I had such a lovely experience in this cooking class! Our instructor Hazel was super kind and friendly and answered all of our questions with a lot of patience. It was honestly the best food I had during my whole 3 week trip through Vietnam! 🇻🇳 We all learned so much and had a really good time together, so I can totally recommend this class to anyone who is interested in the vietnamese cuisine.

Amazing and fun. The final product was delicious and it made a style of food I wasn't familiar with easy and accessible. A must do in hanoi if you want some authenticity to your trip.

We had a great session with Coco (Chan), a few hours full of laughters went by so quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of learning and cooking traditional Vietnamese food from scratch! Coco was exceptional and brilliant at her job, would definitely recommend!
