It was one of my best experience in Japan, and best cooking class I have ever had. The teachers were very kind, really went into the details of ramen, had us participate in every step of the process, and everything was very well structured. The ramen bowl and giozas we made and ate were truly delicious, and they were able to adapt the class and ingredients so that I could prepare everything vegan,

This was wonderful! Highly interactive and hands on. I felt like I truly learned how to make ramen and left for much more respect and appreciation for the process. The instructors were warm and knowledgeable and made for a fun and inviting morning! Highly recommend!!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable Tokyo experience, stop scrolling and book this class. My mom, brother, sister, and I spent a morning learning the ins and outs of ramen, and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip.
For three hours, we were completely immersed in ramen culture, not just eating it, but understanding it. The instructors took us through the history of ramen, the five essential elements of a bowl, and the surprising amount of labor and love that goes into something most of us slurp down in minutes.
What really sets this class apart is how hands-on it is. We didn’t just watch someone make noodles… we made them ourselves. Kneading dough, rolling it out, cutting noodles, it was all us. We also learned how to prepare some of our favorite toppings, like chashu pork and soft-boiled eggs, and even got to wrap our own gyoza (which were ridiculously good).
Of course, ramen broth takes days to make, so we couldn’t finish a full batch in-class. But we did get to participate in the beginning stages, breaking down pork and chicken bones and learning the technique behind a truly flavorful broth. It gave us a whole new appreciation for every bowl we’ve ever eaten.
The instructors were absolute gems: knowledgeable, funny, and so engaged with the group that the entire class felt warm, lively, and genuinely joyful. We laughed, we learned, we asked a hundred questions, and we ate the fruits of our labor at the end, assembling our very own ramen bowls with all the toppings. And yes… it tasted as good as it sounds.
If you’re searching for something meaningful, fun, and delicious to do in Tokyo, take this class with Baba Ramen. It’s more than a cooking class, it’s a memory you’ll talk about long after you’ve flown home.

It was such an amazing, hands on, and fun cooking class! We learned so much about the history, techniques and etiquette of ramen. This is one of the most hands on cooking classes we have ever done. Highly recommend!

It was a great morning. You all get involved in different things. They provide good explanations and instructions. Lots of food.
Megija_M, Oct 2025
It was fun and yes you are included into almost every part of the ramen making. That makes it more interesting anf you feel like you actually made it. Love every second of it and the end result was tasty.
Elizabeth_H, Oct 2025
We had such a fantastic time and learnt so much! Our chefs were friendly, fun and easy company and had the whole experience running smoothly. We ate delicious ramen and gyoza until we were fit to bursting, learnt lots and will definitely be recommending this to our friends -Thankyou Baba Ramen

This is a really fun activity but be prepared to work! The two men teaching the class were knowledgeable fun and entertaining. They provided a tremendous amount of information and kept the 7 of us constantly busy. And the results were delicious!
Tyler_N, Sep 2025
This was one of the best experiences I have had while traveling to Japan. I loved this activity from the teachers/chefs helping us to the atmosphere and the food, it was incredible. I like that I got to learn a new skill set, have a good time, and then eat some amazing ramen and gyoza. If you are traveling to Japan and have the time, you need to do this. They send you home with the recipes as well. It’s been fun taking a little bit of knowledge of Japanese cuisine home with me! :)
Sharik_H, Sep 2025
Very informative and fun! I learned how much work went into making ramen and we had amazing teachers who made the process fun! I would definitely come back again!
Pamela_W, Aug 2025
So fun!!! Great experience. Chefs were interesting, informative and the food was great!! Small restaurant that turns into an Italian spot at night. We loved it!
Andrew_K, Aug 2025
Our family of five had the best time at Baba Ramen! We always do cooking classes on our vacations and this one ranked right up there with the best. Unlike many other classes, they really put you to work. We were doing something for the entire time, in the kitchen with hot pans and oils, breaking chicken bones, rolling out noodles. We really felt like we cooked the meal and it was delicious! Also very personable chefs to help
guide us! Highly recommend!
Lukas_T, Aug 2025
Met our expectations 100%. Friendly, informative and hands on cooking class. We learned how to make ramen.
Theresa_H, Jul 2025
Great experience! Andrew and team were informative and organized…it was a lot of fun and you got a great ramen meal at the end! Now, let’s see how well I do recreating the meal at home. :-)
Alisha_R, Jul 2025
This was such a fun experience! We learned so much and will be making dishes once we return home from the recipes we were given. Great class!

