Deep, wonderful experience!

Jenni_P, Aug 2026

Judy was amazing, so knowledgeable and sensitive to who we are and what we care about so that our experience was truly personalized! We learned and experienced a great deal about the history and the current life of Chinatown. It was a wonderful (and tasty) experience as a family.

Dumplings, spring rolls and a touch of social responsibility

Sophie_A, Aug 2026

Julie is a brilliant guide and cook. She has a wealth of knowledge about China Towns across the world and she took us on a trip around them on her iPad. The walking tour round the local China Town was eye opening and we learned so much and very much enjoyed the amazing spring rolls she picked up from the best bakery outside of Hong Kong. The dumplings we made were also delicious and fun to make. This isn’t a cheap experience but Julie puts money back into the community and we can see she is highly respected and liked by all so well worth it. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful Dumpling Making Experience

Janet_B, Jul 2026

Was so pleasantly surprised by the experience! We had a wonderful time and the instructor is amazing! We toured China Town then returned to a closed for the day coffee shop to make the dumplings. Everything was so well done and organized. The dumplings were delicious. I would absolutely recommend this victor activity.

You learn a lot about the history of the area. Judy was extremely knowledgeable, friendly , and caring. After learning about the "neighborhood" we ended up learning how to make dumplings and got to eat them!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring the neighborhood with Judy and learning about its history. It's wonderful to know that her knowledge, friendliness, and genuine care made the experience so memorable. We're also glad you had fun making dumplings from scratch and, of course, enjoying them afterward! We'll be sure to share your kind words with Judy. Thank you for choosing Traveling Spoon, and we hope to welcome you to another authentic culinary experience in the future!

This is a fantastic hidden gem. Judy has a fantastic knowledge of and a commitment to the chinese community. Vast amount of historical facts of the area given during a walking tour of Chinatown. She knows everyone. She taught us to make dumplings (vegetable, chicken and lamb), which we ate. Highly recommend this event and would take it again.
