Grace and Stephen are amazing hosts — kind, warm, and so knowledgeable about Korean cuisine. We cooked eight dishes together and the bulgogi and japchae were standouts. I loved how the instructor explained the flavors and seasonings behind each dish, not just the steps. The space is inviting and the whole vibe is just really fun. Highly recommend!

Korean cooking class that I highly recommend

Marianne_L, Jul 2026

We learned to make 8 dishes. Before this activity, Korean dishes seems overly complicated to make. But this experience taught us the basics/fundamentals of korean cuisine. There was no wrong or right, you can make the food to your preference. They also provided korean drinks to pair with the food. Grace and Stephen were really nice and accommodating. They made the experience more enjoyable. No prior cooking experience required! Even one of our friends who doesn’t cook, was able to easily follow. Overall, I highly recommend this activity if you love trying out local cuisine and indulge yourself in the korean culture.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Marianne, Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our class helped demystify Korean cuisine for you. Our main goal is always to show that Korean cooking doesn't have to be overly complicated, and that the best flavor is simply the one tailored to your own personal preference! It's fantastic to hear that even your friend who doesn't usually cook found the steps easy to follow and enjoyed the experience. We firmly believe that anyone can cook delicious food with just a few basic fundamentals. We were incredibly happy to host you and your friends. Your high recommendation means the world to us as we love sharing our local cuisine and culture with amazing guests like you. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope you continue to cook these 8 dishes back home! You are always welcome back to our kitchen. Warmest regards, Grace / Cooking Delight Seoul

The highlight of our trip!

Wendy_W, Jun 2026

This was the highlight of our trip. Chef Grace and Manager Stephen were so warm and genuine. Chef Grace explained the cooking of the dishes so well that it made it seem easy. We will definitely be making these dishes at home. We had a group of 4 adults and 4 kids but she made sure to spend time with all of us and make sure we were comfortable making our dishes and even allowed us to personalize them to our liking. It felt like a home kitchen and they had a way of making us all feel so comfortable that it felt like family. I highly recommend this amazing experience with Chef Grace and manager Stephen!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for making us a highlight of your trip! It truly felt like welcoming family into our kitchen, and we absolutely loved hosting your wonderful group of adults and kids. Chef Grace was delighted to hear that you felt comfortable personalizing the dishes—seeing everyone put their own touch on the food is our favorite part. We are so proud of you all and can't wait for you to recreate these dishes back home! Thank you for your warm words and recommendation. You are always welcome back in our kitchen whenever you visit Seoul again! Warmest regards, Cooking Delight Seoul

Take this class, you won’t regret it!

AnaMaria_C, May 2026

This experience is a hidden gem and a must when visiting Seoul. We had a wonderful and memorable cooking experience at Cooking Delight with Grace and Stephen. We prepared 8 authentic dishes, and it was very much a hands-on experience. Grace provided a detailed description and history of the recipes and the ingredients. She explained why you use different ingredients as well as possible ingredient variations if you want more savory, sweet, or salty food. Grace first demonstrated how to make each recipe, and then she assisted us where needed when we cooked ours. The recipes were delicious and ones that we can make at home. We made enough for dinner, and we had plenty to take with us. Grace and Stephen were friendly and personable and provided an experience that made our visit to Seoul special. We can’t wait to make the dishes when we get back home!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Ana, We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed review. It was a delight to host you in our sunny kitchen! We’re glad you enjoyed the demonstration and found the recipes practical enough to recreate in your own kitchen. Thank you for recommending us as a 'hidden gem' in Seoul. We wish you all the best and hope you continue your Korean culinary journey back home! Thanks a million!

Grace and Stephen are...

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Dorian, Thank you a million for your kind words! We also hope you enjoyed the leftovers you took home yesterday as much as the meal at the studio. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the bulgogi and japchae. Grace takes great pride in sharing the ‘why’ behind Korean flavors, so we’re glad that part resonated with you. It was a pleasure having you in our studio, and we hope these recipes bring a taste of Korea to your home. Hope to see you again!

Delightful Cooking in Seoul!

Chad_L, Apr 2026

Great time cooking with Grace and Stephen! They were very gracious and didn't mind that we got there a bit late due a bit of issue we had on the subway. Great food and.we learned lots about Korean food and culture!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Chad, Thank you for the lovely review! We had a great time cooking with you as well. No worries at all about the delay. We're just glad we could share a wonderful meal and Korean culture together. We hope to welcome you back to our studio someday!

Incredible Cooking Class in Seoul (Itaewon)

Julie_B, Mar 2026

A huge thank you to my wonderful hosts, Grace and Steven at Cooking Delight Seoul who created such a warm, fun, and engaging environment from the moment I arrived. Grace provided an overview of the Korean ingredients and products to use when making these dishes at home—which made the entire experience feel approachable and authentic, not intimidating. I ended up cooking eight incredible dishes, each one more delicious than the last, and I walked away feeling like I could actually recreate them in my own kitchen. The class struck the perfect balance of hands-on learning, cultural insight, and just having a great time. They even surprised me with the most adorable tote bag to take home—such a thoughtful touch! Truly an amazing value for the experience. If you’re visiting Itaewon and want something memorable, interactive, and genuinely special, I can’t recommend this enough. Already dreaming about making these dishes again!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure having you at Cooking Delight Seoul. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed making all eight dishes and feel confident enough to recreate them at home—that is exactly our goal! We're also glad the little tote bag surprise brought a smile to your face. We can't wait to see your home-cooked Korean feast! Hope to see you again next time you're in Itaewon. Thank you again.

True gem of an experience at the heart of Itaewon, Seoul

Juliana_J, Mar 2026

This was an amazing experience with a very friendly instructor, Grace, who spoke eloquently and communicated well with me throughout the class, all in English. I especially loved that Cooking Delight Seoul was conveniently located in Itaewon so I could have some fun after the class, during the evening where bars and foreigner friendly Korean nightlife would open nearby. So close to the train station and right in front of the bus station so transportation was no hassle! I am amazed at the fact that I was able to make 8 delicious Korean dishes and the results were very photo-worthy. I felt like a true Korean chef! Thank you to Grace and Stephen for being so accommodating and making this an outstanding experience for me. I went to the class solo but never felt left out on anything thanks to their friendliness and hospitality. I even want to bring my friends and family here sometime.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Juliana, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled that you felt like a "true Korean chef" after making those eight dishes—you certainly looked the part! Grace was so happy to hear that her English instructions made the class even more enjoyable for you. We’re also glad you could take advantage of our prime location in Itaewon, where unique vibes come alive to enjoy the nightlife after class! It’s our goal to make every guest, especially those coming solo, feel like they’re cooking with friends. We can’t wait to welcome you back with your friends and family next time! Thanks a million!
