Was a great experience for our family! - Chef Hung (Pickle) was a great host and teacher. Hanoi in general was a bit of a challenge for a family with small kids - we had a 7, 5 and 2 year old with us - but this class was a success because of how Mister Pickle accommodated us and went out of his way to make our kids feel included. The food we helped make and enjoyed at the end was great, but the tour of the market stood out as an experience for our group. So many fantastic sights, sounds and smells you only get with a local chef who knows his way around the various stalls.

Cooking class in Hanoi - My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. We often try to take a cooking class in many of the places we travel to. Chef Pickle was amazing. He really has a passion for food, for teaching, and for advertising his great Vietnamese cuisine. The menu is delicious, the kitchen is super comfortable, well illuminated and ventilated. The restaurant staff is very efficient. Plating is amazing, really highlights the great taste of each one of the dishes. The market tour is a plus. Not onky the market is hige and full of exciting and exotic products but chef Pickle knows his way around with every vendor. He even lets you try many of the dishes at the street stalls. We would definitely recommend it!

Great! - The cooking class was great! Chef Piekle has guided us to cook 4 Vietnamese specialties and has answered many questions. It was a lot of fun. In between we went shopping at the market and tried snacks. The food was delicious! We recommend the course 100% because it was a great experience in Hanoi.

A unique culinary experience in the heart of Hanoi and Vietnamese gastronomy - I had the chance to spend an incredible afternoon with Mango, a talented young Vietnamese chef. I recommend this experience in the heart of Hanoi for its immersive (visiting and buying ingredients in local markets) and authentic (cooking different typical and delicious dishes). We come out with a lot of cooking tricks and a very good compression of the basics of Vietnamese gastronomy and flavors. I recommend without hesitation!

Great foodie experience - Mango was a great chef and guide during our experience in Hanoi. She took us to the market where we got a chance to shop for local produce and enjoy among being and sticky rice dessert from one of her aunties stalls. In the class we made traditional Vietnamese crispy pancakes, spring rolls, banana flower salad and pork/shrimp rolls. It was a great hands-on experience and Mango was terrific at helping us all prepare excellent food

Fantastic intro to Northern Vietnamese cuisine - A fantastic introduction to delicious Northern Vietnamese cuisine! Chef Pickle first gave us a tour of the morning market (and fed us delicious fruits and local street food) before heading back to the restaurant to prepare lunch. We made four different local dishes, each more delicious than the last. Most of all, we had a blast because Chef Pickle made the experience memorable and fun. Highly recommend for food lovers!

Chef Pickle is a rock star - Reasons to take the class: Chef Pickle knows market vendors, you sample food and learn how to shop. He trained in Japan, China, and India. It’s fun!
