Very accessible for kids and the results were super impressive. We learnt so much from Vi-nas and the dumplings and pork we made were totally bussin. Thank you Vi-nas!

- MirandaE4620 contributionsPersonalised amazing cooking classVina is a wonderful host. She is a lot of fun and full of energy. We needed to have the menu adjusted as we cannot have sugar. This was no problem for vina and she accommodated this with ease. We cooked stuffed quid and beef bettel rolls. Absolutely delish and plentiful. Ho picked us up and took us for a market visit to buy some ingredients. This is a very personalised cooking class which we HIGHLY recommend. A most wonderful way to spend a morning. Thank you Vina for being a nana ing host.Written June 24, 2024

- Go683068084240 contributionsAwesome cooking classThis was a great cooking class in Hoi An. It started with a seamless pickup from Da Nang, followed by a visit to the local market for some fresh ingredients. The cooking instructor, Han, was fantastic at guiding us through the preparation and cooking process. The venue was clean and the ingredients were fresh. The food was delicious and the recipes were easy to follow and replicate when we return home. I would highly recommend this activity.Written April 19, 2024
- TiffanyZ5820 contributionsMust do cooking school in Hoi An!!Wow!! Simply the best! My family and I did Gioan’s cooking class today and had the best time. We were picked up at our hotel, provided a fun tour at the market where we shopped and explored. Finally, we cooked 4 dishes from start to finish including spring rolls, pork in a clay pot, fish wrapped in banana leaves and pho. Everything tasted delicious. Most importantly the amazing staff were friendly and funny. We laughed as much as we cooked. This is a must if you are in Hoi An. Fantastic activity to do with a family. Thank you to Happy!Written April 15, 2024

- 625elisial0 contributionsHomey cooking class experienceThe whole experience was amazing, from fast replies even though we booked late to the informative market trip and of course a wonderful homey cooking class! Chef Hanh was so welcoming and created a fun atmosphere! Was the perfect chill activity to do with friends and we will definitely be trying out the new recipes leaned! Highly recommend this booking if you want an experience in hoi an to make your bellies and heart full <3.Written March 7, 2024
- Bjtbn550 contributionsGioan is a cooking class on steroids; just do it!I have to say, having travelled now for 3 weeks in Vietnam I couldn’t wait to get back to Gioan Cocking Classes; having been there almost 8 years ago. With a group of 6 in our travelling party we fronted up to a private cooking class - and the fun began. After Mr Ho collected us and we visited the local market to gather ingredients for our cook we were then escorted to the kitchen. Chef Hanh and Chef ViNa are a talent that needs to be seen to be appreciated. They are both experts in their craft and they make everyone feel at home in the kitchen. It is a no pressure environment and most definitely a fun zone. If you want an experience of a life time cooking genuine Vietnamese cuisine ; just do it! An experience; and a friendship we will never forget. Cheer, Jack, Rika, Kat, Darc, Chris & Andrew. J;(-👍❤️🇻🇳Written March 6, 2024
- 929rikas0 contributionsThe best cooking school on Hoi AnWe have done many cooking classes in Hoi An and Gioan is definitely the best. This was our second trip back to them. Chefs Hahn & Vina know their stuff and go out of their way to make you feel like family. It was such a fun experience, the girls are both such fun and full of personality! We booked a private class for 6 adults and cooked 4 dishes which were all packed with flavour. We also got recipe books to take home and Chef Hahn gave us heaps of tips for preparing and storing the sauces and pastes. Make sure you only have a very light breakfast as there is heaps of food to eat. This is now our go-to cooking class when we visit Hoi An and we highly recommend Gioan as so much more of an experience than just a cooking course! We are all now going for an afternoon siesta as we are all in food comas! Do yourself a favour and book a class! Rika, Jack,Kat, Darcy, Andrew & ChrisWritten March 3, 2024
- darcyq20240 contributionsGreat cooking class!What an absolute blast! Had a great time with the chefs creating easy and delicious Vietnamese food! After taking a trip to the market we made 4 sensational dishes and spent hours laughing in stitches with the chefs! A great day, would 100% recommend!!Written March 3, 2024
- katacias0 contributionsBest Cooking class experience in Hoi An!Amazing! This is our second time visiting chef Han and chef Vi na, and they didn’t disappoint! We cooked four fabulous dishes and they were delicious! The class was so much fun, and very easy to follow along!! great for all levels of skill and the chefs have a great sense of humor and make the experience so memorable! Best cooking class in Hoi An!! They also take you to the markets beforehand to buy all the ingredients! Loved every second!!Written March 3, 2024
- IanFromPort0 contributionsFantastic funFantastic fun and we learnt a lot too in a group of 20 friends. It's our second cooking class at Gioan (we were last there pre-COVID). We had even more fun than the first time - and our first timers loved it just as much. The teachers really tap into your sense of humour and learning style as a group, and teach you how to cook Vietnamese favourites at home - with ingredients available in most Western citiesWritten February 28, 2024

We had the most amazing time cooking with Hanh! We made Banh Xeo, clay pot pork, lemongrass and chili chicken and banana fritter. It was excellent and very easy to follow. I feel very confident that we will be making these dishes at home as well! It was absolutely worth every penny and I would absolutely recommend this class for anyone! We had a private tutor for the two of us and got to select the items we wanted from a huge selection. It was super amazing, definitely go here and do this if you are in Hoi An!

A thoroughly vibrant experience. vina was a truly engaging demonstrator/teacher. It was so enjoyable we enrolled for a second experience with a different menu Her driver who picked us up at the hotel and took us to the morning market so we could be immersed in the fresh food experience was fully informative and engaged us in extra Vietnamese culture.

Today which is Christmas Eve it's raining and we were looking for an indoor activity to do so started Googling cooking classes. This company got our attention with great reviews and menu to cook as is a wide variety of things, so thought we would give it a try and soooo glad we did. Was amazing, we were taken for a private tour though some local nearby markets on foot, not the tourist ones, was very good. Then we went back to the place for cooking classes, was just the 2 of us and there was another family of 4. Each small group had our own teacher, our teachers name is Vino who was lively and fun. On booking we choose 4 different dishes to cook which turned out all amazing and was best food ever, you will see as you just have to try this, it's no pressure relaxed fun. Can even drink whilst you cook if you want. Easy step by step instructions and a printed book on the ingredients and methods, so you can repeat at home. We cooked the Hoi An Fried rice (best fried rice ever) the banana leaf fish (OMG) the pork and shrimp pancake (just delicious) and the chilli lemon grass chicken (just Devine)
I want to go back tomorrow as it's a fantastic experience you will use for the rest of your life.

We started our experience with Ho who guided us through a local market to select our fresh produce for the cooking class. This was an experiential shopping trip where there were opportunities to smell fresh herbs, identify traditional vegetables and learn about the local women selling their products. Ho was knowledgeable and had a fantastic sense of humor.
We then walked through the neighborhood to the cooking class where we were greeted by Han. She walked us through the preparation of a 4 course meal~do come hungry for this class!! She too was exceptionally knowledgeable in her ability to instruct and ensure we could take our cookbook home and replicate the Vietnamese food back in Canada. This food was amongst the best we have had in traveling through Vietnam!
Highly recommend this experience as a highlight of Hoi An!

We were picked up from our hotel door and taken to the market where we picked up some fresh herbs and vegetables.
Vina the chef then explained the 4 dishes we had chosen and took us through the different processes on how to prepare and cook each one. She was amazing and interesting to talk with as she spoke very good English.
The food tasted great therefore we must be great chefs. Thank you Vina for an entertaining afternoon
