Jewel was lovely and her English very good. We made 5 dishes and went to the market where we picked out some different fruits to try. The cooking class was a lot of fun and loved learning new dishes to make. The food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Me and my partner had the best time with our guide Cya. She was welcoming and did a fantastic job of including our whole group in every activity alongside fantastic conversation. The food we made was absolutely delicious and we even got to pick our own fruit for desert from a local market before the class and she taught us how best to identify good quality fruit. 10/10 absolutely would recommend. So far the highlight of my trip to Hanoi

Such an amazing experience, it ended up just being myself but the class still went ahead. Anne was incredible and so nice, easy to talk to and walked me through every step, it felt like I was just spending a day with one of my friends. Great experience and such yummy food, would definitely reccomend and do it again! Thank you Anne!

Amazing day at Maya Kitchen. Our instructor Cya was so good and made sure we had a great time. The food was excellent and I especially enjoyed the egg coffee. I would recommend this activity to anyone coming to Hanoi who wants to learn about some traditional foods. A++

We had such a great time learning so much about Vietnamese cuisine and culture! Lucy was an incredible guide who was so sweet and chatty, and stepped in at the last minute as our original cooking instructor was unfortunately in an accident. Would definitely recommend doing this class! It was fun to head to the market and choose what fruits we wanted to try for dessert.
