My wife and I arrived about 45 minutes earlier than expected and Jiny was very welcoming. We enjoyed her hospitality and appreciated her sincerity. We learned a lot from her teaching and would highly recommend this course to anyone who comes to Seoul. We also enjoyed the mini tour around and it was very informative. All in all we enjoyed this wonderful experience.

My son and I had a fantastic time learning to make several Korean dishes with Jiny! Everyone had their own cooking station and we all made the full menu of bibimbap, beef bulgogi, kimchee pancakes, japchae, and another side dish. Jiny is super enthusiastic and kind. She made us all feel like accomplished cooks. The food was absolutely delicious!
