Customer's reviews

Had an exceptional experience doing the dumpling making class at the Lucky Tortoise. The Lucky Tortoise team led by Fernanda were extremely welcoming and provided 5 star guidance and service throughout. Not only did we get to experience making our own dumplings but we were also served their tasting menu while we waited for our dumplings to cook, along with a welcome drink. The food was outstanding particularly the Okky, and the dumplings we made were delicious too (although we can't take full credit for it). No surprises to see this class sold out, a great option for a date night, team building event or any other occasion! Will definitely be back ~ Donnchadh H
My wife and I went to the dumpling making class on Wednesday and we had to be rolled out of the place afterwards. Not only was it a top class experience and perfect for a date night, the quality of food alongside the dumplings was insane. We were coached through how to make the perfect dumpling and made four different variations. Once we created our dumplings, they were taken away to the kitchen to the head chef to cook for us. Alongside our dumplings, we were also served with a host of sides including rice, kimchi, okonomayaki, prawn pancake and more. We were absolutely stuffed afterwards, everything was incredible. Would HIGHLY recommend booking. Go hungry. Perfect for date night but we will also be looking to go again in a group with friends. 10/10. ~ Gavin C
Super recomendado, estába de paso con mi familia por Dublin y después de pasar al temple bar encontramos esta joya de restaurante, me encanta que tiene opciones veganas y también vi que tienen okonomiyaki definitivamente lo probaré la próxima vez, esta vez solo pedí el lucky bowl porque tenía antojo de dumplings, están riquisimos! el staff es súper amigable también, si visitan Dublin, definitivamente tienen que pasar aquí ~ Violeta A
