Signed up for this class to learn how to make tacos but with 10 students, only 3 burners and all food prepped ahead of time by the chef, there was not much to learn. We were advised at beginning of class this was more of a "social experience than a cooking class" but it was not marked that way in the class description. For the cost of the class, would have preferred an actual cooking class to learn how to cook.

Not at all what I expected. My “cooking” experience consisted primarily of stirring a communal pot and putting a garnish on everyone’s bowl. We did not make our own individual ramen, and there was no chopping, measuring, or other preparation involved. We did make three different ramens, which was nice, but the experience was not individual or particularly hands-on. When booking, the class is described as “A fun, hands-on cooking class led by Chef Washington” and “A complete meal you’ll cook and enjoy yourself.” Those descriptions led me to expect a very different experience. During the class introduction, however, we were told that it would not actually be a hands-on cooking experience. I think the class description should be updated to more accurately reflect what participants will actually be doing. I was also disappointed with how my dietary restriction was handled. I disclosed that I am vegan when I booked the class two months in advance. Despite that, the instructor seemed surprised when he learned I was vegan and repeatedly asked questions such as whether I ate eggs, if a little fish sauce was okay, whether I ate chicken broth, or whether heavy cream was acceptable. The class description states that “Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated if noted prior to the event.” I did note mine in advance, so I expected it to have been communicated and planned for before the class. I did appreciate that the instructor altered one of the ramens so that I could participate. He then added the chicken broth after I had been served, so I was able to eat two of the three ramens that were prepared. Did I have a good time? Yes. But that’s more a reflection of me and my ability to have a good time almost anywhere than an indication that the class met my expectations. Would I do it again? No. Would I recommend it? Based on the way the class is currently described, no. In my opinion, the description does not accurately reflect the hands-on experience provided, and the handling of my dietary restriction was disappointing given that I had disclosed it two months in advance.
