My father in law and I loved this class! We learned so much and Chef Washington was so nice helpful and insightful. I love how it was super hands on and informative.

The food was delicious! Especially enjoyed the breakfast taco. Chef Washington was very professional and explained all the taco that were being prepared. He made the class so fun. I would definitely attend another class.

It was a lovely gift to purchase for my partner to celebrate valentines. Chef was a nice, likeable person. Only thing that raised an eyebrow - we were expecting super fresh ingredients given the cost of the class but some of the veggies were going bad frozen bagged seafood was used and canned preserved condiments like garlic. Expected something but more elected than what we got. Chef also was a bit out of it that day so we didn’t really get a lot of background context about the food, prep style, culture etc - just an assignment of tasks. Food came out good though; the flan was great!

My friend & I had a really great time eating delicious tacos and socializing with the other guests. It is important to know that most of the items on the menu are prepared beforehand and it's not as hands-on as most would expect. That was no issue with me. It was great helping out where I could & being served taco after taco. Looking forward to next class that I attend.

This is a very fun and satisfying experience. We shared pleasant discussion while we produced and tried a variety of different tacos with unique ingredients. Chef Washington is very effective in demonstrating and explaining his process and techniques.

This delightful three-course ramen tasting with Chef Washington was such a delicious time (: You won’t leave hungry!! Don’t go in expecting a hands-on cooking class, the fun is in getting to know Chef and folks you’re dining with, and trying the scrumptiousness and adventure of Chef Washington’s ramen recipes. It’s a cute time! We did the experience at Obec brewing, and it was nice to grab a beer and have some ambiance around us.

It was a really fun and engaging experience. Chef Washington is very skillful and outgoing. I had a great time learning cooking technique and sharing the company of the chef and the other class participants. By the end I was very content and well fed.

Chef Larson’s creativity is truly inspiring. He brought unexpected flavor combinations to a traditional Japanese dish. Rather than being just novel, the flavors combined in a way that had my wife and I discussing them long after the event.

It was less involved/hands on than I expected, but I still really enjoyed this class. Chef Washington is really engaging and cares about your experience.

This class was incredibly disappointing. We thought we were going to learn simple steps to making ramen, yet he had everything prepped and did not show anyone anything about preparing any of the dishes. We were served 3 variations of ramen that were microwaved and served in paper bowls. He unfortunately didn't even discuss how he did each dish. If you're looking for a cooking class, this is 100% not it.

One star for false advertising. We expected this to be a cooking class where we would learn new recipes and how to cook tacos. Instead we spent 55 dollars to eat 4 tacos made with store-bought sauces or topped with boxed salads from Safeway. The chef did not discuss his cooking process or guide us through any steps. He did not provide any recipes, discuss how we could replicate the dishes, or how to get good quality ingredients. If this class was advertised as an omakase-style taco dinner then maybe we would give 3 stars (because the quality of the ingredients and tacos themselves were at about 3), but the experience itself felt like a scam and we will be requesting a refund from class pop.

Chef Washington was patient and skilled - he was good to learn from. The food turned out great - although we made so many dishes! It was a little more work than expected. But overall a good experience
