Great insight into Vietnamese cuisine from start to finish - This is a great experience if you want to learn more about Vietnamese cooking. The cyclo trip is also super fun (remember to bring a tip for the driver). Chef Vu is very knowledgeable and helpful. We did this with our three boys and they all loved it too. Highly recommend.

I 100% recommend! - It was a truly amazing experience. This was a very hands-on experience, and the chef was great to work with. In addition to providing clear instructions, he was extremely kind. They also provide you with all the recipes. My son and I really enjoyed the class and the delicious food

Fun with Chef Vu - Great fun. Chef Vu is full of energy and you can't help smiling all the way through. We were in a large group but he still had time for everyone. Recipes sent later is a nice touch, and starting the trip off on a Cyclo tour was an experience if you know anything about Saigon traffic. Best thing we did all trip

Yummy food - Chef Vu was amazing. I went with my friends having no knowledge on how to cook Vietnamese food, Chef Vu made everything so easy to understand. We cooked spring rolls, vietnamese pancakes and pho. Everything tasted insanely good. Definitely recommend this.

Fun, easy cooking - Chef Vu and staff were very friendly and the dishes were easy to make. Everything was basically prepped for us and all we had to do was to put it together. It was less hands-on than other travel cooking classes than I've done, but great for kids and learning about Vietnamese foods.
We did have an excellent time with the other family in the class. Catching a ride on the Cyclo was a fun experience to slowly see the city center.
