This class was by no means the best class that is available. The Teacher was not welcoming, nor very enthusiastic. He made it very clear that the class was simply us just being there to do it and not an experience, as he had other tables to wait on. He only interacted with us when it was to tell us to 1.put on gloves 2.mix the ingredients 3.how to fold them - that was it.
The class itself was not what was expected. You do not make the dumpling dough, they are pre-made dumpling wrappers that are bought (not even made in house). You then get to actually “making” the dumplings by mixing all the ingredients needed for the dumplings, which are already laid out in portions for you. Additionally to this, the teacher does not pay attention to if you had dietary requirements, even after being asked on the booking he double checked only after we had already started making the dumplings and touching meat. The only thing that I felt this class was useful for was that you get taught two different ways to fold dumplings. You are then left for you to make all the dumplings until the fillings run out and then moved to a dining table, as opposed to the table where you were making it which was already in the open dining area. For this specific aspect, me and my partner were placed on a big table to ourselves to make the dumplings, while the other six people in the class were on a separate big table. Why not put us all on the same table or pull numerous tables together so it feels more like an experience. You are then served the dumplings you made in three different ways - fried, steams and deep fried. However, there is no consistency with how many of each you get. Me and my partner got about six fried ones while the people on the next table got about half of their dumplings fried. The place was also not very clean, as when we got sat at our table, the table water had Sriracha sauce on the rim, the glasses weren’t cleaned properly, and you got wood pre-packaged chopsticks. But there was a bonus that everyone got one drink on the house (we didn’t book the drinks and dumpling class), and it came with a metal straw which was nice.
The environment was loud, and the EDM music they had on was not helping.
This class only ran for one hour, with making the dumplings taking about 30mins and then how ever long you want to eat for. They do give you take away containers for the dumplings you can’t manage to eat which was nice too.
Overall a very disappointing experience and not at all worth the trip there for.

The teacher was very clear with their directions and often gave us tips as we went on to improve our rug making! It was an amazing vibe in the studio and very welcoming. It was so quick to pick up and love the freedom of choosing our own designs. Looking forward to going back soon!
