Amazing experience, Highly recommended thanks to Chef Park! - The experience was amazing. My friends and I think it was the highlight of our 12 days trip to Korea. Not only the easy to find location and the wonderful, chic and cosy 100 years old Hanok but the food we cooked made our time unforgettable. The person who did it all was Chef Park. He was very nice and welcoming, super professional and showed patience to our almost unskilled hands. 😊 His english was at a proffessional level and his explanations made everything seem very easy. He war ready to give answers not only in respect of the recepies but also to the history of the location and his way to becoming the skilled cook he is today. At the end we took lots of photos and he even offered to take pictures of me and my friends. I highly recommend the Seoul Royal cooking class and Chef Park Greetings from Germany and best regards, Alexandra Mare

HIGHLIGHT of our trip!! 1000% recommend!!! - AMAZING! Highlight of our trip and would 1000% recommend to anyone traveling to Seoul! Ricky was a fantastic teacher! Food was delicious, and we learned about history and culture too. I’m excited to make all of the dishes when I go back home. We did this activity with a group of friends, but I would do this again as a couple activity or with family.

A must-do in Seoul 😍 - An absolute must-do while in Seoul. The class is taught in a 100 year old Geisha residence that has been lovingly restored - the space is so beautiful. Ricky is a phenomenal teacher and chef. My sister in law and I were very excited to learn about Korean cuisine and how to prepare it. I have been to many host-led experiences and without a doubt this was the best class I have taken. It is a small, intimate class with plenty of attention. Ricky is a wonderful host and guides you every step of the way while giving historical significance of each dish. I hope you love the class as much as we did! ❤️

Excellent Practical Cooking experience in an unusual and beautiful Korean setting - We were looking for something authentic to do on a boiling hot August day in Seoul. Along with my older teens, we did a cookery course, something we have done in several cities across Europe and Asia and this was a great success. Entirely hands on in a scrupulously clean and beautiful Hanok setting (with great A/C!!) we had a really fantastic time with our teacher Ricky. The cooking was manageable and delicious to eat and we especially enjoyed learning about the history of Korean Cuisine and just chatting about everyday life in general. Highly recommended!

Fabulous evening! - I highly recommend this experience in Seoul. Ricky was a welcoming and knowledgeable host. He clearly knows and cares deeply about Korean cuisine and culture. He taught us how to make two appetizers, a main and two sides, each with an explanation behind the dish. Cooking itself was fun! The group was kept small and intimate. The space was very well thought out, everything down to the cooking stations, eating area, lighting area, music, and decor. This is more than a cooking class. It is a cultural experience. Don’t hesitate - come cook with Royal Seoul!

Easy to follow yet delicious outcome - I recently took this class. It was a great learning experience. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and made the class feel easy and approachable. The recipe was simple to follow, yet the final dish was absolutely delicious, something I’ll definitely make again at home. A great experience for any skill level! The place is hidden and may require some navigation if you are not familiar with the area. Plan to ahead a bit of earlier to locate the Hanok.
