A multicourse dinner with wine and beer for sale. This is not a cooking class. Guests will be seated at communal tables, most dishes will be served family-style. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.

Get ready for our Lunar New Year pop-up dinner extravaganza, featuring our three 18 Reasons Instructors: Linda Tay Esposito, Elise Hayashi, and Henry Hsu!

You may be familiar with each instructors’ own classes, from folding baos with Henry, blending sambal and simmering laksa with Linda, and rolling various kimbap and maki with Elise. However, for one night and one night only, they have joined forces to collaborate on a menu that embodies the essence of Lunar New Year: prosperity, good health, and abundant joy. They’re bridging their creativity, different cultures, and shared love of good food to create a feast to properly ring in the new year.

Grab a seat at the table for a night filled with warmth, community, and the kind of food that dreams (and good fortunes!) are made of.
