The best starter Homecooking Class in vietnam

Roma_C, Oct 2025

She gave us a warm welcome with Icecold homemade Lemongrass tea Her cooking class was very interesting & easy to learn, and we had a nice chat while preparing all the dishes😊 This is a great start to learning about Vietnamese cuisine.😋 I hope to return to Vietnam someday so I can learn to prepare more dishes with Miss Hoa. We finished the class with a delicious homemade lunch consisting of: Vietnamese spring rolls, Chicken Pho soup, & lemongrass chicken. Thanks Miss Hoa , we will keep touch on instagram

Fantastic experience and a must do

Donna_D, Sept 2025

This is a must-do when visiting Ho Chi Minh! We are a multi-generational family currently living in HCMC and I wanted something fun and educational to do with my grandchildren aged 9 & 11. We really enjoy Vietnamese food and love to cook. Hoa, the host and Nhu, assistant both speak English very well and are a wealth of knowledge. They really do teach you homestyle Vietnamese cooking. We made sizzling pancakes from scratch including a lesson on how to make coconut milk from shredded coconut. No canned for Hoa! We made Pho Ga starting with sautéing the aromatics and boiling chicken. And we made a grilled pork dish with noodles. My grandson loved pounding the pork to tenderize it. This is a kid friendly place and she as well offers classes making beautiful traditional Vietnamese crafts. When we finished cooking we all sat together to converse and enjoy our dishes. This is a must do, again, I say this because it is true!

Highlight of My Trip

Brittany_B, Sept 2025

I had the most lovely time with Hoa at her house! She was beyond kind and patient with me and explained every step in detail. I enjoyed this experience so much - she went above and beyond by giving me a gift, taking videos/photos, and emailing me all the recipes. I would highly recommend to groups or solo travellers who are looking for a fun experience to learn North and South cooking styles!
