private class, as I could choose a custom date and time for the Birthday surprise.
The venue was very easy to find and it looked really eye catching and colourful on the outside. I think it must have had some refurbishments since it looked more modern than it appears on Google Maps.
Upon arrival we were welcomed into the class by Simon. He was very witty and enthusiastic.
I was surprised how it looked on the inside in comparisson to what I imagined. It was much more spacious, lovely and clean and full of character.
My partner and I recently did a pottery making class, so it was nice that Simon showed us some of his pottery work before we got started on the class.
I assumed that we would get stuck right in to making food, but we had an insight into the history of Sushi and all the different types of rice.
We learnt so much from the class, and not just the practical side.
It was great to see how passionate Simon was about his teaching and different types of food.
He really made the day a special one and throughout the whole class Simon was entertaining as well as knowledgable.
We would certainly come back again for other classes.

Thank you very much, Aaliyah, for the wonderful review!

We are thrilled to hear that you and your partner had a great time with us.
We did a lot art work with the posters outside the shop. It is Hanna's talent and passions. Inside shop is Simon's work built the long table to hold the classes and all other fixtures. Very glad you like the cosy and light atomesphere we purposely created.

It is our pleasure to having you on the special day for you and your partner. Glad you enjoyed the whole class including the sushi making and the history behind them.

I made few bubble cocktails and a Japanese souffle cheesecake with Hanna and Simon. Time simply flew by and the outcomes were amazing. I'm not much of a cocktail expert or a baker to begin with. But they'll teach you some terrific tricks in terms of presentation and taste. Go for it if you live close by.

Teacher's response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review, Sindhuja.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks as well as the cake. They are the best combination to treat yourself. Therefore we designed the add-ons in this way. Certainly you spot it spontaneously.

Marcea Decker Dec 2023


I gifted a private cooking lesson (Chinese Vegan Class with Aubergine) to my partner for his birthday - it was a delightful and fun way to celebrate and learn something new together. Hanna & Simon were very knowledgable, kind, funny, and very welcoming to us from the second we walked in! We learned some basic knife skills to properly prepare the dish, learned in depth about the ingredients used, as well as the dish's history. Plus - what we made was delicious! I'd highly recommend any of Simon & Hanna's classes to anyone!

Teacher's response

Thank you, Marcea, for your lovely review!

Alberto de Bortoli Dec 2023


My girlfriend and I tried out a sushi cooking class with Simon and Hanna and it was a pretty cool experience! The chefs were laid-back and made the whole thing easy to follow and very enjoyable!

Got hands-on with making sushi rolls and tempura, and it was more fun than we expected. The ingredients were fresh and everything was clean. We then ate most of it and there was enough left to fill a tupperware to bring home. We now feel like we can make sushi without messing it up too badly :D

Totally recommended as a birthday gift or just for a nice experience.

Georgia Mancey Dec 2023


I bought this experience for my partner and I for his birthday and we both had an amazing time.
Simon and Hanna were fantastic teachers and very knowledgeable about the types of buns we were making and the history of different cooking techniques etc.
Our class was on a Monday so we ended up having a private class for just the two of us & had a great time learning techniques of how to make and cook the buns. They taught us about the different ingredients and why they are used, and also emailed us a full recipe after the class, along with pictures of us making, cooking and eating the buns (which were really really tasty and filling!)
We are planning to come back for a different class in the new year, it was a great experience all round and I would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys eating or making Asian food.

Teacher's response

Thank you, Georgia, for your wonderful review!

We are thrilled to hear that you and your partner had an amazing time at our cooking class. Simon and Hanna are indeed fantastic teachers, and we're glad they were able to share their knowledge about the different types of buns and cooking techniques with you.

This class was amazing! I took my mum for her birthday. Communication was amazing as I had a few questions before I booked. The day was amazing. There was a little raffle at the start where we won some of their homemade pickle that we got to try when we were eating our dumplings. The teachers helped us so much with little things we needed to do when wrapping. I would highly recommend this class! It was worth the 2.5 hour drive. Thank you Simon and Hanna ☺️

Andy Lau Oct 2023


This is a very interesting class.
We are new to the pickled veg world. Simon's class gave us lots of ideas. Every vegetable can be pickled. We learned to make three most popular pickles. On top of that, we tasted many different ones Simon made himself. And they are available to purchase as well.

