Hudson Table Hoboken

When I saw that Hudson Table offers Chef Competition events, I knew it would be a fun option for my husband and me to check out. The format is basically like the show Chopped – two chefs (with the help of a sous chef) must prepare 3 different courses (app/entrée/dessert) using the ingredients from a mystery basket and are judged by the group. They have a certain amount of time for each round/course, and each mystery basket ingredient must only be used once over the 3 dishes. Each event is capped at 20 people – 12 seats at the counter and 8 seated at two tables behind the counter. Counter seats are only $10 more however, if the counter is sold out, it's totally fine to have a table seat. They encourage you to stand up and walk around, engaging with the chefs as they are preparing each dish. They have tasting sticks and allow you to taste sauces as they are being prepared. It's an intimate setting and it's a great way to learn about their techniques and the various ingredients. Watching them plate 20 dishes is incredible. All the food they prepared was delicious – there wasn't a bad dish. It's basically like having two full 3-course meals however you can take home any leftovers if you can't finish it all. You don't know the mystery ingredients ahead of time and they can't accommodate any allergies/preferences so that's something to keep in mind if you have allergies or are a picky eater. Our main proteins were chicken and steak so no issues there. At the end of each course, you have a score card where you rate each dish on presentation, creativity, and taste. At the end of the final round, we went around the room and told the chefs who we think should be crowned the night's winner. No getting out of telling them to their faces who was your favorite! It was a really fun night. The hostess was great and kept everyone pumped up and made sure our carafe of water was full. Both chef Ed and Guillermo were really cool and friendly – it was great to chat with them. They are amazing chefs. Some tips – don't be late! Don't dress too warmly especially if you are seated at the counter – it gets warm if you are near the stove burners. Bring wine – they have ice buckets for white/rosé. Book as soon as the calendar goes live if you want a counter seat. You are going to smell like oil/fried food when you leave… so ladies, don't get a fresh blowout ahead of time!

Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone! Great for a date night, special celebration, or just something different than the regular dining out. The food was delicious and we had a great time talking and tasting with Chef Ed and Chef Angie. I think sitting front row at the bar section (as opposed to the tables) really enhanced our experience, so would suggest those tickets. Great that it’s a BYOB, and you’ll definitely leave feeling full. Great food and well-organized fun night!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a private Chef Competition event here, and the overall experience was outstanding. Every member of the team was exceptional and thoughtful from start to finish. The planning team was incredibly engaged and made the whole process feel effortless. The competition team — with Chef Erin and Chef Tom — infused creativity and care into every beautifully prepared, delicious dish. Our hostess, Allison, was wonderful and attentive, ensuring everything ran seamlessly throughout the evening. Heartfelt thanks to the entire stellar team for creating such a joyful, creative, and truly memorable celebration to mark this special orbit that I’ll always cherish.

We recently hosted our engagement party at Hudson Tables Rooftop, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Schuyler was very communicative leading up to the event, which made the planning process stress-free. On the day of the party, the entire staff was attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and thoughtfully customized to exactly what my fiancé and I wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Hudson Tables to anyone hosting a special event.

My friend Amy and I had the BEST time at Hudson Table! We took a pasta-making class with Chef Bob and it was such a fun, hands-on experience from start to finish. Chef Bob was amazing — super knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything in a way that was easy to follow. You can really tell how passionate he is about cooking and teaching, which made the whole class even more enjoyable. Ryan and another staff member (I’m so sorry I forgot her name!) were also so kind and helpful throughout the class and made everything run smoothly. I’d 100% come back and would definitely take another class with Chef Bob again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different and fun to do in Hoboken!

What an evening! We were blown away by the entire experience. An astounding performance by every chef. We felt so spoiled to end up with a premium ingredients mystery box! Both meals provided by Chef Erin and Chef Ed were absolutely five star quality. We had many highlights, no low lights!

I surprised my fiance with an evening at Hudson Table for their Dumplings 101 class. We had a wonderful night! Hudson Table is BYOB and they provide glasses for whatever you are sipping on. They also provided water and bread with a delicious pesto. The layout of our class was 3 tables of 4. We worked with the other 2 people at our table to prepare all 4 dumplings for the evening. Out class started out with introductions and a basic cutting demo. We cut up all the necessary ingredients, then gathered for the dumpling demo. After assembling our dumplings, it was time to cook! Throughout the class, the chef and assistants were constantly visiting the tables, providing feedback, and assisting. They were very encouraging and reassuring! There was also pop music playing in the background. We sat and ate family style once everything was complete. We did not end up eating our exact dumplings due to splitting into 2 tables of 6, so our group of 4 got split up. This did not affect the taste of our creations. All 4 dumplings were delicious, as well as the 3 different sauces. We even got to take our leftover filling and dumplings home to enjoy later! I am looking forward to attending a chef's competition in the future and I would definitely come back for another class! Thank you!

We loved the experience Chef Bob, Gian and Sophia created for us!!Fun, clean, and the sushi and miso soup came out delicious!!I would definitely recommend the Sushi class and come hungry!!! Thank you again Chef Bob and team for the lovely time.

