Top Ho Chi Minh City Cooking Classes

This small-group food tour was easily the absolute highlight of our entire trip! If you want to experience the authentic culinary heartbeat of the city without feeling like a regular tourist, do not hesitate to book this experience. We had the absolute pleased of being guided through many districts to experience the wonders of Vietnamese delights with Peter, Will and Ricky. Their service was phenomenal!!!

"My wife and I had a fantastic experience on our walking food tour with Anna. From the moment we started, her energy and enthusiasm for Vietnamese street food were infectious. She did a wonderful job introducing us to the local flavors and culture. We are so happy we hired her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic culinary adventure!"

The experience overall was lovely and I truly enjoyed the class and the instructor. The farm setting was beautiful and the cooking itself was a highlight of my trip. However, I wanted to provide feedback on a few aspects that would be especially important for solo travelers. First, I was the only participant in the class. While the one-on-one experience was still enjoyable, I had expected a small group setting and would have appreciated knowing this in advance so I could make an informed decision. It would be very helpful if there were some type of visibility or participant count available at booking so guests can better understand whether the experience will be private or group-based. Second, the return transportation could be improved. At the end of the class, I was placed in a Grab (Uber-type) ride for a 90-minute trip back to the city, but it was arranged on my behalf, so I did not have access to tracking or driver details through the app. As a solo traveler in a rural area, this created a moment of discomfort due to the lack of visibility and communication. I would suggest that future guests be informed if a class is private and that return transportation either be booked directly through the guest’s own app or that clear driver and tracking details be provided in advance so guests can feel fully comfortable and secure.

This was a great experience. We had never heard of egg coffee before coming to Vietnam, and this experience enabled us to learn more about the history of how this drink came to be. The fact we got to make this ourselves was fantastic, and is definitely something we shall be recreating at home!

Paige was absolutely delightful, and I got to see so much more of the city because of her and this tour. I really enjoyed my time on this tour, although I noticed that the spots we went seemed to be the same ones as all the other food tours. I’m not a big foodie to begin with, but Paige made everything fun, easy, and interesting. I would recommend!

We had a great experience with this cooking class. Levi was an awesome guide through the market sharing his insights, and we had the chance to taste and smell some unique fruits, veg, spices and coffee. He was a good teacher as well, as he showed us how to make 3 unique dishes, and we got to eat it!!!! Bring your appetite, you make a lot of food! So fun, I would definitely recommend it. Thanks Levi for a great experience!

I can’t say enough good things about this cooking class! It was an incredible experience — 100% hands-on from start to finish. We cooked and then enjoyed a phenomenal meal with heaps of delicious food, and had such fun cooking in the garden with Thao (I hope I spelled that right!). Thao was a wonderful host and instructor — passionate, knowledgeable, and eager to share her love of Vietnamese cooking. We’d go again tomorrow if we could and have absolutely no reservations about highly recommending Thao’s cooking class to everyone!

Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our coffee experience with Quan. We liked the coffees so much that we bought the coffee and Phinn to make at home. Everything was reasonably priced. The instructions they give you are excellent. The experience is very hands on, you get to do everything!
