5.00We were a group of 4 and this class far exceeded our expectations. Jinny was a phenomenal chef, teacher and hosts. She took time to learn everyone’s name and created a safe learning space We each had the opportunity to make each of the 6 dishes and each dish was phenomenal. I highly recommend this cooking class.
Fun, Informative, and Yummy!

5.00To be honest, I was a little unsure about this booking at first, just because there weren't a ton of reviews yet – but I'm SO GLAD I didn't let that stop me!!! Our group of four had a FANTASTIC time with Jiny! Her English was excellent and the experience is clearly very, very well thought out. She started with warm greetings and knew everyone by name. Everything was set up very neat and tidy, and she gave us a complete walk through so expectations were clear from the beginning. She also exuded so much confidence that we'd be able to handle all the required steps, and our entire class absolutely did! Afterwards, we got to go for a great walk through the neighborhood and she pointed out quite a few things that I absolutely never would have caught without her. Totally fun and joyful experience and the perfect intro to Korean food.
Such a fun experience!

5.00Jiny was warm and caring. She encouraged everyone in the class to participate and her instructions were simple to follow. The food we made was delicious and Jiny very promptly sent us all of the recipes, along with several great photos. I’m happy to recommend this class to everyone - from novices to experienced cooks. Really loved it.

5.00My 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.
