    Great experience. I wasn't sure about booking it but I had fun. The Chef/Host made it better and entertaining. Which made the difference for me because I am a Solo Traveler. The Ladies at the class were great as well. Definitely recommend.

    Really good experience. The chef is excellent, and all the team . I really learn and understand better Tai food.

    Do not buy!

    Did not find the class location and posted phone #not a viable/working number per operator. Walked blocks in 100 degree heat & asked other businesses in area if they knew of the cooking school, none did. Scam!

    Excellent experience

    Artsiom_R, Dec 2022
    Thai cuisine, though familiar to everyone, can be quite tricky in terms of the ingredients and measurements. VJ was able to perfectly guide us through. The market tour was also fun, but if you not really new to the South East Asian market - you can skip this part.

    Highly recommended, fantastic experience

    Brent_S, Aug 2022
    We had a wonderful experience. We learned a lot on the market tour and the cooking class was great. The recipes are amazing and was better than most of the restaurant food we ate.