Very eager to try the ones we made ourselves. Hope they will be same delicious as Simon made.

Sandy Adams Oct 2023


We had a wonderful time with Hanna and Simon.
We had very nice tea with their handmade snacks. The pork mooncake is the best I ever had before. Bring the best memory from China.

The charcoal baked oolong tea is the best among the three types of tea we tasted. The jasmin green tea is also very refreshing. Simon showed us how they baked and roasted the tea leaves themselves. It opened up our mind. We can actually add flavours to the tea bought from shops. Cannot wait to try it at home as well.

Very relax and enjoy the tasting experience. Strongly recommend to all tea lovers.

A very delicious tea tasting. In fact, it is well exceeded our expectation.
We love Chinese tea very much and have been to many tea tastings in London. This is the true gem.

Hanna prepared 3 different types of tea for us. Explained the origin, process methods and the history about them. Each tea served with hand brew and hand made snacks. The crispy flower desserts are the top crown jewel. Very beautiful and very delicious. We want to come back to learn to make them.

The nuts snacks and snow-flake nougat, Simon made for us, are also very nice. He shared his recipe with us as well. We bought some after the class as the simple recipe requires a lot time to make.

Highly recommend, for the tea, for the handmade snacks and their enthusiasm.

One of the best team outings we’ve done in a while! Simon and Hanna’s passion, skill and enthusiasm for what they do really made the whole event. We learned to make three types of dumpling which we enjoyed eating at the end with provided condiments - the crispy chilli oil is the bomb!

Thanks for a wonderful evening.

A very tasty cocktail making class.
The ideas are very interesting. We made three drinks which are very beautiful and tasty.
The drinks well combining traditional cocktails and fashion bubble tea together. They are not strong with alcohol. Therefore suitable for team building or a fun activity after work.
We also learnt to make some snacks with nuts. They are simple but very delicious. Must say they added tastes to the drinks as well.

Very interesting cooking class with nice tutor, Hanna.
Along with mochi, we added bubble tea cake and souffle pancake. The class is well organised with all ingredients provided. We just simply follow Hanna's instruction. The results come beautifully and very delicious.

This is an amazing cooking class.
Plenty to learn and to eat as well.
We learnt the secrets behind this popular dessert in China. It is great we can make them at home just before the Mid-autumn festival. We bought some molds used in the class so we can make more different patterns at home.
Very comfortable shop with only two of us. We had plenty time to learn and make our own mooncakes. We ate some and took the rest home.
Cannot recommend it enough to everyone who loves this dessert.

Very fun class!
Simon taught us many creativity drinks combining bubble tea and cocktail concept. We definitely had a great time creating and drinking. Simon's drinking snacks are also taste wonderful.

This class was a great experience and the girls really enjoyed learning how to make the buns from scratch, first the dough then the fillings then the steaming or pan frying. Hanna, the teacher was first class, kind and welcoming but above all very patient which with teenagers is a real plus point for Hanna, thank you.
We made and cooked two sizes of buns and then we were able to eat them with Hanna's homemade pickles kimchi and radish (you can buy to take home too) which were excellent.
The location is a little out of town, near Archway, but easy to find and there are 4 hour parking bays close by too. The classes are held in a professional catering kitchen, very well equipped and respecting all hygiene rules. We were provided with aprons and all the ingredients to follow the class.

This is a wonderful experience with Hanna. She is very nice and patient with us. Our cooking skill probably below average. Hanna taugh us very well. She demonstrates first and let us practice with her instructions.

The tomato and egg dish is very surprised. It looks nice and tastes good too. Never had anything like that before. However Hanna says it is the most common dish in China.

The time passed very quick. We managed to cook 4 dishes and had very full belly after eating them all. We will definitely be back for more classes.

Brian Cooker Sep 2023


This is a truly amazing cooking class.
We learnt to make flower-shape steamed dumpling. The taste and the looking says it all. This is an luxury Dim Sum. Requires skills and patience to make.
We are pleased the results although not good as Hanna and Simon made. We will practice more at home.
Definitely a wonderful cooking class to recommend to our friends.

