Fabulous experience! Our instructors were so patient and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic! We made Bánh xèo and another couple made Phở gà, both dishes were flavorful and easy to follow their directions. We enjoyed the meal together and then made a delicious coconut coffee as well. Recipes were shared along with a few extras to take home. We will definitely look forward to another cooking class with this cooking school!

Absolutely charming dive into understanding how to cook tasty Vietnamese dishes. Emy is such a great guide, attentive, warm and glad. Warmly recommended.
Fabulous morning. Chris was great we prepared and are amazing food and I tried egg coffee for the first time and it was delicious. The setting for the class is lovely too
Wonderful experience with the Amazon teacher Alice! She’s really nice and her english is perfect. I really suggest this experience
Amazing experience - really the highlight of my time in Hanoi. Easy to follow the instructions and the results was absolutely delicious - will definitely be trying again when I get home to recreate it! I booked last minute when another tour canceled on me - so glad I found Rose Kitchen!
Great experience with Alice visiting the markets then making and eating delicious food. Facilities were pleasant and everything was well-organised.
My experience with Alice and her sister was wonderful starting from the Morning Market tour everything was in detail. It was hands-on session. The food was better than I had expected. The experience was fantastic. Looking forward to come again.
My Experience with Alice & her sister was wonderful starting from morning market tour everything was in detailed. It was hands on session the food that i learned was better than i expected. It was such a lovely experienced .Looking forward to come again.
We had Chris as our chef who was fantastic and great with our kids (5 and 7). We all enjoyed the cooking experience and food was delicious. Local knowledge and learnt about Vietnamese cuisine. Approx 2 hours in the end and would recommend. Small cooking group of 6 was great.
Very fun relaxed experience!
We took the Phó cooking class in Hanoi with Alice, and we honestly had such a wonderful time. We were very lucky because it was just the two of us, so it felt almost like having a private cooking class. Alice was an amazing chef , incredibly friendly, warm and open. We started by cooking, but little by little we got chatting and getting to know each other, so the experience became much more than just a cooking class. We actually went well over the scheduled time, but Alice was so relaxed and welcoming and never made us feel rushed. We ended up spending extra time cooking, chatting and laughing together, and it honestly felt like spending a few hours with a local friend. And, of course, the pho was absolutely delicious! We learned a lot about Vietnamese cuisine and how to prepare one of the country's most iconic dishes, but what made the experience truly special was the atmosphere and how much fun we had. If you're in Hanoi, I would 100% recommend doing this cooking class with Alice and her family . It's a really authentic, personal and enjoyable experience, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you so much, Alice, for such a lovely experience! ❤️
Such an amazing experience for me and my kids. We loved the market trip and cooking a vairty of dishes. Trevor was an exceptional host and we learnt so much
Trevor was a fantastic teacher, very funny! He taught us how to make vegetarian bun cha and it was delicious. He showed us how to make a coconut coffee as well. Gave us lots of recommendations too for coffee and food.
Wonderful experience -- it was really fun to learn how to cook Vietnamese dishes, and was definitely a lovely way to cap off our time in Hanoi. The guide (Trevor) was great as well. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and made the entire experience very interactive. Gave helpful tips too! Highly recommended.
We had the best time at Rose’ Kitchen for the Vietnamese cooking class. Collin was very knowledgeable and he made it a very fun and exciting class. It was great value for money. We had a small class of only 5 and so we really got to take our time preparing the food and cooking. I highly recommend this for people that are travelling and are interested in learning about the Vietnamese culture and cooking!
This was our favourite tour of the entire trip!! We had the best time at Rose Kitchen making Bun Cha. We got to try happy water and egg coffee too. Amy was such a good tour guide and chef. Plenty of laughs with a great group of people. After we did this tour we recommended it to 3 or 4 others that we met and told them they had to do it. Highly recommend upgrading / extending the tour or completing the 3 course tour. 10/10!!
Chris our chef for the day was super nice and fun. The food was amazing and we learned a lot! They even offered a vegan version of each meal which i really appreciate. Big recommendation!
Wonderful morning, informative, fun and delicious... I will definitely be trying to cook bun cha at home!
Trevor hosted us today for a cooking class. It was beautifully organised, fun and delicious. We really enjoyed the experience and look forward to booking again. Of all the cooking classes we have done in Vietnam, this was by far the best.
We had the BEST time with Trevor, the food was amazing and we learned a lot about the food but also about Vietnam. The food really was delicious!!!
honestly, this amazing cooking class was the highlight of our Vietnam trip. Maxie, our guide, was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable and helpful, and the dinner we had at the end was absolutely incredible. I'd give it 6 or 7 out of 5 stars if I could, and whenever we are back in Hanoi we'd absolutely book again without a doubt. The facility itself is also beautiful, and we loved having the market tour in the beginning as well! this is an amazing, authentic, and real class for anyone wanting to experience the real Hanoi, and what makes it so special. lots of love, Lara
Amazing. Interactive, fun and tasty experience. Great guide and location. Higher reccomend
I loved it—thank you so much, Kim! We learned how to cook pho and spring rolls, and we also learned about egg coffee. Kim gives you a lot of information, including cultural and historical background about the food you’re preparing. I’ll definitely go back to try the other activities.
Fantastique! I was lucky enough to be the only student in the class. Collin was so knowledgeable and fun. We made Cha Gio and then the best part- we ate them! A really unique experience. Highly recommend.
very nice experience, would do again!
Thank you Trevor and Kim for hosting the cooking class, lighting cooking class
Good class. Instructor Trevor demystified Pho. He provided just the right amount of information and was a great instructor.
