Cook family recipes with host Alison in her Astoria home, then share a meal and discover regional Chinese home cooking.

About this tour

Discover regional Chinese home cooking in Astoria, Queens, with a private, hands-on class in host Alison’s home. Inspired by her upbringing in southwest China, Alison brings family recipes and cultural traditions to the kitchen, sharing practical techniques as you cook together.

Meet Alison at Kinship Coffee, then take a short walk to her home. You’ll prepare a meal with the ingredients and equipment provided, and, depending on the season, may gather fresh herbs from her garden. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the meal together, indoors or beneath a mulberry tree in the backyard. With personalized instruction and an intimate setting, this Astoria Chinese Cooking Class offers a welcoming way to connect with local culture and explore a side of New York City beyond the usual tourist trail.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 31% in New York City means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in New York City by this score.
