Authentic Japanese Street Food Flavors Review Photo from Cooking Class in Seattle 2

Chef Dean gave us such an incredible experience! We made an amazing Japanese street food feast, including handmade gyoza from scratch (he even taught us how to properly fold the dumplings), gyudon, yakisoba, sushi rolls, green tea, and the most delicious matcha cake. He was fun, personable, and an excellent teacher. He shared so many helpful tips and techniques that made everything feel approachable, whether you're a beginner or love to cook. The class was hands-on, relaxed, and full of great conversation. The food was absolutely delicious, and there was so much of it—we left completely full! I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable date night, family activity, or just a unique experience. Thank you, Chef Dean, for such a wonderful evening!

Dean was an awesome host/chef to teach about some great cuisine. Enjoyed this class and would recommend Dean as your chef.

- Julian

Chef Dean’s cooking class is a whole days lesson condensed in a couple of hours. The food he guided us through was phenomenal but the tips and tricks we picked up priceless! My son and I truly enjoyed our evening and plan to take more lessons from Chef Dean.
