I have coordinated two team builds at HoG…read more The first was 4 years ago for 50+ guests. We had the "strolling meal" which worked out perfectly for our group as we wanted to keep the energy high. It was a hit! We had a competition and our chefs were fun and took our competition seriously. Our guests talked about it for days. Today I returned for a smaller team build for 11 guests. Because it was a smaller group we had a seated meal. Our chefs were engaged and very knowledgeable. It was a beautiful day and our guests were very happy, we really needed this. I am 100% confident with HoG. They do an excellent job of accommodating allergens and dietary restrictions. They are also very fast with their communication which I appreciate, especially for this most recent team build as we had less than 1 week notice!

She was amazing, easy to follow her instructions, she knew what she was doing!! Started with some herb education which made things come together in my head. She had the 4 of us hands on and learn first hand. The food was amazing and I feel I have a friend for life. ( if I need any guidance, have any questions) she is right there.

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!
