Amazing experience! - Me and my boyfriend decided to do a cooking class for our last day in Hanoi. We met up with the chef (Devin) and he was really friendly and it was really easy to communicate in English. He was knowledgeable about the city and the history. We picked up a few things from the market and then we went to the cooking school and prepared 3 appetizers a main dish and even made egg coffee! They even welcomed us with a yummy ice avocado drink 😋. Devin was amazing through the process, we felt like we were cooking with an old friend. We really enjoyed enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend it to others. We can’t wait to come back to Hanoi and see what their food tour has to offer as well 🥰💜🙏🏻 Cảm ơn

Satisfied Stomach - The class is amazing. We started by having a tour to the market for shopping and ending with a filled up and happy stomach. It’s a very good way to experience Vietnam. Definitely worth an afternoon. Just a side note, not to eat too much before the class. 😂

Amazing day! - Perfect if you want to eat, cook or talk with a local for a couple of hours. Really clean space too! Everything was perfect. We had an amazing day with Devin! We got to cook 5 delicious dishes. There was plenty to eat and bring back home. We even had fresh fruits and smoothies. The cooking was fun, the food was delicious and the conversations we had with our teacher, Devin, were really fullfilling. We got to learn about the culture while cooking. An amazing and friendly experience I would recommend to every group and lonely traveler. It was an amazing day that had us smiling all day.
