5.00Junghee (Sarah) is an extremely engaging, funny, kind, charismatic, and skilled host and teacher. The format of the class was perfect (timing, thoughtfully set up to make the experience so smooth, also body comfort). The food we made sooo delicious. She shared interesting facts about Korean cooking ingredients and culture and even taught us a couple basic Korean phrases. I would 1000% recommend this experience. It was totally worth the time and money. This will likely be one of the most memorable and favorite parts of our trip.
A wonderful experience.

Jong Hee (Sarah) is so personable and fun, her aenglish is excellent, and she shared a lot of great information with us at the market and while we were cooking.

5.00Good experience! Recommend you do it as soon as you get there or first few days since they’ll give you a market tour and tell you about street foods. The market tour was authentic and fun, and the cooking class felt warm and personal. The food we made was absolutely delicious.

5.00Sarah the host, is fluent in English, friendly, funny, helpful and kind. My daughter and I can’t take beef n spicy food, she is so kind to accommodate to our diet restrictions. She has a lot sense of humour and very knowledgeable. She took a lot of photos and videos of the process for us to keep as a memories so that we can focus on process. All of us had an awesome time cooking with her. It’s one of the best cooking experience that I ever had.
