Top Seoul Cooking Classes

This cooking class was both fun and educational. Grace is a great teacher who is clearly passionate about sharing the craft of Korean cooking and culture. You learn so much in just a few hours and get to enjoy all of what you make. Both Grace and Stephen were highly professional, organized, and meticulous in making sure everyone walks away with truly a wonderful experience. It’s well worth the cost. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Easy and comfortable ride from ICN airport to my hotel in Seoul. Also very flexible - my original flight was cancelled and I was booked on a subsequent flight that arrived 14 hours later than originally planned. It was easy to coordinate the changes via WhatsApp.

This was a great opportunity to experience traditional Korean culture through food and visits to a palace and temple. This was a small group so getting around the market and other attractions was easy. Our guide was fabulous and answered our questions readily and knowledgeably.

Our instructor Sally and her colleague were very welcoming, kind, open and perfectly organized. The atmosphere within our small group of five participants was cheerful and warm hearted. Strangers got to get fellows in doing, practicing and dining together. Great thanks and any time again. Another time I would love to add an extra hour maybe to learn how to prepare a Korean dessert, as well.

Everytime I travel to different countries I always take a cooking class. I loved this class. We made some really good chicken, some sauce to go with it and tteokbokki as well. Her studio was nice and cute and she explains everything so well. She was so nice too.

Our tour guide/teacher was very friendly and personable. She met me with a smile and was very knowledgeable about Korean customs and food culture. We made several delicious dishes and ate what we made together. It was very enjoyable and I would recommend this tour to a friend.

We had a fantastic food tour with Mike and would highly recommend both him and this tour to anyone visiting Seoul! Mike took us to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, and every single food and drink we tried was absolutely delicious. Beyond the amazing food, he did a wonderful job teaching us about the history behind certain dishes and sharing interesting information about the neighborhoods we explored, which made the experience even more meaningful. He was also incredibly thoughtful throughout the tour—always making sure to grab water in addition to the alcoholic drinks and consistently pointing out bathroom locations, which was greatly appreciated during a long evening of eating and walking. One thing that really stood out was how authentic the experience felt. We passed several other food tours that seemed to stay exclusively in the touristy areas, and it made us even more grateful that we chose Mike’s tour instead. If you’re looking for a food tour that goes beyond the typical tourist experience and gives you a genuine taste of Seoul, don’t hesitate to book with Mike. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Mike also made himself available for us to text throughout our stay with questions we had which was so nice to have a local as a resource!

This was a great time. Easy meetup outside the subway. We got a guided tour through the market (which was much less crowded with tourists than the Gwangjang market in Jongno I’d been to) and a bit of time to explore on our own. Then we went to the cooking school where each participant had their own cooking station. Everything was really well-planned and the food itself was truly delicious! Impossible to know ahead how a group is going to be, but ours was really fun. Great people to hang out with and enjoy the evening.