Hudson Table - Hoboken tickets are the most coveted tickets right now. The 1st half of next month's tickets goes live mid month at 12pm and the second half goes live one week later. After 2 months of setting up reminders and alarms, I was able to secure two 1st Row Counter Seating tickets to the live 3 course chef competition between Chef Koray and Chef Simon on Friday, June 07, 2024 from 6:30pm-9:30pm at Hudson Table - Hoboken to celebrate both myself and my friend's June birthdays. We both are fans of cooking shows like Chopped, Iron Chef, and Hell's Kitchen. The day before the event, I received a reminder with the address, street parking and a nearby parking garage information, reminder that the event cannot accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies, no changes (refund/reschedule) to your reservation, and the event is BYOB so we could bring beer, wine or champagne to enjoy throughout the event (hard liquor is not permitted). There is a Wine and Liquor (Spirits) store located right through the tunnel called Wine Dad's so no worries if you can't buy anything beforehand. My friend and I took the 126 NJ Transit bus from Port Authority and it was a very quick ride and we didn't have to worry about parking. Amanda, the wonderful hostess, checked us in and showed us where we could sit on the counter. A kale pistachio pesto dip with bread welcomed us. This dip was delicious and there was an opportunity to purchase it as well. She also gave us a wine bucket with ice for our two bottles of wine. Around 6:30pm, she welcomed all of us to the competition and went through some housekeeping items like showing us the sample spoons, the ability to walk around and interact with the chefs, judging rules, agenda for the night (40 minutes to prepare the appetizer, 35 minutes to prepare the entree, and 25 or 30 minutes to prepare the desserts), no ties for the winner, and then the chefs introduced themselves. Chef Koray and Chef Simon faced off in a multi-course culinary battle; Iron Chef style. They used mystery ingredients to create an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. I was able to see every step and converse with them while the chefs and sous-chefs prepared the meals. At the end of each course, I judged each plate on presentation, taste, and creativity. Once all the courses were prepared and served, we went around the room to announce who our winner was. It was such a tough decision because all the dishes prepared by the chefs and sous-chefs were so good, flavorful, delicious, appetizing, and succulent. If you cannot finish the food, there are to go boxes and those definitely came in handy. This experience is definitely an unforgettable one. I would love to do this chef competition again and highly recommend it. The other people in the class were really friendly too and it was nice to share this experience with them.

Came here on a Sunday night for Sunday pasta dinner class. The place was a bit hard to find even with the directions given. I parked in the trader joes parking decking because i couldn't bother look for parking. Upon entering we were greated, checked in, and told to sit anywhere. Me and my sister sat at a table and were the inly ones without another pair, but we were fine with that. We were given instructions on how to properly use a knife and different cutting techniques. I thought that we would've been cooking along side of the Chef, but we were basically given directions on how to cook stuff and had to take it from there. Although the chef and the sous chefs were very helpful , I would've rather cooked alongside the chefs going step-by-step instead of just giving instructions on a piece of paper. Since me and my sister were the only two in our sector, we had a lot of help from the Chef and the sous chef to make sure we could keep up with everything. Ultimately, the class was very good. I'm definitely going to schedule another class. Our food came out amazing (it may be the best out of the whole class lol). we made Pido pasta, meatballs in a red sauce, a grilled, Caesar salad, and biscotti cookies. we were also garlic bread and ice . We had a ton of leftovers and when I mean a ton I mean a ton. The food was supposed to feed four and it was only the two of us so you can only imagine. All in all, I had a great experience, and I would recommend this to anybody.

A Fantastic Experience Led by Guillermo and His Team I recently had the pleasure of hosting a company team event at Hudson Table, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, Guillermo and his team provided exceptional service, making our experience truly memorable. Firstly, the space itself was perfect for our event. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the ideal setting for a fun and engaging cooking session. The kitchen setup was fantastic, allowing everyone to participate comfortably and interact with ease. Speaking of the cooking experience, it was nothing short of amazing. We where guided through each step with expertise and enthusiasm. From chopping vegetables to mastering new cooking techniques, every moment was filled with laughter and learning. And let's talk about the food - wow! Not only did we create delicious dishes together, but the end result was truly impressive. The ingredients were fresh, the recipes were creative, and the flavors were out of this world. Plus, there was plenty of food to go around - we left feeling fully satisfied and eager to return for more. Overall, I cannot recommend Hudson Table enough for team events or any culinary experience. If you're looking for a unique and enjoyable outing with great food and ambiance, look no further than Hudson Table. A huge thank you to Guillermo and his team for making our event truly special. We will definitely be back!

Visited the Hudson Table Rooftop for a fixed menu and absolutely loved it. 5 course meal including a Greek salad, shrimp dish, eggplant dish, beef dish and pistachio tiramisu. Great views and live music were both a nice added bonus to the night. BYOB.

I surprised my man with tickets to the Chef Competition. The experience exceeded my expectations. Two talented chefs competed in a timed challenge to showcase their skills & creativity using a basket of mystery ingredients. Think of it as a Chopped & Top Chef crossover episode. 2 chefs, 3 courses - that's SIX plates of food! It was a bit pricey & hard to book (you have to quite literally have reminders & notifications for yourself to book in time) but completely worth it. It's also BYOB! We brought a few white claws & it was perfect to sip on. The chefs were personable & friendly & enjoyed talking with us while they were cooking. I reminded one of the chefs that he forgot to add an ingredient lol Parking is eh, we parked around the corner & across the street in a supermarket underground lot. Overall 9.5/10 I can't wait to come back.

