Saruj was phenomenal. It was a date night for my partner and I and we had so much fun. We loved it so much that we are looking forward to booking our next one with Saruj. He provided a lot of great valuable information and background about the recipe. Saruj made the atmosphere very friendly and relaxed, we could tell everyone were having a good time over all. Thank you Saruj, looking forward to making your recipe at home as well as looking forward to our next class with you!

A Taste of Thailand with Chef Saruj was outstanding! From start to finish, the Pad See Ew & Papaya Salad experience was engaging, flavorful, and incredibly fun. Chef Saruj is a fantastic instructor—warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Thai cuisine. He explained each step clearly, shared cultural insights behind the dishes. The Pad See Ew turned out rich, smoky, and perfectly balanced, while the papaya salad was fresh, vibrant, and customizable to everyone’s spice tolerance. I especially appreciated the tips on ingredients, substitutions, and how to recreate these dishes at home with confidence. This experience was the perfect blend of hands-on cooking, learning, and delicious results. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Thai food or wants to expand their cooking skills with an authentic, memorable experience. I’d happily take another class with Chef Saruj! 🍜🌶️🥗
