This was a great afternoon for our work team! Great staff, well set up venue - including a lovely courtyard to eat outside. Lots of fun!

Penelope Jurd Nov 2023


The Canadian girl who took the cocktail class was so lovely but generally I think the whole package was not worth the money.
I didn't learn anything, and I'm not even a very good cook.
Would recommend that others look at other options

Cocktail and Dumpling Making Class review by Anonymised ClassBento student - Sydney

Chiara Leone Oct 2023


The teacher was great - really informative. Had a lovely experience. The structure of the class meant we got to learn a lot of different techniques that will give me a lot of opportunities to put into practice at home. We arrived on time and were told to sit around for a solid 15 minutes while we awaiting for people coming in late - this was a bit annoying.

Sarah Wijenaike Oct 2023

Loved our experience! We went as a team building experience and it was such fun. Our teacher (Kay?) was so funny and really instructive. The cocktails were amazing, and we got taught many useful tips to use at home. And there were SO many dumplings - I can't recommend this experience enough!

Janelle Dawson Oct 2023


Fun day out with girlfriends making cocktails and dumplings. So much laughter. Staff were engaging and fun. Delicious dumplings and cocktails - worthwhile the price. This is our 3rd or 4th class bento class and it has delivered on its promise of fun, value for money class. Highly recommend

The teachers were great and it was a very fun experience. I great way to meet people, we all ended up eating together at the end. The cocktail class was very fun and informative. The dumpling part was good too, but I wish we got a little bit more background on the ingredients, recipe, technique etc. Overall a super cute night out.

Kathleen Vu Sep 2023


The teachers were very kind and understanding and explained everything thoroughly. I didn’t feel intimidated learning new things and had a lot of fun! The only issue was that it wasn’t private and there were other customers eating and being a little loud which was hard to hear but other then that it was really good and I highly recommend

Jordan Kennedy Sep 2023


This was a wonderful experience. The cocktails turned out well and the dumplings did too. The teachers/hosts were lovely to deal with and helpful.

Kristine Gonzaga Sep 2023


Kieran was a hilarious cocktail teacher. During the whole class, he was engaging, charismatic and attentive to all our needs.
Our dumplings teacher, Kay, was equally as fun and entertaining.
This class was definitely worth every cent. Not only do you get a generous amount of tasty dumplings, the drinks were just as delicious!

Jenni Harman Aug 2023


Oliver the bartender was not the usual teacher but he did a great job. He was friendly, attentive and generous with his knowledge. The dumpling chef was lovely too. The class was a perfect blend of transmitting skills & knowledge with fun. I loved the dumplings and will certainly try making them again. Great choice of cocktails too.

Becky Pascoe Aug 2023


Great venue with excellent atmosphere. Chill vibes which was great - not too much pressure to get it spot on (which was great for us!).

Teachers were great. Provided easy to follow instructions.

Great idea to pair cocktails with dumplings.

Only suggestion to improve would be to assign the dumplings we actually made to us for eating.
We watched the team next to us create their dumplings without gloves. They molded theirs into penises, and whilst not a prude, when we were served their "body parts", we didn't really feel like eating them.

We had an amazing time at the class. This was the perfect activity for a hens weekend. The cocktail making class was really fun and the host made it even better. We were also full from all the delicious dumplings we helped make.

The class was really enjoyable - making the cocktails was good fun and we loved how the dumplings were prepared in three different ways (deep fried, steamed and pan fried). Yum!

The only downside was that there were several other hens groups that were very loud and rowdy. Given that it was a private class, I didn't realise how close we would be to other groups. I completely understand that it would have been impossible for staff to keep the other groups quiet but maybe a little forewarning would have been nice.

Otherwise though, we had a fun time! Thank you :)

Divita Aggarwal Aug 2023


Booked this for my sisters bday and we all loved it. Such a good experience, definitely would recommend

Robyn Wheatley Aug 2023


The teacher could have been good but wasn't able to teach. The Hens group in with us was horrendous, yelling ans screaming all thru it. We could not hear the directions given. Management was appalling and did nothing to improve the situation. In the end I had to go outside with a headache. We were there for a special group celebration. There appeared to be no security available.
I would highly unrecommend this venue and experience to anyone.

