5.00Chef Hakyung’s kimchi class was amazing the overall experience was phenomenal. The small class size made it easy for Chef Hakyung to give her undivided attention to everyone in the class. She explained to us the history of making Kimchi as well as the different ways and styles to make Kimchi. The class was informative and fun! I especially enjoyed the seafood pancake and drinks she made while we were getting set up!
Truly amazing experience!

5.00This class was fantastic! Chef Hakyung was a great teacher and very welcoming. Had a blast learning to make kimchi (which was amazing by the way)! She had a lot of knowledge about korean food and the meal she made at the end was delicious! Would 100% recommend this class for everyone! One of the best things we did during our trip to Seoul!
Amazing class!

5.00I really enjoyed this class!! I am a solo traveler and it just so happened that the only other person taking the class was another solo traveler. We both really enjoyed learning with Chef Hakyung. She was very personable, made us delicious food and drink and also taught us how to make kimchi. She made it so easy to follow along and now I will make kimchi at home. She even walked with us after the class to get umbrellas because it started raining and walked us to a nearby exhibit after class. 10/10!
Best kimchi class in Seoul

5.00If you're looking for a kimchi class in Seoul, you should def try this class! I did a lot of research and this was the only class that gave me cozy vibes, the rest felt a bit too touristy. The chef is really friendly and even prepared a seasonal dish for me to enjoy while explaining everything about kimchi. I really liked that she makes everything from scratch. She also speaks excellent English! Plus, her studio is a beautiful traditional Hanok, which adds to the experience. I can't recommend this class enough 10/10! Can’t wait to enjoy my own kimchi and start making some!

5.00First Chef Hakyung welcome me withe Tea and made me some royal tteokbokki which was really very good. I love Kimchi, but i always thought it was difficult to make, but chef Hakyung made it so easy for me to understand all the ingredients needed and how to process. it make it. Now thanks to her course I am able to replicate it at home. But, first I will try the Kimchi I made which i will take home. Next time i am in Seoul i will definitely go back for more lesson for Korean dishes
Great time
