Learnt so much ! - Review for Chef Vu Cooking Class in Hanoi We had an amazing experience with Chef Vu! The class was intimate, with a small group of just eight people, which made it feel personal and interactive. Chef Vu was engaging, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting insights about Vietnamese cuisine. The highlights were definitely the crispy pancake, the zucchini flower spring rolls, and, of course, the classic pho—we learned new techniques that I can’t wait to try at home! It was very hands-on, and Chef Vu made sure everyone felt involved. Overall, an excellent way to immerse yourself in Hanoi’s food culture. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Chef Vu!!! - We decided to join Chef Vu's cooking class to learn about Vietnamese food since our knowledge of it was very much limited to pho and banh mi. We ended up learning about the herbs and spices that go with each dish and how to properly cook them. The trip to the market was really enjoyable, and Chef was always ready to explain anything about the ingredients when you asked. Great memories made at Cyclo Resto! Thanks, Chef!

A fun-filled cooking class in Vietnam - We learned to make four delicious Vietnamese dishes, and it was an incredible experience! The chef was fantastic—very thorough in their explanations, making it easy for even beginners to follow along. Each dish turned out wonderfully, and I was thrilled to see how everything came together. The flavors were amazing, and I left feeling not only satisfied but also proud of what I had created. This class was a joyful highlight of my trip. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Private vegan cooking class! - Our travel agent set us up with this cooking class so we actually had no idea we were being picked up on a bicycle kind of thing, but it was so fun!! Chef Vu made the experience really fun! We did a private class, so we had the place all to ourselves.(I’m sure we paid more than $46 USD per person, but not sure how much) The food was fantastic!! Omg, so good! And Chef Vu emails you the recipes too so you won’t forget how to make the delicious meals. Also we are vegan and they totally accommodated us and we bought ingredients for a vegan meal. We totally recommend Thai experience!

So much good food! - We had a great morning on this tour. Started early with a gentle Cyclo tour to Ben Thánh markets. We were then greeted by our host who took us shopping for the fresh ingredients we needed. So interesting. We then ambled through the neighbourhood to the cooking school. Chef Vu was an excellent teacher and we cooked up 4 delicious Vietnamese dishes. So good!!! Very filling! We loved it!!!
