Min was the hostess with the mostess. Engaging, thoughtful and the menu and guidance given was excellent. We try a Cookery class in most countries we visit and this ranked up amongst the best. Very clear instruction meant we had a beautiful Korean meal to enjoy and it just felt like I was cooking with a friend.
This was a holiday highlight amongst all of my family (wife and children 14/15) so I can't recommend it any more highly.

We loved our cooking experience with Min! We learned a lot about Korean food, culture, and the city of Busan! She even gave us tourist advice which was super helpful.

The cooking class that Min runs would definitely be the best we have ever attended. Min not only gives a wonderful introduction to Korean cooking style and dishes but also includes informative insights into the Korean culture and language. This is all done with warmth and enthusiasm. My husband and I greatly enjoyed learning so much from Min and the delicious recipes we dined upon.

We had a wonderful morning cooking. We loved meeting Min, she was super company and we had a lot of fun together and learnt a lot about Korean food and culture…thank you Min!

This was a fantastic experience. Min is kind, friendly and full of knowledge about Korean cooking. We had fun and learnt a lot. I did the class with my 12 and 16 year old girls. Min was great with them - they loved the class and want to try the recipes at home. This was a highlight of our time in Busan.

We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Korean cuisine- Min was a fantastic teacher and host, teaching us all about Korean food and much more. She effortlessly catered for our dietary needs and we all agreed our end meals were really delicious- we especially enjoyed the chive pancakes.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Min and her cooking class-- We learned so much about Korean culture and cuisine and we met some wonderful people in the class. Min was kind, informative, gracious and super cool. She was so kind to my daughter on her 24th birthday! It was a great day!!

Min was a welcoming host and created an atmosphere of warmth and fun as we learned how to cook three different Korean dishes while we learned about Korean culture, too. This was truly a delightful experience shared with others from all around the world. Highly recommend this cooking course when you come to Busan, South Korea.

Our cooking class with Min was one of the best experiences we had in Busan. I enjoyed learning how to cook the dishes and learning a little about Korean culture. Min is an excellent instructor and she even provided great recommendations around the city and truly cared that we enjoy our experiences in Busan. I highly recommend this experience!

A true pleasure to cook with Min and our whole family! She also provided gluten free meal option for me, and a vegetarian option for another guest.

Min is a warm and engaging host. Loved the way she wove in the history and cultural significance of each dish. Everything was delicious. This class was the highlight of our trip.

I cannot express enough how fun this class was! Min is the sweetest woman you’ll meet and she takes such great care of everyone. It’s a fun atmosphere and wonderful time cooking and eating. Highly highly recommend!!
Jasmine_P, Nov 2023
Great experience! A little bit of kitchen experience is helpful, but definitely not necessary. We enjoyed the learning experience and the food was good. We also learned about the history of the Korean apron, the different traditional desserts, and about the food dishes we made. Overall, well worth the trip to Marine City. Thanks Min!

We enjoined the class of Minkyung a lot. She is a very heartwarming person and we would totally recommend this cooking class :)
Eloise_Y, Sep 2023
Min was outstanding teacher. Not only did she teach us how to cook but the tradition behind it. She was very kind, sweet, and attentive to her students. We enjoyed the other students as they were from our hometown. We got a certificate and a surprise and the end. Can’t wait to go home and start cooking
Maria_R, May 2023
It was the best experience during our tour of Busan. Min was very detailed and the dishes we cooked (Bibimbap Set 3) were easy. We will definitely be cooking Bibimbap, Buchon Jeon and Seaweed Soup back in Sydney l.
Carl_P, May 2023
Impeccable hospitality and comfort. Great way of teaching and just fun experience. There is so much thought and work put into the class.
We really enjoyed our time, thank you Min :)
Vicka_D, Apr 2023
As a person who doesn't cook very much but likes to eat, it was an interesting and fun experience! Our teacher Min was very funny, helpful and supportive if someone didn't understand something.
It was fun doing the class with other people from around the world, I was so happy that I didn't burn anything in the end and I got a very tasty Korean meal!🖤
Cheryl_O, Nov 2022
Min was a lovely, informative, and fun instructor. Class was interactive and well paced. Introduced us to new flavors in Korean cooking. Food and desserts were delicious. Thank you for having us!
Matthew_G, Aug 2022
This was such a cool class. We all had so much fun! Minh went above and beyond. Lots of good information on culture, history of ingredients. The food was great. We have done cooking classes before and this was the best.
Aneliese_S, Jun 2022
This cooking class was a real highlight of our holiday - we would highly recommend! Min is an excellent and warm host - we are not experienced home cooks, and the class was adjusted appropriately so we came away with recipes and skills we could use again. It really felt like a once in a lifetime experience and was very good value for money. I just wish we were in Busan for longer as I’d love to try another class!
Manju_R, Nov 2019
A very enjoyable and fantastic experience. Korean cooking explained very well and hands on lesson gave us a feel of cooking Bibimbap and the sauce. The Korean style sit down lunch that followed was an amazing experience.
Response from Host, Nov 2019
It was my honour having you in my cooking class.
I hope had good memories in Korea.
Hope to join your class in London or Mumbai some day in the near future *^^*

Min is a warm person who loves what she does.
She wants to pass on. This moment spent with her was instructive and appetizing!
It makes you want to deepen the experience on Korean cuisine.

It was a pleasant culinary experience even though I am not a fan of cooking.
We learned how to cook Korean dishes. Min was very attentive, kind and professional and did not hesitate to give us advice.
We enjoyed our dishes which were delicious.
At the end of the certification, Min offered us a small pouch to choose from, it was a nice surprise.
Thank you for sharing this passion.
