In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Greg, you’ll learn how to prepare a four-course Southeast Asian feast, using both familiar and exotic ingredients, to create explosive and incredible flavors. You’ll begin by crafting a delightful mango salad with Thai basil, followed by a slurp-worthy bowl of Vietnamese beef pho from scratch. You’ll then learn how to combine classic ingredients to create flavor-bursting Thai fried rice with chicken or shrimp. For dessert, Chef Greg will teach you how to make Chinese-style almond cookies.

Honestly there were not enough seats for 4 people. We ended up leaving. Chef was very nice and i dont want to bash him. We were 5 minutes late and there was no where to sit and everyone already had drinks and were well into the process which is confusing why it didnt start at 4. We traveled all the way from san tan valley and had to leave.

The location was in the middle of a random pizza joint. We were making sushi on top of styrofoam plates. The experience was ok, but we expected it to be a bit classier. The chef was okay. He seemed to know the basics but didn’t describe each step very well. He had to repeat it a few times before we understood. I’m not sure we’d do something like this through your company again. It seemed low grade for how much we paid.

The event could have been executed better. The chef had the entire class share two containers of water to dip their hands in to help spread the rice without it sticking to your hands (this was kinda gross as not everyone had washed their hands). When people requested for gloves, he seemed to get offended about it and stated that real chefs don't use gloves. We ran out of ingredients and there weren't enough supplies for the amount of people that showed up. For instance, the entire class had to keep passing around just 2 knives just so all 20+ could use them to cut veggies, raw fish, and the rolls. He was quite rude to one girl about how she made her sushi even though it was probably everyone's first time.

Poor sanitary conditions surrounding the food, the class size was much too large for the size of the venue, and there was not enough food prepped.

I don’t even want to give one star. This was a scam. The chef did not show up and the venue said this was the second time this has happened. I would not use this company again.

It's unfortunate, because Chef Greg, was a NO SHOW! Already emailed about getting a refund. Only 1 star, more for the hosting site, Helton Brewing Co, in Phoenix. Great, rustic, urban decor and atmosphere, great beer flight and appetizer, I ended spending while there after waiting an hour. This wa as part of experience, theme Christmas gift for my husband, that some would consider a total bust. But...we made the best of it and will await refund and really should get something extra for the 30 min drive there and wait! Kim McCarthy

The class was scheduled to start at noon at Helton Brewing today. The owner of the venue hosting Golden Apron, Brian Helton called Chef Greg at least a dozen times with calls going straight into voice mail. The class was completely full; we all finally left about 12:45pm. Chef eventually showed up at 1:10pm claiming he was told started at 1pm. (still late)-Chef Greg went to his car to show proof of his confirmation email of 1 pm start time yet got in his car and left instead without any apology or further communication. I paid for 4 people and expect a full refund.($180) We wasted our money and time waiting-very unprofessional and disappointed with Golden Apron. Brian Helton, the owner of Helton Brewing was very responsive to the class and did all he could to reach Chef Greg and even your corporate office-needless to say it was a extremely frustrating experience for the venue hosting as well as all of us who paid for the class.
