This was the last day of our honeymoon in Vietnam and it was a great way to end it. We started with going to the market to buy the ingredients for the 10 dishes we were going to cook. This was a truly educational experience as Van was able to explain the ingredients and we got to trying things from... More

Went to Green Bamboo after reading all the good reviews on this site. We expected great things but it was better. Both my wife and I agreed that this was a fantastic day. Neither of us have been to a cooking class before but we both got more than we expected from this day. As most classes seem to we... More

My husband and I participated in Van's cooking class today and were so thrilled with every part of it! The trip to the market was very interesting. We walked through the market earlier in the week, but it's very helpful to have a guide. There were a lot of fruits and vegetables that we had never heard of and were... More

We had an excellent experience taking a cooking class with Van and a group of just six other tourists. After visiting the market to buy ingredients, we had a truly intimate and hands-on cooking experience at Van's home, preparing ten different dishes and eating them ALL. My only complaint was the food coma caused by all that deliciousness. Amazing!

Van is incredible, genuine, knowledgeable and charismatic. The previous reviewers have said it all, and I don't frequently write reviews, but I had to say that all the hype is true. Van is someone you feel immediately comfortable with and know that she truly cares about your experience. She couldn't be anymore accommodating and every person in our group felt... More

I made a last minute booking which Ms Van graciously accommodated. Each person in the class could choose one dish to cook, although Van gave me the opportunity to cook two because I was interested. You could also watch the other students make their dishes as well, so really even though you are assigned one dish, you learn about a... More

I am not sure what else we can add to all the wonderful reviews other than they really are true! Van provides for a fun day of learning, shopping, and cooking. And she is funny! The hubby and I are both pretty good cooks, and we still learned quite a bit during the course of the day. We really liked... More

Small groups, very personal instruction in Van's home. She is a lovely lady, interesting and interested, good natured, good humoured and an excellent cook. The shopping for our ingrediants in local market was fun and informative. Went home with booklet of recipes and desire to cook Vietnamese food. Amazing value, very highly recommended.
