I’m Lua, the owner of Lua’s Kitchen. I’ve hosted 4000+ guests since 2017. I have visited 16 countries (still counting), love to practice gym, meditation and latin dance for a healthy mind and body.
I grew up in the Northern countryside where everything was self-sufficient. I learned a lot about how to grow food, prepare and cook from scratch with all natural ingredients from the farm and garden (My father was a chef). I’ve lived in the South for 26 years. So I specialize in authentic and healthy home-style dishes from North to South Vietnam.

All guests prepare, cook from scratch and eat together the same menu at my home-setting kitchen (no separate station for each guest). I will advise you on how best to prepare the food and guide you step by step through that cooking process to ensure you to get the best results.

great experience - What a fantastic experience with Lua. I went with a couple of colleagues after a conference and we met some other lovely people there. Good hands on experience and nice to be in a home doing all the measuring chopping etc. Small group, great apartment - very happy for the air-conditioned apartment. To top it all off a delicious meal cooked and shared by all. Hoghly recommend.

Wonderful cooking class - My friends and I had an amazing time at Lua’s cooking class. Firstly, her home is beautiful and clean, which was a great ambience to make food. She shared so much of her knowledge about Vietnamese dishes and was able to teach us how to make some of our favorites, as well as introduce us to new dishes. The food was delicious, and Lua was able to accommodate me as a Vegetarian. The class was a good mix of cooking demonstrations as well as our own participation.
I would definitely recommend this class to anyone traveling to Ho Chi Minh City!

Authentic Vietnamese cooking class with amazing view - We had an amazing experience cooking with Lua on our trip to Saigon. Lua’s cooking class was a superb, very authentic and enjoyable experience. The food was absolutely delicious and recipes so simple that we can definitely cook up a storm and impress our family and friends when we get back home.
Lua was a great host and the view from her apartment was absolutely stunning. We would highly recommend!

A Wonderful Evening Cooking Class - An unforgettable experience! Lua is not only incredibly warm and welcoming but also a joy to be around—she made the entire evening feel like a gathering with an old friend. The food? Hands down the best meal we’ve had in Vietnam so far—every bite was packed with authentic flavors. And to top it all off, the view from the apartment is absolutely breathtaking, making the whole experience feel even more magical. If you’re considering this, don’t hesitate—it’s a must!

Culinary and personally enriching - It was really great, we cooked 3 dishes: Chicken Pho, banh xeo and pomelo salad. Lua not only introduced us to Vietnamese cuisine, we also had a very good conversation with her. Her English is excellent and it was all very nice and clean. The view from their living room is breathtaking! In case you wonder why there are so few reviews on Tripadvisor, Lua is new to the site but there are almost 600 reviews on Airbnb:)

The Best Vietnamese Souvenir … you’ll enjoy your cooking lesson in your own home when you recreate this delicious food. - Lua will have you making traditional Vietnamese rolls filled with fresh prawns and pork. Or you might prepare crispy pancakes, Vietnamese bánh xèo from scratch. Lua is so fun, very welcoming and an amazing cook. You will feel at home in her kitchen.
Her apartment also has a breathtaking river view of Saigon for you to enjoy whilst you eat all the delicious food you cooked.