We booked this class specifically to learn how to cook Pho, but the experience was very disappointing. The host was friendly and pleasant, but the content of the class was extremely weak. We were a group of 6 people and spent most of the time just standing around watching. Hands on participation was almost nonexistent. I cut ginger once, and my partner wiped the table once. That was basically our entire involvement during a class that lasted several hours. For a cooking class, this felt surprisingly passive. Watching a YouTube video would probably have been just as informative. The most disappointing part was that the Pho broth, the heart of the dish, was barely explained. The broth had already been prepared beforehand, which makes sense since it needs to simmer for many hours, but there was almost no real discussion of how it is actually made, what techniques matter, or how to achieve a good result. The atmosphere was nice and the host was kind, but if you actually want to learn how to cook Pho, this class offers very little value. Given our experience, it is honestly hard to understand the 5.0 rating
This was such a great experience for our Aussie family of 5! Our guide Kevin was outstanding with a great sense of humour and interesting information that had us all engaged - even after a very long of travelling! The food was delicious and so easy to make when we return home. The team were equally as great from hotel transfer to preparation and assistance with the cooking class. We also loved the market tour. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Hanoi- this company is extremely well organised and trustworthy- including with hygiene standards.
Simon was such a nice chef to learn from. He made sure we all were active and had the experience we were looking for. It is the most insightful cooking class I have had so far here in Vietnam: thank you! Another plus: the kitchen and environment are amazing.
Amazing experience with Lisa. The vibe was really good and we truly enjoyed the bun cha we made. As my mother described it: the best bun cha we tried in Vietnam!! Thanks for everything 😄
Maxi gave us a really engaging and enjoyable cooking class. We learn about the shopping, preparation and cooking and then had the delight of eating it. She explained everything wonderfully. Thank you.
Excellent experience!! They were able to fit us in as a last minute booking and went above and beyond. Alex was very knowledgeable and not only did he teach us how to cook, but he told us of the Vietnamese culture. Highly recommend for people wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, and simply enjoy some good old cooking. Thank you Alex and his Aunty ☺️
Best place ever. They upgraded us. Alex took us to the market and we picked out fresh produce from the local market. Interactive experience and very engaging. He is awesome!!! Went back to the kitchen and cooked pho, spring rolls and he brewed egg coffee. Amazing experience. 100000/10. Highly recommend. Well exceeds value. Must do. Thank you Alex!! And aunty xx!
Had an amazing time with Kim at Rose Kitchen! She was very informative and really fun and it was as very interesting to learn about the history of the different dishes and ingredients. Would 10000% recommend to anyone thinking about doing this! Thanks a lot xx
Love this class so much. Had to force my husband and kids to go but they ended up enjoying the experience as much as I did. Our instructor Alex is very knowledgeable and he made the experience so much fun. The food we cooked was so delicious. This experience is so worth it!!! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Amazing cooking class experience! Alex was an incredible guide—so funny, engaging, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire class. He explained everything clearly, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and kept the energy fun from start to finish. You can really feel his passion for Vietnamese food and culture. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every moment plus having dinner together was great, everything was so delicious. Highly recommend this class, especially with Alex as your guide!
Alex and Aunty are the best hosts and chefs!! He is so passionate about sharing his culture, food knowledge and love for Vietnam. This is one of my favorite cooking classes in the world!! I used to have a bread school and know the hard work behind the curtains. They both sis an amazing job in making a beautiful experience for everyone ❤️❤️❤️
Alex and his aunt taught us how to cook Vietnamese dishes. He also brought us to the market to buy the ingredients. Very enjoyable and we had amazingly tasty Vietnamese dinner.
Amazing night! Visited a market and got some actually good information on why we buy the things we buy, how they're made, their significance to the country and how to haggle like a pro. The cooking itself was fun, everyone got to try everything, the food ended up delicious and they were great with dietary preferences/allergies/intolerences. On top of that, simon and alex and alex' aunty were the sweetest and funniest people. 10/10 great experience
The class with Alex was perfect! The hotel pickup was super easy and on time and the whole experience was super fun and informative throughout from the walk through the market to the cooking/prep and of course once we got to actually eat at all of the delicious items we had prepared!
The expierience at Rose Kitchen was really great. Great organisitaion, great athmosphere 100% fun. Thanks a lot to Alex!
Alex is a very good host and taught us how to cook "the real spring rolks", chicken with noodles...also taated herbal tea, all in a friendly, cosy homeplace. Was a very tasteful dinner and great ice breaker to start our group trip.:)
This was a 10/10 experience, we loved it! Super fun and friendly and the food was AMAZING, really generous portion sizes. Alex was great, would definitely recommend Rose Kitchen.
Was very informative and entertaining. Staff are very friendly and the class itself was fun. Great salt coffee at the end too.
Aroma was the best guide and chef! She made the tour so funny and interesting and the whole experience a one to remember. Food was amazing!
The Vietnamese cooking class was an outstanding experience that I highly recommend to anyone eager to dive into authentic flavors and techniques. The instructor was knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly friendly, creating a fun and inspiring atmosphere from start to finish
Aroma (our instructor) did an amazing job touring us around the market, as well as teaching us how to cook and the history of the popular dishes in Vietnam. I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone traveling through Hanoi.
We booked the trip via Klook and it was amazingg! I have no regret at all. We were going with Aroma, she is such a fun and easy going person. She teaches us really well and is very kind. The foods we cooked are really nice. It’s delicious and a lot. We are really full right now haha. I highly recommend this cooking course if you have the time.
Had a great experience! Learned a lot and food was so good! Our instructor, Aroma, was also so nice and humorous 😊 definitely recommend trying this class