I attended Simon's Mochi class before. This should be an advanced class. It has four layers to wrap. We started very mess but managed well at the end. Happy to have perfect ones made by ourselves.
Very nice cooking class in a clean and air-conditioned shop. Very nice tea served in the class and we bought some tea leaves after the class. Simon told us they toasted the leaves themselves as well. They also sell nice pickles they made.

100% recommend the class to every one. We will take their other classes soon.

Teacher's response

Thank you, Peter, for your wonderful review and recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our advanced Mochi class and had a great experience wrapping the four layers. It's always satisfying when we start a bit messy but manage to create perfect ones in the end.

So pleased I can make the running Custard filling by myself now.
It is the most difficult one I learnt since I make Chinese desserts more than 10 years ago.
Hanna guided us step by step very clearly. We love the taste. It is not too sweet as bought from shops.
Definitely will make again at home and definitely will be back to attend other cooking classes.

It is a great fun cooking class to catch up colleagues back from holidays.

Simon is very kind, patient and knowledgeable. He showed us how to make the basic mooncake. Then encouraged us every one to make a few. Once we managed well, he showed us how to mix colour and make more beautiful mooncakes. We all enjoyed the class and the mooncakes are very delicious.

Definitely recommend to every one. Does not matter whether you are beginners or experts in Asian cooking. This is the class absolutely should not be missed.

This is an amazing cooking class. In fact we are still eating the Moon-cakes now in Simon's shop.
It is a very delicious meat pie with crispy pastry. We made the pastry ourselves. It is a hard work. But it worth the efforts when we tasted the final result.
While waiting for the Moon-cakes baking in oven. Hanna explained the history behind the Moon-cakes, the fairy tales and fiction stories are all very interesting.
What a great cooking class. Learning cooking skills as well as history and culture behind.

A great experience, lots of fun and very educational.

Hanna is a an excellent teacher. Very kind and patient and clear in her instructions. I felt I could make this dish again on my own without difficulty as she broke down the steps so well. She also has a huge amount of knowledge about Chinese cuisine in general which she shared.

The venue is easy to find and all the ingredients and utensils are provided and the evening classes are very convenient for people who work. The hour and and a half class is more than enough time to learn how to prepare the dish and to enjoy eating it afterwards.

Definitely a very good cooking class. Hannah's homemade pork filling is very delicious. We learnt the secrets behind the tasty fillings and will definitely try it at home as well.
We made dumplings and wontons and ate all of them. It is very full but too delicious not to eat them all.
Also Simon gave us the history behind all these food. It is very helpful to understand the topic.

It is a very fun class.

We shall bring our children here more often.

Jacqueline Rosendahl Aug 2023


It was a great experience. Interesting to learn a cooking style from a complete different culture. Our teachers Simon and Hannah were so kind and taught us the history of wontons and dumplings. The location was easy to find and the venue was cute and well air conditioned! They took some lovely photos of us that we get to keep as a memory!
Only downer was the fact that we didn’t get to make the dough nor the filling as it was £15 add ons each. So for the price it was quite a lot to just fold a few and then eat. But still very enjoyable. Very yummy. They sent recipe as well on email.
Would definitely recommend!

Asian Cooking Class: Dumplings and Wontons review by Jacqueline Rosendahl - London

Teacher's response

Thank you very much, Jacqueline, for your great review!

We're thrilled to hear that you had an interesting and enjoyable experience learning about a different cooking style. Simon and Hannah are indeed wonderful teachers, and their knowledge of the history of wontons and dumplings adds an extra layer to the class.

We're glad you liked the location and found the venue cute and comfortable. It's great to know that the air conditioning was effective in keeping you cool during the class. The fact that they took photos for you to keep as a memory is a sweet touch.

We understand your point about the additional cost for making the dough and filling. We are doing every thing we can to provide customers the best value for money. It is a solution we could provide at the current economic environment. Hopefully things get better in the future thus the charge will be lower soon.

It's fantastic that you found the food very yummy, and we hope you enjoy trying out the recipe that was sent to you via email.

This is the advanced Mochi class followed Simon's suggestion. My children learnt a lot from thoroughly explaination and guidance in details. Of course they love the beautiful Snow-Skin Moon-cakes more than the basic mochis.
Definitely a great cooking class for teenagers to learn deep knowledge in Asian food culture and history.

We had very good time with Hanna.
Hanna's knowledge in Chinese tea helped us to understand this fascinating topic.

