The class was fun but very basic. After a short intro, the teacher leaves you for an hour to make your dumplings. We only made two very basic shapes even though the description on classbento said we’d learn 3 shapes the pictures show far more elaborate dumplings than what we made today. On the plus side, the dumplings we made were delicious and you leave feeling very full.

The class started 15 minutes late and we were made to wait with absolutely no explanation from the staff. It felt very disorganised. When asked about the late start, a staff member was rather unhelpful, rude and dismissive. Cocktails on the house were later provided as an apology. Overall an OK experience, but will not be recommending or attending again.
Teacher's
response
Thank you, Lin, for sharing your experience. We apologise for the late start and the lack of explanation provided by our staff, we were waiting for other guests to arrive before we could start. It's important to us that our classes are organised and run smoothly. We appreciate your feedback and have taken it onboard to improve. We hope the cocktails on the house were a small gesture of apology. We're sorry to hear that you won't be recommending or attending again, but we understand and respect your decision.
Class started late but the staff were apologetic and offered us drinks on the house which was really lovely. Our teacher was great with managing a large group and the dumplings were delicious!

Ventured from the suburbs to inner city for this experience. It is well located to train station and car parking station.
The food was good, teacher was great, was a little dark to see the finer details of the more complex shaping, but almost got there in the end. You probably want to really like dumplings as we ended up with a lot, took some home for next day lunch.

The staff were rushed and lost 1/3rd of our dumplings that we made. An okay experience but disappointing to miss out on the full batch.

The experience was nice, we got to make two types of dumplings - one vegetarian, and one with pork. When we arrived the ingredients were already minced and pre-portioned, so we only had to mix and start filling.
One thing I did not appreciate is that we were only taught two ways to fold the dumplings, when the class ad states that we would learn three. So after the second we were kind of just waiting for the teacher to come back and teach another one, but our filling ran out before that. I also read other comments mentioning they learned three folds, so I'm not sure what's up with that.
Not much interaction from the teacher, he would just come over to the table for a few seconds to explain what we had to do, and then would leave.
The dumplings tasted very good, they prepared it for us three ways - deep fried, pan fried and steamed.
The experience was nice overall, I just expected a little more interaction and to learn three folds. But would recommend, I think it was a good experience to try with friends.

The venue was great, cocktails were delicious and it was easy to relax. Nothing was rushed.
The teacher demonstrated how to mix the ingredients and the various ways of shaping the dumplings and we got plenty of practice making our own. :)
The best part was eating the finshed dumplings cooked 3 ways. Very delicious and filling. We took leftovers to enjoy later.
An excellent birthday present from my daughter that didn't add to my clutter.

The dumplings were delicious and very fun to make. We made heaps, as they gave us enough wraps for 60 dumplings, so lucky we were hungry and going home afterwards to put the leftovers in the fridge. Some people couldn’t make that many, so we saw a lot of waste which was a shame. I’d recommend they start with one pack and give out more wraps as people ask, but for those ready to eat, bring your eating pants haha.
We were quite hungry, as you don’t eat until about two hours in which for us was due to a late set up and start and waiting for several others before getting started and before going to the next step during the process, as there was one main instructor for about 30 people. Smaller groups or staggered starts would have been better.
All in all, I’d highly recommend! We had a great time and the dumplings were delicious.

Extremely Overpriced.
We paid over 70 dollars for a group of 11. At over 700 dollars, the class did not deliver.
The tutor was friendly, and involved the class.
The ingredients were extremely basic- two variants with minimal flavour and store bought packet dumpling wrappers.
The tutorial covered 3 basic folding techniques and mixing of the filling. There were only 4 bowls for a table of 11.
The class traditionally comes with pork and a vegan option. We requested a chicken substitute to the pork which cost us an extra 50 dollars.
The class itself was in the indoor outdoor area, which on a winter evening one would expect to be heated (the indoor area was completely vacant and we could easily have been accomodated there). On asking for the heater we were told the gas cylinder was missing.
Our dumplings were then steamed, fried and pan fried, however they felt lacking in flavour. The condiments on the table were limited to bottles of sri-racha sauce and soy sauce.
All in all it did not meet our expectations and was a bit of a let down as we booked it for my husbands birthday.

Good food! Great to learn technique. Advertised as a 1.5 hour class with 1.5 hours to eat. We had finished making the dumplings in 30 minutes. Our instructor said that we only had 20 minutes to make as they needed the table.
Made and ate all in an hour.

We arrived early ready for the 6pm start. They took our drink order and it took ages to come out and it took us a while to ask someone as a cocktail class was being held at the bar.
We didn’t start doing the dumplings until 7pm and the “teacher” looked fed up and unhappy from the get go. I don’t think she smiled the whole time. For someone who is doing group functions, they should be lively and energetic. The staff were really lacking and had a really “don’t care” attitude. The dumplings were yum and it was fun to make them but the overall experience was disappointing.

