About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kim B0 contributionsAn Authentic Culinary Experience.Imagine a cooking class and you’ll be heading in the right direction of the experience Anh gives. This is more than a cooking class, it’s a cultural experience mixed with food that explodes your taste buds. The visit to the market, with its fresh fish caught that morning, vibrant fruit and vegetables and aromas of lemon grass and herbs really punch those senses. Anh is a great teacher whose expertise, experience and passion for great Vietnamese food and customer satisfaction is second to none. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone, by far the best food on our tour of Vietnam, an authentic culinary adventure.Written March 28, 2024
- irinamesh0 contributionsLocal foods in HueWe had a great time tasting delicious local foods in Hue with Anh. Riding on the back of scooter was great way to see night beauty of Hue. Choices of foods were interesting and plentiful servings were provided at each stop, so come with appetite! Thank you for great experience!Written December 18, 2023
- mariagK865QJ0 contributionsGreat authentic experienceThis was a great experience - my friend and I booked a private cooking class and very much enjoyed visiting the market and cooking (and especially eating) the Vietnamese dishes following Ahn’s patient guidance.Written November 28, 2023
- 786renev0 contributionsWonderful cooking class for local food preparationAnh gave us an excellent and very joyful cooking class in local Hue food preparation at his home in Hue. I highly recommended his cooking workshopWritten November 13, 2023
- sachah2840 contributionsThe best cooking class in VietnamAnh is an amazing teacher. This is the best cooking class in vietnam. I learnt so much, the food was delicious, plus we had a lot of food to take home. Anh is very skilled and passionate about cooking. Thank you again! We had so much funWritten August 18, 2023
- 470magdig0 contributionsVegetarian cooking classMy sister and I booked a vegetarian cooking class with Anh in Hue. We started the day with shopping at the market and then we prepared 4 dishes. We had a very good time and the food was amazing! We learned a lot and we got to take the recipes home, we will definitely try to cook some of the dishes. I can only recommend booking a class with Anh!!Written March 5, 2023
- 899evip0 contributionsAmazing!We highly recommend the vegetarian food tour on scooters with Anh and his friend in Hue. It was such a wonderful and culinary inspiring evening. Anh is a fantastic tour guide! :)Written December 3, 2022
- Ryan L0 contributionsThe best way to discover the food in Hue.Can’t thank Anh enough for this tour. It was such good value for money. He has a distinct passion for the food in Hue, and took us round his favourite spots, and provided expert details on all the dishes we were served: the salted coffee was a personal highlight. Inbetween meals, he gave a guided tour of the city, with an in depth knowledge of the area, and this history of Vietnam in general. I also want to mention that we done this tour during a monsoon, and the 4 of us trudged through knee deep water with smiles on our faces the entire time, you cannot fault his commitment or passion for his work. Hue really is a food capital of Vietnam, and if you are considering experiencing it for yourself, do yourself a favour and go through Hue Cooking Class.Written October 24, 2022
- Annimo0 contributionsGo. You won’t regret it!!Do not miss this tour. Anh & friends are dedicated, passionate, knowledgeable AND very friendly. You’ll have a glimpse of the best food the beautiful city of Hue has to offer - from salty coffee to che, crispy crepes and scrumptious lemongrass pork roll -and everything in between :) In the meantime, you’ll meet with Anh and have the opportunity to satisfy your curiosity on Vietnam’s politics, education, culture. Be sure to be hungry, you’ll have a blast. A real highlight, thank you Anh and Vi !!Written August 28, 2022
- Sonja71120 contributionsGreat & Authentic!Anh is a knowledgeable guide, a great chef & a wonderful person. We had a fantastic time doing a cooking class in a very authentic setting. Anh speaks perfect english and is very patient, really taking the time to connect with us and to teach us all about the Vietnamese cuisine. The food was incredible!!! We had a great time and can definitely recommend you to take a class. Thanks Anh!Written July 10, 2022
- 927staceyn0 contributionsLovely guide and fantastic food!We had a fantastic cooking class with Anh! Starting with a taxi pick up from our hotel, he whisked us to a fresh food market where we got to see how locals learn, cook and eat. We then made three delicious meals at Ann's sister's house: green mango and prawn salad, beef in betel leaves and lemongrass chicken. Anh was super friendly and helpful, and happily amended the planned menu so there was no pork. Thank you so much! We would highly recommend Anh to other travellers!Written June 29, 2022
- christiegavin330 contributionsShopping in marketWonderful afternoon spent with Anh going to market to choose vegetables to cook for a late lunch. Anh speaks excellent English and can explain about the flavours and different ingredients and then demonstrate perfect tofu spring rolls. Yummy and good fun. Recommend!!Written February 18, 2020
- W8392NPmartinm0 contributionsMemorable experience and well worth tryingWe did a cooking class and a food tour (both vegetarian) with Anh and thoroughly enjoyed both. We were the only clients for both sessions and we enjoyed a very personal experience. For the cooking class, Anh took great care to explain all steps of preparing and cooking the ingredients and we were able to put his advice into practice as we actually cooked the food. The resulting meal was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For the food tour, Anh managed to find some interesting food in places we probably would not have dared try by ourselves. He speaks excellent English and we really enjoyed our chats about food and life in Vietnam. Anh was really fast to respond to any messages and when we had some scheduling difficulties (of our own making), he was happy to juggle things around to suit our over-complicated agenda.Written February 9, 2020
- Unknown0807080708070 contributionsIt was amazingIt was amazing, our cook took us to the market, he knew every fruit or vegetables. He was very funny, he spoke perfect English. Since we are a family with young children that can't cook by themselves. He gave them leftovers from the fruit to cut with kitchen knife. Overall I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU PICK THIS COOLING CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT.Written January 5, 2020
- Curious4250890 contributionsIncredible morning and amazing mealWe went with another couple for the vegetarian cooking class. Anh came and met us at the hotel and took us to the market. It was great to wander with someone who knows what to look for and where to go. We then went on the make three I crédible dishes. It was great to chat with Anh and learn more about life in Hue. We finally sat down to eat a great meal together! It was delicious!Written January 3, 2020

