A Taste of Vietnam - best experience of our trip - We hand an amazing experience with Chef Thành!
He and his wife were super friendly and due to the private class, they individualized the menu for each one of us (vegetarian, just meat, just fish etc.)
We hat so much fun learning and watching him teach us and he really does the job with all his heart.
He has a lot of knowledge and answered all our questions not just regarding the cooking, but also the Vietnamese culture.
We made spring rolls, mango salad, sweet-sour sauce and traditional pho and everything was delicious - definitely the best food we’ve had in Vietnam!
We really recommend the class, it’s been one of our highlights in the country and totally worth doing.
Thanks Chef for the great time!

Wonderful cooking class - We were attending this cooking class as a family with our 5 years old daughter and even she was really excited. The class was very interesting and we learned a lot! Our chef and his whole family were friendly and helpful, he showed and explained us every step of the process and we could also take part and cooked all together. Afterwards we also ate all the cooked food and it was delicious and really a lot ☺️
We would definitely do it again and recommend to everyone staying in Hoi An.
By the way, it was the first day after Chinese Ney Year and although a lot of places were closed this one was not and we could enjoy such a fun experience together.

Class Event with Class Chef Thanh - We booked the tour with market shopping herb garden and cooking together at 30 $/person and have thus fully gotten our "costs".
Thành Chef picked us up by bike for joint market shopping and the show could begin. Thanh felt he knew 90% of the marquees and offered us a unique idea of the Vietnamese way of talking between customer and seller. Afterwards we continued to the herb garden. This was, to our understanding, operated as a kind of organically operated garden. Fertilisation is carried out exclusively with cow manure and compost. The self-resting old gardener with his friendly (Buddha?) Smile on his face and his Garden of Eden will probably not get out of our heads anytime soon.
The subsequent cooking together left nothing to be desired. Thungh's instructions in English supplemented with a lot of gestures and facial expressions were easy to understand . Thanks to good preparation we were able to enjoy the fantastic 3-course menu after about 1 hour with a good bottle of wine.
Conclusion: unique experience of Vietnamese culture and culinary art!

Best Nigh in Hoi An - Chef Thanh was so wonderful and an amazing cook! We had our best meal in Vietnam here. We made sweet and sour sauce, spring rolls (amazingly delicious), mango salad, and chicken pho. He waited patiently for us as we were running late from a tailor appointment and still managed to fit everything in. He gave us beer and some delicious sticky rice wine and told us stories of his life and the things he loves to cook. It was great getting to spend time with him and hopefully we can visit again in the future! We also loved meeting his dogs Jimmy, Lucky, and Ben they were adorable. Highly recommend 10/10.

Great food and great company - Chef Thanh provides a great cooking class experience. He is very patient and knowledgeable. The class is fun and well paced. Lots going on but so much to learn about how to make fresh and super tasty Vietnamese food. Class sizes are kept small and you get to know Chef Thanh as you prepare food. Definitely recommended.

Have to do this when in hoi an - The experience with chef Thanh was unforgettable and will definitely return in the future. We made delicious food whilst also feeling extremely welcomed and at home. We also cooked a bbq together which was probably the nicest bbq I’ve ever had. Could not recommend this enough.

Well worth it! - Fantastic cooking class!! We learnt to cook food we can recreate at home with recipes supplied. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, even though we were running late. My teenage kids also got into the class. It was a lovely place to relax and eat some great food. I highly recommend it.

Great experience - Nice experience, enjoyed the dishes made. Chef professional and very welcoming.
Very clean environment and lots of effort made
Could have been improved with more cooking time - it was more preparation than actual cooking. Would be nice to see recipes with less sugar.