While tasting her carefully brewed tea, we also had nuts and dried fruits made by the owner couple. They are very delicious and never had somewhere else. They certainly made the three types of tea more tasty. They said it was the way serving in 10th century in China. Wow, what a great experience had time travelling with Hanna!

Also want to mention, the tea sets used in the class is very beautiful. We bought a set and some tea after the class. It is very handy they have a little shop.

This is an wonderful event for my teenager daughters birthday.
It is great to have Simon over our home to hold the class, as it is hard for me to travel with 6 teenagers.
Simon taught them very well and made them concentrate on making dumplings. It is a big surprise that they kept quietly and productively at the same time.
The dumplings came out very delicious. And Simon left us lot of fillings and doughs so we made more after the class as well.
Definitely recommend this class to every one and we will absolutely book more classes with him as well.

Teacher's response

Thank you very much, Jenny, for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review!

We love this cooking class 100%. We will definitely recommend this cooking class to every one.
It is hard to find decent Korean food in London and this is the only gem business teaching Korean food in authentic ways. As we went to the class with very minimum cooking skills. Hanna and Simon are very patient and helped us through all the stage. Very impressed by Simon's knife skills. Wish we can do that one day.

Very impressive cooking class. Very pleased customers as we are.
We tried many time to make this cake at home but ended up with failure all the time. So glad someone is teaching this in London.
We now managed well and received Hannah's secret recipe. They also teach us two different flavours as we going as a pair.
Very patient teacher. Very clean shop. Very good cooking class.

This is yet another class we attended. Hanna and Simon are wonderful teachers as always.

My daughter loves bubble tea but I don't have any idea of it. Hanna explained the changing of the drinks made me interested in the topics.

We made our own boba balls with real ingredients. It is very easy and I will make them again at home. Then we made three different drinks. They are really delicious. And surprised by daughter even she drank a lot before.

Strongly recommend the class to any one loves bubble tea.

Ed Gyurko Jun 2023


Simon and Hanna teach an incredibly fun and educational Beginners’ Sushi Making class. This class is a special gem and I’m recommending it to everyone.

Before I took the class, I had prepared myself for disappointment. The class was gifted to me and I’m an OK home cook. To my surprise, the class takes place in a one-of-a-kind shop that makes its own ingredients. (I couldn’t leave without buying homemade pickled ginger, pickled daikon, and chilli oil. I don't know any other shop in London that offers similar homemade items.)

Simon and Hanna taught me how to make my own delicious salmon and avocado roll and tempura prawn roll. I plan to use the cooking techniques at home so that I can make sushi for my family.

The best part of the class is that you can eat your mistakes :)

Beginners' Sushi Making Class review by Ed Gyurko - London

Teacher's response

Thank you, Ed, for sharing your wonderful experience with our Beginners' Sushi Making class.

It's great to hear that the class exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed unique homemade ingredients at the shop.

See you again soon.

We are here celebrating our anniversary. We booked two classes together. They are both wonderful.

We will definitely come back again soon to learn some DimSum skills.

Lovely and friendly couple. Hannah was a very motivating teacher and made making mochi simple and easy to follow. They provided us with a large variety of fillings too other than the conventional red bean paste (we got mango and strawberry jam which was a pleasant surprise!).

Sarah Eden Jun 2023


My 12 year old son is interested in cooking but doesn't like learning his parents' skills - teenagers amirite? The 2-hour course with Hanna and Simon was perfect for him. They had high standards, which was challenging, but they were patient and encouraging. The buns three ways came out delicious which was a great reward and my son was very proud of himself. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this, good communication prior to the class via email and with ingredients to purchase and prep to do prior. Teacher was encouraging and taught us some great tips. Would really recommend!

James McKinney Jun 2023


My cook enthusiast son really enjoyed the class. Chef Simon was very patient with my son’s numerous questions and limited kitchen skills. The meals they prepared were delicious, as we were able to have a taste when we collected him. Simon shared the recipes and practical videos to help my son continue to practice his skills. Great class, great value.

Holly Tyler May 2023


We had a great time making buns three ways. The instructions were really clear and they were on hand to help the whole time. They also explained lots of the history and everything about the buns. It was very tasty and we had lots to take away as well as eat fresh.
Would happily go back and do another course there, maybe the kimchi one as that was delicious!

