I chose to make bún chà. It was a one-on-one class as I was the only client /guest. Chef Simon (Viet name Tín) was engaging and I learned he had culinary training in Paris and spoke some French which I was happy to practice my French speaking skills with him. We had a tri-lingual dialogue in English, French and Vietnamese! The bun cha turned out great - it was my 3rd time eating bun cha in 3 days and honestly the best I’d had. The villa where the classes are conducted is lovely and the ladies who work there are very nice. The only issue was I did have some difficulty finding the place as it’s located in pedestrian alleyway and the Google address for Rose Kitchen I provided to rideshare app led us a bit astray.

Good class. Instructor Trevor demystified Pho. He provided just the right amount of information and was a great instructor.

Cute hidden villa and cooking school run by a family. Very enthusiastic and welcoming. Fun making banh xeo!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for visiting our little villa! We’re glad the family vibe and everyone’s enthusiasm made you feel welcome. And yes — bánh xèo is always a blast to flip! 🥞
Hope your time in Hanoi continues to be full of tasty surprises!

It's a very engaging, educational and fun experience. Simon was very professional, knowledgeable and interactive.
He took us all to the market to buy the required ingredients for our meal...this is after we all (as a group) decided on the menu we wanted. Along the way, he taught us how to greet, ask for the price and to say thanks. He also gave us a brief history about Vietnam.
Everyone participated in making the meal and everything.
It was a great experience.
As a tourist, you are not only learning to cook the meal, but also a story behind it.
Great job Simon!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for joining our class and for your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed the mix of culture, language, and cooking — that’s exactly what Simon loves sharing with guests. He’ll be so happy to know you appreciated his stories and teaching. We hope to welcome you back for another fun and flavorful experience in Hanoi!
