Olivia was amazing. This is one of my favorite things I did in Seoul. We made 7 different dishes and had so much food leftover it was my lunch and dinner! Some of the best food I had on my trip as well. The school is so organized and clean. I would absolutely go back and 10/10 recommend.

We were taught to cook 7 dishes in total. Our teacher was incredibly friendly and did a great job explaining everything. She was great at monitoring our progress and giving tips. They were also very accommodating for dietary restrictions. The location was convenient and the kitchen was very nice.

    The cooking class was excellent. We made an array of local dishes which all turned out well and were delicious. Our instructor, Olivia, was friendly and clear, providing guidance to ensure our success. We left feeling full and satisfied, and appreciated the cookbook that was provided as a souvenir. We were also given a tatami mat to make sushi at home and a tote bag. Our expectations were exceeded. We highly recommend this cooking class.

    A private feast — seven courses with a fine-dining pro!

    bkckauai, Jul 2026
    This class exceeded all my expectations. I turned out to be the only attendee for the Sunday morning session, and instead of canceling, they ran it as a private one-on-one lesson — what a treat! Sharon, the instructor, was personable, patient, and explained every step clearly. She's worked in fine dining restaurants, so you're truly learning from a professional. We made an incredible SEVEN courses: Korean-style gimbap (with sesame oil rice instead of vinegar), crispy kimchi pancake, zucchini and meat pancakes, bibimbap, bulgogi (with a great tip on using sugar for caramelizing), japchae, and a dessert of vanilla ice cream with fried rice cake stuffed with sweet red bean. The portions were so generous I got three full meals out of everything we made. More importantly, I left with the skills and confidence to do serious Korean home cooking on my own. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to go beyond restaurant Korean food and actually learn the craft!

    This was a top-notch, amazing, and rewarding experience! We learned so much in such a pleasant and professional environment! Sharon was engaging, personable, and an excellent instructor. This event was totally worth the price and we highly, highly recommend it. The only caveat would be to ARRIVE HUNGRY, so that you can enjoy the delicious food that you prepare!

    Monica_S, Jul 2026
    I love Korean food and have tried to cook it myself, but it never turns out right. Take this class to learn the tips and tricks to making your favorite dishes (bulgogi, japchae, pajeon, and kimbap). Such a fun time, and the food was great.

    Fun afternoon taking a Korean cooking class at Seoul Cooking Club! Seven courses in 2.5 hours. Family style meal with group at the end, with takeout boxes to take leftovers home, too. Delicious dessert made by our chef/teacher, Sharon. Class catered to dietary needs, ingredients were prepped, and dishes, tools, and techniques explained with great care. A tote bag and cookbook were included, too. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Seoul! ♥️🇰🇷👩‍🍳

    Best Cooking Class

    Dana_S, May 2026
    Absolutely great cooking class. I’ve done cooking classes in Tokyo, Singapore, and Paris and this was by far my favorite. It was so efficient. All the ingredients are pre organized. Each person makes their own dishes so it is very hands on for everyone. We made SO many dishes in a short amount of time — and it was a great variety of food. Sally was an amazing instructor— fun, friendly and supportive. When we arrived we were immediately served some yummy iced tea. Then we were quickly shown to our cooking stations. We also had a bottle of water waiting for us there. We started off making some kimchi pancakes and ate those fresh out of the pan. Then we made a variety of other foods. Once done with all the cooking, we sat down to eat all of our food — which was more than we could possibly finish. They had to-go containers if you wanted to take the rest with you. They gave everyone a booklet with the recipes and a little tote bag — which we used to carry home our leftovers. If you have any interest in food this is a fun way to explore what goes into Korean cooking.

    A Wonderful Cooking Experience!

    Kory_L, Apr 2026
    A wonderful experience! Sharon and her team explained, demonstrated, then assisted us on cooking a number of delicious Korean dishes. She added interesting cultural and historical facts too. No cooking experience was necessary as she helped those that needed it. I appreciated the ingredients were initially prepped and ready so we could focus on mixing, marinating and cooking. Thank you Sharon and team for an enjoyable experience!

    An excellent fun and informative activity

    RE_B, Apr 2026
    Very professional kitchen and excellent tutor whose English was perfect. Everything was superbly prepared for our group - there were 7 people from different backgrounds. We all had a work station with all of the ingredients needed and we were taught to make 7 dishes which we then ate! Also got a cookbook with all of the recipes in it to take away. I would highly recommend this as an introduction to Korean cooking and culture.

    This was one of the best parts of our trip to Korea. Being vegetarian and gluten free, it was hard getting to try all the authentic Korea food in the streets. The lovely crew were super lovely and accommodating to my dietary needs and I was able to make all 7 dishes no issue. Super grateful for their hospitality <3

    The host and assistant were as much fun as was the cooking. And fun! We made several dishes, during which time the group received easily-to-follow instructions, we were also given a lesson in Korean culture as relates to family and food traditions. When we come back, we’ll attend again.

    Authentic food with well rounded Chef Sharon. Highly organized. Taking the mystery out of Korean dishes. Fresh ingredients. Chef Sharon was handy with the substitution in case of allergies. So personable. Well stocked ingredients. Worth every penny. Great way to spend the afternoon. We made 7 different dishes plus dessert. Had two special drinks to include brown rice tea, and cinnamon punch. Reasonably priced for what you get. You even get to take home a cookbook and souvenir bag.

    We ended up having a personal cooking class. My *9y/o and I had a wonderful time with Olivia. She was knowledgeable patient and kind. It felt like family, relaxed caring, well prepared with excellent ingredients! My son said it’s been his favorite part of the trip. *Basic knife and sautée skills/kitchen safety needed for safe kid participation I would recommend it to anyone wanting to take part of their Korea trip home with them