Our family with 3 teens took part in Anh’s cooking class. Starting with a visit to the market where Anh told us about all the different fruits, vegetables, fish, etc; answering all our questions while purchasing ingredients for our class and lunch. Back at the home we all took part in preparing the ingredients, everyone chopped, mixed, stirred… we had a great time, and all the food we prepared was delicious. After a bit over 5 hours we were all full up with our delicious dishes, finished off with beautiful fresh fruit. It was interesting to see inside a home, and to hear Anh speak about Vietnamese life. We all had a great time and would highly recommend. So good to see someone making a go of something they’re obviously passionate about.

We had an amazing time with Anh in Hue! He showed us how to cook 3 delicious dishes with all the details and little tips about how to cook them right. He was very enthusiastic and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Hue is often overlooked for cooking classes but we learned a lot that we will apply back home and recommend this course to anyone going to Hue. Best cooking course we‘ve done on our 4 week trip in Vietnam!

Mostly we stood around with the other family on our tour. We were there over 3 hours and spent about 5 minutes chopping, and 5 mins stirring some food. We watched Ahn shop at market, but most of food was already purchased and somewhat prepared. Most of the time we sat around doing nothing and when we asked to participate were told it was not time yet. No class, no real involvement. It was mostly excellent food that we sometimes watched being prepared, but most of the work was done in another room. When the tour was over we were left 3 km from the market and had to make our own way back. We were disappointed with the experience.

