Chef and his assistant did a good job explaining the material. His instructions were clear and simple. He was sometimes hard to understand but overall did a great job and really seemed to enjoy teaching.

Chef Malik sure knows how to show people a good time. We had a blast learning to make pasta this evening. Educational and fun, it was a really good way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

This was the first cooking classroom, my wife and I. We really enjoyed ourselves. The chef was very attentive. The food was fantastic, and he even gave us to go containers to bring home leftovers. The only downside to the class was the venue.

It was a great cooking class! I enjoyed it a lot. I ate what I made and brought home a big portion for my hubby.

Chef Malik made the class fun and kept things simple so even a cooking novice like me could follow along. I highly recommend his class!

The chef Malik makes everything seem simple and gives very clear instructions and makes sure that everyone is doing everything perfectly!

The class was entertaining and informative. It would have been better with more supplies (there was one knife for each 4-person table), and better avocados (the ones we had were not ripe and extremely hard to work with). I also suggest having a more central station to demonstrate each step, and dedicated supplies to do so; Chef Malik used our table and our supplies for the first sushi roll, which made it difficult for others to see (unless they stood up and walked over), and deducted from the rolls we could make on our own. Overall we had a good time, so I'm rating this class 4 stars.

I liked the class but did not love it. I had trouble watching the demo. It would have been better if he were on a raised platform so we could all see him. The class was fun, I enjoyed my table mates. Great cocktails.

Chef Malik was wonderful, his instruction was easy to follow and he visited each table to see how we were doing and gave further instruction if needed. The pasta and Alfredo sauce were delicious! We will definitely take other cooking classes from Chef Malik. His assistant/sister was equally wonderful and they make a great team.

Michelle

22 Jun 2023

Had a great time making the pasta and enjoyed Malik’s cooking tips! The Alfredo sauce was on point!

Karen

Class was running late about 15 minutes. Chef explained and was very apologetic. Chef was personable and interactive but the event seemed uncoordinated and unusually disorganized. Tables were sanitized and gloves were used for most of the food interaction.

Rica

13 Jun 2023

Our group had a lot of fun and learned loads! Chef Malik made everything hands on and easy for folks who don’t cook. Highly recommend.

Tam

This was a great, fun class. Chef Malik was a good teacher, and fun to listen to.

Katia

28 May 2023

Overall, this was a great experience! If you are looking for something that is very skilled, this is not for you. This is supposed to be fun and light-hearted; a great date night idea. Although I was alone, I do recommend going to this as two people because there is a lot of food to be shared and definitely help is needed with the dough. Chef Malik was really nice and patient!

Cami

26 May 2023

We enjoyed learning how to make pasta in the same amount of time it would take to dump the box and boil it. It was fun and Chef Malik and his sister were great!

Betsy

25 May 2023

The Chef Malik was great! He made sure that we all understood the process and would be able to replicate it at home. He checked on everyone frequently so we could work independently and do it right!

Breeana

19 Apr 2023

My fiance and I really enjoyed our first pasta making class together. The instructions were easy to follow and designed so that we could replicate it at home!

Katherine

Chef Malik showed us a great time. Better than a restaurant meal.

Narisa

Class was about an hour and we had fun. For the price, we did expect a better structured class with a smaller amount of people. There were about 30 people and the class took place in a bar. It was difficult to hear instructions and see what was going on. Chef Malik handled the crowd as best he could. We weren't clearly instructed on how many rolls we should be making, so we had a lot of extra ingredients left over since we only made 3 rolls (4 pieces each). For the price, we also wouldve expected more materials to be provided. Each pair had one cutting board and one sushi mat, then each table of 4 people shared one knife.

Sheila

I had a great time! Chef Malik was very friendly and easy to understand.

Maria

30 Mar 2023

Not enough seaweed for each person to make two rolls. He was difficult to hear and his demonstration was tough to see so he had to walk around to show the class. Not all his fault but this was poorly executed. Been to another sushi class and I mad so much.! I had take home food. Here, I was so hungry after.

Adrienne

16 Mar 2023

It was fun! It would be nice if you either offer aprons or advise people to bring their own, along with take home containers if your not able to finish your meal.

Pam

15 Mar 2023

The class was ok, I was disappointed that we did not go home with a recipe. This was the first cooking class I have attended that did not provide a printed recipe …

Had a great time with Chef Malik. He clearly loves teaching and his enthusiasm was contagious. Food tasted great as well!

Carly

26 Oct 2022

Chef Malik was incredibly kind but I would not recommend the class or food. The boiled chicken and bland sauce made were not our favorite. I didn’t plan on leaving a review but was promoted by so many emails that I finally gave in. Again chef Malik was very nice the class was just scattered and the food was not very good.

Sofia

20 Oct 2022

He neglected to include my boyfriend and I. We were literally on the other side of the room because he let two people from another class join so we had no materials, dough, or anything set up for us and had to sit far away.

Rani

16 Oct 2022

Honestly both the sauce and the pasta itself were oversold. Everyone in the class felt the same way. The pasta did not come out delicious for most of us. The texture was questionable and almost inedible. Also, the fact that you decide to have a cooking class for pasta and you don't have access to boiling water is a problem. The water temperature seemed to be a problem, which it should not be given that classpop has been doing these courses for a long time. The pasta and the sauce were not yummy. We all felt that it was bland and the sauce was not as delectable as he had advertised it to be.

Michelle

15 Oct 2022

Chef Malik was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning new techniques and flavor combinations in his class. I never knew pasta dough could be so versatile. Awesome class!