John Gaughen Apr 2023


Absolutely exceptional experience. Ideal for both novice and more advanced home bakers. Instructors are clear, detailed, and patient. One of the best things is that they make a point of stopping through the recipe prep to observe and recognize what it should look like at that stage. Immaculate well stocked and equipped classroom. Instructors have you employ French baking techniques throughout which you can carryover into your other baking activities and troubleshooting. The highlight of my London visit and can’t wait to try out the techniques at home. Outstanding in every way

Zaynah Muthy Apr 2023


I brought my husband here for a class as a birthday treat, we enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back again! Simon was so friendly and knowledgeable and helped us feel (at least a bit!) skilled at making sushi Simon was also super accommodating which made the experience so much better. Thank you

Rupal Shah Apr 2023


I came across Simons class by chance online, and I’m so glad I did!
He was very friendly and welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the origins and history of bubble tea.

When I arrived the premises was spotless and everything was already laid out ready to go

He took me through each chosen cocktail step by step explaining the difference in all the alcohol contents and flavour combinations

The homemade roasted peanuts and caramel cashews were a definite highlight!

Already looking forward to booking my next class soon

The best sushi course in London! I took my boyfriend for his birthday and it was a success. We learned a lot and Simon and Hanna was the best. Highly recommend!

Helena Baker-Green Apr 2023


Simon & Hannah were super friendly and knowledgeable. The history behind the dishes and the process of creating the buns was fantastic. We all enjoyed ourselves and made enough buns to take away. We were kept well hydrated with Jasmine tea and were pleased to be able to purchase ingredients to take home. Thank you.

Manjit Singh Apr 2023


Simon was absolutely brilliant and knowledgeable.

We started off with basic origin knowledge of tea which i thought was not related to my course but little that i knew that the history lesson will turn out to very useful and gave me alot of knowledge on what to love about tea.

Simon went into soo much detail about the process in the easiest way possible. He is very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. He made teas which i never even heard about and which should definitely be on the menu.

Worth every penny spent.

Tomiwa Oke Apr 2023

An absolute joy!

I booked for a Monday afternoon and it was just my boyfriend and me in attendance.
It was such an enjoyable class and a vegan filling had been prepared for the dumplings (which was delicious).

I loved hearing about the history of China and the stories behind the cuisine and country. Simon and Hanna are so welcoming and patient. They are both really quite charming and it was a great way to start the week.

Looking forward to booking more classes here soon!

We learned a lot about the history of the dish as well as how to prepare it step by step, and we came away feeling confident about making it at home, which is exactly what you want from a cooking class! I'm vegan and my partner eats meat and they were super helpful in guiding us through the different steps for each variation. Also they have some great produce on sale – I can't wait to try the homemade crispy chili oil :) Thank you Simon and Hanna! We'll definitely be back again.

He came back buzzing and just said the teachers were so kind and helpful, he learned so much and it was an amazing experience. He was a bit nervous at first but the teachers made him feel so at ease. He ate the food he made with them as he was having such a good time and they helped him shop for the same ingredients so he could authentically make something at home. Would absolutely book again.

The venue was super cozy and kept clean which we appreciated. We also did the sake tasting, which was a fun way to end our session.

Would definitely go back for some of their other classes. Thank you

Kobe Gutierrez Sep 2022


The experience was overall really good Getting to try the sushi first and then being able to make two rolls was really fun. The venue made it feel very cosy and intimate, and I think that added a lot to the experience. Simon and Hanna were both so nice I felt like learning about sushi from theoretical perspective was interesting at first but then the historical side of it was a less engaging. But overall would TOTALLY recommend, it was a really
fun experience and the food was great Plus, I actually know how to make sushi now

Simon is an absolutely incredible teacher, the time flew by and I learned an insane amount of necessary information to be able to make it in this business. Everything he taught me has completely changed my preconceptions about how to run my future business, from things like suppliers and ingredients to making your own bubbles and marketing it. I went from being scared and knowing nothing to feeling confident enough to want to open up shop tomorrow!

I also can't wait to give sushi making another go. Think we have found a place to get those difficult to find ingredients. Highly recommend, it was an absolutely fantastic experience.