Elena Zakharova Aug 2023


We have booked the class for six people for a girls night out. We all absolutely loved it! Both making the cocktails and the dumplings was very informative, easy to follow and lots of fun. The cocktails and the dumplings were so delicious. The teachers were super fun and engaging and the venue was very nice. Overall great night out with friends, very good price for a whole experience, highly recommended. Thank you!

Luke Pritchard Aug 2023


Highly recommend. Class was upbeat and insightful, excellent date night option certainly havnt eaten so many dumplings in one sitting before

Leon Pinkerton Aug 2023


It was an interesting activity, but not a very interactive activity, and it seemed a little overpriced for what you receive (2 cocktails and folding dumplings). The dumpling mix was pre-prepared and cooked by the chef, so you were only doing / learning the folding. You get to eat your dumplings at the end but there's too many and you feel like a dumpling by the time you walk out. Overall, a good experience but can be refined slightly to make it a memorable one.

Kristy Hunter Aug 2023


We can highly recommend doing the Cocktail and Dumpling Making Class. We took our team for a night out and we have had so much awesome feedback on what a great night and experience it was in their words "that was the best night we have had out with the team, it was so much fun". The venue was great and the teacher was fantastic. We can highly recommend doing this experience.

Jodie Carroll Aug 2023


teacher was great (nicolette) explained everything really well. drinks were great aswell as food. Service was lovely too

Suhani Patel Aug 2023


My nieces thoroughly enjoyed the class - thank you! They said they are eagerly waiting for the recipes email.

Patrizia Hild Aug 2023


Easy and fun class. Great for couples and groups alike. Taken away some recipes to try at home.

Jenny Brown Aug 2023


Bought this for a birthday experience for a mate and the three of us had a fabulous time. Great fun making and shaking the cocktails – and of course, drinking them – then getting our hands dirty making dumplings. We thought we may have a dozen or so to eat at the end, but we made soooooo many, it was hard to finish them all.
Our teacher, K (sorry not sure of the spelling) was a laugh and made the class a really fun experience. Would definitely recommend it, but not with too many mates or you might lose the intimate vibe.

Cooking class review by Jenny Brown - Sydney

Michelle Aug 2023


I loved this experience, I had so much fun, and learnt some cool new tricks to impress at my next dinner party

Debbie Wilt Aug 2023


We had the best time at our cocktail and dumpling making course. Kieran was fantastic for teaching the cocktails part and really got us all involved and chatting with each other, even others we didn't know before the day. He is an absolute asset to your team and we would schlepp back in Potts Point just to see him again. He also didn't shower me when I asked for water. Kudos Kieran.
Making dumplings with K was so much fun. He was very patient with us to say we had a few cocktails in us by then. He knows how to have a laugh which is so important!
The cocktails and dumplings we made were absolutely delicious
I would definitely recommend this course. It was very reasonably priced. And you don't need to spend extra money if you don't want to.
Little shout out to Ben the Frenchman who was very sweet too.
You guys have a very well oiled machine that runs smoothly.

Cocktail making part was amazing! The teacher was great and it was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. The dumpling making part was not as good - it felt a bit rushed and the teacher was not as engaging. The experience was good value for money though and the venue was lively and fun. Would definitely recommend!

I do believe the dumpling part to the night was loads of fun , and we realized we had some very creative members in our team.
Thank you again it was a fabulous night

Came here on a Saturday at lunch time; class started with aking two different cocktails. There were about 10 of us - we were set up at the bar where we were provided with all the different materials. The instructions were super clear and atmosphere was really nice and relaxed.

Once our second deink was ready, we were set up at tables with ready made mixes for the duplings. We were shown three different ways / shapes for the dumplings. Once ready, these were sent to the kitchen and we were set up at tbles of 2 to enjoy the meal.

Great date activity!

Our cocktail teacher was unfortunately not very good- he was either drunk or high or both and it wasn’t a great experience.
Dumpling making was really good and the teacher was super lovely, helpful and friendly.

