Da Nang Cooking Class & Market Discovery

The cooking class is held at a private residence, with the local market less than 10 minutes walk away. We started with a market tour to pick up fresh, local ingredients before heading back for the cooking class. Lily, our instructor, was friendly and guided us through the food preparation and cooking step by step, while also sharing plenty of useful cooking tips along the way. It was a very hands-on experience, and we had lots of fun preparing and cooking a delicious feast for ourselves. A great way to experience local Vietnamese food and learn how to cook it at home!

this was a fun and useful class. firstly, it was great that 1 person can enroll (most require min. 2 people). the class started off going to the nearby wet market to pick up some ingredients for our dishes. back at the house, Ngan (our instructor) explained what dishes we would be making and what ingredients were used. by the end of the class, we made salted vietnamese coffee, beef pho, bun cha, mango salad and deep fried vietnamese spring rolls. all turned out authentic tasting and delicious. i love this experience and I’ve already made the spring rolls since returning home and it turned out really good😅 Ngan is a great instructor, very patient in teaching us how to prepare and cook the food. I highly recommend this class. oh…there’s the sweetest resident kitty there😊

It was a fun experience as we got to see their local markets, how they buy their groceries. We also asked about coffee and our guide went out of her way to help us. The cooking class itself was interesting. We exchanged ideas about cooking and life in Vietnam in general.

Starting with a stroll through the market, this is a hands-on cooking class where everyone works together to prepare five dishes. It wasn't a tourist-oriented setup designed for "Instagrammable" photos, but rather a warm, homey atmosphere, like visiting a Vietnamese family and learning to cook from a friendly local girl. The vibe was less like a strict culinary school for professionals and more about having fun learning to make authentic Vietnamese home cooking, so you could participate without feeling any pressure. Unlike some classes where you just "finish pre-prepared ingredients (like a 3-minute cooking show)," it was great that we truly made everything we were going to eat ourselves. There was also a strong emphasis on hygiene; the cutting boards and knives used for raw pork were thoroughly washed after each use, which was reassuring (the restrooms were also perfectly usable). While some countries have very strict cooking classes, I felt that this warm and relaxed atmosphere was a unique charm of Vietnam. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy local daily life while also having a substantial cooking experience.

went on a cooking class and found this on klook and they dont have minimum requirement for people who wants to join and its the best thing since I’m the only one in my family who wants this so this is suitable for me and BLUE is there to help me and guide me and she’s so friendly and they have this home vibe which is really good! thank you! instructor: blue #goodfood

We had a wonderful cooking lesson with Lily and Hei! It was so fun to see the fruits, vegetables and meats in the market, and they explained all the different choices to us. the cooking school was a short walk from the market. I couldn’t believe that we were able to cook pho, meatballs, mango salad and also spring rolls in just 3 1/2 hours. everything was delicious and we had extra food leftover that we took home. It was a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon in Da Nang! We were a group of 7 including a grandma and two college students. everyone loved it. expect lots of chopping!

One of the best ways to experience Vietnamese culture is to learn how to prepare their dishes and this gave us just that and more! Loved the part where our instructor, Blue, took us around the local market to buy the ingredients. Learned about the type of mango used particularly for salads, and different noodle types. Blue taught us to first make salt coffee (so we stay awake during class - clever and funny) then we started preparing the broth for the pho since it was the longest to make. My fave for this class is the Bun Cha! It’s a great experience and highly recommended for all visitors in Da Nang.

We had a great time there, It was an unforgettable experience.The entire process was in English and The girls English was absolutely good:) Everyone in our family loved the program. It was great that we learnt how the locals pick their ingredients for their food in the market. Our instructor had explained everything perfectly in details. They answered every question we asked.I am very glad we booked this program, it really worth to try it out :)

We had a great time with our tutor Lily. Despite we cannot join the wet market tour due to bad weather condition, we spent more time in the kitchen with Lily. Lily was very patient to our parents and made them laugh a lot. All the dishes tasted delicious and they are dishes that you can cook at home. We recommend this activity to everyone visiting Da Neng!

I had an excellent cooking class! I was the only one there, and I don't speak English, but the girl was wonderful. She explained everything through Google Translate. Since I was the only one in the morning, I asked to substitute some of the dishes. We made pho bo, bun cha, Vietnamese salted coffee, and egg coffee – everything was delicious and served with a smile. We went to the nearby market to buy ingredients and then went to cook! It was my best experience. I booked through the Klook app, which I highly recommend. I took a taxi there myself for 27,000 VND. They gave me a certificate and a recipe book! I highly recommend it to everyone.