Aashna Shaikh Jul 2022


This was a lovely experience which we’d definitely recommend Simon and Hanna were lovely hosts :) We got to learn lots about the origins of ingredients, cooking methods, names, and more. The food was absolutely delicious, and was catered well to the vegetarian requirement. Would love to come back for a cooking class with them!

Hadi Hadi Jul 2022


Thank you for the couple it was indeed a nice cooking class lots of information
Thank you for the hospitality

Rhiannon Coleman Jul 2022


Both Simon and his wife were absolutely fantastic. They were so welcoming and friendly and their class was great. I picked the class because of the reviews and I was right to do so! They were knowledgable and told us all about the history and culture of Japanese food as well as talking through the main Sushi ingredients. The hands on sushi making experience was fantastic and the sushi we made was delicious. There was more than enough to bring home and enjoy later as well. I can’t recommend this class enough and will be back for some of their delicious cooking and more classes in the future.

The teachers greeted us warmly and welcomed us in for the class.

It was very informative as well as fun.

There were so many type of bubble tea to try.

I would defiantly recommend this class for groups or families.

Would definitely recommend this class to everyone and we'll be back to try some of the other classes for sure!

Denise Johnson May 2022


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

We would definitely do another class with Simon.

Milly Newham May 2022


Delicious food and great hosts. We discussed the stories behind each of the dishes. I would highly recommend this experience.

Humphrey Price Apr 2022


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.

Danilo Villegas Apr 2022


Simon & Hanna were very nice and friendly, they teach you every detail. I recommend them 100%

Carina McWhinnie Apr 2022

Tuesday Reitano Apr 2022


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.

Jordon Thompson Apr 2022


Would definitely recommend! Simon and Hanna were lovely, personable and delightful. The materials were provided and they were very helpful teaching us the techniques. The food was really delicious!

Natalie Curran Apr 2022


Hanna and Simon were great! They were so friendly and accommodating and we learnt so much. We had a private class for two because we were able to go mid week so we really got the chance to learn how to perfect the buns we made, which were all delicious! Hanna offered her amazing homemade fillings and dips too.
I would really recommend this class.

John Cho Apr 2022


It was very helpful and Mr Simon was very friendly. You will be able to try lots of drinks and learn how to make your own tapioca balls and drinks.
Make sure you bring a hoody or something to wear when it gets cold(when you are doing 5 hour session) as you will be surrounded by fridges and cold shelves.

Amar Suchde Apr 2022


Great class! Simon and hannah were amazing and really spent their time creating a great experience for me and my partner! We cooked Katsu curry from scratch and now we can do this at home! Highly recommend

I learnt a great deal on my dumpling and bubble tea course. It was a great combination to choose together. 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.

Lydia Waller Apr 2022


Hannah and Simon were brilliant teachers, incredibly patient and friendly. It was just me in the class and they filled the room with their warmth and knowledge, answering all my questions and stepping in to help when I needed some extra guidance. I had such a lovely afternoon with them and feel confident to go home and make some steamed buns for myself and friends! They made me feel very at home, offering delicious green tea and homemade condiments to go with our buns. The venue was very clean and all the equipment made the class very easily to follow. Can’t recommend this class enough.

Great class offered as present to my 10 years old. She thoroughly enjoyed it and is keen to make dumpling for the whole family on her own. Simon and his wife explained the steps really well and and have been assisting all along to help us "mastering" the technique. We ate the food at the end and it was just delicious.

Cute shop made restaurant made classroom, class of 4 so plenty of space so watch Hanna without crowding. Both Simon and Hanna are knowledgeable, warm and friendly people. Patient teachers, attentive and encouraging. My friend and I went to learn to make dumplings and wonton and we learnt exactly that! Doses and recipe sent directly for future reference. We cooked and we ate the food which was abundant and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We will be back for the Bao dumplings and Buns! The shop all sells all the essentials for you to take home which I find is excellent to get started right away! We loved the atmosphere and the teaching style!

Sarah Perkin Feb 2022


From the moment we arrived, Simon and Hanna were kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Through good humour and patience they taught us the history of sushi, how to select rice, and then did a demonstration (which we ate) before letting us loose. They were very sensitive to dietary needs, and on the whole a delight to spend an evening with. My friend are I are both keen to go back for another class. If you want to learn how to make sushi, this is the way to do it - great evening out *and* supporting a local business!

