Family Vietnamese cooking experience - A fantastic experience, from an excursion around a local market to rolling up your sleeves in a very clean and welcoming location. The Hostesses are exceptionally well spoken and informative about this rich and vibrant Vietnamese culture. A great life experience for the young teenagers!! Highly recommended

10/10 Highly recommend!!! Amy is the star - Our group of 10 joined the private Vietnamese cooking class and was taught by Amy. We absolutely loved it. Amy first took us to a local market to pick up groceries and taught us the different season produces. Amy‘s hospitality and friendliness was the highlight of the entire trip to Hanoi! She went above and beyond to customize the experience for us. She even spent the whole day helping us secure tickets to Blackpink concert!!! Thank you Amy!

Memorable and Delicious - This was the highlight of our time in Hanoi. Our chef was Ruby and she was so wonderful. She guided us through the market sharing so much information about the local foods and vendors. She was so enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor. Back at the Villa she guided us in making the most delicious egg rolls, banana leaf salad and beef pho. As a treat we had coconut and egg coffee. We will never forget this incredible experience and can’t wait to try to being back to life back at home with the many recipes that were shared.
