This was a really fun introduction to tawainese cooking. I appreciated that I could sign up as a solo traveler, because not all cooking schools allow that. Since I was solo, there was a family with kids attending the same class. Our instructor was great with them too so this class is clearly also good for families. I liked the careful instructions and how we got to make several dishes which worked nice because some things needed time to cook. Overall, this was a well-run very professional school.

So much fun and a great experience for the kids. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Taiwanese cuisine
Hosts were very friendly and very knowledgeable about Taiwanese cuisine. The course was fun and food was delicious with easy steps to follow
The cooking class was great and the food was so yummy - the best xiaolongbao I had!
Fantastic cooking class; teachers went above and beyond and even worked with us on a vegetarian option!
Amazing tour that really takes you to dishes you’d never find/order on your own. Skylar was wonderful and very knowledgeable on every thing we ate. I’ve been on a lot of food tours and this was one of the best.
What a fun experience, we had kids from 7 to 12 with us and were worried they may get bored or antsy. They always had something to do and food to eat. The class was a great lunch activity and some of us couldn’t even eat all the food we made so much.
Incredibly experience! Clear instructions and a great cooking session, with all the fun and none of the cleanup required ;)
The environment is very comfortable, clean, and spacious, and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. All the dishes were delicious and filling and we'd highly recommend this experience!
A truly amazing and fun experience. The entrance was a little confusing to find if you are very familiar with the area. The restaurant workers next door were able to point me in the right direction! The instructors were so friendly and patient. Makes even the most novice chef feel like a pro. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who wants a half day activity. Already recommended to my friends who frequently visit Taipei
It was a great experience! It was well organized ,productive and hands-on class. I have a confidence to make soup dumpling now.:)
Great cooking class! Very well organised, with all ingredients prepared in advance, well explained and food was absolutely delicious! Very friendly atmosphere and we got certificate with printed recipes! Highly recommended 😊
This was a great experience and had an amazing time learning all the dishes the host was epic and answered all the questions and substitutions We were vegetarian and they accommodated sooo well
The class was very well done, easy to follow instructions , very neat and clean work spaces. The recipes and pictures were provided to us at the completion of the class , no need to take notes. You did not leave hungry. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend them.
The instructors were friendly, took lots of pictures, gave good directions, and the cleanliness and atmosphere inside were excellent. I enjoyed all the food I made and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taipei!
Great class - instructor was very thorough and spoke English really well. Enjoyed the instruction and of course the eating afterwards.
Great experience and a good way to try your hand at some Taiwanese cooking! Soup dumplings were super yummy and fun to make!
The team at Cooking Fun Taiwan was amazing before we arrived as well as the class itself! We attended with a mixed-generation and language group (English and Chinese) including two 10-year olds. One of my daughters has pretty extensive dietary restrictions, which they were able help manage by communicating with us ahead of time and customizing her entire cooking experience! She was able to participate and make her own special crystal dumplings and they made sure her soup was safe for her to eat. I can't tell you how much of a relief that was. Plus, the class was SUPER FUN for everyone in our group from the 80-year old grandparent to our 10-year old kids! Serena was an amazing instructor and very observant (providing extra help when she realized that the hard-of-hearing Chinese speaking grandparents needed specific/special explanation). I can't recommend this activity enough! Bonus: you get to have a nice and pretty substantial lunch!!!!
One of the highlights of our 7 day trip to Taipei. Came with my 17 year old son. Not only was it fun and inviting, the end-product dishes were DELICIOUS! I would do it again and highly recommend!
The class was very fun. Vivian was very personal and patient. The fact that the team take pictures and videos is a great way to make the experience memorable. The certificate you get at the end is both your certificate and the recipes so it's an easy way to try to recreate the dishes at home.
Would rate 4.5 if I could, only due to scheduling issues a couple of days before the class. Once there, the class was fantastic, instruction was clear and concise and cooking was fun.
First rate experience! My wife is a great cook and I’m an “all thumbs” novice. We both had a wonderful time. The staff is outstanding and made it a fun for all.
This is an amazing class! We were walked through the process of the dishes with such detail and patience - friendly for all ages and experience levels! Would highly recommend!! The staff even take photos and videos for you throughout and send them all to you immediately at the end!
Such a fun cooking class for our family! Dumplings, chicken soup and Boba were all fantastic. Kitchen was very clean. Loved getting the recipes and all of the pictures they took of us at the end of class.
Wonderful cooking class! They were so patient and helped each of us with our struggling soup dumplings. Definitely a great use of our time in Taipei.
