Chelsea_A, Jan 2026

Our particular experience was fine, but we were underwhelmed and feeling not a little duped. The photos and description on this site were as such “In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn to craft the perfect bowl of ramen by blending soy sauce and miso for a rich, flavorful broth. You’ll also discover how to cook tender pork and soft-boiled eggs, essential components of the dish. “ I don’t think you can blame me for thinking we’d be at least creating a broth with soy sauce and miso. Plot twist: there was also no miso. Again - no hate to the chefs bc I don’t think they’re responsible for this site and it’s descriptions, but at the very least either NOT including specific ingredients, or making it very clear that the menu would be subject to change. We were excited about making a miso pork ramen and felt a bit bamboozled by the lack thereof. As advertised, we expected a hands on experience, actively cooking and assembling our own traditional Japanese ramen bowls. Maybe making our own noodles or at least watching them do it (noodles were yummy, but store bought), seeing the garnishes be prepped (they came prepped which I understand from a host perspective), or heck at least boiling an egg. But alas. (whomever created this event description, count your days lol). Instead, it was more like a ramen tasting experience. There *were* some hands on elements available, but only if you volunteered. Of the 20+ people, I think about half ended up participating - 3-4 people per ramen dish) but the tasks weren’t very satisfying. One task was to sear pre-cooked pork, another to add tomato paste and some spices and stir the broth, but mostly the “made with your own two hands” as sold on the site was assembling the bowls. Ex: scooping broth, doling out noodles, adding some garnishes. Very much cafeteria experience. Based on the class description I had expected more information about the traditional ramen process, maybe even a quick history or fun facts or something that would have made the experience more interesting or memorable. Recipes to take home or get in an email would have been a nice touch or a list of tips and tricks for when we wanted to make ramen at home. Maybe even some recommended brands The hosts were kind and open to questions, but mostly just listed out ingredients and gave us cliff notes about their cooking process if we asked. I would have loved to even know a little bit of their background, why they love ramen, their favorites ways to add flair to their bowls, etc. again, anything to make it feel more interactive and memorable. Available for tasting were three different kinds of ramen: curry chicken, birria, and smoked salmon. I thought we would choose one but was pleasantly surprised we got to try all three. Each flavor was just fine - more casual home potluck and not “traditional Japanese” like the site description or photos portrayed. The location wasn’t private and the layout wasn’t ideal, so it made it hard to see, hear, and participate overall. The bar did quiet down about halfway through, but a back room or somewhere we could have circled around would have been better. Instead they were backed up against a well in the corner with tables lined up and away down the wall. We still enjoyed a night out, but the descriptions and photos on Viator desperately need to be adjusted for accuracy and to better manage expectations for everyone involved.
