The best cooking class - we had a great day starting with pick up and meeting Thang. He was friendly and awesome to meet. He took us to an excellent coffee stop and then to his garden which was amazing and an oasis. The cooking class was great. Lots of action and learning. Food was delicious. Thang was a great host and looked after us extremely well.

Highly recommended - The two of us had a lovely morning with Chef Thanh. We learnt about the ingredients he buys from the market and how to make some delicious local dishes and present them in a beautiful way. He gave us some top tips to cook the same back in the UK with the different ingredients and types of fish sauce etc that we might have access to. A really great class with a highly trained chef.

A fantastic opportunity to learn from a top chef - We booked the cooking class with Chef Thanh because it had great reviews. We were not disappointed. It was just myself and my husband. His kitchen is open plan with a large work space just off his main restaurant. Everything was spotless and hygiene was at the top of his agenda. He took us through each receipe step by step, encouraging us to ask questions as we went along. We made Pho from scratch, a delicious mango salad and pork filled spring rolls. We had the opportunity to eat at the table as we went along . There was so much food and it was delicious. Thanh was great fun and a great chef. He has worked in top restaurants and it shows. Highly recommend this cookery course and was great value . About €25 each . For about 2.5 hours.

A Taste of Vietnam - best experience of our trip - We hand an amazing experience with Chef Thành! He and his wife were super friendly and due to the private class, they individualized the menu for each one of us (vegetarian, just meat, just fish etc.) We hat so much fun learning and watching him teach us and he really does the job with all his heart. He has a lot of knowledge and answered all our questions not just regarding the cooking, but also the Vietnamese culture. We made spring rolls, mango salad, sweet-sour sauce and traditional pho and everything was delicious - definitely the best food we’ve had in Vietnam! We really recommend the class, it’s been one of our highlights in the country and totally worth doing. Thanks Chef for the great time! Samu, Aileen and Lena

Don´t pay by creditcard! - I would like to warn all interested partys to book a Cooking Class with Chef Thanh: The class was good fun but afterwards I tried to pay twice with the creditcardmachine which apparently didnt work (but in fact it did!) and then a third time cash. Nearly 3 months I wrote with Mr. Thanh who was putting things of by telling me I will get my money back what didn´t happen till today. So be careful and only pay cash!
