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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    Fun, easy Korean cooking

    Ashley_S, May 2026
    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.

    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.

    Amazing Experience

    Mumtu_L, Apr 2026
    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

    Paul_E, Mar 2026
    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

    Great experience. Did the class with 4 young adult children. Food was all prepped with was nice as it allowed us to focus on cooking. Menu items were perfect for our kids as they will be able to make all of the items. My kids are 1/2 Korean and it’s all foods that they’ve eaten but never made. It’s a lot of food so come hungry and they have everything to pack your leftovers. Highly recommend.

    Great instructor

    Yasmeen_A, Jan 2026
    We are from Kuwait. My Korean cooking class was an unforgettable 10/10 experience from start to finish. The instructor was patient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining every step clearly while encouraging us to taste, adjust, and experiment. I learned how to prepare authentic dishes using fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and traditional techniques. The atmosphere was warm and interactive, making everyone feel confident in the kitchen. Each recipe felt achievable yet exciting. I left inspired, satisfied, and proud of what I created. It was unforgettable. I would happily do it again.