Always an amazing experience from start to end. My fiancé and I booked a class for my birthday and had the best time. The chef was phenomenal! Her approach to cooking and the individuals in class was perfect. She made us all feel comfortable and had us laughing the entire night. The menu for the evening was homemade pasta, bread, salad and donut with Nutella. It was out of this world! Delicious. She even surprised me with a birthday candle and sang happy birthday to me. It was a great surprise. Will certainly be back again!

I have always wanted to come here but could never justify the price. My sister wanted to go and I immediately said yes. I can now say it is worth the price. But then again, I think knowledge is power, so your miles may vary if you don't think education is worth it's weight in gold. Like knowing how to hold a knife correctly when chopping things and not mixing your finger tips into the stir fry. For example. We did a Mexican meatless Monday and rolled up with a party of four. If we hadn't, we would have had to socialize with strangers, which I am sure would have been fine, but I do suggest coming here with a party of 4. Either way, we were put in pairs to carry out half the dishes on the menu each and it was super fun. There was so much food to take home also. And again, with a party of 4 it was easy to split that up graciously. I'm sure breaking bread with strangers if you don't come with a party of 4 is less awkward than I am making it out to be. I just like writing "party fo 4" a lot.

Hudson Table did a fantastic job with my friend's bridal shower. The space was a good size, comfortably seating 4 tables of 8. The food was delicious, ranging from Mediterranean appetizers to salmon and lamb entrees. Service was attentive and helpful and we were well taken care of. It's a great spot if you need to throw a private event. I'm excited to come back for their cooking classes!

It was such a pleasant experience. We went there for a birthday celebration and the food was amazing. Roof top and live music added another dimension. We'll definitely be back as we loved Chef Karakilic as well.

Had a fantastic team dinner. Sam, Dre and Drew were amazing! So much fun cooking together and enjoying the meal together!

We had so much fun cooking three different types of pasta! The first half of the class was explaining the ingredients and how to prepare the dish, then we got to experience the cooking process. Every time we try to book more classes they are usually sold out so I'm hoping to try another class someday!

I've been wanting to try a class here and finally got in. I took the seafood class and made a few seafood dishes. I was impressed by the amount of dishes we made. We made swordfish, filet of sole, mussels, and shrimp pasta. I learned a lot about cooking these dishes. It was a BYOB class so wine and cooking always helps. The food was pretty good. It's definitely a good bonding place for people to meet over cooking and conversation since you are working in groups of four. I'll definitely be back. The only issue we had was feeling like our group wasn't getting enough assistance from the chef. We had to start one of our dishes over because it was ruined by the time he got over. The other staff there weren't that helpful they were cleaning up more so than helping. We had a lot of food so we sat down to eat pretty late. It's still a good time though. I hope one day Hudson Table does a singles night for cooking because you can't book if you don't have a pair which is unfortunate.

I held my 40th Birthday dinner here and was very disappointed with how things went. I wish I went with a different venue. I booked this venue on 2/6/22 for a 7/30/22 event. I spent over $10,000 on decor, my cakes, the venue and wine and beer. I was expecting to provide a unique experience to my guests. At 1pm on the day of my event, I was emailed and told that the AC was not working and the area was "quite warm". They said they would provide fans and place tables and chairs on their patio at no extra charge. (..as if I asked for this) It was also stated that the owner has graciously gifted me champagne. At 1pm, I had all the alcohol that I needed for my event. I didn't want champagne. It was almost 90 degrees outside. Upon arrival, it wasn't quite warm. It was extremely hot and uncomfortable. They only had 2 fans blowing in a literal kitchen. They also don't have a patio. They put 2 tables and about 8 chairs outside in the alley next to their building. An alley that had random people walking by the tables with dogs and people on scooters. This was not the experience that I paid all this money for. I purchased two cakes for my event. On both cakes the bakery placed a label that said that they should be eaten at room temperature. It was so hot, that the cakes couldn't be left out. They were served cold and weren't eaten the way they should have been served. One cake was supposed to be on display the entire time.I wasted money paying for a display stand for it. It couldn't stay out due to the temperature. My menu was finalized on 7/24/22 and included sorbet, fruit, tea and coffee for my guests. My guests did not receive any sorbet, fruit, tea or coffee. My event designer ordered flowers, candles, plates, and cutlery for 35 guest to sit at 5 tables. When the florist arrived to set up, I was informed that it was only 4 tables arranged in the room to be decorated. This forced my guest to sit closer together. I wasted money purchasing items for 5 tables. Due to the heat, my designer did not place as many candles out that she ordered to minimize extra heat. More money that I wasted due to the venue's lack of air. I couldn't enjoy the food as much as I wanted to. It was way too hot. I basically drank most of the night to try to keep cool. The day after my event the owner sent an email stating that he's refunding $300 for the inconvenience of the temperature. This is pretty insulting. I responded with a list of issues and it's been over 48 hours and I haven't received a response. I definitely won't ever consider spending my money here again. Editing to add: Allen was able to reply to this review in 10 minutes but did not have the professional courtesy to respond to an email. I'll add a screenshot of the temperature since he lied and said it was 75 degrees. I had one vegan guest. He didn't get sorbet. He got non dairy ice cream. I'll add a screenshot to show that all guest were supposed to have it. I'll also add a screenshot to show where the staff said it was a patio. And it was not a patio. It's a literal alleyway for the public. The balloon arch did not take up 15% of the space of the room. Your math isn't mathing. I'll upload a pic of the beautiful arch. A 5th table would not have fit there. My event planner met with you and worked with your staff when creating the floor plan. Your staff knew we planned for 35. How would 35 people fit at 4 tables that can fit 8 people max? So many lies in your response. This team he says was there 2 and a half hours prior did not exist. Everyone was scheduled to arrive between 4:30 and 5:30 and If this was an issue then you would have stated that in the email you sent. Set up wasn't an issue because I paid extra for extra time for the vendors to set up. You're only mentioning anything now because of this review. I'll upload a screenshot of the email you sent me after the event. I stated that 300 wasn't sufficient because you didn't do enough to make sure my guests were comfortable. I paid for an indoor dinner. Not for my guests to sit in an alleyway. You provided 2 fans. 2 fans does nothing for 35 guests. There were other issues besides the AC that were in your control. You did not do enough. You could have made sure there were more fans or a portable AC unit could have been purchased. You were aware of this issue at 1pm. The event started at 7pm. Plenty of time to take action. You neglected to do the right thing. He stated the event was 2700. That was incorrect. I paid a deposit of $600 in February and $2824 in July which included the mandatory tip. Screenshots are attached to show another lie from Allen. Beware of the extreme lack of professionalism of the owner of this business. He doesn't care that the experience was ruined. Ok

