What To Expect

Discover authentic Vietnamese flavors in a hands-on Hanoi cooking class. Join your host in a cozy cooking studio in the Ngoc Ha neighborhood and learn to prepare traditional Vietnamese home-style dishes from scratch. During this 2-hour class, you’ll make a salad, main course, and dessert using fresh, local ingredients. Choose from favorites like banana flower salad, green mango salad with seafood, pho (chicken or beef), spring rolls, or Hanoi’s famous cha ca la vong (grilled fish). End your meal with a sweet treat such as Vietnamese milk jelly or sweet bean soup. Upgrade your experience with an optional guided market tour. Visit Hanoi’s local markets—Dong Xuan, Ngoc Ha, or Ngo Sy Lien—to shop for authentic ingredients, meet local vendors, and immerse yourself in Vietnam’s vibrant food culture.
