Cooking Class - Quintessential Chinese Cooking

Very good hosting and Chef Wen's son is also very cool

Chef Wen went above and beyond for our meal. We requested some other menu items on a phone call (he prefers phone to email), and he let us think about what we wanted to make/learn. In the end we switched out 2 of the dishes to dry-fried string beans and hot and sour egg drop soup (which was simply incredible). He is skilled at many kinds of Chinese cuisine, including Beijing, Shandong, and Sichuan. He showed us how to make every dish and explained what seasoning to add and how to chop. He made two versions of the dan dan noodles because he knew I didn’t like spicy food as much. He brought cucumbers he had pickled the day before, plus homegrown peppers! He really wanted to provide the best experience. We loved having a cozy, casual dinner at home, sometimes observing, sometimes chatting, sometimes helping to cook—and plenty of eating along the way! He was very flexible and left a few small containers of sauces too, so that we could have some yummy leftovers.

Chef Wen is amazing!! He was very knowledgable about Chinese cooking and was super engaging throughout the entire class. We learned so much about each dish and are excited to try making them on our own. This was a wonderful experience and highly recommend booking a class with him! Thank you for a great time :)

Chef Wen and his Sous Chef Jing were absolutely phenomenal. We had the most amazing time learning about traditional Beijing cuisine and all the dishes were out of this world. Chef Wen is so enthusiastic and knowledgable, and he really made the experience extra special. For anyone looking to have a great time with excellent food, Chef Wen is your guy!

Chef Wen was very friendly and jovial, while sprinkling in cooking tips about knife skills, noodle-making, and layering flavors. We loved the four-course meal we ate! The class was on time and he brought all the ingredients he needed.

The class was amazing and delicious. We had a great time making the food. He was very kind. Thanks for making my birthday special.

Wen is very knowledgeable about traditional Chinese style cooking, and he is very patient when it come to teaching me. He is very well organized and always have something new to teach me very time.

Chef Wen is an amazing experience for soooo many reasons. His professional background is so impressive which is why he so skilled. His artistic touches made me and my guests says ‘wow’ - countless times. Finally the food: yum yum yum. We kept wanting to eating and couldn’t stop. My group was large and diverse yet Chef Wen accounted for everyone. I cannot recommend Chef Wen enough. Do it !

Chef Wen was recommended to me by a mutual friend through Instagram. My impression of him has always been that he is by far the most passionate and authentic chef that I have ever been able to come across, both in knowledge and as a person. He's the one who really taught me the importance of learning and practicing authentic Chinese cuisine. "It is an obligation for a Chinese immigrant to know and to preach the value of Chinese cooking as an intangible heritage of Chinese culture," I carry this epic quote by Chef Wen now everyday to fuel my pursuit for the betterment of my craft and I can honestly say that without meeting and learning from Chef Wen I wouldn't have been half the artist I am today with my cooking. In short, I highly recommend Chef Wen. He is a truly amazing chef who is more capable than anyone to guide you through your journey.