Zhane

11 Oct 2022

This class we definitely an enjoyable experience! Chef Malik made the process easy enough to recreate at home without all the fancy tools! If you are looking to try something new or have a light and fun time, I would highly recommend!

Nice presentation! I learned some great tips for making pasta from scratch and homemade alfredo sauce.

I loved the pasta making class. The instructions were clear and the experience gave me confidence. I would take another course with Chef Malik.

Forrest

30 Sep 2022

Was 40 minutes late and said we would get a free cooking class but I never heard anything back about a free class. Burner was not strong enough to boil pasta so the pasta was not great. Sauce was pretty good and he brought shrimp and chicken, so that was nice of him. Excellent entertainment though!

Victor

Chef Malik was awesome. We had a very enjoyable evening

Emily

27 Sep 2022

Had a fantastic evening! Pasta was great and very easy to follow instruction. If you’re looking for a fun night out with some great food and good company, this is it!

Adam

04 Apr 2022

It was a small class but that made it feel like a more intimate experience which was perfect for our date night.

Harrison

04 Mar 2022

Amazing!! If you’re a normal person (not a snob) that’s just looking to have a good night out, date night, etc. and learn some useful skills/recipes that you can easily bring back home and replicate then this is the class for you!! THE Chef Malik is very personable and makes things REALLY simple! He made sure that each step of the way we understood so that we could do it on our own! 10/10 recommend taking any class with chef Malik! Like I mentioned at the beginning, come into it with an open mind and willing to learn. There were others in the class who seemed to already think they knew better than the professional chef… Don’t be that guy lol

We had a lot of fun with Chef Malik! Never been to a cooking class before so this was a good first!

Marcus

19 Feb 2022

My wife is very big on enjoying her experiences, so to take part in this class for the first time and on V-Day was a bit risky. However, she really enjoyed herself!! Chef Malik is very knowledgeable in the kitchen and didn't hesitate to share any cooking tips with us. Food tasted great! I will definitely be using some of his tips in my kitchen! We will be back!

Erin

18 Feb 2022

Would have been helpful for him to have a helper so he could speak and someone else could prepare the food

Terrelle

24 Jan 2022

What a great experience! I’d recommend anyone looking for a great evening of good cooking, eating, and fun, book with Chef Malik!!

Beth

10 Nov 2021

Malik was late. Malik didn’t bring enough rice for us to make sushi rolls. Malik didn’t bring the crab meat for the sushi. Malik was not sanitizing. All that, but Malik was friendly and pleasant and we applaud him for trying to run a business but overall he needs to execute what customers are paying for. Will not use classpop again

Jason

Very personable guy and fun to learn from!

Heather

Dennis

12 Aug 2021

Chef Malik created a great experience. Learned how to make pasta from scratch, along with fresh alfredo sauce, and made it very easy and fun. Chef Malik also got some taste of beer to try that would pair well with the pasta. It was an enjoyable class that I would recommend to anyone who would want to have an enjoyable experience.

Tana

Pamela

I really enjoyed the experience. The cooking tips were great. I never knew making a homemade pasta dish could be so simple.

Dawn

The "sauce boss" was great!

Jason

29 Feb 2020

Great idea and history. Acoustics in brewery made it a little difficult to hear and understand the chef, but he adjusted and tried to accommodate. Food was great and he explained some substitutions i never knew about

Emeralde

29 Feb 2020

Chef Malik was great! Amidst all of the noise. He did a good job of going around to make sure everyone understood how to make the pasta dough...it was great fun, I just wish it wasn’t so loud- maybe in a kitchen too...

Nicole

18 Feb 2020

Chef Malok was great. In saying that, the venue was double booked and it made it hard to fully enjoy the experience.

SAMUEL

15 Feb 2020

Chef Malik was awesome! A great hands on and easy expierence! Perfect date idea!

Jordan

Sauce he made was eh

Bernita

13 Feb 2020

Great chef! Good event. Bad space due to venue booking an event during our class. Not the chefs fault but he made the best of it for us all.

Christa

11 Jan 2020

My daughter and I enjoyed how Chef Malik walked us through the process. He explained how our pasta dough should look and how to fix a problem. My only suggestion would I would have liked a printed recipe so that we can make this at home. Will definitely look for other classes!

Kaitlyn

Laurie

An unforgettable evening! Chef Malik showed us how to prepare a delicious curry using freshly ground spices. Yum!

Brenn

04 Nov 2019

I booked Chef Malik for my boyfriend's birthday, and we were both so impressed. He was very knowledgeable in the kitchen, and the food was stunning. Best of all, however, was Chef Malik's stories and wisdom. Will 100% recommend him to my friends.

Lavanita

Chef Malik — what can I say! My husband and I had a fantastic time. We won't forget this experience any time soon!

David

04 Nov 2019

My wife and I would highly recommend Chef Malik — in fact, we've already told a number of our friends about him! Not only did we get to enjoy a fantastic meal, but we had a lot of fun preparing it with him. Thanks so much, Chef!

Jessica

04 Nov 2019

Chef Malik was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. Would absolutely recommend and are planning to book another cooking experience with him in the future!

Sarah

04 Nov 2019

Chef Malik knocked it out of the park with our Valentine's Day evening! We learned SO much about the science behind the foods we were cooking, the history of some of are favorite dishes (we'll never make Caesar Salad in anything but a wooden bowl again!), and about culinary techniques. Everything was delicious. We'd recommend Chef Malik to all our friends and family. We appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into making this night special.
