This class was very disappointing and not at all as advertised. The description made it seem like a hands-on cooking class, but it turned out to be more of a social event. At the start, the chef even gave a disclaimer that it wouldn’t be interactive, which was frustrating since that wasn’t mentioned beforehand. The food itself was not good, and the entire experience felt disorganized. The chef appeared uninterested and disengaged, and during the Q&A it seemed like he just wanted to get through it rather than teach or connect with the group. My friends and I were never invited to participate in any part of the cooking, despite being told we might get a chance to help. Overall, it felt like the chef was simply there to get paid and leave. If you’re looking for a true hands-on ramen class where you can learn and cook, this is not it.