What a fun experience!! The chef Corey was amazing! He made the class so interactive and answered any questions we had. They don't rush you through the process and really explain everything thoroughly! You can enjoy the cooking classes whether you're a beginner or an expert. The food was also incredible! The tables are set up for 4 so the food is shared. Really great date or double date idea! Another plus is that it is byob. Will definitely be coming back!

SO much fun!! We came here for a bachelorette party, and Sam was our chef for the night. We learned so much and had a great time. There were tons of leftovers so even though it is a little pricey, what you learned, the recipe, and the fun you have with a group of people is worth it. I would love to come back here when I'm back in the area!

I have wanted to take a class here for awhile, but they sell out very quickly. I had nothing to do for New Year's Eve so I signed up for one of their dinners. It was very underwhelming. I had thought it would be interactive, where the chef would introduce his dishes and why he chose them. Instead the hurried staff slapped our dinners in front of us and tried to get us in and out before the next sitting. There was no ambiance, the other patrons were unfriendly, and to be honest, the food was not good at all. BYOB too, which is something I find very annoying about NJ. I would not visit this place again.

Love the classes here! My boyfriend and I have done two - one cooking class and one cooking competition. I don't have enough good things to say about it. It's such a beautiful and open space. The chefs are so incredibly talented, it's amazing to watch and be a part of. The cooking class was very hands on, I flambed something for the very first time and felt much safer doing so in their kitchen than I would in mine! We have made the dessert from this class multiple times (caramelized banana and chocolate croissant bread pudding, DROOL) and it is ALWAYs a hit. The cooking competition was so awesome. Two chefs go head to head and make a three course dinner with a basket of mystery ingredients that they don't find out until ~2 hours before the competition begins. You can taste test as they're cooking and ask them questions while you watch them compete. Truly, an awesome experience.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Hudson Table on Friday night with a 7 course Chef's Table Mar y Tierra menu cooked by Christina Miros. The modern-Mexican inspired menu was prepared perfectly, and we had a great evening! The pacing of the courses was great; we ended up being there for almost 3 hours, and it was fun to hear about the chef's inspirations for the menu as we dined. Proof of vaccine is required to attend (yes!!), and they are still observing socially distancing - there were 4 couples at the counter and 4 additional tables within the room. They are BYOB, so plan your drinks accordingly. It looked like one of the other groups did delivery from Wine Dad's which is just around the corner. One thing to note - it was FREEZING inside; not sure if this was a one-off or not, but maybe bring a sweater just in case!

I did a dessert making class here - we recreated Milk Bar ice cream, Magnolia banana pudding, Levain cookies, and Cinnabon cinnamon buns. Everything we made was delicious. I still think about the banana pudding!! The class was expensive, but it was worth it. The instructors were helpful and made everything easy. I had a great time doing this with a group of friends. It would also be a great date spot. Can't wait to go back to try another class!

I've never taken the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to this time, as the meal was just perfect. My wife and I went to Hudson Table for the 7 Course Plant Based Chef's Table by David Maihle, and I can't recommend it enough. We've tried plant-based / vegan cuisine all over the world, and nothing compares to the meal we had Sunday night - it was truly the best meal of our lives. David was an excellent host, and while preparing the meal, took the time to explain each dish in detail which made it that much better of an experience. The flavors were incredibly diverse, and had a richness that you rarely have in vegan food - with a wide range of tastes ranging from mushrooms he picked himself paired with thinly sliced stone fruit, to perfectly glazed eggplant with BBQ tofu spread. You could taste just how much care went into matching and preparing the dishes. We couldn't ask for a more enjoyable dining experience. We really hope to be back soon for more plant-based cooking classes or Chef's table in the future. And we'll definitely be looking to join David's next cooking experience!

