Best cooking class - Amazing experience with Collin (Chinh). He was so pleasant & taught so well. And he spoke English so well, it was great for us to understand. Would definitely recommend this class especially if you get Collin as your instructor. He helped us cook up a delicious beef pho.

Fun, informative, and delicious! - My family has a fantastic time with Alex the chef and other classmates at this fun and informative activity. Not only we got to make several Vietnamese cuisines from the scratch (I.e., preparing the ingredients), but we also learned about the local culture from Alex. The food , of course, tasted delicious! The facility is clean and spacious, with an open courtyard. All in all, this was a memorable and enjoyable experience for us, and I’d highly recommend this to any foodies visiting Hanoi.

Wholesome - Chef Alex was super hospitable and fun cooking instructor/chef. Started off by guiding us through the local Hanoi market with buying fresh ingredients followed by navigating us through the cooking process with each dish having its own unique story and history. Needless to say, the food was incredible and highly recommend this place followed by a strong nap. Thank you Alex and his auntie! Much love

Too many people in one class - There were 15 people in my group and you don't get to do much. I recommend another service. Chef wasn't attentive. Didn't try to include everyone.
