Ready to level up your cooking game? Join a hands-on dumpling making class in NYC and learn to craft delicious dumplings from scratch in the heart of Manhattan. This fun and flavorful culinary experience takes place in Midtown West, just steps from Hell’s Kitchen and near Times Square.

You’ll make dough from scratch, prepare savory fillings, and learn multiple folding techniques used across regional dumpling traditions—like the pleated xiao long bao or Korean mandu folds. Choose from a chicken, carrot, corn, and egg filling or a vegetarian option as you explore the art of making authentic Asian dumplings.

Under the guidance of a friendly and welcoming chef instructor, you'll master sealing, shaping, and pan-frying your creations while learning the history behind these bite-sized delicacies. Whether you’re a foodie, cooking enthusiast, or first-timer, this is one of the best dumpling making classes in the city for exploring Chinese food traditions and bringing the flavors of dim sum into your own kitchen.