Hey Carly

I am terribly sorry you didn't enjoy Kay's class. I was working as well and know he was certainly not drunk or high. I have spoken with him regarding his humour as I suspect this was what was the issue.

I do thank you for your review and will make sure he reads the room better.

THE BEST COCKTAILS and DUMPLINGS CLASS YOU CAN FIND! The teachers were absolutely amazing and made the experience so worth it Went for our anniversary and had the best time ever

All the materials provided were amazing - we got to learn two types of cocktails and dumplings completely different to each other! They were more than enough dumplings for both of us AND SO TASTY!

We loved the cocktails and dumplings of course but THE PEOPLE working there were the BEST

Amazing surprise/activity for birthdays, anniversary’s, bridal showers etc Worth your money with Honkas Bar + Eats

We absolutely loved our whole cooking class experience on 24/6! Both teachers were engaging and made the whole experience fun and relaxing! The cocktails we made will become regulars on our home bar menu and now we know how to make dumplings, we will teach the family how to make them while we chat and drink our cocktails! Fabulous experience and can definitely recommend it! 10/10 all round

We had a blast at Honkas, taking on the cocktail and dumpling-making course for a hen's party. The instructors were fun and patient, and their step-by-step approach made it easy to learn. We made perfect dumplings and delicious cocktails and had a great time experimenting with different flavours. Highly recommend it for a fun hen's party experience.

Something fun to do on a school night. You can make it as big or quiet as you want it to be.

Deeksha Balaji Jun 2023


The class was great! The teachers were really interactive and chill. Extremely good value for money. All recipes were delicious.

Alexandra Grace Jun 2023


So fun. We got really lucky with the legends who were in our group, it definitely elevated the experience. I’ve done plenty of cooking classes before, this was pretty basic but what’s clever is pairing alcohol with the dumpling making. Instantly made everyone more lively and have a good time. Loads of us stuck around afterwards for more drinks. Prob not for you if you are wanting to learn technique and take it seriously etc

Diane Crawford Jun 2023


Fun afternoon - knowledgeable staff, yummy food and great cocktails.
If you haven’t done dumpling making before try it out, will be back

A great venue with lots of atmosphere. K our teacher was loads of fun and really helped make the event.

We even stayed and enjoyed a few drinks after the course.

Molly Glenn Jun 2023


Cocktail class was fun, very basic recipes and could have made without being taught in a class (Atleast for us). The dumpling class was not interactive at all, very basic instructions and limited info given on how you prep or cook. Was more like a section setup and figured it out for yourself. The class was okay but wouldn’t recommend to others

Teacher's response

Hi Molly

Thanks so much for this review, I will definitely speak to my instructors to make sure that there is more information and interaction given. I am terribly sorry.

Lincole Chan Jun 2023


Staff was nice, friendly and patient. The dumplings we prepared unfortunately were given to another table. When questioned they did give us food from their menu free of charge but by the time we ate it was late and were done for the night. Experience was good. A little bit disappointed we didn’t try our dumplings.

Jesse Williams Jun 2023


Absolutely loved it both the cocktail and dumpling teachers were fantastic and charismatic. Already have recommended it for a work Christmas party or birthday.

Tony Chan May 2023


A fun and filling experience, with good drinks and good dumplings. The cocktail session was informative and then we got to make dumplings with a pork or a vegetarian filling - both fillings tasted great. We were shown how to fold them three ways and after folding our tray of dumplings, they'll cook them three ways for you to eat and/or take away! The class teacher was welcoming and funny also.

Elsa Mardones May 2023


Interesting class, the cocktail's teacher was very pleasant and fun, the hint on how to make a successful drink was very helpful.
The preparation of the dumpling was very straight forward with 100% fantastic end result.
It's a value for money.

This class is definitely good value for money. Time three hours and you get to make yourself 2 cocktails and plenty of dumplings.

It is a good event where friends go along to share the happy time making and sharing food over a weekend catchup.

HoweverI feel a bit lack of interaction with the teacher and DIY part is also missing a bit.