I recently hosted my birthday celebration at Hudson Table on 10/21. I initially booked a private event for 22 people in July and I was contacted by Lauren immediately. She set up everything for me. When hosting a private cooking class, you are given 6 pages worth of different recipes and we chose the Japanese Surf and Turf! We were told to get there at 6:50 (event started at 7) however our chef was super flexible with time (shout out to Natalie!) upon entering I was in awe of the space and we had time to put some decor up. We were taught the first 15 minutes some cutting skills and after that it was all up to us. They prep the measurements and ingredients, and our mise en place! I was nervous we wouldn't be ready by 10pm but somehow we were! We cooked for about 2 hours and ate, drank, sang and laughed the whole time. We dined for about an hour and had cake my friend brought. Everything was delicious, the ambiance and energy was 10/10 and every single person was so happy with their experience. I will be back!

My brother graciously treated me to a rooftop dinner at Hudson Table, which included a stellar menu by Chef Koray Karakilic and music by James Calleo, one of my favorite local artists. While we had eaten in the street-level cooking school and restaurant previously, this was our first time on the roof. When the elevator let us out on the penthouse, we walked out onto the roof and were floored by the fabulous views of Hoboken, the Hudson River, and the Manhattan skyline. The dining time was perfect, as the sun was just beginning its descent. The hostess took our names and escorted us to a table at the far end of the space, with prime views of the culinary team prepping the meal and James strumming his guitar. The adventure started with Scallop Crudo, which was elegantly sprinkled with blood orange, yuzukosho, pickled mustard, avocado mousse, and forbidden rice crisps. The scallops were thickly-sliced width-wise and had a pillowy texture. The dish had notes of citrus, which were contrasted by the pop from the mustard and the refreshing taste of the mousse. The black rice crisps added floral notes and a welcome crunch. The subsequent course was a platter of Roasted Brussel Sprouts, which were cooked through but thankfully not charred. The sprouts were served over a tart meyer lemon aioli and plated with shaved breakfast radishes and aromatic nasturtium flowers. Next came a Butter Lettuce Salad, which was kicked up with slices of avocado, crescents of Persian cucumbers, shiso leaves, pickled strawberries, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, and a cool orange champagne vinaigrette. Initially, this was the dish I was least interested by, but all of the carefully curated toppings changed my thought process. In particular, the pickled strawberries were sweet, zesty, and extremely unique. From there, the meal progressed on to the main entree, a Beef Stew that had been braised in red wine, making the meat so tender that it melted in our mouths. The stew included perfectly cooked cavatelli and a rustic, roasted pumpkin purée, which was a great way of celebrating the end of the winter season. The pumpkin was a well-suited compliment to the beef, both of which were further enhanced by hints of cinnamon. Lastly, we were presented with the dessert, the first course that was plated individually, rather than family-style. A warm brownie was creatively studded with macadamia nuts, offering a creamier, more subtle flavor than the traditionally used walnut. The gooey treat was topped with macerated raspberries and a scoop of vanilla creme fraiche ice cream, which reminded me of sweet cake frosting. It really was an elevated version of a classic dessert. The Chef stopped by throughout the meal to chat and hear our feedback, which we truly appreciated. Our server was also very accommodating and gracious - opening our wine (Hudson Table is BYO!), getting us blankets when the night air became too much for us, etc. Plus, James Calleo was as enjoyable and talented as always. From the excellent food and service, to the superb view and musical accompaniment, it was a magical and engaging evening!

I cannot recommend Hudson Table enough! I've been to 3 cooking classes and all of them far exceeded expectations. I will continue going again and again. The most recent class my friends and I went to was Dim Sum with Erin Mallare. She was one of the most kind chefs and truly knew her stuff! She gave a beautiful demonstration of how to cut, chop all of our food and was an excellent support throughout the class. Our group of four had our own table, and we made the below menu. The food was absolutely fantastic! One of our friends is a vegetarian and the staff showed us how to adjust some of the items to accommodate. They truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend going to a cooking class at Hudson Table! It's BYOB and SO much fun (and also the perfect gift for friends/family). Menu: Shrimp Shumai Bok Choy Garlic and Ginger Stir fry Bacon and Egg Fried Rice Steamed Pork and Shiitake Dumplings Black Vinegar Dipping Sauce

Run don't walk to the Hudson Table for an outstanding experience. We were searching high and low for a pasta making class before my son left for college and we are so happy to have found this place! The staff, the space and the vibe was excellent! I look forward to returning again in the very near future. We left with our belly's and hearts full.

Took the Fast Food Cravings class a few weeks ago and had a great time. Gene and Eric were fantastic, knowledgeable, and personable. We cooked Chick Fil a chicken sandwiches, Shake Shack burgers, Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, and In n Out Style fries. All food was delicious and fairly easy to make. I will say there were multiple moments of not knowing exactly what to do. The directions weren't in order, and there was a lot happening in the kitchen (cooking fries, preparing the pizza, burgers grilling). Some of the directions were unclear as well; for example some of the dry ingredients for the chicken dredge (sugar, flour, salt) were already mixed together, but the paper instructed us to do that. The Mexican pizza seemed to be the consensus least popular of the bunch. I think the class could have only been improved by cutting that from the menu and focusing more on other parts of the menu. Example, we could have cut the potatoes for the fries or spent more time making the various sauces. Overall great class, highly recommend! Hudson Table is always an awesome experience.

