Chef Thaung Lin made us a wonderful meal of Burmese cuisine and it was lovely having him guide us through the ingredients and dishes. He also made extra dishes for us to enjoy. Highly recommend for any occasion!

Chef Tong was very thoughtful, full of stories, and informative! We appreciated the substitutions he made for some dietary restrictions and absolutely loved the food! We learned a lot. Thank you, Chef!

We took the Spectacular Southeast Asian Fare class and we learned so many things about the various asian cuisines. Chef Thaung was super knowledgeable, professional and taught us great techniques in the kitchen. The class was super engaging and my guests loved the experience. He had explained that he had taught students for several decades and it clearly shows. He is a seasoned teacher and I appreciated him sharing his wealth of knowledge. Thank you Chef Thaung!!

Fantastic experience learning from Chef Yan! It was a fun evening learning all about Burmese cuisine. I would definitely recommend anyone to take one of Chef Yan's classes, he is not only a great teacher but he is just so fast and swift in the kitchen. He taught us, cooked with us and cleaned up after himself so nicely. What a great evening! Thank you!

Outstanding evening. We had 16 people in our class and Chef Yan did a great job prepping and managing the various stations. Also, he had adjusted the menu by request so we could accommodate for a few allergies and special diets. The food was delicious and we were stuffed at the end of it. My friends are still raving about the evening.

Thank you for an awesome night Chef! He gave us lots of substitute items for ingredients that we don't have on hand or can't find in stores. Always nice to be able to find a substitute, especially for someone with lots of allergies.
