5.00We had a private session with the chefs and learnt a lot under their guidance. Visiting the local market and learn about the vegetables and herbs to combine was very interesting. Cooking was easy and yet very complex and tasteful menus got created by us. The chefs were patient with us and helped to make the menus an authentic experience. Half a day was just enough and yet very intense. We recommend this event to all asian food aficionados.
Great experience

5.00This was a gift for my husband who turned 40 and loves to cook. It was everything I had hoped for. Amazing service, amazing chefs and the atmosphere was fun and impressive cooking with the real pros. The way all the chefs guided us through the cooking got even me (who can’t cook at all) to make super tasty dishes. The staff even came in with a surprise birthday dessert and sang to my husband, above and beyond and so sweet. I was blown away.
Continued amazing experience

5.00This is a top notch experience. Since I found out about them late last year I attend the class every time I am in Bangkok. Try it, you will never regret it. My friend and I were blown away by the experience and would encourage everyone to join at least once.
Food and customer service exceeds expectations

5.00From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Koko, our main waiter, was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also incredibly engaging, explaining each dish as it arrived with real enthusiasm. Such a lovely and pleasant young man. The food itself was exceptional, from the rich and flavourful crab curry to the perfectly balanced sticky rice and mango dessert. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly brilliant dining experience—both in terms of food and service.
