Unlike plenty of cooking classes in town that only do the demotration class to save up cost. We would like to give you the full experience of not only cooking but culture exchange. Cooking with us you will not only learn how to cook Hanoian food but also learn how, why we cook. Enjoy the result of your cooking at the end in a lovely house in the middle of cozy garden would be a nice treat for you.

I am absolutely thrilled! The transfer to the market worked out well despite bad weather. And the market visit was also a small experience. I've definitely seen some things I haven't seen yet. And the fruit Sapodilla e also took and tasted. There were only two of us and our teacher Nikita provided her own home for this. We prepared Springroll's four ways, taking into account that I follow a vegetarian diet. And we definitely prepared a lot of it ourselves and under instruction. During the course we learned a lot about cooking culture and life in Vietnam. Really every question was answered. And the result was so delicious! Thank you, Nikita and Hidden Hanoi!

Excellent service from an arranged door to door car service to and from, a guided market visit where our guide bought some things for us to try back at the classroom upon request and clear instruction. The market tour was brief-ish but full of explanations and customs and deeper insight into follow-up questions. The class itself was very hands on with explanations around the geographical differences in food as well as very clear considerations of ingredients and skills. Plus, the end results was DELICIOUS.

Was super fun learning to cook bun cha and eating it. The venue is beautiful too! Nikita went out of her way to give us some personal history too.

One of the most beautiful experiences during our visit to Vietnam and a highlight of our stay in Hanoi! Everything was perfect! Our host, Oanh (Nikita) was very professional, but in the same time friendly and charming. We learned a lot and had lot of fun. Highly recommend if you even like to cook! We shall remember it forever!

Our favourite day in Hanoi! From the welcome, to learning how to cross the road (safely!), to the market experience, and then the inclusive cooking & dining experience. Loved hearing the history of Vietnam from a culinary perspective.

The street food cooking class with market visit was a highlight of my weekend sightseeing in Hanoi. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and had the most fun learning how to prepare bun cha and nem. The instructor Ms. Oanh was so knowledgeable and shared so much about typical life in Hanoi and her own experience growing up and now raising a family of her own. Her helper Ms. Thuy was lovely and kept our food prep on track. At the end, we enjoyed a delicious meal that left my kids asking for second helpings. The setting for the class is a lovely kitchen tucked away in an interior courtyard that is landscaped and so peaceful. The market tour was lively with all the local Vietnamese families out shopping for Sunday dinner. I would definitely take another class with Hidden Hanoi and learn how to prepare another typical dish.

I wish I could give Nikita and Hidden Hanoi a 10! Don’t think twice about booking an experience with her. We learnt so much besides how to make the delicious meal we ate - how the markets work, history, culture, living with teens, and so much more. This was what we want our holiday to be about: making memories.

Great experience @ hidden Hanoi! We had our cooking class held by Nikita, experiencing the real street food recipes. She has been a fantastic host, we lived a real Vietnamese morning, cooking together and talking about local food & life habits! And the food was amazing! Cam on Oahn, from the bottom of our hearts :)

We had such a great time at the cooking class! Lana who led our session was so friendly and full of interesting facts and stories about Hanoi and Vietnam in general. But the real stand out has to be the food we cooked - helped by both Lana and expert Mrs Tui! Truly delicious. It was our last day before leaving the country and it ended up being the perfect memory to take with us back home. Could not recommend more.
