Dumplings for dinner - easy to make and tasty
What a fun class. Who knew that making dumpling skins could be easy, addictive and zen. The presentation was organized and sanitary. Eddie was a good instructor who made the process simple and with his attention to detail and instructive cues you felt you could master the technique.

An Amazing & Fun Class for All Skill Levels
Chef Eddie was an absolute delight and this course was incredible! My husband and I are both at very different levels of being a chef but both had an equally wonderful experience. It’s an intimate class which allows you to learn so much about the food and how to make it. Our dumplings came out great and we created sauces that were equally delicious to go with them. Would absolutely recommend this for a great date night or vacation activity.

Excellent Dumpling Class
This was an excellent cooking class in an intimate setting. Chef Eddie really knew what he was doing and he did a great job of giving positive feedback and instruction so we all left with confidence. The food tasted amazing and he even taught us how to select a good soy sauce and how to tell the difference between good soy sauce and the salty stuff.

Local or Tourist - Don't Miss This Dumpling Class!
First time taking a cooking class, and have decided this will be a new outlet for me with every bit of travel! Eddie cultivated a really fun and accessible outlet for kitchen newbies like myself with his dumpling making from scratch class. He was highly prepared and professional, while also adding his personality & incorporating others' in the group. I walked away with a simple & tasty recipe to create with others, and much more knowledge regarding food quality, preparation, and how to find the best ingredients for your dish. Highly recommend, whether you're a local or tourist!
Response from the operator: This is so awesome to hear - I love taking cooking classes everywhere I travel and I hope you continue to seek out good chefs around the world. Let me know if you need suggestions :)

Great food in a great location
Eddie was a great host. He was helpful, thoughtful, and thorough. He helped make a new experience fun and one I want to repeat. It's fun to go to in a group and the dinner was great. It's a fun an easy thing to do and Eddie gives you the skills to do it again.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Francisco.
How much does San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Francisco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Francisco is not rushed.
Is San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Francisco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Francisco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Francisco and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Francisco Cooking Class: Dumpling Making from Scratch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Francisco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Francisco?
+
San Francisco packs Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Napa and the bay into day-trip range, which makes booking order matter more than anywhere else in the US. Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead, wine-country vans fill on weekends, and the best food walks in the Mission and Chinatown cap at a dozen people. Our ranking favours small groups and guides who live in the neighbourhood they walk. On Outty we rank every San Francisco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz, Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Francisco?
+
September and October, the city's real summer, once the fog season breaks. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Francisco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
