Excellent cooking class - Had a great time in this cooking class especially with Eunkyo, the instructor! She was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the market and the different recipes we cooked. And the food came out delicious!! Such a great activity to book if you’re in Gyeongju to break up seeing all the historical sights. Don’t miss out!!

Best experience in Gyeongju by far! Highly recommend - The tour around Seongdong Market was amazing, as I got to see what real Korean people buy and sell. The vibe was chill yet vibrant and colorful! Although it was my first time cooking Korean food, Eunkyo somehow managed to turn me into a decent cook! The process was so fun and got to learn more about the culture as well as the food from her. Definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Gyeongju!!

Perfect for Travelers - We joined the class as a family with our child, and it was such a fun and educational experience. She made everything easy to understand, even for beginners. She is the sweetest person I've ever met. My kids were so proud of the kimbap they made! It was a great way to learn about Korean food in a hands-on way. Highly recommended for families visiting Gyeongju. The class started with a traditional market tour, which made everything feel authentic and special. The kitchen was clean, cozy, and beautifully designed.
