We had an amazing time! Vy was very informative, taking us through shopping at street vendors and through the cooking workshop. Would highly recommend!
It was awesome to cook 5 amazing dishes and doing this by going to the market to buy the ingredients to making the tastiest pancake. Also Vi has a lot of patience and she's always positive and a great teacher.
Vy explains every step and guided us with a lot of patience. I have also appreciated that she was open to discuss various topics so I had the cacnce to find out a lot of Vietnamese people.
Such a good coking class. I learnt 5 different delicious dish and Vy was a very good professor. She explained very well all the recipes and she has a really good English. So nice experience. I recommend !

Attended the class with Hailey! Amazing teacher, authentic class
We had a wonderful time cooking and chatting with Hailey. We learned a lot about how vietnamese food is prepared and then got to taste how delicious our labor was in the end. We cooked Banh Xeo, Soup, Beef rolls, Chicken Salad and Egg Coffee. Everything turned out delicious thanks to Haileys easy to follow instructions!
It was a wonderful Event. Our teacher Hailey explained all very detailed, so easy for everyone to follow. One the market every question was answered. A Great experience and a wonderful cooking time. I can highly recommened the cooking course.
We had such a great experience at this cooking class! The instructor was friendly, patient, and explained everything clearly. We learned how to prepare several local dishes and really enjoyed the whole process. The ingredients were fresh, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the food we made was delicious. It was a lovely activity for couples and also a great way to learn more about the local culture. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
We did the 3 hour class and it was so fun we cooked all the dishes and got to experience all the Vietnamese food. Hailey was our guide and was so kind and helped us understand Vietnamese culture and cuisine
Amazing cooking class and teacher Hayley looked after us and taught us many things about Vietnamese cooking and culture. Would definitely recommend. Food was really tasty and the market walk was fun.
Had a wonderful time learning from Hazel! Food was great!
We had a very pleasant evening at the cooking class. Even as relative novices, we could easily follow. The location was convenient and nicely cooled (much appreciated in hot Hanoi). After a few hours of following Hailey's enthousiastic instructions, we ended up with 5 delicious dishes: surprised we made it all ourselves!
Hayley was fabulous! Small group (just us - 1 couple - and 1 other person). Informative yet short trip to the market before the class and then plenty of time cooking. Hayley got everyone involved and offered helpful tips and advice on how to prepare the dishes as well as general knowledge on the dishes and Vietnamese life. There was plenty of food - we all ate until we were full and there was still plenty leftover. I would recommend for a local small business cooking class.
We had a great cooking class with Hazel. Lots of information, cozy talks, lots of laughs. I would highly recommend this if you wanna learn about Vietnamese cooking in a relaxed and informal setting!
One of the best experiences we had in Hanoi. Hailey was an excellent guide, from walking us through the market explaining all about Vietnamese food, to making some slight adjustments for dietary requirements and helping us to cook 5 amazing dishes. We couldn’t eat all the food we cooked! Highly recommend this class, it was easy to find and the experience was even better than expected. You also get a copy of the recipes and a certificate. We had a lot of fun!
Hazel is the best cooking instructor ever. She is friendly、patiently and professional English instructor. I will definitely join the class again when I got chance to visit Hanoi in the future. 👍👍👍
Looooove Haley! She’s so nice and kind! I would recommend
Amazing experience ! We cooked a delicious 5 courses while learning very interresting information about food and the country. We highly recommand this wonderful activity !
The experience was amazing. Our guide, Hailey was friendly and made the whole process easily. I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The group was a small size and this is best for food lovers like myself.
The experience was wonderful. Me and my family had an amazing time. The class was affordable and the cooking time was very short for the dishes. The class had a chilled but fun atmosphere and I never felt awkward once. There weren’t as many people making the class more fun and flexible. Our guide was very positive and polite and really gave us a lot of insight about the food and culture behind it.
My daughter & I took the class & had Hailey for instructor. She had the best smile and a very relaxed attitude that made the class super fun!
Hailey was a really good tour guides. She explained everything very clean and made the experience better!