I'm still on a high (and still full) from a fantastic experience at Hudson Table last night. Hudson Table is the only adult cooking school in the Hoboken + JC area... at least that I know of. I've thought about coming for years, but to be honest have always been a bit skeptical. Mainly because a cooking class will run you $200 for a couple. I guess I've always just thought that if I was spending 200$ on dinner that I wouldn't have to make it myself. My experience at Hudson Table definitely proved me wrong. Sure, this isn't the activity for the every day. But for a special occasion it's a really cool and different experience and while it's a little pricey I totally think it's worth it. The class is 3 hours long. I liked how intimate it was -- there are only 16 people max in each class. There are 3 instructors so it's never hard to find help if you need it. Class is BYOB so don't forget some wine or beer! We started off with a small snack and an ice breaker. After that we learned some chopping techniques from Chef Eric. Then it was off to stations for some cooking. In my opinion the class has the perfect amount of hands on cooking. Ingredients are portioned out perfectly for you which alleviates alot of time and guesswork. There are four cooks per station and you can split up what you cook. Our class had four dishes, so each duo prepared two. While you cook the three chefs will circulate around the room to help you out and make sure that everything is going smoothly. There are a ton of different classes and you can cook anything from Indian cuisine to tapas to homemade pasta. There is even an imitation fast food class. The class that I took was french surf and turf -- we cooked steak and scallops in a champagne shallot sauce, super cheesy herbed mashed potatoes and a tart with caramelized onions and bacon. The meal ended with creme brulee! Everything had a ton of butter, but that's really just the way it is when you eat a decadent French meal. Only difference is I usually don't prepare this meal myself, so I can pretend that there isn't a ton of butter involved. Overall this is something cool and different to do. It's a great chance to sharpen your chef skills, meet some new people and prepare and enjoy a delicious meal that you otherwise may have never known how to cook.

I loved the class! You do get what you pay for & I'll definitely be doing it again- it was an overall 5/5 experience from the cleanliness to the execution.

I did the prefix brunch, I told them in advance that I had dietary restrictions and that I'm a pescatarian but no accommodations were made. Instead of giving a substitute for the bacon cheeseburger they simply did not bring anything out at all. I paid full price for the brunch and was not compensated for my lack of entrée. Food was good otherwise but not worth the price of a full ticket especially because they didn't give me food and I left hungrier than when I showed up. Absolute bummer. Editing to one star since the owner swore at me , told me I had no life and basically called me a liar via private messages. The internet isn't the place for you if you can't take criticism. Really unprofessional!

Came here with a group of friends for an Italian pastry making class and WOW what a great experience. There were 16 of us in the class and we made cannolis, pignoil cookies, and anisette cookies. We started off with some introductions and then the instructor gave us a breakdown of the class and what we would be doing. There were three instructors in total so there was always plenty of help when needed during the evening. The classes are three hours long, with the end portion being for eating/sampling. Each table makes their own set of desserts; they accommodated our group of five with no issue. All of the desserts we made were delicious! The cannoli shells were delicious and crunchy to perfection and the cannoli cream was some of the best I've ever had. Even split among 5, there were plenty of goodies to take home! Even though it's a little pricey, I will for sure be back for another class!

Rooftop dinner & a movie: The most creative COVID-era activity we've done to date. Since Halloween 2020 was essentially a bust, this was a great date night option. 50% of the two of us had never seen Beetlejuice (not I), so I thought this was a perfect opportunity to see it in a new way. The setup was great - we chose lawn chairs and that's what you'll want too. We sat up front; our screen angle was excellent, and there was no way we were not going to heat the movie with the GIANT SPEAKER not less than 10 feet away. So, don't worry about NOT being able to hear it, worry about being about to hear it TOO well. We also brought our own blanket, which was key. It was cold, damp, and windy the night we went, and since this whole experience is sans-roof and very open to the elements, you'll want to plan accordingly. The food came first: Garlic and Parm Pretzel with Fontina Fondue, Zuppa Toscana, Meatball Parm Sliders, Black Forrest Mousse with Brownie Crumble, plus bottomless popcorn and hot cider. My favorite was definitely the soup. I'm sure the weather had something to do with it, but it was delicious and super flavorful. Pretzel was tasty, sliders were excellent, and although small, the dessert was good too. The whole experience is BYOB, so my only regret is that we didn't B more B than we did. A bottle of wine surely would have complemented the bourbon we brought to spike the cider, especially since the cider came later on in the evening. Oh, want more popcorn? More cider? Turn on the red candle and someone will be right over. Kudos to Hudson Table for getting creative and giving us the opportunity to enjoy a fun, unique date night.

Such a fun experience. The guide chef is so helpful. You never feel rushed and everything comes together. Me and my husband went for date night and it was so fun. We went during Asian stir fry nifht and everything came out just as if we went out to eat.

I would have been happy to go to this place, but Matthew Hope isn't a good business owner or manager or any of the above! I had booked a class before Covid-19 and it was canceled, then Covid-19 hit and just that I tried to get my money back and was refused and I finally found a class to attend and now I'm being told because it has been a year I lost my money and he would give me 50% off. Are you serious you must need the money and your place is probably horrible!! Give my money to your workers you bum! I will never give anyone or any good review to a place that practices like this.

