In a humble alley of the bustling District 1, there is a newly renovated Vietnamese cooking studio with a team full of passion for sharing culture. Our cooking class is a deep cultural experience designed for guests who want more than just a meal — they want connection, authenticity. The journey begins with a trip to a wet market. This isn’t the polished, touristy version - you’ll walk through busy vendors like true locals to learn about herbs, spices, and produce that make Viet dishes special. Insider Knowledge & Immersive Experience In our humble kitchen, each guest gets their own cooking station for 100% hands-on learning. Our chefs guide you to learn not only how to make dishes but why they’re made a certain way depending on the region. We’ll also teach you kitchen hacks used by Viet home cooks that you won’t find online. You’ll leave not just with a belly full of delicious food, but with a certificate, a cookbook, and unforgettable memories. This activity is perfect for all kinds of travelers • Adventure seekers • Families with children • Couples unique bonding time • Solo travelers to meet new people • Content creators — our pink-themed venue is a dream for Instagram!

If you love Vietnamese food, you’ll want to learn how to make a selection of dishes while you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City! I learned so much in detail which I didn’t expect coming into this class. The flavors were excellent across all the dishes I made. I feel confident that I can make a great northern style beef pho, spring rolls and even Vietnamese Egg Coffee! Highly recommend this class for anyone trying to learn and have a great memorable experience while in Vietnam. You will not regret this one. My instructor spoke great English and was very attentive from the Market to the classroom. The Staff were also very organized and helpful. Everyone was so nice and caring. I can’t wait to get home and make these dishes for my family!

Fabulous and intimate cooking lessons. Eva is happy and has passed on her cooking skills with passion. She also gives us anecdotes about the culture of her country: it is very rewarding. We took a tour of the market and discovered what products to buy. Then we cooked 4 delicious dishes. We made the recipes from A to Z. We left delighted with our experience and with a notebook full of Vietnamese recipes. I recommend 1000% the course D’Eva.

We had such a great time cooking with Eva! She’s super friendly, speaks great English, and explains everything really well. The market visit was fun and gave great insight into local ingredients. The class was small and personal — you cook everything yourself, and the food was amazing! Loved the little cookbook you get at the end too. Highly recommend!

What a great experience with Eva! She customized the class for my dietary needs as I am a vegetarian. We did a tour of the market and picked the fresh ingredients together. It was a small class with only the 3 of us and the conversation flowed effortlesly. Eva was patient and gave great instructions along with some historical facts and traditional cooking methods. The food turned out great and I cannot wait to make it again when I go home! She also gave great recommendations for local market and restaurants/dishes to try. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience 🫶🏽

If you are looking for a cooking class in Ho Chi Minh City I highly recommend Holy Pho Cooking class! I cannot say enough good things about the class and the lovely host! I had so much fun and learned so much. My teacher made me feel very comfortable and had thought of every detail to make the experience fun, informative and relaxing. The recipes are truly delicious and easy to replicate once home. I cannot wait to take this experience back to my home country. The location is very special; not only is the classroom beautiful and modern, it is also near the local market Tan DInh. This really added to my experience because I was able to tour the market with my teacher and learn so much about how to navitgate making purchases, choosing good vendors and about the culture within the market. I learned the name of herbs and ingredients and enjoyed my interactions with everyone. I went solo but it would be so fun to do this class as a couple or with friends. This cooking class is a great price and I know I'll be using the valuable skills it has given me forever! I really hope attend more classes here before I leave Vietnam. Holy Pho has an extensive menu and much more for me to learn. I LOVE that I was given a recipe book at the end of class to help me continue learning! I had so much fun, Eva, thank you!

My 14 year old son and i had the most lovely morning with Eva at Holy pho! We were met by Eva and given traditional hats. We chose the central menu and started with gathering our ingredients at the local market. Eva taught us lots of interesting facts about the different ingredients. We then spent the morning cooking traditional dishes. It was a very hands on class and we got to learn all of the different skills and tricks. The food was delicious and we were given a cook book at certificate at the end! Highly recommend this class for a mother son date! Eva was so lovely with my son and he really enjoyed the day!
