Excellent course - Excellent cooking course with a very nice and professional chef. Visit the market with lots of explanations in English but also in French, return to the kitchen by scooter. 3 dishes explained, cooked and tasted. We really liked it, thank you Chef! Isabelle and Chantal

Highlight of our time in HCMC - I thoroughly recommend this activity. My wife and I had such a great time. Starting with an informative tour of the market amd culminating in an exquisite four course Vietnamese meal that we cooked ourselves! (Well, mostly...) Our chef, Quin (please excuse my spelling) was purely delightful. She was generous in sharing her knowledge in local cuisine, culture and just great fun. We will take our new culinary skills back to Australia and hopefully amaze our loved ones ❤️

Interesting and fun - We had a small group of three in total so it was terrific. Easy to move around the busy market. The cooking class was interesting, we all had our own board and knives, and own cooking station later. We made rice paper rolls, Vietnamese pancake, pho and pineapple for dessert. All delicious. It was good fun

Exceptional experience - I recently attended a cooking class with Mai Home at the Saigon Culinary Art Center, and it was an exceptional experience. Mai Home is an incredibly talented and passionate chef who made the entire class both educational and enjoyable. The hands-on approach allowed us to dive into the vibrant world of Vietnamese cuisine, and the recipes were not only delicious but also easy to replicate at home. The facilities were top-notch, and the staff provided excellent support throughout the class. This course is a must for anyone looking to deepen their culinary skills and understand the rich flavors of Vietnam. Highly recommended!

Great culinary teaching and amazing food - We had a private tour and was shown through the markets and then onto Mai Home. Here we learnt some tricks of the trade and how to respect the process and recipes. Best of all we tasted everything we helped prepare and it was delicious.

Authentic Vietnamese cooking experience with excellent Chef Quy - Great afternoon with the Saigon culinary Art Centre with Chef Quy. We were met at the markets right on time, had walk through with excellent explanation around various spices and food stalls. As there was only 2 of us we felt like a ViP experience and a car took us from market to cooking school. Class was easy and learnt some good tips and the history of food . Highly recommended as authentic Vietnamese cuisine experience in local setting
