Ho Chi Minh Cooking classes

Lovely day! Thank you to Spencer for being such an awesome guide. I had a really good time at the market and in the cooking class. Every dish was sooo delicious, and the host prepared everything for us, including cleaning up and preparing the ingredients. Overall, I had a great time and will come back soon haha.

It was a very good experience. The instructor was excellent at explaining the different dishes and how to cook them. I especially enjoyed the shaking beef; it was truly amazing. The menu was slightly different from the one posted online, so I assume the dessert changed. Everything else was the same. We cooked the pho, the shaking beef, and the spring rolls.

We had a fantastic morning at Saigon Cooking School and thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday cooking class. We learned how to make fresh spring rolls, chicken and green mango salad, and traditional Vietnamese pancakes, with plenty of hands-on experience throughout. Chef Oanh and her assistant, Hồng, were knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, sharing helpful cooking tips and insights into Vietnamese cuisine. The kitchen was spacious, spotless, and very well equipped, creating a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment. Best of all, we got to enjoy the delicious dishes we had prepared ourselves, followed by a bonus serving of homemade banana ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Thank you, Oanh and Hồng, for a wonderful experience, a fun morning, and some truly memorable food. We highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

I've lived in Vietnam before, and after taking this lesson, I finally understood why Vietnamese food is so delicious! I was fascinated by dishes made with fresh lemongrass and other ingredients. The lesson studio is very clean and lovely. It's also conveniently located next to the Park Hyatt hotel. I went to the market with the instructor and bought rice flour. I was surprised to learn that the flour blend varies depending on the dish. We went to the market around 8 AM, but it gets hot, so if you're not confident about the heat, it might be better to just join the lesson directly. The lesson is taught in English. I gave it 4 stars for cost-effectiveness because I felt it was a bit pricey compared to the average cost of Vietnamese food. However, considering I had the instructor for over three hours, went to the market, and got to cook and eat three different dishes plus a dessert, I believe it was an invaluable experience. I highly recommend it, especially to people from Japan!

We really enjoyed the cooking class and getting the recipes emailed to you after is great. learnt a lot, ate a lot and had a really great afternoon. Would recommend to do, looking forward to making the dishes at home for friends and family 😊 experience: instructor:

Fantastic day from start to finish. communication was quick and clear. Picked up and taken to the farm in comfort and met with some lovely traditional snacks. Bao was very knowledgeable and chatted to us explaining what we were seeing and the itinerary. We were made to feel so welcome and the experience was really hands on. The walkie talkie farm was well equipped for us and our 4 and 7 year olds. Would 100% recommend this experience, fantastic value for money. Thank you Bao and all at the farm.

Instructor Helen is so nice!!! a must try activity in Ho Chi Minh 🩵

Hoa was fantastic from the start. As soon as I booked the class, she reached out to check on the details of my group. She also went the extra mile to create a special session for us, as we were celebrating a bachelor party. She turned the lesson into a competition-style experience, which made it even more fun and engaging. We also really enjoyed exploring the local markets and appreciated the guidance she gave us throughout. Hoa is extremely fluent in English, which made it much easier for us to learn and understand everything. Her assistant, Tris, was also incredibly helpful and made all of us feel comfortable. Strongly recommend this class!