We recently had a birthday party with over 50 family members and friends. Chef Koray Karakilic and his team from the Hudson Table catered the entire event from the appetizers to desserts, and everything was phenomenal. Each dish was elegantly presented and the tastes hit a high note of every palette - a reflection of chef Koray's unique culinary background and sophistication. Above all, that's all our guests remembered after the party how great the food they had experienced. Aside from the food, it was also a pleasant experience working with Chef Koray. He helped us decide the menu, and he personally surveyed our designated venue ahead of time for proper space planning. The entire service team were fantastic, working non-stop turning out one delicious dish after another under the stewardship of captain Eduardo, while the Daniel, the lead server, directed the consistent flow of food, drinks, and the orderly progression from the cocktail hour, to dinner, and cake cutting, etc. The professional confidence and charming but discreet demeanor carried by the entire staff put our guests and us at ease to enjoy family, friends, after a long Covid lockdown.

By far the most obnoxious pompous non communicative service I ever received as a POTENTIAL customer. I suspect the rest of the experience would be comparable so thanks for saving me a miserable and expensive experience. I would never recommend this establishment.

Really mixed feelings about this place... the food is just ok. Some dishes are better than others but feels overpriced for flavors and quality that you get. I would mostly go for the atmosphere and service because you get to stay for a while which is not something you can do in a lot of places nowadays. Unfortunately, after today's experience I don't think I will be returning. We arrive for an afternoon brunch on the rooftop only to find that the only table they are allowing us to sit at is under the blazing sun (90 degrees out) while ALL other tables are in the shade. The singer is under the shade. The prep workstation is under the shade. When we try to protest saying that on the website the picture made it seem like all tables are under the shade and generally shading is available and we didn't know it had to be specially requested. One of the girls that was greeting us dismissively said "Well it's outside so" and walked away. The other girl also seemed annoyed at our request but agreed to move the table at a very awkward angle next to another table just so we had some shade. We huddled together in a little shady corner for about half hour. I am assuming a manager saw this and took a pity on us because all of a sudden he wheels out an umbrella and arranges it so that we can have a comfortable brunch... We are grateful to him but the attitude we got from the two women when this was an option all along is unacceptable. They could have brought out the umbrella when we just came in but they didn't want to bother. They only reason I am giving three stars as opposed to one is I was at Hudson Table for a chef competition event and it was an amazing experience with phenomenal food and service. Note: Look at the comment left by the owner/manager... and look at the aggressive way he comments on every review that points out any problems with his establishment. It certainly explains why the service quality had gone down considerably at Hudson Table...

I recently took the Hands On Sunday Italian Dinner class with my boyfriend. We had such an incredible time. The food was amazing. Sam- the chef was absolutely wonderful and the rest of the staff was wonderful. It was a great learning experience as well as a fun and enjoyable evening. We met some really nice people and truly enjoyed every single dish that we cooked. I highly recommend these hands on classes as a date night or even with friends. I can't wait to go back!

Some basic failures in service. Long waits for food, 2.8 hrs to receive dinner, one entrée had human hair in it. Servers told us that the stove capacity was reduced by 50% , but very long waits between courses. Very poor dining experience. Food OK value, some items pretty good, but menu changes frequently ( as planned ) so I cant' tell you if the same dishes will be available again. needs some work.

We had not been back to Hudson Table pre-Covid and were absolutely delighted with experience. We participated in a hands-on Korean BBQ dinner with some other family members. Sam our instructor was great. She was well-organized, very helpful with the cooking process and generally very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and different and it great when someone else does the prep and cleanup. It was an excellent experience for all of us.

Such a. Wonderful cozy vibe. Loved every minute of it. The food was delicious and the service was great!

I've always wanted to try HT, and my boyfriend and I figured we'd do a class to celebrate a year of being together. We ended up registering for the California Surf & Turf class with Chef Gene. Admittedly, I was apprehensive at first, since the price point for a couple can be around $180-$200. But I was proven wrong with how much fun we had, how great the instruction was, and of course, the delicious end product. First off, I noticed how spacious, open and well stocked the kitchen is. Everything was clean and all of the stations had some ingredients pre-prepped, while other ingredients were designed for us to prep as mise-en-place. The studio itself is meant to hold up to 16 people, which allows for an intimate cooking experience (and also explains why the classes fill up fast!). The studio is BYOB, so be sure to bring wine or beer beforehand. For California Surf & Turf, we ended up making the following: Homemade California Roll, Pepper Steak, Avocado and Citrus Salad, Sweet Potatoes with Miso Butter, and a Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. Chef Gene was really informative, positive, and enthusiastic about the whole process from ingredients to technique, and his sous chefs were able to give us their own opinions on how to prepare (a great thing if you're still learning to flex your cooking muscles). Overall, all of the food came out FANTASTIC (personally, I'm still having dreams about the Chocolate Hazelnut Torte), and at the end, you get to reap the benefits with the rest of your classmates, and of course, take home leftovers. A MUST-GO date night spot!

I hosted my 50th birthday party at Hudson Table's rooftop. Not only was the food amazing, but so were the views! We had a wonderful time and the entire staff was very attentive and extremely helpful. They are BYOB, and even helped pack up our car with the leftover wine and beer. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food and venue and service. All communication leading up the the event was clear, and my contact, Morgan, was very responsive. Thanks Hudson Table for a memorable birthday!

I went for a comedy night and we really enjoyed it. It was a group of stand up comedians and all had a different topics we all think of and hardly talk about. Thank you Hudson Table!