Jyoti Sonagara Feb 2022


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.
Also I think there’s an error on the website as I chose a 1:30 class and then it clashed with another class at the same time and was asked if I can be moved to 4:30.

Hanna and simon were very friendly and showed us how to make Doriaki and Mochi with home made jams fresh fruits and cream. Also red bean paste I'd highly recommend this class hopefully they will do more desert class and perhaps some main dishes or Noodle dishes. What fun. Thank you very much.

Chris Rose Feb 2022


Went as a valentines day thing, Simon and Hannah were great, fun, very friendly helpful. A really nice couple, all clean and highly recomend

Lessons were easy and lots of tips and opportunities to practice in their shop.

Learned to make nice yummy foods. to take home. It was only us two which helped for attention. Looking forward to going again.

Go by public transport, parking not good in the area but thats no fault of theirs, its near tube stations and lots of busses
But do note when there are two things to make you only get to do one each rather than learn one then learn the other but there was some crossover goes at the later stages of both.

Looking forward to going back and learning more yummy food

Aysha Almansoori Feb 2022


The teacher was very passionate, friendly, informative, and great.
The venue was well prepared and had all the requirements.

The course was informative and the teacher had a lot of experience on how to save in this business , being cost effective, and how to manage operations on a small scale.

Plus you get to know where you can order supplies and how to spend wisely on supplies (including alternatives if you run out of ingredients or supplies).

Learned how to prepare, store and cook Tapioca and several types of bubble tea [milk based, tea based, fruit based, and other].

Learned how to make cream cheese as well and how to control milk & tea density for flavorful bubble tea.

The Milk Tea Chiffon Cake was amazing, the Black Sugar Milk Tea and Strawberry Green Tea were so yummy Must learn !

Takeaways: Manage Operations, Cost Saving, Equipment and Proper Inventory Storage. How to make a Return on Investment. The different possibilities and potential Bubble tea has whether in drinks or dessert !

You can learn a lot if you want to start a small bubble tea business with less risk.

Thank you

Monique Neal Feb 2022


Hanna and Simon were very patient and thorough. The lesson was well thought out and everyone in my group ( 2 adults and 2 teens) left feeling that they could successfully prepare the recipes at home. Reflecting the Year of the Tiger, we made special tiger-striped dumplings using two different colours of dough. I would highly recommend this class: it was both fun and productive.

Thank you Simon and Hannah!

Mark Beautyman Feb 2022


Hanna was great, clear and informative, great experience. Before the lesson it took us a wee bit of time to read the instructions and quantities to ensure we had done the preparation. On the day great fun and will be cooking bao soon again at home. Thanks Hanna ❤️❤️

Highly recommended and well worth it as they share the recipe for your newly learnt skills to make it at home.They also have different Asian supplies as well incase you want to pick up something.

Myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the Sushi making class Simon and Hanna ran - they are a lovely couple, with so much knowledge to share, and are very natural teachers. We learnt lots more than expected about the ingredients, ate more sushi than we expected, and it tasted delicious! Multiple cups of Jasmine tea on a really cold night were also a nice touch. I thought the class was good value for money as it was just us, and the the portions were generous. Looking forward to trying out our new skills at home now!

Robert Perdue Nov 2021


The class was such a good time. I can’t wait to try the recipes now that I know the secret ingredient to making proper Chinese dumplings…it’s Chinese dumpling flour…don’t tell anyone, okay?

The instructors were so good and kind. I kept messing it up and they kept encouraged me to try again and with their help I kept getting better. They talked to me all about the other ingredients, too. And explained some things about Chinese food culture. I can’t wait to make the fried dumplings And next time I’m in London I’ll take another class for sure

Ok, the main thing is that we have had a great experience and have already booked another class!

The venue was clean, well-lit and welcoming. It was easy to find and we felt welcome as soon as we walked through the door.

Simon and Hannah explained everything very clearly and were on hand throughout to explain and demonstrate the techniques we were going to be using.

The session was unhurried but kept moving with new information or things to do. Everything we needed was provided from aprons to rolling mats. and was clean and in good condition.

This class was great value for money and as they offer lots of other classes we are looking forward to going back soon.

The class was very informative, with ample opportunity to learn about the different types of bubble teas.

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!

