    Our team of 7 was looking for an immersive experience to celebrate Lunar New Year and we came across Chef Eddie's Dumpling Dinner Party! We delved into the art of dumpling-making, explored various soy sauces and their flavors, discovered the six basic tastes (sweet, spicy, sour, bitter, salty, and umami), and capped off the evening with a fantastic meal prepared by both ourselves and our talented chef Eddie. Chef Eddie was definitely the highlight of the night. He was super welcoming right off the bat and there was never an awkward moment between all of us. We laughed a bunch, got to know each other better and learned new things throughout the night. Chef Eddie was very knowledgeable about soy sauces, dumplings, and had many culinary tips. Overall, this has been the most engaging, informative, delicious, and enjoyable offsites we've had to date. It was truly a top-notch experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

    We booked Eddie's Dumpling Dinner Party as part of an anniversary trip to San Francisco. We cannot say enough good things about Eddie or the Dumpling Dinner Party - it truly exceeded all our expectations! Eddie was such a warm and enthusiastic host - truly the host with the most. His apartment was also inviting! Eddie was a great, thorough, and patient teacher and we felt like we learned the basic skills to making dumplings. We appreciated that Eddie provided all the supplies and also appreciated that all the ingredients were high quality and local. It was so fun to learn to make our own dumplings and then to be able to eat them! We also really enjoyed trying the other dishes Eddie made for us to accompany the dumplings. The class was absolutely worth it and we would recommend it to everyone!

    My boyfriend and I came to dumpling dinner party with our friends on a Monday and had the best time. Chef Eddie is extremely charismatic and knowledgeable about food. You can tell immediately that he's passionate about his craft. The dinner party is hosted in his personal home in Hayes Valley- when you arrive you literally feel like you're walking into your friend's apartment. The class is $130/pp and fits up to 8 people. For this night there were 5 of us. The experience comes with 10 dumplings/pp, braised pork belly over rice, and tang yuan dessert. This is an intimate class where everyone is hands on. We gathered around Chef Eddie's kitchen counter with our own individual bowls, aprons and rolling pins and ingredients to learn and cook. What was surprising and delightful about this class was that we weren't just learning how to make dough, stuff and pleat dumplings, but also how to be mindful of different textures and flavors when cooking. Chef Eddie's method isn't to use exact measurements but rather to learn how to feel for the correct dough texture, which he learned from his family. Chef Eddie was extremely hands on and patient, he made sure that everyone was having fun and helped give tips on how to fold the dumplings. In addition to the dumplings Chef Eddie also served us a braised pork belly dish with blanched broccoli from the farmers market and rice. We finished the night with a traditional tang yuan red bean mochi ball. A fun fact we learned was that each of these dishes are traditionally made during the Lunar New Year and represent wealth and good fortune. - dumplings look like money bags - pork belly is fat so you'll be fat with wealth - tang yuan is sticky so money will "stick" to you Overall this was a fun and unique experience. I'm glad my boyfriend and I came with friends but I'm sure if it was just the two of us it would be equally as fun. Chef Eddie really does a great job at making everyone feel comfortable, included and seen. I also loved all of the tips and knowledge he shared. Pro Tip: bring your own wine to enjoy while cooking and eating & if you book 2 weeks ahead you can save $10

    I booked this experience for a team building event and it did not disappoint! Eddie is extremely hospitable and knowledgeable. It was the perfect balance of hands on cooking, education, and mingling time while Eddie got some of the non-dumpling menu items prepared for us. Highly recommend!

    Vegetarian and Meat options!

    Eddie did an awesome job making us feel comfortable throughout the class. He gives clear instruction and great feedback in a welcoming environment. He was also accommodating of my wife's vegetarian diet. You'll walk away well-fed with the satisfaction of having your own contribution to the meal. Such a great experience!

    Showcasing our dumpling masterpieces!

    Spending the evening with our amazing host Eddie was an absolute blast and an epic evening! From the moment we arrived, the vibes were warm, welcoming, and full of foodie excitement! Eddie kicked things off with top-tier hospitality, then jumped right into dumpling-making magic--step-by-step lessons that were super easy to follow and adopt (and super fun!). We gladly received history about soy sauce and dumpling dough--who knew learning could taste so good? Then came the best part: eating our creations! The dumplings were so delicious as were the rest of the dishes! So good they should come with a warning label..... wear stretchy pants to allow for maximum dumpling consumption. All in all, it was a night full of laughter, flavor, and new skills. 10/10 recommend this tasty, hands-on adventure. Come hungry, leave happy and a bit too full!

    My friends and I have been wanting to sign up for this experience for a really long time and we are so glad we got to try it out! Eddie was extremely knowledgable and I feel like I learned a lot about not just dumpling-making technique, but also the importance of quality ingredients. He went into depth explaining the "why" behind certain steps and shared historical knowledge and family anecdotes about making the dumplings which make this experience memorable. We would definitely recommend this to someone who wants to expand their cooking techniques and eat some delicious dumplings!

    I highly recommend this to visitors or locals. This is also a great date night or friends outing activity! Eddie made my friends and I feel welcomed right away. He kept the experience engaging, fun, and educational. I learned a lot about cooking techniques and the ingredients. I was impressed how attentive and accommodating Eddie was and how the experienced was thoughtfully planned and easy to follow. The best part was eating the delicious food with new and old friends.

    7/27/25 Zach…read moresurprised me with a ramen cooking class at The Story of Ramen. I lovvvve ramen (and noodles in general) so I was ecstatic for this experience. The Story of Ramen is located in the Mission so parking was a little tricky. We got to the general area 20 minutes before so that we could get a decent parking spot. We did the 4 hour advanced workshop where we learned about how to prepare the broth, marinated eggs, chasiu pork, tare seasoning and how to make the ramen. For that day, there were 5 other pairs. Our teachers Manville and Jeff, guided us through every step of the arduous process of making the perfect bowl of ramen. The workshop started off with a lecture about the history of ramen and the creation of The Story of Ramen. Of all the tasks we did, my favorite was making the ramen itself. After learning in detail how much work goes into making ramen, I appreciate ramen more than I ever did before. This was a great team building activity and something new for us. I highly recommend this and of course you get to eat the bowl of ramen you make at the end of the workshop!

Classes start at $70. Whether you're planning a cozy date night, friend hangout, or the perfect foodie gft, this ramen-making class is it.
