Eleven dishes, endless laughs — Tan is the best!
If you want to experience Seoul's street food scene the right way, take this tour with Taehaeng (Tan). He's funny, knowledgeable, and keeps the energy high from the first bite to the last. And the food — eleven dishes! We tried mayak "drug" kimbap (dangerously addictive, as the name promises), tteokbokki, crispy mung bean pancakes, savory pork meatball pancakes, a trio of dumplings (pork, kimchi, and shrimp), bubbling hot-pot bulgogi, silky beef tartare, twisted rice doughnuts, syrup-filled hotteok, and traditional makgeolli rice wine to wash it all down. I even braved sannakji — live octopus — which literally clings to the inside of your mouth as you eat it. An unforgettable experience! Between bites, Tan taught us Korean drinking games ("3, 6, 9" and "Bunny Bunny"), which get significantly harder after a few cups of makgeolli. We laughed the whole way through

Four kinds of kimchi and a whole new skill set!
What a fantastic hands-on experience! The class started with a guided tour of Mangwon Market, where we saw the key kimchi ingredients up close — napa cabbage, chili peppers, fish sauce — which made the cooking that followed feel so much more meaningful. Then we rolled up our sleeves and made not one but FOUR types of kimchi: traditional napa cabbage kimchi (I learned the cabbage needs at least 10 hours of brining!), fresh kimchi, daikon kimchi sweetened with Asian pear, and cucumber kimchi. My favorite part was hand-stuffing the spicy chili paste between every single cabbage leaf — you quickly understand why kimchi-making is such a labor of love in Korean families. The instruction was clear and the pace was perfect for beginners. I left with a real understanding of the fermentation process and the confidence to make kimchi at home. If you want to go beyond just eating Korean food and learn one of its cornerstone traditions, this class is a must!

A private feast — seven courses with a fine-dining pro!
This class exceeded all my expectations. I turned out to be the only attendee for the Sunday morning session, and instead of canceling, they ran it as a private one-on-one lesson — what a treat! Sharon, the instructor, was personable, patient, and explained every step clearly. She's worked in fine dining restaurants, so you're truly learning from a professional. We made an incredible SEVEN courses: Korean-style gimbap (with sesame oil rice instead of vinegar), crispy kimchi pancake, zucchini and meat pancakes, bibimbap, bulgogi (with a great tip on using sugar for caramelizing), japchae, and a dessert of vanilla ice cream with fried rice cake stuffed with sweet red bean. The portions were so generous I got three full meals out of everything we made. More importantly, I left with the skills and confidence to do serious Korean home cooking on my own. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to go beyond restaurant Korean food and actually learn the craft!

We took Chef Park's...
We took Chef Park's cooking class in a beautiful 100-year-old hanok and left with full stomachs and a genuinely great evening behind us. Chef Park is an excellent instructor — funny, knowledgeable, and great at explaining not just the how but the why behind each dish. We made five things: tangpyeongchae (mung bean jelly with pork and vegetables), haemul pajeon, galbi short ribs, fresh kimchi, and Korean potato salad. It's an ambitious menu for one class, but the pacing worked well and everything came out delicious. The setting alone is worth mentioning — eating the meal you just made in a century-old hanok is a nice touch that elevates it beyond a typical cooking class. He also pointed us toward a great fried chicken spot afterward, which turned out to some of the best fried chicken we have ever had! I would recommend this class to any one who is interested in food and cooking.