Serena was amazing in showing us how to cook everything and helping us learn along the way. The level of detail that went into the event - from overall instructions to individual ingredients - was so well structured and thought through. The end products were so tasty that we gobbled them up with nothing wasted! And we got certificates! Highly recommended….
Recommending this to everyone who comes! The food was AMAZING and there was A LOT of it too! Teacher Sandy and teacher Vivienne were soooo nice and very detail oriented to make sure we understood every step of it. The kitchen and seating area were very clean and organized.
The class was entertaining throughout the 2.5 hours. The instructors are clearly engaged with everyone. We make 3 dishes - a vermicelli soup, a soup dumpling, tofu salad, & bubble tea from scratch. For vegetarians, if you let then know in advance, they have all vegetarian ingredients set up. This was a filling meal & a very enjoyable cooking class!!!
This was so much fun! Very organised and you’ll walk away very full as the food is delicious! The instructors were so patient and informative. Loved it!!
What a wonderful way to spend your morning. The dishes were amazing, the kitchen was beautiful and perfectly equipped. There were only four of us and the overall experience was fantastic. I will be making these dishes at home.
Class is well organized and easy to follow. The staff are friendly and patient. They let you take your time to cut your vegetables and practice wrapping your dumplings. The owner Vivian gave me great tips on wrapping technique and how to simmer the ginger in sesame oil to make delicious chicken soup. And best of all, you get to eat a yummy multi-course meal that you just cooked and finish with a boba tea drink! I was so full after class that I didn’t need dinner. Fantastic and fun class to learn Taiwanese cooking!
We really enjoyed the cooking class. My daughter is vegetarian and the accommodations made for her were excellent. I loved the layout of the cooking studio and that as best I can tell this was a family business.
Clear and patient instructor, clean and highly organized setting, delicious dishes! I have a greater appreciation for Taiwanese cuisine after this class. Highly recommend!
It was absolutely one of the best moment in Taiwan! They were so amazing, and nice to my three children and their grandparents as well! We all had such a great time and the foods that we made were just phenomenal!!! They gave us the recipe in English and Japanese as well ( which we asked in both)! Absolutely recommend to take this cooking class if you like to cook ;))
Wonderful experience. Very friendly and professional staff and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the experience
Fun way to learn more about the delicious food of Taiwan! We made an amazing lunch with the help of the friendly and attentive hostesses! We left with new knowledge, smile on our face and happy tummies!
We had a great time! Our teacher was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. The recipes were also authentic and delicious. We definitely recommend this even if you have just a few days in Taipei.
They contacted us a couple of days before and asked us to move to a different date. We were unable to do that so we had to cancel. Disappointed.
Experiencing famous Taiwanese food by making them ourselves. We will appreciate Xiao long Bao more when we eat them. It is challenging but good fun for our family. After making all menus, we ate them at the cooking school. Not for take home.
The instructors were excellent at communicating and keeping the lesson interesting. The food was delicious as well.
The staff were all amazing and lovely, our teacher was hands on and super helpful. Would recommend and suggest for all who come to taiwan.
This is a MUST-do while in Taipei! It is so beautifully set up and organized. The food we cooked was delicious and easy enough for our 10-year-old to follow along and feel confident he was doing it correctly. We did this on our first day in Taipei, and the morning of the class we had a 7.2 earthquake, we got a text from this company telling us our safety was more important and that if we were not comfortable getting to the class a full refund was an option-They were so warm and welcoming to all of us. It was a perfect way to spend the morning. We would definitely do this again.
We enjoyed the class, learned several things about Taiwanese cooking and created a wonderful lunch. The instructors were helpful and patient and our fellow classmates contributed to a fun, terrific experience. I 100% recommend this class!
This was an amazing experience with an expert chef. We thoroughly enjoyed making the food and the tasting how delicious it was!!!
So fun! Really enjoyed the guide's humor and patience. She made the the experience memorable. The other people in the class were very sociable. Delicious food.
Super fun class with great instructors. Nice way to bring some recipes home after a long trip! Would do it again!
Fantastic cooking class. Fun, great food, great staff, clean kitchen. One of the best cooking classes I ever had!! Do not miss!
This class was fantastic! Vivian and her team made us all feel warm, and very welcomed. The instruction on each dish was detailed, and delicious! Definitely worth the time and money!
The teachers are all extremely patient and nice. Apart from offering the cookery lesson, they have talked a lot about Taiwanese culture.
Making the Xiao Long Bao was challenging, but fun. Friendly & knowledgeable instructors and assistants. Highly recommend this class. Each dish was delicious and recipes are provided to everyone.
