Absolutely amazing! Cheap, authentic and very insightful. Hailey was engaging and taught us both so much. We had a small class but was still fantastic. A must do for Hanoi and only a few hours out of your day.

I did the cooking class with Emmi yesterday and it was very nice. You learn 4 dishes and how to make egg coffee. After that we got a cook book with other dishes aswell. I can recommend it!

Vy was an excellent guide for the market and cooking class. Clear instructions & easy prep made a great meal. Great space for cooking and a separate dining room to feast afterwards!

Emmy was fantastic explaining the different foods and the ingredients themselves. The class was instructional and you have a very good selection and opportunity to try different cooking skills. No skill needed, as it’s very accessible and it takes a decent amount of time without dragging on. The best part is the banter and food at the end! Thank you!!

We took a class with Hazel and she was a great teacher! We were so full after eating and loved going to the market to gather the food before cooking.
