5.00We’re greeted w/a warm welcome when arrived at Woo’s House. Mr. Han shows us the spices & sauces used for making kimchi as well as the procedures. At the end, he made us kimchi pancakes while we’re tasting our own making. His wife, Ms. Woo is very sweet, & shared w/us Korean snacks & rice wine. It’s a fun experience & is a good way to start our day.
I felt like I was spending the day with my friends!

5.00What an amazing experience I had during this kimchi making class. I felt like I was in the gracious host’s own kitchen enjoying their warmth and hospitality while learning how to prepare kimchi. We finished our lesson with some kimchi, kimchi pancakes and makgeolli wine. It was a great introduction to learning the art of Korean kimchi making.
