Patty Chen's Dumpling School

The dumpling making class was fun and delicious! I especially appreciated that the class was not cancelled even though a few other people ended up not attending. Marc could have easily cancelled the class. I have signed up for events in the past only to find out that there was a minimum size that was not shared, so when I arrived, it was cancelled because of low attendance. Marc was a great teacher and had so many stories that made the class a great experience. It would be great for a team experience, as well as fun for a group of friends. All of the details, like rolling pins, were well thought out. It was a great afternoon.

Marco made it easy to learn the techniques of making dumplings. We had a great time and got to know each other and share our experiences. The food was all so tasty and I look forward to trying to make my own dumplings at home.

Went here at part of a 13 person work outing. Patty and Marc welcomed us with open arms, and you can tell how much they live food, cooking, and especially DUMPLINGS. They have a very personal approach to group teaching which is very personal and informative. We had a great time laughing, assembling and eating dumplings. Would definitely recommend for small corporate outings which are much more interesting than your basic bowling/paint/movie company outing.

It's a worth-of-visiting spot! They offer a lot of different types of dumplings, from pan-fried to boiled, from seafood to vegetarian. If you are not a fan of traditional dumplings, they also have some creative flavors, like kimchi. I tried kimchi goyte, xiao long bao, crab ragoon, and curry bowl. (not at once, of course! haha) Curry bowl is my top favorite, not only that you can have everything in one bowl (there were 4 dumplings, bok choy, bean sprout, an egg, and the curry) but also the curry tastes like the one that I had in my hometown! I'm so happy that now I know what I can do to cure my homesickness :D

Server was friendly but the food was far from satisfactory. Ordered the Bruce Lee (Xiao Long Bao) and kimchee dumplings. The dough was too thick, over-worked, and undercooked. They market many of the menu options as "Taiwanese" but it is far from authentic. Way over priced for the quality and portions. You would have better luck going to China Town and getting some real dumplings. Or you know, head down a block to H-mart and get better frozen dumplings for half the price. Dishes look pretty though?

Just took the dumpling class this morning with Chef Marco. It was a team building experience for my work team. So much fun! And so much food. Chef Marco made the whole experience enjoyable. I felt like I was cooking with a long time friend, not someone I just met. All of the food, not just the dumplings, was delicious. I highly recommend this experience for family and friends. I'm already trying to plan a trip back with some friends, that's how much I enjoyed the experience. Definitely something different and worth the ride through Cambridge. Well done, Chef Marco and Chef Patty Chen! I'll be back soon.

My fiancé and I had a lot of fun taking this class together! In the class, Marc taught us how to make several types of dumplings, which we were able to eat in addition to a few other dishes Marc prepared for the class in advance. After the class, Marc sent out a pdf with all the recipes for everything we had tried in class. We can't wait to try out the recipes! We would highly recommend this class for a fun experience to do with a friend or significant other!

Wonderful and delicious and great fun! Chef Marco is the perfect host and teacher. He is attentive to all guests and makes everyone feel welcome in his kitchen. We learned how to make a variety of dumplings and enjoyed eating what we created. Everyone had a fabulous time with Chef Marco and we are eager to return for our next round of lessons. Highly recommend the Dumpling School for birthday parties and for team building events, a fun, memorable, and delicious way to gather with friends and colleagues.
