Chef Saruj is self-taught and earned his 25 years of experience from owning his own Thai quick-service restaurant. It is called Chelsea Thai, located in Chelsea Market for 20 years.
Then he became a Thai restaurant startup consultant. He learned most of his cooking experience from the best teacher, his mother. His roots are home-cooking, comfort food, and street food style.
His latest position was Sous Chef at the Pierre Hotel.
All types of in person classes taught by this chef
the teacher was amazing and the food came out better than at a Thai restaurant. I would definitely do this class again. Great date night.

The instructor was entertaining and made the class fun. He is a great instructor. The cooking was easy, and I am someone who does not cook. The food was delicious and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I look forward to taking more classes.

This was the absolute best experience ever!!! Chef Saruj was amazing and he did a great job explaining and demonstrating each step. I feel confident and I can't wait to make my own Thai drunken noodles and tom yum soup.