The class was amazing, very interactive and the teachers were hilarious. Best not to eat afterwards though the amount of sushi you get to eat is nuts! Overall a great experience and a lovely activity to do. Will be back soon.

Nancy Speller Sep 2021


Fantastic class. I’d recommend this to everyone looking to learn the basis of sushi making. It was lovely to be able to relax with a bottle of sake and enjoy our sushi after we had made it. Thanks again!

Talya Trakman Sep 2021


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

He is extremely knowledgeable, open and honest.
I would definitely recommend this course! Thank you for having us Simon.

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. Thank you for the amazing session today! (*^_^*)

Saffron Wingad Aug 2021


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. I had so much fun and will definitely be returning for future classes! Highly recommend.

The workshop was great! Lovely couple who were giving the private workshop on making sushi. Very interesting backstory of where sushi comes from. Definitely a workshop to sign up for!

M Swift Aug 2021


We had a fabulous time. Learnt loads. But possibly could have been advertised as a demonstration rather than a cooking session?

Lovely husband and wife team.

The class was enjoyable, as I learnt to make three different kinds of bao. The end result was absolutely delicious! The couple who taught the class were very friendly and knowledgeable, and explained the method very clearly. I had fun talking to them while eating the prepared bao. Highly recommended!

Paul Emmanuel Aug 2021


It was a fun lesson. Simon and Hannah were very patient.
We would love to try different classes.

Muriel Antwi Aug 2021


The teacher is friendly and knowledgeable. He explains well for you to understand and gives you ideas on how to start your business. I am glad I went for the class. Venue is good

Cathryn Cust Aug 2021


Great class! I’m veggie, so did the 3 course tofu and it was so authentic and informative. Super enjoyable, tasty food and really knowledgeable teacher. Thank you Simon for a fab afternoon!

Simon Chicane Aug 2021


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.
Thanks!

Mehvish Raza Aug 2021


Great class! Very interactive and lots of information was provided about the ingredients and history of sushi making. Both teachers were very nice and made the experience good fun. I would only recommend doing another class as the second sushi making is the same as the first so youre just repeating! Overall was great :)

Paul Kellers Aug 2021


We had fun and learned a lot. Very patient informed teaching. I would recommend this class .

Pasca Jones-Owen Jul 2021


This was a birthday treat for my partner and we had SO MUCH FUN! It was a really enjoyable class, very informative and we were lucky that it was just us two in the class to great to have 1:1 tuition. The teachers explained everything very clearly and were very friendly. Will definitely be doing a class here again!

The experience was fantastic! Both hosts were so lovely, open, and knowledgeable about the culinary traditions and history. The food was delicious and we greatly enjoyed it.

Llinos Emanuel Jul 2021


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 left us to it and sat in the corner on their phones. Again it would have added to the experience had they chatted to us some more or played some music. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this class to Kung Po Chicken lovers.

Henry Adams Jul 2021


We had a great time making dumplings and wontons. The instructors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Chinese cooking and culture.

Simon-Pierre Jul 2021


The intro class was useful, well-balanced (across cultural info, cooking tricks, actual sushi prep, eating). Hanna and Simon were very friendly and great teachers!

The teachers were lovely, very friendly and encouraging and gave very clear instructions, all while explaining the history of sushi and the ingredients! The sushi we made was delicious and fresh, and even more importantly we feel confident to make them ourselves at home now. Thank you!

Lara Ciucci Jul 2021


I had a great time at Simon’s class - they were personable and knowledgable (about the food and about the history of it too). The class was very hands on and we got to enjoy it at the end too! Would highly recommend.

Valerie Razafimahatratra Jul 2021


I had a private class with Simon and his wife and they taught me so much historically and practically about tapioca pearls, tapioca sweet potatoes etc.
We did the most popular bubble tea: brown sugar milk tea, and a dessert.
They are so nice, and happy that i really enjoyed my time!

Will come back for sure!

Absolutely amazing! Simon and Hannah are so welcoming, friendly, and cooked four amazing dishes along with us. Will definitely be cooking these dishes again in the future. We did the online class, which was immersive and fun. We hope to get the chance to do anoher course with them in the future as well. Highly recommended!

We had a good evening learning how to make sushi rolls with Simon and team. Communication was good, our ingredients were delivered to us in advance and we made some tasty sushi.
