About this Event
2025 Holiday Season/2026 Chinese New Year Celebration (2026 Chinese New Year, Year of the Horse will be Wednesday, Feb 17, 2026)
We are extremely excited to bring the Holiaday Season/Chinese Lunar New Year Hand Made Dumpling Event back to Philadelphia this year! We cordially invite you, your families, and your friends to attend a fun DIY Dumpling + Mochi/or Wonton Soup cooking/egg roll making experience.
Come learn to make your own dumplings at the Dumpling Academy - Home of the Dumpling Queen - at our new location in Center City, Philadelphia! Wheel chair accessible and easy parking!
-Parking, easy, free street parking!
At this dumpling making party, you will enjoy a hands-on adventure: make-your-own dumplings! You'll be guided and taught by Yin, a dumping making expert who will teach you how to fill and shape your own pot stickers in a candidly authentic way.
A quick overview:
-First, we will learn how to prepare the dumpling filling. Then, with either pre-made wrappers or wrappers we made ourselves, we will then learn the proper ways to cook dumplings; Everyone will learn well-rounded dumpling making skills. Finally, we will feast together on the dumplings we made - delicious!
Dumplings are the singular best food to make for (and with) a crowd: They’re easy, fun, beginner-friendly, and cook super quickly. The more hands we have on deck, the quicker the dumplings come together and the faster we can get to eating.
Bonus - You will sample assorted Chinese dim sum/snacks at your arrival!
Come join us for a sincere and splendidly-authentic experience, unique for you and your family!
*Chinese Tangyuan is only offered in the sessions around Chinese New Year. If we do not make Tangyuan in the class, we will learn to make and have Wonton soup!
We are accepting private party reservations now! There is a minimum of 10 guests.
