Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the classes and when do you run them?

About 1.5–2 hours for Classic Thai Cooking and Asian Fusion baking, 2–2.5 hours for the Sushi Experience, and 3–3.5 hours for the Premium Celebration Experience — our most immersive, elevated experience, designed for truly special occasions.

Classes are by appointment. Let us know what dates or period of time you’re looking for and we’ll share our openings. We normally start between 11am–12pm or 3–5pm. Booking ahead is the way to go, since spots are limited and you can guarantee your date.

How do I book?

You can book right here through our website — head to the Book page and tell us your date, guest count, and occasion.

How many people can join?

It’s an intimate group — 2 to 12 people. We consider 2–5 a small group and 6–12 a large group.

How far ahead should I book?

As soon as you know your date! We put your party on our calendar once we receive your payment, so booking early secures your spot. Most guests book 2-4 weeks ahead.

What’s your cancellation and refund policy?

Cancellations made 14 or more days before the class date receive a full refund. Cancellations made 7 or more days before receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 7 days before the class date are not refunded.

How much notice do you need for a Flavor Tray or cookie order?

Please order 1-2 weeks ahead so we have time to prepare everything fresh.

Do you deliver Flavor Trays and cookies, or do we pick them up?

You can pick up at our kitchen or we can deliver for a small fee. Just tell us what you prefer when you order.

Can you host a birthday, date night, bachelorette, or team event?

Yes, we enjoy hosting all kinds of events. Tell us the occasion and group size and we’ll help you plan it.

Do you do private or corporate team-building events?

Absolutely. We host private and corporate group events. We can teach in our kitchen (maximum 12 people) or come to yours — our travel radius is 30 miles from Monterey with a travel fee. Tell me your group size, date, and location and I’ll put together the details.

I have allergies, or I’m vegetarian or vegan — can you accommodate?

Yes — tell me your restrictions or diet when you book and I'll plan around them. I also teach a plant-based Thai class. Please do flag any allergies specifically, as my kitchen is not an allergen-free environment and traces of allergens may be present.

How spicy is the food? Can you adjust the spice level?

Yes, just let us know when you book.

What should I bring or wear?

Just bring your fun self and enjoy the party!

Do I need cooking experience?

No. Beginners are welcome, and I'll guide you step by step.

Can I add more dishes?

Yes. Classic Thai includes two dishes, and additional dishes are available upon request with a fee. Signature and Premium Experiences have their own expanded menus.