Wow! What an amazing evening full of great food, great music and the perfect ambiance. We were there with a large party and everyone was taken care of and had such an amazing time. There were also couples or smaller parties enjoying their time, so there really is nothing they can't do. The weather was amazing on the rooftop, listening to great music while the sun goes down. Then you can see all the lights from the city. Are you signing up yet?! Also nice and close to Wine Dads to grab something great because they are BYOB. Will absolutely be back!

Hudson Table is a top cooking school in NJ. The prices are pretty high but the experience is worth it. I took my best friend to a donut making class and woah, it was such a great experience. The place it's BYOB and you can make mimosas for your morning activities ;) Such a cute place to bring your significant other, bring a friend, or go in a group. I will deft go again soon.

Melissa was an amazing chef-coach! We prepared such a flavorful dinner. Also hats off to Sophie and her team for getting things ready, keeping our stations clear, doing the dishes, and making the amazing churros! We are still talking about them!

Literally thinking of another occasion to host another event at Hudson Table! I hosted my boyfriend's surprise 30th birthday at Hudson Table this past weekend for around 26 people. Everything to booking the venue to cleaning up after the event was extremely easy and smooth sailing. Allen was quick to respond to all of my questions, and believe me, I had a lot of questions. Allen and the chef of the night, Matt, had worked with me to personalize the menu and incorporate the dietary restrictions that some of my guest had. I decided to have a catered event where the chefs cooked live and my guest were able to help out with rolling the pasta if they chose to. Everyone could NOT stop raving about how great the food was and there was more than enough food for everyone to have seconds and thirds if they wanted. I cannot thank Allen and his team enough for helping me with this milestone birthday and can't wait to host another event here!

I came here for a team building with my company and had a great time. All of the staff were super friendly, the facilities were perfect, and the food was amazing. I learned quite a bit, and ate a lot of really tasty food. You could tell that they use all high quality ingredients. We went with the Surf and Turf program, which included steaks (super thick and tasty), lobster tails, asparagus, truffled mashed potatoes, tomato soup, and a banana based dessert. Everything was over the top tasty. I'll 100% be back to take more classes and check out all that they have to offer. Happy to have a place like this in my area.

After coming to Hudson Table twice, I can safely say that this experience is well worth the money and makes an excellent date night for both those who are skilled in the kitchen and those who can't boil water. The first time my fiance and I went was in December as my surprise Hannukah gift and together with another couple, sliced, seared, and sauted our way through a menu of Hanger Steak with chimichurri, sauted market greens, smashed potatoes and strawberry shortcake biscuits. To this day we still use the market green salad recipe which has made it's way into our weekly dinner rotation. Last night we tried out their inaugural "California Surf and Turf" menu which while it had a few hiccups being that our class was the test run, overall it was fantastic. From learning how to make our own sushi with our California Rolls to mixing up and baking batter for our Chocolate and Hazlenut Torte to even our pepper steak and Sweet Potatoes it was a fun and enjoyable learning experience all around. I already know that the citrus salad will be appearing in our apartment and at our families' BBQs before the summer is over. Though the price might make us wait a little longer to do another class then we ideally would like, we definitely will be making another stop here before the calendar rolls over to 2020.

I definitely had to post a review here because this place was absolutely perfect for my surprise engagement party! You submit your request for a private party through their website, and they are immediate in responding back to you with any questions you have. I was in contact with Allen through e-mail and we settled all the logistics and planning through there, from the sign that is put up to showcase the event, all the way to the type of event you want to coordinate! Keep in mind that this surprise engagement party was their buffet style to accommodate the 47 people I invited to the event, so I can only speak to that. I'll be honest, when I went to look at the venue on Google Maps, I only saw one room which was the room you can see from the street and I was surprised that they would be able to fit all 47 people in there. BUT! For the buffet style party, they actually have another room around the side that accommodates large parties and the space is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of windows and lighting to come into the place and definitely adds a nice ambiance to your private event. You can bring decorations and go to the venue an hour before the event, and the decorations can't ruin/stick to the walls! The food itself....oh my god. It was unbelievable. And the service from the chefs that cook it right in front of you--they are one of the nicest! Even though it takes a little while to prepare each of the courses (you have appetizer, entrees, and dessert), it is TOTALLY worth the wait. You choose your menu beforehand (at least 5-6 weeks in advance) in order to work with the chef and make sure they'll be able to get the ingredients and prepare for the event. What's great is you can add as much detail or as little detail as you want as far as what you want from the menu, and they'll take it and generate their own spin to the menu which will certainly not disappoint! All of my guests loved all of the appetizers, the entrees, and ESPECIALLY the dessert!! The fruit cobbler with ice cream was the biggest hit with my guests, they went up for seconds and thirds even, since it was so good! All in all, I highly recommend this place for your private event, whether it be a birthday party, engagement party, whatever you want to celebrate! It's a great venue with great food which is everything me and my new fiancée were looking for!!!

What a fantastic 5-course dinner!! This was one, if not the best dinner, my wife and I had with a couple of our best friends. The dinner was outside on the patio and they went the extra mile and got the patio heater setup. The whole experience began with the time the booking was made until the food - really impressive. We will be back there soon, and thanks to the HT team for making this a great experience during these COVID times.