Halei was a great instructor, the food and the experience was wonderful
Vy is the best guide and chef ever. The food was unbelievable
My family had an amazing time doing the cooking class with Hailey. The food turned out delicious and it was such a unique, interactive way to experience local Vietnamese culture. Hailey was a charismatic and friendly guide!
Hazel was our chef and instructor. She was very knowledgeable and personable. We loved our experience and the lunch we prepared was exceptional. We highly recommend this activity and Hazel especially
I loved the cooking class very much. We cooked many delicious dishes and it was interesting to learn how to cook some dishes. My guide Hailey was very kind and welcoming. She explained everything very well and it was funny to talk to her.
Hailey was great! Very fun class
Really one the most great experience I had since visiting hanoi. If you come here you will not be disappointed. Definitely a 10 out 10.
Amazing experience, great teacher. Now we know how to prepare main dishes from Vietnam
Great cooking class,.highly reccommend. Hazel was welcoming and very knowledgeable. Plenty of delicious food to feast on after.
A wonderful experience, with a lively friendly group of strangers, all fellow food lovers. Brilliant teaching from the effervescent Hailey, with a fantastic set of dishes with fresh, clean truly Vietnamese ingestion and flavours.

We really have good time with Vy!!!!GREAT!!!!!! Love it greattttttt 很推薦的行程,很開心順便練習聽力好玩!!!適合朋友、家人一起來的行程 動手做菜還有逛市場是很棒的體驗
Thank you Emmy for a 5 star cooking experience. You made everything look so easy, from shopping at the local market tasting new foods and having a delicious meal at the end with our group. Would highly recommend this to anyone travelling around Hanoi. It will not disappoint you.
Hands on and informative. Particularly the market and purchasing ingredients
Lynn was delightful and very welcoming and informative. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend.
Great experience with Bella!
Brilliant experience overall, Lynn was very helpful and clear and explained everything perfectly and it gave a real insight into Vietnamese cuisine.
This Vietnamese cooking class was absolutely wonderful and truly one of the highlights of our stay. Our teacher Vy led the class with so much warmth, calmness, and knowledge that we felt comfortable from the very first moment. The atmosphere was incredibly pleasant and relaxed – nothing felt rushed or overwhelming. Instead, everything was done in a very natural, welcoming way, where everyone felt included and at ease. Vy explained each step clearly, answered questions patiently, and created a space that felt personal, calm, and genuinely caring. The dishes were authentic, delicious, and still easy to recreate at home. At the end of the class, we were given a recipe book with all the dishes we prepared. What made the experience even more special was that Vy didn’t just teach recipes, but also shared insights into Vietnamese food culture, which added so much depth and meaning to the class. If you’re looking for a cooking class that feels personal, warm, and thoughtfully guided, rather than touristy or hectic, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended – we would do it again anytime! 💛🍜
We had a cooking class guided by Vy. She was a very good instructor, explaining every step and also telling us a lot about the Vietnamese food and culture. Throughout the whole course there was a warm, almost family-like atmosphere and we had a great time. We ended the evening with a generous, delicious multi-course meal.
Me and my girlfriend booked this class with Vy (premium option with Banh Xeo) and didn't regret it. The food was amazing and definitely more interesting than the regular option. The price bump compared to the regular is minimal but the experience of likely doing it with less people and making more interesting dishes is totally worth it. Vy has great energy and was super helpful and we also had an amazing chat while eating. To Total recommend it to everyone
Vy was a brilliant teacher. High energy, encouraging, great English, and taught us a lot about Vietnamese culture whilst we ate. The dishes were fun to cook and it was interesting to see how locals buy fresh ingredients at the market (photos). Highly recommend this class and Vy!
An amazing evening with Vy, the food was amazing the experience even better. Strongly recommended. Doing the premium option was great as it meant we had an experience that was just our family. thanks Vy.
Vy had a great sense of humour and did an excellent job of teaching us the right technique to get the best out of every dish.
We had a lovely cooking class today with Perla. We went through the markets and then went back to cook 5 dishes with our group and then sat down to eat it. Really fun morning, highly recommend
Coco did an amazing job! Highly recommend her cooking class. Bun cha & nem were my favorite. We had vegetarian options as well!