You never know EXACTLY what you’re gonna get from a cooking class. You always expect it to be a good learning experience and opportunity to do some level of cooking you can’t/wouldn’t do at home, but the real question mark is whether you’re going to have FUN doing it. That depends on two things, one that is completely controlled by the staff and one that kind of isn’t. The one that isn’t is the quality of the other people in your class. We got lucky there as our group members were all eager to learn, excited to be there and energetic when we engaged them in conversation. The thing the staff can control is how they behave and I can’t imagine a better group of people than Eric, Jae, and Leo. Knowledgeable, personable, fun, friendly, and always upbeat, it was legitimately difficult to walk away at the end from such an excellent group and wonderful experience.
It seems a tad pricey, but I’d recommend this in a heartbeat.

This course was phenomenal. The instructors were very knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did they give you the instructions on how to make the ramen, they give you the cultural background history about each step of the process, a quick lesson on etiquette, and the varieties of ramen you can make. Our family had a great time and we highly recommend this course. The Ramen also was delicious.

Very well organised. Great bunch of guys. Very knowledgeable on all things Ramen. Had a great day and lunch, enjoying our mornings work.
Sara_P, May 2025
OMG this ramen & gyoza class was AMAZING! 🍜✨ Two super cool chefs showed us all their secrets - who knew making authentic ramen took so much work?! The best part? Making our OWN NOODLES from scratch! Seriously felt like a pro chef for a day! We got to devour everything we made and it was INSANELY good! No joke, this class was the highlight of our Tokyo trip. If you're visiting Japan and love food, book this experience!!
Joseph_R, May 2025
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Our chef/teaches were amazing, very knowledgeable, patient and fun. Everyone had to help in all stages of ramen making process. Four hours went by so fast. Be prepared to work hard but you get to eat the best bowl of ramen in the end.
Jeffrey_M, May 2025
This was a fun, informative, and engaging class. I finally got to learn all the secrets to making an amazing bowl of Ramen.
It was great to learn how to scratch-make all 5 layers from fresh ingredients - inluding the noodles. Making everything in a commercial kitchen instead of someone's house allowed us to focuson the process and details. They included hacks to reduce the amount of time required w/ minimal tradeoffs. The secret?... FRESH ingredients and LOTS of time and hard work!
Can't wait to try making the recipes at home. Highly recommend this class, as well as, a cooking class in someone's home. They are very different experiences and they each have their strong points. Have fun learning and cooking!
Kelly_H, May 2025
Such a fantastic experience and atmosphere. The chefs were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They were fantastic with our 1.5 year old as well and very accomodating for him too. The food was fantastic and so delicious to enjoy at the end! Would definitely recommend this to any English-speaking travellers to Japan
Tina_H, Apr 2025
Great hands-on experience! We made some of the best ramen we have ever tasted and can't wait to try making it at home. The gyoza lesson was also amazing! It's so cool how food can bring people together from all over the world.
Michael_M, Apr 2025
If you're travelling and have any interest in all about learning more about the world around you, experiences like this are so worth it.
The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. My wife and I learned more than we expected and are seriously excited to start expanding on that.
Arzhange_S, Apr 2025
This was one of our favorite experiences in Tokyo. We left inspired to try out what we learned back home. The instructors were great and part of what made this experience so memorable
Marquita_M, Apr 2025
The ramen cooking class was amazing! I went as a solo traveler with several food allergies and Andrew and his team were extremely communicative and never made me feel like the alternate options were burdensome. Learning the history of ramen and the process of how it’s to be made was an amazing experience that I’m grateful to have had. Also the ramen and gyoza tasted delicious!! 🤤 I’ve already started using the recipes that we were sent to start my own shoyu-tare for my ramen at home!!
Bryn_M, Apr 2025
Was a great time, got to really get hands on with the whole process. Teacher was very informative. Food tasted delicious at the end of it too! 10/10 would go again
Holly_R, Apr 2025
This class was super informative and so much fun! The best part was the ramen was the best one I ate while in Japan! I would love to do this again! I also like how they send all the recipes to you after!
