This was an amazing cooking experience! We first got to do a short market tour! Then we made 4 delicious dishes (and there’s a large selection that you can mix and match if you’re with a group)! The class was super interactive, the hosts were so fun, and the space was large and allowed space for everyone to cook (Everyone got their own station to cook all 4 dishes)! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Siem Reap!

Amazing time, outstanding hospitality. But meant for beginners and not serious foodies or chefs. Kong and team kept the class interactive.

Loved our cooking experience. All the ingredients were fresh and the dishes turned out to be very delicious and efficiently made. Can’t wait to try out all the recipes back home. The intro the local market and gardening culture was a nice touch. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a nice intro the Cambodian food culture.

I’ve just come away from a wonderful afternoon, hosted by Sorya. I was picked up on time and then we when around a local food market and then on to the school. It was great that we were each able to choose what we wanted to cook from a menu with various choices. And we had a fun afternoon, learning, cooking, chatting and then eating our feast! There were only 4 of us in th class too, which I liked. I would thoroughly recommend!

King Kong is our master chef is really helpful and the step by step guide and showing where the stuff grow are good tips

Sorya and Bok Choy has been incredible and informative in the cooking class. Surprised how fast we were able to cook many dishes in a short amount of time. She was funny and answered all of our questions. If you like getting something out of your trip to take away with you, book this, you will learn a lot.
Kirsten_M, Jul 2026
It was amazing! Sorya was a fantastic guide that helped us make delicious food! Knew so much about the local food!
David_S, Jul 2026
Excellent trip. Picked up at hotel, brought to cooking school to choose our four dishes each. Walk around local market was very interesting - very local and no tourists. Cooking class was informative and very fun and relaxed. Hygiene was good. Food was really tasty. Cooking school will send us a lot of photos and recipes. Highly recommend.

What a fun way to learned how to cook while enjoying the fun-nature instructors personality and the delicious dishes you get to have at the end of the class. A must for your trip while here in Siem Reap.

This family-run cooking class was incredible! The staff were so friendly and incredibly patient with my 7-year-old daughter, making it a perfect family experience.
We loved that they support the community by cooking with fresh, local ingredients grown right on the premise. The food was delicious, the vibe was welcoming, and the mission is fantastic. Highly recommend!

Don’t think, just book… we left with grateful hearts and full bellies! What a pleasure it was to experience shopping for & cooking 8 different Khmer dishes. King Kung, Bok Choi & Chef Sivorn were a delight to spend time with and run an informative, well-paced & highly immersive experience. Their cooking area is well designed, clean, comfortable & well ventilated. The team can just as easy cater for large groups as they can for one person. I highly recommend this experience and would book again in a heartbeat! (Pickup & drop-off via comfy tuk tuk with Mr Zhong was on time with excellent communication)
Tips: food preferences can be catered for at time of booking & clean toilets are available on site.

Amazing class with King Kong he made it so special was very informative and the food was amazing thank you so much 🥰
Colin_L, Jun 2026
We had an excellent time. The cooking class was simple and we finished up and ate in less than three hours. All of the dishes are good and many were quite flavorful. We even made our own spice pastes for everything but the tom yum.
Every person got their own cooking station and got to cook every single dish they ate. You cook and eat four dishes each. So if there's more than one in your party, you can pick different dishes, share, and try more.
The class even came with hotel pickup by tuktuk.

Great experience starting from introduction to the herbs garden and preparation of authentic Cambodian dishes in local home. Hosts Sorya and Kong were fantastic and very helpful. Highly recommended.
Jack_M, Jun 2026
Fantastic cooking class. Sorya and all the staff were super accommodating and really made it a memorable experience.
Jeanette_R, Jun 2026
You get to choose which menu items you wish to cook. The host Sorya is very friendly & helpful on how to prep & cook your foid. Sorya & her assistant she cheekily names Bok Choy were amazing. I was the only customer but she was so very welcoming & happy to have me there. One paying customer is better than none she kept reassuring me. Tuk tuk pickup & collection if nearby, was included. A fabulous cooking experience which I highly recommend.

Fantastic cooking class! We had so much fun with our teacher King Kung! First we did a very interesting tour of the local market before heading back to cook our food. It was amazing to learn about all the different herbs and vegetables. The cooking class was brilliant, Kung was a super teacher! Everything we cooked under his guidance turned out delicious and I can't wait to try cook some of the meals back home in Ireland. We had all vegetterian options. 5 star experience from Kung and the team at Khmer Cooking. Thanks so much for all the fun!
Ethan_D, Jun 2026
Excellent cooking class. There’s a good selection of dishes for you to cook - and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, so the dishes end up being very tasty ! Sorya (our host) was an absolute legend. Pick up and drop off from your hostel is included as well
Frank_O, May 2026
Awesome experience, very fun. Visited a local market before going back to cook at the school. Educated on local ingredients and then on to cooking. The school staff were so nice and fun, really made the experience. Highly recommend.
Andrew_B, May 2026
Excellent and well-organized cooking class. King Kong and the entire team were fantastic and engaging! Wife and I have taken a lot of cooking classes and this was definitely one of the best ones we’ve done.
And the food was great too 😉
Melissa_T, May 2026
We had a lovely time at the cooking class! You get to pick your 4 items from the menu. We explored a local market and then had a great time making our lunch. The hosts were so kind and hotel pick up was right on time.

Authentic, great staff we really enjoyed the experience. Sivorn was a great cooking instructor and taught us very well

We had such a fantastic experience at the Khmer Cooking Class! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and enjoyable. Our instructor, Kong, was absolutely brilliant, patient, funny, knowledgeable, and made the whole class fun and engaging.
The day began with a warm welcome and clear guidance, and Kong walked us through each step with ease. We loved learning about the ingredients and preparing authentic dishes ourselves. The highlight was sitting down to enjoy the delicious 4-course meal we had cooked. Lots of vegetarian options too.
The class was hands-on, informative, and gave us a real appreciation for Cambodian cuisine. Hotel pickup and drop-off by tuk-tuk was a lovely touch, making the whole experience seamless.
Highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Siem Reap, Kong truly made it memorable!
Lizzie_B, May 2026
It was great! The food was lovely and they grow a lot on site and you are shown around r the gardens and they tell you how they use the different vegetables and herbs. The staff were beyond friendly, very funny and made our time here really memorable. I would 100% recommend! It’s a lot of food though so make sure you come hungry!!
Jane_M, May 2026
This was such a great experience. We toured a local market and (King) Kong explained the different items and gave us some insight into local lives. We then headed to the school, picked our dishes and got to work. Everything was explained clearly and Kong was so enthusiastic. Highly recommend!
Amelie_W, Apr 2026
The instructors aren’t just skilled chefs—they’re patient, joyful teachers who make every recipe feel achievable.
I’ve never felt so comfortable making mistakes in the kitchen, because here, every little mishap is met with a smile and a helpful tip.Kong，He is so nice and lovely guy, highly recommend!
PaulAdrian_P, Apr 2026
I love the experience. The cooking master Kong was really helpful. I was surprise that cooking khmer cuisine would that be easy.
Annie_P, Apr 2026
We had so much fun! Sivorn was a brilliant teacher and so lovely to chat to. I'd really recommend this to anyone
Seadon_P, Apr 2026
Sorya was fantastic and lots of fun. Her English is great and she explains everything and answers all questions. Kept it very hands on. Great work! Keep it up!
Sheryn_G, Apr 2026
Wonderful experience. Don’t worry about going alone, as you get to choose and cook your own dishes (starter, main, vegetable, dessert) and not have to eat what others pick. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.
