Great way to get a feel for Vietnam
May 2019
We deliberately did this our first full day in Vietnam to give us a bit of a guided assimmilation to the markets, the people and the culture. And it was a blast. The markets were awesome, the boat trip fun and the cooking and eating excellent. And a bit of theatre to go with it as the host serves up his quique sense of humour and chinglish. And we were poicked up from our hotel in Da Nang and taken back for a token fare. Must do it is such fun and worth every penny.

Really great fun cookery class
Feb 2020 • Friends
We were collected from our house in Da Nang at 7.30 by their shuttle bus. When we arrived we were taken on a walk through tour of the market, then a coracle ride on the river to catch a few mud crabs and finally to the restaurant for the class. Our host and his assistants were both entertaining and engaging. Beer on demand at vnd20k a can. Fab cooking class from making rice pancakes, ban xeo folded stuffed fried rice milk pancakes to flambéing rich sauce for barbecued aubergines. We ate what we cooked which was too much and totally delicious. The lesson was very informative and hands on. No rush. $32 each. All 6 of us agreed that this was one of the best days of our holiday. Can’t recommend this highly enough - so happy we booked it.

Great experience - cooking class with Hanh
Mar 2020 • Couples
We decided to take a cooking class in Hoi An. It was the best decision we did. We had so much fun with Hanh and learned a lot! We were picked up at the hotel, went to the market to buy all the fresh ingredients, got to the river to ride in a basket boat and then we went to the restaurant of Hanh. We were very lucky and it was a private cooking class for me and my boyfriend.
In total we cooked four dishes: fried spring rolls, fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes and fish soup. It was so yummy yummy yummy!
The kitchen we cooked in was very clean, everything was perfectly prepared and Hanh explained a lot! All in all we had a great morning with here. After the cooking class we were brought back to the market. I definitely recommend the tour!

Great cooking experience and more
Mar 2020
We were absolutely delighted with the cooking course. We were picked up directly at our hotel in Hoi An and then we visited the market in the city centre and bought our needed ingredients. That was very interesting and a lot was explained and shown to us. Afterwards we went on with a motorboat and changed then to the traditional busketboats. When we drove through the water coconut palms we were allowed to try our luck at crab catching, but they were released afterwards :) Afterwards we started cooking in a beautiful location. At the beginning we were shown the old equipment and were allowed to test it ourselves. For example how to make rice milk or how to remove the shell from the rice. Afterwards four dishes were cooked, these were always first cooked by the chef and then recooked by each participant. All dishes were very tasty. At the end each participant received a small cookbook and long wooden sticks for cooking. We can absolutely recommend the cooking class.

A highlight of our trip to Vietnam!
Jan 2020
We found the class based on the 2 very detailed reviews on private blogs, decided to book it and definitely did not regret it. The class was highly professional and well organised. Everything went very smoothly and on schedule. Your class starts with a visit to the local market where the main chef shows you different ingredients, spices, herbs and explains what they are used for in vietnamese dishes. We then took a bamboo boat ride to their kitchen where the class was held- the boat ride was really nice and relaxing. The class is held in an open-space kitchen by the river (the surrounding was quite nice!). What I especially liked about this class is the demonstration of rice paper making by hand where each of us had the chance to try and prepare it on their own (i did not see this included in other cooking classes). In 2 hours we managed to cook 5 dishes each of us, with the help of their team. There were a lot of them from their team in the kitchen helping us, cleaning after us, explaining, so the whole class went really smoothly with no delays, and there were around 14 of us attending the class. The level of hygiene is really high (we were frequently instructed to wash our hands, and also, each of us was given their own tray with a lid in which we put finished dishes so you eat what you prepare). Their team readily answered all our questions and shared useful information and tips on cooking. All of the dishes were really delicious and we got the book with the recipes we cooked at the end. At the end, each of you prepares 5 dishes which you eat for lunch, so make sure you are hungry by the end of the class. :) We had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Be careful, there is a cooking class with similar name, but these are not the same. We booked the class on their website.

Hoi an eco cooking class
Jan 2020 • Family
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class today.we have children aged 8 and 10 and they managed well and really enjoyed having their own station to cook with regular chefs assistance when required . The Hoi An Cooking Class not to be confused with the similarly named cooking Tour . Ours was so professional with wonderfully fresh ingredients, clean cooking stations and everything well prepared for us to enjoy the cooking. We made 6 dishes in 2 hours and then got to enjoy the meal together afterwards. It included a briefmarket visit and a coracle ride,making it one of the best tours we did as a family in Vietnam.

You MUST do this tour in Hoi An!
Jan 2020
This class was a highlight of our time in Hoi An! Not only did we get you make so many amazingly delicious dishes (I'm still dreaming about the sizzling pancakes!!), but the hosts were so welcoming and helpful. Perhaps the best part of this tour is how hands on it was! You got to do so many things yourself, including making your own rice paper over an open fire. It was so much fun!

They were also so accommodating with my fiances allergies to nuts and sesames seeds, whereas many other cooking classes were not able to accommodate this. If you're visiting Hoi An with a nut allergy (or any other allergy), contact them and they are an amazing help!

We got to bring the recipe book home and I can't wait to try to replicate some of these amazing recipes! Thanks again for such a special day! :)

exceptional cooking class perfection
Sep 2022
I was fortunate to pick this young man Kien Nguyen to develop my Vietnam food experience. Firstly a tour through the fresh food markets which were incredible, then a hands on cooking class were i actually learnt the fine art of making my own rice milk, to making the rolls to eating . No other tour gives this experience . The cost was unbelievable, $50 Australian for 5 hours of pure experience

10/10 the best experience we had in Hoi An!
May 2022 • Couples
We absolutely LOVED this cooking class! The organisation by the lovely staff was incredible and we were so well taken care of the entire time. We started with a trip to a local market, where Kien explained the different ingredients, then on to a coconut boat tour to catch crabs! It was such a beautiful day and the river was peaceful and very enjoyable. Of course the highlight was the cooking though, they provide superior quality ingredients and we make everything from scratch, ourselves! The food was, in my opinion, restaurant quality and we could not believe we actually made what we did (and we are certainly not great cooks by nature).
I could not imagine a better cooking school if you're visiting Hoi An and this is a must-do, even to learn about the local cuisine is really interesting! Definitely the best thing we did whilst we were in the city. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A good experience
Sep 2019 • Friends
I really liked the salad and the egg plant. The pho was good but not great. The market tour was ok... The crab catching experience was a bit disappointing.... I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do and I felt like it was too rush to fit crab catching into the program. There was also a quick fishing demonstration after crab catching.

I have joined many cooking classes around the world. I give the cooking class an average score. I give this a 4 as I appreciated them trying very hard to add more elements into the program. In addition, the booking process was simple and quick.