It was a fine experience - pretty much had all the ingredients chopped and ready for us. All we had to do was mix them together and put it into the dumpling wrap. We did get to learn different styles of wrapping the dumpling which was cool but the class wasn’t really informative. They did not explain how to chop the ingredients, how long to cook the dumplings for, at what temperature etc. The class was pretty quick too - 1-1.5hrs to make the dumplings and then it took 15mins for the chefs to cook the dumplings. The dumplings tasted okay, quite basic and lacked a ‘traditional’ taste. Overall, it was a fun experience but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to make dumplings from scratch.
Food was delicious! Very easy to follow instructor who was also lovely and friendly
Had a great time making “off the book” shapes lol

It was amazing The teacher was great, she checked in on us regularly and taught us a number of different shapes! Other staff were incredible also, super friendly and made the experience more personalised. Was so happy they let us make so many dumplings and gave us containers to take them home to freeze. Inspired me to want to make them at home myself!

What was the teacher like? He was lovely and tried his best to demonstrate different dumpling making techniques despite his R wrist being injured
How was the venue (if applicable)? it was a good size
If materials were provided, did you like them? it was nice to be able to see which ingredients were included in each dumpling
Was the experience good value for money? yes
What did you do / learn? learning different dumpling style techniques
What did you like most? being able to eat what we made!

Pretty fun experience because it was new and at the end the food was delicious. The teacher was lovely, service was fast, everything was organised very well. I would recommend it to any newbies.
Great fun, lots of dumplings, very basic folds making it easy to do. My friend showed us some folds she does at home and I think she was hoping to learn more folds to try. Very generous with the amount of dumplings we got to make and eat. Wish the drinks package started earlier, only really used about 1 hour of it and took a while to arrive. I recommend starting it as soon as you arrive as there was a wait for the class to start after the set commencement time. People at the venue and host was lovely and welcoming. Made ample accommodations for the vegetarian in our group to avoid cross contamination. Something different to try!

The concept is awesome but the actual class is not great. We were shown a brief demonstration of 2 dumplings shapes and then the teacher left us to make the dumplings on our own. The teacher didn’t stick around to give us feedback or help. The dumplings were then cooked for us and we were able to eat them on site. The whole experience lasted a maximum of 1.5hrs despite being advertised as 3hrs. Very disappointing as we loved the concept of a dumplings making class but the experience was a let down.

Dumpling class was good.
Not really what we expected it, as we didn't learn how to cook them.
We made 2 flavours (meat and vego) and the kitchen cooked them for us 3 different ways.
We were seated in the restaurant at regular tables to do the making/folding.
Staff were very friendly and helpful

It was a bit difficult to fine Honkus Bar maybe better signage.
Teacher was well organised. It would have been good if he showed us what the packet of pastry looks like as I've never purchased one from the shops. Ingredients were fresh. Teacher walked around and observed and assisted where needed. Explanations and demonstrations on how to make the different shapes was clear.
We waited a fair bit for the dumplings to be cooked, they were delicious when they arrived. It would have been good if they served the dumplings with a salad. If not included in the price we would have been happy to pay for a salad, its nice if you give the customer the option, no one asked us if we wanted something else with our dumplings. Overall a great experience, great teacher, now I need to make them myself again with my family.

We enjoy so much the experience and the flavours of the food. The people were amazing. It’s true that we hope to find more teaching with some explanations about the dumplings, or the origins, or the recipes with the quantities. But in general a great experience:)
Fun to make the dumplings, great ingredients provided. Slow start to the class we were told to arrive at 1145 but the class didn't start till almost 1230. Got to make plenty of dumplings to share, would recommend.

I went there with my partner with no real expectation however from the time we arrived we were treated as a person and not a number. All the bar staff/waiters are very professional & attentive but most of all very friendly.
The dumpling class was fantastic as we had never made dumplings before these classes are designed for the beginner. The teacher was amazing with taking the time to show us individual the techniques.
Once finished making our dumplings the teacher took us to a beautiful outdoor terrace dining area were we were seated.
The dumplings were served to us steamed, pay fired & deep fried & we were waited on like any paying customer.
All in all I can’t recommend this highly enough to any age group & it was an amazing experience.

All we really learnt was how to fold the dumplings. We didn’t learn about where the dumplings come from, their history, the ingredients or alterations to the recipe. We did make lots of dumplings and I had extra to take home though which was nice. But overall it was very average, not a great atmosphere, and a bit boring. Wouldn’t recommend.

Kieran was friendly and took the time to coach us to dumping success. Honkas staff were all very polite and obliging. The venue had a fantastic atmosphere were groups had their own space. Dumplings were cooked in three ways to perfection.
We had fun at this dumpling making class. The main focus was on how to fold the dumplings, ingredients come pre chopped and the dumplings are cooked for you in the kitchen. The teacher Kieran was really friendly and knowledgeable. After the class you get your dumplings to eat in the restaurant area.

Making Dumplings was a great learning experience and fun. The teacher was entertaining and interactive with us. He really made our evening interesting.

