Great food, great company. - We started with discussing our menu with Einstein over a cup of tea, then off to the market to buy the ingredients before heading to Einstein’s home to cook in his kitchen. It was a great experience. Einstein was super friendly and welcoming.
I would highly recommend this experience if you enjoy a cultural experience.

Great, at the teacher's home!! - Appallingly nice man. He took us to his house, we met his son and his mother-in-law. First we bought all the ingredients at the local market. We were allowed to choose what we wanted to make.
When we got home we made fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, fried rice cakes, a sauce for the spring rolls and green Papaya salad. Everything was equally delicious! The teacher took us home on the scooter, for my husband a Grab scooter, we got the tourist route over the train bridge, great!! A 10+ from us

Fantastic experience - Super class! Andy was our guide. She was very professional and very kind. She explained everything very well. We had 2 kids from the age of 8 and 9. She made sure the kids had a fantastic day too! The dinner we made was delicious. We will come back If we are in Hanoi again.

Excellent, great experience! - A very enjoyable and informative class, a walk through the local market with Chef Chris, who provided lots of interesting information about the market and the local way of life. Back to the restaurant where the set up and cooking environment was excellent, small class, 4 people only, nice atmosphere, detailed and step by step process of preparing and cooking the food, then you eat. Excellent, we really enjoyed it!

Amazing cooking class - We had a cooking with Anna, and it was one of our trip's highlights. Highly recommended if you're in Hanoi. We started around 9, taking a bike ride to the cooking location while enjoying views from Old Quarter. Then Anna showed us the variety of dishes we could choose from: 3 entrees + dessert, or 4 entrees. We chose 3 entrees and a dessert. There were plenty of options to choose from, appetizers, different meats, seafood, vegetarian, etc. Anna also had recommendations based on our preferences. Then we left to walk to the market where we bought all the ingredients we would use. We spent the time cooking and preparing all the different dishes and then enjoyed delicious food. The dishes we chose were: bun cha, stuffed eggplant, catfish in caramel sauce, and sticky rice with coconut.

Better than I ever expected! - Ana/Yen was the best! We do not take many tours, but wanted a cooking class in Hanoi. Anna made everything easy and enjoyable, from being picked up at the hotel to a trip to a lovely market, to the place by the river with a professional kitchen. We had many choices from her menu, and the crispy pancakes were outstanding! (We even made them ourselves, along with the spring rolls and lemongrass chicken, with her patient help of course). I will take these recipes back to the US, and will always think of that wonderful morning and lunch now that I know how to cook Vietnamese food (a little at least!).

Another great Vietnamese experience - Had a great morning with our guide Anna from Awesome tours. Picked us up at the hotel then took us to the market - would have struggled a bit on my own😁
Then took us to a nice place by the Red River where she introduced us to the techniques of Vietnamese cuisine. Then had lovely lunch - thanks to her with a little bit of help from us.
Highly recommended.

One of the best experiences in my life!!! - cooking class with Anna <3 - I and my friend took home cooking class with Anna, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. Anna is so kind, patient, and delightful! She will teach you how to buy some stuff in the local market. Cooking class is also placed in a very peaceful, small village. So after finishing cooking, you can have your own meal at the beautiful balcony-like place.
I definitely recommend to take class with Anna!!!
Thank you so much again, Anna! :)
