Excellent - Vegetarian Vietnamese class and meal. Had a great experience. Our cruise got cancelled because of bad weather so ended up choosing this and I am glad I did. Was great fun. They really made sure they didn't include any meat , egg or fish oil for me. Everything was vegetarian. Was good fun. Our chef Trung was really sweet and fun.

It was a very agnostic and attractive experience. - It was very fun. It was an attractive and noble experience. It's more amazing to come to Hanoi, Vietnam and have this experience. And you're good at English, and you'll have only basic English if possible.

Rose Kitchen - Aroma was amazing!! The overall experience was one of the best things I’ve ever done while traveling. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made the class both fun and easy to follow. From visiting the market to learning step-by-step cooking techniques, everything was perfectly organized. The food we made was delicious, and Aroma explained the culture and history behind each dish, which made it even more special. I left not only full but also inspired to try these recipes at home. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Vietnam—it’s a must-do experience!

Delicious vegan cooking experience - Aroma was a fantastic chef who got everyone involved and explained all of the steps so well. I booked a vegan cooking class. There were four other people who had the regular cooking class at the same time. We made banana blossom salad, spring rolls and pho. Aroma and the aunty helping were so careful in keeping everything separate and having ingredients and condiments suitable for me. It was a brilliant experience in a gorgeous setting.

Perfect for a rainy day - Very fun and tasty experience! Got to sample a bunch of delicious local foods while learning about the history, culture and recipe. Aroma was the best chef / leader, she made sure to explain everything well, involve everyone, and keep things fun and engaging. All the food was great, but the spring rolls were especially a nice surprise!
