5.00My spouse and I really enjoyed the cooking class with Chef Hi Hai. He is jovial, friendly and passionate about teaching Vietnamese cooking to the tourists. He taught us a variety of dishes which we also cooked and enjoyed making friends with other guests from different country. A well set up restaurant accommodating many tourists at the cooking class. He also sent us his recipes which we will definitely try at home in South Africa. Thank you Chef Hi Hai

4.00I really enjoyed the food tour! I think the recipes are diverse, and representative of local culture which is what I'm here for. The price was also very reasonable. Our instructor Hai was great to talk to and he gave good instructions and help throughout. Finally, the food was delicious and made me really want to try some at home. My suggestion for improvement is to probably skip the boat ride component, and make the market trip longer and more in-depth. Teach us how to identify and pick good Vietnamese produce!
