5.00Such a lovely experience! The cooking class was amazing, and Junghee, the host, was so kind and welcoming. She merged beautifully with our culture and was incredibly open-minded. She happily answered all of our questions and was super patient with our terrible cooking skills 😂 We learned so much about Korean cuisine and truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!

5.00My partner and I really enjoyed this cooking class — the market tour was an absolute eye-opener and added so much value to the experience. Thank you for all the small but practical cooking tips shared throughout the class. The tips were incredibly helpful and made the session both educational and fun. This is our 4th cooking class in Korea and Japan and definitely the best one, in terms of overall marketing experience, learning environment, kitchen setup, language fluency, dining interaction, location. Will definitely revisit and recommend to our friends. Thank you Junghee!;)
An incredible local food experience!

5.00Junghee was a very competent and kind host. The way she planned her cooking class was very thought through, there’s nothing to criticize. Also the food we tasted at the mangwon market was so delicious and she even taught us some useful korean. It was really the perfect cooking class also for young young people it’s really worth it. Thank you so much:)
Seriously worthwhile! 10/10

5.00As I was alone, I was privileged to have a private tour at the market and cooking experience. Sara was such a lovely host and learned me a lot of new things about Korean cooking and the importance of it. And how easy these delicious dishes can be made. I learned much more than only the dishes that we made.I had such a wonderful afternoon.
Amazing!!!
