Amazing Cooking Class in Hoi Ann

5.00Today we did this amazing cooking class with Mr Kien. We walked away feeling so proud and excited about learning incredible new dishes which we even got to eat afterwards and, if I may say so myself, it was delicious! From starting the day at the local market, to rowing on basket boats and then making authentic and gorgeous Vietnamese dishes - we could not have asked for better. I also loved the fact that they don’t take massive groups of people as it makes the experience more personal, we were 8 people, but they can accommodate more if you prefer. Would highly recommend for your trip to Hoi Ann!
Fantastic experience with Kien and friends

5.00This was such a wonderful class. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel we knew we were in for a real treat. Thank you Kien for having us and sharing you and your family’s recipes with us. A day we will treasure for a long time. The meal was certainly the best we have had in Vietnam.

5.00Direct contact was very easy via the Website and then on via WhatsApp. Pick up, cooking, etc. was super organized. The tour of the market could have been made more. We passed one or the other stand, smelled two herbs and then we went boating in the coconut grove. I can't explain why it took that. Preparing food, supporting was super organized. 🤩🤩🤩 for the taste explosion on the tongue.
A must experience in Hoi An! Loved by multi-generational family!

5.00We did the Hoi An Eco Cooking Class with Kien and his staff a few days and it was one of the best family experiences we have had in our travels. The menu items are thoughtfully chosen with ingredients that can be purchased back home and for even non-cooks, the recipes feel like something we can re-create. We learned knife skills, how different ingredients in Vietnamese cooking work together and what the secret is to making the best broth for Phở. The location is lovely and airy, with ample space. The class is so well organized on every level. The trip on the river in the basket boat is an added bonus that our boys loved! Highly recommend this family owned cooking school!
Prepare to feast! Delicious food, which with the help of all the teachers, feels effortless to make!

5.00Incredible authentic Vietnamese cooking experience, you won’t find anywhere else!! Kien Nguyen’s Eco cooking class is one of a kind!! Passing on the cooking methods that have been with his family for generations. The food is out of this world and you are truly amazed at what you have created. The whole team at Eco cooking were FANTASTIC. Not one moment of the tour felt wasted. From seeing the local markets, to the coconut boats (special shoutout to Jau), to the whole cooking experience. Be prepared to feast to your hearts content and more so. We could not recommend this highly enough. The memories we made will live with us forever. Thank you Eco Cooking class for making our time in Hoi An so special.
A culinary experience worth its weight in gold

5.00Sorry for the late review. We did an amazing cooking class in Dec 2024. Before the trip, I put a lot of time to choose because first of all, there are many kinds of cooking classes in Hoi An and Danang. They look very similar. Second, my kids are very young(4yo and 6yo) and I really want them to participate in it. Finally I chose Hoi An Eco Cooking Class. Although my kids were free to join the class, they had a lot of chances to participate in it, from chopping, peeling food to cooking. They enjoyed it very much. Besides a delicious Vietnamese cuisine, we all had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!
