Not to be missed foody experience - It was a really friendly and interesting experience. The market tour was fascinating, especially because e had a guide to show us the most interesting food stalls. The cooking was fun and very tasty. Everyone was very relaxed and the food was delicious. A great experience all round.

Chef it up! - We had a great experience with this cooking class. Levi was an awesome guide through the market sharing his insights, and we had the chance to taste and smell some unique fruits, veg, spices and coffee. He was a good teacher as well, as he showed us how to make 3 unique dishes, and we got to eat it!!!! Bring your appetite, you make a lot of food! So fun, I would definitely recommend it. Thanks Levi for a great experience!

Wonderful experience and flavors! - This was a wonderful experience and the food was fabulous. I would like to note that the description said that an “alcoholic beverage complementary cocktail”would be included, but it was not. There was a nice sugarcane drink included. The only alcohol was a beer that some of us had with our meal, thinking that was complementary, and then we were surprised to be charged for it at the end. It was a small charge, so we didn’t complain, but that should be more clear. Also, we were provided transportation to the cooking class from the market, but we had to get our own transportation back. Despite this, we still loved the experience, but just make sure you are aware that you’ll need your own transportation back.

Nice afternoon cooking experience - Overall good experience. Quality of the food / ingredients was good. I would have liked to do more actual chopping & cooking. Most of the prep work was already done when we arrived. Class was a little too large at about 20 people. Market visit was just ok as most of her good vendors were closed (it was early afternoon when we were there - the morning cooking class would have seen more action at the market).

Good but I felt a few too... - Good but I felt a few too many people in class. Guide 15 min late at market. Had to eat again when we arrived at venue. Possibly needed more people assisting. Food was great.

Good - I feel a little bad rating only 3/5 but we had a class in Chiang Mai that was so so so good that it’s hard to compare! This class was good, food was good, instructor was good, facilities were good. But it was very matter of fact, there was no personality or fun to be had. Dishes were cooked were good, not great. There were 3 of us in our group and 8 all together. This was the opinion of our group of 3 although I didn’t see the others having a great time either.

They cancelled while we were waiting! - We were waiting at the meeting point and 7 minutes after the meet time I received a phone call from them cancelling. They even had the audacity to suggest we rebook for next week. Various reasons were given - the chef is not in Saigon, the chef is ill, Chinese New Year (as if that should have been a surprise). So we rushed from our hotel to have our planned day cancelled. I strongly suggest you avoid this company to avoid the disastrous experience and lack of professionalism we had.
