The best starter Homecooking Class in vietnam - She gave us a warm welcome with Icecold homemade Lemongrass tea Her cooking class was very interesting & easy to learn, and we had a nice chat while preparing all the dishes😊 This is a great start to learning about Vietnamese cuisine.😋 I hope to return to Vietnam someday so I can learn to prepare more dishes with Miss Hoa. We finished the class with a delicious homemade lunch consisting of: Vietnamese spring rolls, Chicken Pho soup, & lemongrass chicken. Thanks Miss Hoa , we will keep touch on instagram

Best cooking class in Sai Gon - Hoa was fantastic, I booked a private class and did 5 dishes instead of the usual 3 (paid extra for these of course), and she managed to get everything finished in 3.5hrs before I had to rush for my flight. So glad I booked with her, definitely recommend! The dishes we made were specifically Southern Vietnamese, and they were all so good!! They were hu tieu, com tam, bun thit nuong, thit kho trung, and che thai sau rieng

Fantastic experience and a must do - This is a must-do when visiting Ho Chi Minh! We are a multi-generational family currently living in HCMC and I wanted something fun and educational to do with my grandchildren aged 9 & 11. We really enjoy Vietnamese food and love to cook. Hoa, the host and Nhu, assistant both speak English very well and are a wealth of knowledge. They really do teach you homestyle Vietnamese cooking. We made sizzling pancakes from scratch including a lesson on how to make coconut milk from shredded coconut. No canned for Hoa! We made Pho Ga starting with sautéing the aromatics and boiling chicken. And we made a grilled pork dish with noodles. My grandson loved pounding the pork to tenderize it. This is a kid friendly place and she as well offers classes making beautiful traditional Vietnamese crafts. When we finished cooking we all sat together to converse and enjoy our dishes. This is a must do, again, I say this because it is true!

Highlight of My Trip - I had the most lovely time with Hoa at her house! She was beyond kind and patient with me and explained every step in detail. I enjoyed this experience so much - she went above and beyond by giving me a gift, taking videos/photos, and emailing me all the recipes. I would highly recommend to groups or solo travellers who are looking for a fun experience to learn North and South cooking styles!

10/10! - Absolutely amazing, Hoá is legendary and so sweet. The food was utterly amazing though - she tells you the backstory of the cuisine and how to eat it, how it's served, and the way the locals like to eat it. Highly recommend!!

Best Cooking Class - This was even better than expected. Hoa was informative, fun, and gave us step by step instructions that we can’t wait to try at home. I’d been looking forward to this cooking class and my husband enjoyed it so much more than he expected to. Highly recommend!

Super nice and super tasty - Had a really great time cooking with Hoa! I was traveling solo and had asked for vegetarian food, so we ended up scheduling a 1 on 1 class. Hoa was super nice and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend!
