First, taking the concept" Homestyle" into this cooking class with our desire is that bringing to guests the feeling as well as the atmosphere being warmly welcomed in Vietnamese local friend's house, learn, experience and enjoy Vietnamese typical dishes.
Second, "homestyle cooking class" like the family's kitchen with care and love so:
+We select Vietnamese typical dishes which features authentic, healthy (no MSG and daily fresh ingredients)
+ The selected dishes in the menu must be easy-made at home to ensure you can re-create the dishes which you learn in Hoa's Kitchen.
+During your cooking lesson, we will together prepare 3 traditional Vietnamese dishes from scratch. First, we will advise you on how best to prepare the dish and then will guide you step-by-step through the entire cooking process, sharing the secret tips to ensure you get the best results. After finish cooking, we sit down together to enjoy your home-cooked Vietnamese meal.

5.00Hoa was fantastic, I booked a private class and did 5 dishes instead of the usual 3 (paid extra for these of course), and she managed to get everything finished in 3.5hrs before I had to rush for my flight. So glad I booked with her, definitely recommend! The dishes we made were specifically Southern Vietnamese, and they were all so good!! They were hu tieu, com tam, bun thit nuong, thit kho trung, and che thai sau rieng
Fantastic experience and a must do

5.00This is a must-do when visiting Ho Chi Minh! We are a multi-generational family currently living in HCMC and I wanted something fun and educational to do with my grandchildren aged 9 & 11. We really enjoy Vietnamese food and love to cook. Hoa, the host and Nhu, assistant both speak English very well and are a wealth of knowledge. They really do teach you homestyle Vietnamese cooking. We made sizzling pancakes from scratch including a lesson on how to make coconut milk from shredded coconut. No canned for Hoa! We made Pho Ga starting with sautéing the aromatics and boiling chicken. And we made a grilled pork dish with noodles. My grandson loved pounding the pork to tenderize it. This is a kid friendly place and she as well offers classes making beautiful traditional Vietnamese crafts. When we finished cooking we all sat together to converse and enjoy our dishes. This is a must do, again, I say this because it is true!
Highlight of My Trip

5.00I had the most lovely time with Hoa at her house! She was beyond kind and patient with me and explained every step in detail. I enjoyed this experience so much - she went above and beyond by giving me a gift, taking videos/photos, and emailing me all the recipes. I would highly recommend to groups or solo travellers who are looking for a fun experience to learn North and South cooking styles!
Must do!

5.00Absolutely amazing, Hoá is legendary and so sweet. The food was utterly amazing though - she tells you the backstory of the cuisine and how to eat it, how it's served, and the way the locals like to eat it. Highly recommend!!