If this class were to teach me how to make a cocktail or dumpling from a scratch, I would definitely bring along a friend next time.

Class was great! Staff were friendly and very accommodating to our diets and requests, and were very generous with food and drink portions. The space was also great to fit an event for 40 people!

Tony May 2023


The venue was quaint and clean, although a little hard to find. Signage guys The service was prompt and pleasant and all the staff were welcoming. The teachers made the experience fun and funny. The cocktail teacher especially made our night brilliant, with his warm personality and easy manner. Everything you need is provided including plenty of alcohol. The dumpling class was a bit tedious but the end result was tasty as they cook what we made in 3 different ways. It was great to spend the evening with a group of like-minded people, and we found we had a lot in common with the couple next to us. We were given the experience as a gift, so I don't know the cost, but worth at least a couple of hundred dollars. We made a night of it "up the Cross" and bar hopped back to our accommodation. Totally fantastic weekend.

Cheryl Kilkelly May 2023


Fabulous experience. Cocktails with Hamilton whose knowledge was fantastic. Followed by dumpling making with Pauline .

Belinda Tony May 2023


We had a little trouble finding the venue as the name wasn’t on our paperwork. Loved the cocktail making it was fun. I don’t feel the guy running the dumpling making was particularly interested in making it fun it just seemed like he was in a rush to get it done but the dumplings were delicious

Karen Edwards Apr 2023


What a fantastic experience! We had the best night which was fun, entertaining, educational and tucked all the boxes.
Kieran is a brilliant mixologist and very patient with our group. We learnt some tricks to cocktail making and learned the Honkas signature cocktail.
After imbibing in our hand crafted cocktails we moved onto our dumpling class with Vim.

Everything was set out for us and the instructions were clear and very helpful. Such fun and the more we made, the better they got!

Our dumpling creations were then whisked away for cooking and were returned to us cooked three ways, steamed, steamed and pan fried and then deep fried - delicious if I do say so myself!

Thoroughly recommend this as a great night out and a way to enhance your skills!

Thanks to everat Honkas and particularly Kieran and Vim. Thanks ClassBento for another great event!

Pretty disappointing that the GF options didn’t include dumplings. I had to send a salad back as they didn’t confirm ingredients (nor did they replace it), and only ended up eating 2 rice paper roles and a small beef dish.

Our teachers for both the cocktails and dumplings were amazing and very knowledgeable! It was the perfect date night and was great to meet new people doing the class as well!

Franziska Beck Apr 2023


It was a great experience as you learn the techniques of cocktail making and dumplings. It was easy to follow and a great venue as you could combine afterwards to have the food and enjoy it with a nice drink.
This gave me the confidence in the future to make these items myself as actually not that hard as I thought.
The only recommendation is to explain for the dumpling class where to get certain ingeredients, especially the pre-made dumpling dough. It would have been also great to get the information how the dumplings get fried, steamed etc. just so that you have the information for yourself in case you do it yourself at home.
Could we please receive receipies for cocktails and dumplings?
Overall great experience :)

Such a great class, pace was just right not too fast or slow, we made about 50 dumplings cooked 3 ways (fried, steamed and got a style) and had to take most away. Staff are super friendly, parking close by ($15 flat rate weekends). Great for date nights or with a bunch of friends.

We enjoyed this class very much, especially the cocktails part, which we did first. Roslyn was excellent - entertaining and she really knew her stuff. The dumplings part was ok but we hoped to be making the dumplings from scratch. Still they turned out delicious. Instead I probably would have preferred less dumplings (we ended up making (and eating) about 40!) and getting a side dish of steamed green veges or Asian salad to eat with them. All up, a really fun day and I’m happy I learned some new skills. Thank you.

The dumplings were cooked well in 3 different ways and cooked well. Both instructors were fun and helpful during the class. I would recommend the class to others. It was a lot of fun.

I organised this course as part of my best friend’s hens and it couldn’t have been more perfect!

A big thank you to all the staff that looked after us - you really made our day!

Would recommend to everyone and looking forward to going again x :)
