Hanoi Apron Up Cooking Class

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our market and cooking experience with Hazel at Apron Up. It was a delight to learn not only how our favorite Vietnamese dishes are traditionally made but also the little stories that accompany them. A must try when in Hanoi.

Incredibly worthwhile to learn to cook 5 Vietnamese dishes! The small class size allowed each participant to contribute and be fully involved. Huge thanks to the instructor for the detailed explanations and demonstrations of the ingredients. Immensely grateful and highly recommend! 👍👍 The five of us were able to complete 5 dinner dishes together. Hard to believe they were as delicious as what you get at local restaurants! We made pho with beef broth, spring rolls, egg coffee, and other Vietnamese delicacies – unbelievably as tasty as what you find in small shops. Finally, we received certificates and Vietnamese recipes. Many thanks to the center's professional instructor and staff for preparing the equipment 🙏🙏. We are extremely satisfied and happy! 🥳

This was a fantastic cooking class, and we had so much fun! Vy is a lovely and kind young woman, and she was incredibly patient. The whole class was filled with laughter, and we ended up making some truly delicious food. It was a very nice experience, and Vy is so nice and kind. We're so happy and glad to learn about traditional food!

This was such a great class. It didn’t even feel like “learning”, it felt like old friends catching up despite us meeting for the very first time. Lynn (our instructor) was very friendly and made sure everyone had something to do. She made the class fun and engaging. I enjoyed every moment.

Finally, I was able to learn how to cook some Vietnamese dishes that I love. Hayley is our teacher. She is very patient and answers our questions. This class is recommended if you really want to learn how to cook their dish. Thank you, Hayley. Recommended.👍👍👍

Truly enjoyed this class! Kim, the teacher, was highly knowledgeable about the produce when we were buying ingredients in the market. She also made sure that everyone in the group could follow the cooking procedures and had something to contribute as we went through each step. The pace of the class was also good and we ended up with delicious food ❤️

this tour and cooking class was . Hazel was our guide and chef. She was amazing so there’s so many techniques. I think I could be a professional Vietnamese chef ha ha ha ha would highly recommend for a good afternoon.

We had a wonderful time making the 5 traditional Vietnamese dishes. the teacher chef was excellent and spoke perfect English. I highly recommend this cooking class. The dishes were simple to make. A great activity for families!

Had a fantastic experience learning Vietnamese cooking with Hailey. She was warm, patient, and clearly passionate about sharing authentic Vietnamese cuisine — not just the tourist-friendly version, but real techniques and flavors. I came away with a much deeper appreciation for how Vietnamese dishes are actually made. The class felt hands-on and personal rather than rushed, and Hailey took the time to explain the “why” behind each step, which made a huge difference. Would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants a genuine taste of Vietnamese culinary culture, not just a quick tourist activity. Thanks Hailey for such a memorable class!

Thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. loved that all produced was purchased that day from local market. V was an amazing teacher - very knowledgeable. The recipes were easy to follow.