Dear 285glendas
Its so poision and terrible feeling about your not telling the truth on purpose. You should be honest with what you said and honest with yourself.
Here is the truth what i have been doing with all my customers included you ofcourse.
First, i took you to market and explained thing happening around here. Also explained all ingredient which i bought right away when go to market whith you such as lemongrass, chili, onion, green mango, carrot, mint, basil, salad and shrimp. (The only chicken and pork i bought in early morning because people not store meat in cooling so i bought this before class for freshness).
Second, when back at class i only wash vegetable to ready for your cooking while you sit down 10mins to relax and talk. Then all ingredient brought to table for you prepare. So what is "most of work done in another room". What a hillarious ?
Third, you cut all ingredient lemongrass, chili, onion, sharlot, chicken. Grate carrot, mango, pick mints, basil, boil shrimp for salad. Then place pork on lemon grass for bbq pork. After all stir fried your chicken and eat everything you cooked.
So what else you meant you most sit down and do nothing ???
Honestly, the truth is the truth and i feel sick to explain all those thing truely happend at class which everyone done and known it done with all the work that way. But just want to let you be honest and dont ruin others holiday with your personal thoughtless.
Finally, class take place at the house where i rent 1km from center which 3km from your hotel is not what i can do. I not a rich people to rent all the house in city and have to be next to your hotel.
So thing is out clearly for my next customers to understand and know the truth to join my class.
I had all nice people who i feel very happy to meet and share my passion for Vietnamese food though. Always respect that. Just the negative of your rate will some how low my rating, but never change my passion for food.
Be happy, be respect your life

This was undoubtedly the most memorable experience in my 3 week visit to Vietnam. Anh kindly accepted my solo booking, the first of the lunar New year. The morning was spent visiting the local markets. Anh welcomed my many, many questions about the local history of Hue and cultural customs. Anh is a fascinating and generous person and has much to share beyond the actual cooking class, it is so much more than a simple cooking class and if your curious about Vietnam you'll come away with more than a very full stomach.
The class itself was very relaxed. We prepared 3 dishes and an incredible peanut sauce that accompanied the BBQ pork on lemongrass skewers. We also made a green mango and carrot salad and a lemongrass chicken stir fry. Every bite was delicious! Anh sends all of his guests a copy of these amazing dishes to try at home.
Don't hesitate to try this class, you'll be glad you did!

Anh’s cooking class was so great. Anh took the time to answer our various questions at the market. We cooked three different dishes and learnt much about local ingredients throughout the afternoon. Anh was very patient with our 11 year old, who had limited cooking experience. And the food was delicious. It was also great to have the privilege of learning in a home environment with all the day to day domestic surrounds.

Anh is a great teacher, very passionate about what he does and speaks amazing English!
Ignore any bad reviews, the lemongrass chicken was to die for and the green mango salad was a revelation! The pork skewers are barbecued on lemon grass sticks and were delicious.
We picked up all of our ingredients fresh at the market just beforehand and Anh spoke to us about what the unusual fruits and veg were and a bit about the history of the market. The cooking itself was accessible enough for beginner cooks to get stuck into, but still different enough from western styles to engage more experienced cooks as well!

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Anh. He picked us up from our hotel and we toured the local market as he shared his expert food knowledge. Then off to a nearby local home to prepare and cook three delicious recipes. Not only was he a great source of knowledge about Hue food, but we also enjoyed hearing his perspectives on life in Vietnam. He answered all our questions and was great company. Our session ran longer because we talked so much! We would thoroughly recommend Anh to anyone looking for a fun and authentic experience in Hue.

Anh is an excellent chef who welcomed us into his own house and made us feel at home. I am so grateful for this opportunity to share stories and cook with Hue's sweetest person. This experience was so worth it and you will definitely be impressed and satisfied by the flavors. The dishes were truly the best!
I was picked up at my hotel even though it wasn't listed in the selected hotels so I truly appreciated it. I cannot recommend enough!

I did the vegetarian cooking class and thought it was amazing. We went to the market to get the ingredients and Anh showed us all the techniques explaining how to combine the ingredients. We will definitely be trying to re-create what we made at home! Really excellent quality ingredients, I would definitely recommend, especially to any vegetarian/vegan travellers. Thank you so much!

Anh speaks great English and is very knowledgeable, personable and talkative. It was a pleasure spending time with him and his wife.
The food is delicious and we will definitely make these dishes at home.
From the market to his lovely neighborhood kitchen it was a wonderful experience. Would go again for different dishes!