I was under the impression that the class was about learning to make dumplings. Unfortunately not. Pre bought dumpling wrappers from Harris Farms / Woolworths were heralded as the best, and used here. Ingredients were pre-chopped too so the class didn’t learn much by means of preparation. Just to mix it all together. Then the class didn’t learn how to cook the dumplings as the venue wouldn’t allow the class into the kitchen due to insurance regulations.

The dumpling making class was excellent, the head chef was really great at explaining the different folds of dumplings. The venue was a little cold as the large door was open, however it was also a cold night. The end results were also delicious and cooked wonderfully.

Was a great class. You got to sit to make the dumplings, which is a bonus compared to other classes where you stand for 3 hours! It was hard to hear the teacher, but that's because he had to wear a mask so hopefully soon that won't be the case. The dumplings were DELICIOUS, and would happily do it all again. Easy to do, learned a lot, and eating them certainly was a highlight!

We loved this class! Fun location, we enjoyed being able to order cocktails while making the dumplings. By the end of the class we all felt confident in folding the 3 styles of dumplings and will hopefully try to recreate them at home soon. Note you don't actually cook the dumplings (this is done by the kitchen) but we were more than happy to just eat our creation at the end. Great night out.
Really enjoyed the class. We made more dumplings than we could eat! Really enjoyed the Teacher and the venue. Would definitely recommend to others!

The venue was an awesome set up, open plan with lots of room for a big-team activity.

We also tried the chicken katsu which was delicious. Definitely an awesome team bonding experience!

What a great experience. The set up was professional and efficient. Everything was ready to go. I came a little late (sorry) but I was attended to by no less than 3 instructors to get me up to speed. Three different dumpling wrapping styles were covered. I really appreciated working my way up from easiest to hardest. To top it off, I had the pleasure of enjoying the dumplings I made. As did my room mates, as I was able to bring home 2 containers full of dumplings.

A group of colleagues and I took the dumpling making class and thoroughly enjoyed it. We started off inside the venue grouped at smaller tables. We made two lots of dumplings one vegetarian and the other pork based. The ingredients were all chopped and ready for us to mix, the teachers were helpful and clear in their instructions and we learned how to fold the pastry to make 4 different shapes. Our dumpling were then steamed, pan fried and deep fried for us. We were moved to a long communal table where we all got to eat the fruit of our labour. Would definitely recommend this class.

The teacher and other chefs were very friendly and helpful. Once we arrived the class was set up in a seperate room and the teacher explained everything. It was a nice venue as we were also able to order drinks whilst we did the class, and all the staff came to check if we needed more drinks etc. We learnt aloft of different dumpling folds Everything was provided and was good quality

I booked the dumpling making class for my mum’s birthday and we had a wonderful time. The staff were helpful and attentive, and the chef was lovely. I have made dumplings many times before, but I learned a few new tricks in this class. Thoroughly recommend!

Ingredients were good and tasted awesome, teacher was very friendly. Perhaps explaining the method in more detail at the start will make the prepping process more smoother :)

The head chef taking the class was fantastic and helpful, showing us all the proper dumpling making techniques and being friendly throughout. Venue had great vibes and was well maintained. Good value for money, made enough dumplings to feed a family of 6. Great date idea or to get out of the house to do something fun. Would highly recommend.

Fun and easy dumpling class, perfect for beginners. Very friendly teacher and staff. Great value, and fun getting to eat your own dumplings after the class. Recommend doing this with a friend or as a couple, as the whole class don't eat together.

Class was good, although we didn’t get a recipe for the dumplings as all ingredients were pre measured. The class was a bit packed in too.

Yummy food and fun class!
Learnt some fun things, would’ve liked to watch how the dumplings were cooked though!
Overall a good and fun experience.
The class was great, Cindy was an excellent teacher, she was patient and explained each step clearly. It was also a nice surprise to make our own rice paper rolls. The gentleman who introduced us to our teacher was a bit rude though, the way he spoke about the her was a bit degrading Eg. She is soft spoken so we'll turn the music down, and saying she is too quick and we'd have to ask her to show us again, she wasn't too quick and she did a great job of teaching us, he should have highlighted her talents.

Venue was cute and lively, an awesome vibe! The teachers were fantastic also! Kinda wish a couple of drinks were included in the class price but I can also understand why it wasn’t an option. It was a lot of fun!

Lovely venue and great atmosphere despite the rainy weather! Instructor was very helpful and we now have new dumpling folding techniques to master. It would have been great if we were able to do the whole cooking process not just the preparation.

The class overall was very fun! Got to meet so many nice people and have a great time.
The set up took a bit of time to get ready, seems like they weren’t prepared by the 5pm start time, but honestly that was the only glitch the whole night.
The teacher was very nice, just a little bit shy to start! But once we got into it she really opened up. Thank you for teaching us so many awesome techniques!
Great class , lovely teacher, learned so much. Thank you Would love this lean more advanced skills

Great value for money and absolutely perfect for our event! I loved everything about it - except maybe the lingering food baby the next morningthe food was just way too delicious to resist.
