Great experience - We had a lovely time with Collin. He was a great guide in showing us Vietnamese cooking and was a great storyteller in sharing with us the history of the foods we made. I also left behind some things in the kitchen and he dropped them off back at my accommodation because it was such a hot day and he insisted on bringing it to me so I didn’t have to walk, absolutely amazing guy.

A five-star experience - Rose Kitchen did a superb job in teaching the class. Maxie, she really did well in teaching our group. She instructed us clearly and i s really approachable to answer all our inquiries. Also, the trip to the market is really informative and everyone in the class enjoyed it. The class is definitely a must do when visiting Hanoi.

Best cooking class - Amazing experience with Collin (Chinh). He was so pleasant & taught so well. And he spoke English so well, it was great for us to understand. Would definitely recommend this class especially if you get Collin as your instructor. He helped us cook up a delicious beef pho.
