What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Kaori

Hannah T.

Chef Karoi was a wonderful teacher at tonight's ramen class! We learned all about how to make the noodles and the process she went through to create the broth. Between the ramen and gyoza, we were stuffed by the end. We will definitely be taking what we learned and recreating the process at home in the future. So if you are interested in what it takes to make flavorful broth and delicious noodles, definitely check out this class. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I had a great time in Kaoris class learning to make ramen and gyoza. The pace of the class was good and the setting was very casual, felt like good old home cooking in the kitchen. We had a nice big bowl of ramen to eat in the end and got to snack on some yummy pork gyoza in between. Kaori was patient and friendly and open to answering questions as we moved along. Would definitely be interested in trying another class in the future with her.

Took the miso ramen class with Chef Kaori, which was a lot of fun! Great beginners class to learn the basics of ramen and making noodles. It made me want to buy a pasta roller so I can make noodles at home all the time...

Chef Kaori's class gave me so many great tips and nuggets of wisdom. I am so excited to know how to make this wonderful dish. Would definitely recommend this clasd to any ramen lover. Simple enough for beginners but contains enough tips for more seasoned home cooks.
