Great experience all around! The quality of food was outstanding, along with the instruction and conversation!

Renee Tucker

This was the best cooking class I’ve ever done- part because of the all other guests but primarily it was Maricel and her phenomenal staff! Maricel is personable, funny and an excellent cooking instructor. The food was out of this world!! The hands on experience was not to difficult and learning about the different quality ingredients she prefers was very helpful. Everyone should get a chance to experience an event at Maricel’s Kitchen!!

Had the best experience with Maricel in her kitchen learning Japanese soul food AND Korean hotpot! She is charismatic, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that she makes the night fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend and look forward to my next class!

Maricel’s Kitchen was a wonderful way to experience Japanese cuisine by learning how to cook (and then eat) 4 unique dishes. The class participants cooked together at one long table while Maricel instructed from the head and her staff milled about the space to help where needed, creating a communal atmosphere reminiscent of a high school foods class. This gets 5/5 stars from me. Maricel and the staff are cool and kind under the pressure of instructing a dynamic class and made us feel welcome from the start. We will definitely be coming back in the future to learn a different cuisine.

I am so grateful for the evening I spent cooking and laughing with Maricel in her beautifully appointed space. She is an expert in amazing flavors, teaching a fun class and making her students feel welcome. This is a one-of-a-kind experience of making and eating delicious food!

I took the Japanese Ramen and Gyoza class and it was so much fun! I learned so many tips and tricks that I would've never thought about and while I'm not a frequent cook, the way things were simplified and made accessible definitely has encouraged me to try the gyoza recipe at home. I will be attending more classes in the future.

This was my first cooking class and I absolutely loved it! Maricel is so kind and knowledgeable, her passion for cooking really comes through. We did Thai 101 and are already trying to decide which class to do next. Highly recommend!

Denise Shulenski

Great experience, friendly atmosphere, tasty recipes, plenty of food and a clean facility. My only negative comment was that the class was too crowded. For the space, 30 people was to many participants. Did hear that a normal class size is 10-15. Would have liked a more intimate atmosphere. I would definitely try another class if the participant ratio was 10-15.

Had a great time learning and cooking with my fiance. Everything was easy to understand, fun, and tasted delicious! I felt like there was a lot of value and I didn't have to go into the city for a fun cooking experience. We expect to be back and look forward to cooking here again!

I’m so glad i discovered Maricel’s kitchen. Her cooking is superb and the best in our area. I always order our food from her everytime we have events. I got worried when I found out she was moving to another location but thank God it was still nearby to our place. Thanks Maricel for always accommodating my orders. ❤️
