Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by GJ Travel Viet Nam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese cooking classes usually build a meal around dashi, the kombu and bonito stock that sits under miso soup, simmered dishes and noodle broths, and then one or two headline dishes: rolled sushi or nigiri, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki, or a bento box. Wagashi classes make the seasonal sweets served with tea from sweet bean paste. Most classes run two to three hours in a home kitchen or a small studio, and vegetarian versions replace the bonito with a kombu-shiitake dashi. You eat what you make, and Japanese teachers are precise about technique.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in Hoi An, guide/chef, Welcome drink, All cooking ingredients and Vietnamese cooking class. It does not cover Personal expenses, Additional drinks and Tips and gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
Did the cooking class with my partner - great experience overall, food was amazing, our teacher giang was great (very funny and good instructor). great atmosphere would highly recommend to anyone looking for an evening activity in Hoi An
The entire day was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up from our hostel by the owner who was extremely friendly and chatted to us all the way to his family cooking school. The teacher/chef Ha was definitely well named - she was hilarious and again so friendly and helpful. All the food we made was delicious and not at all complex thus i would recommend for anyone who wants delicious food that doesn't take hours to make, regardless of skill in the kitchen, and who wants to have a good laugh along the way. 10/10
It was great! The transport was on time, smooth and easy. The cooking was amazing! Adapted to any allergies you might have, fun, professional, organised, safe and delicious! Thank you very much!
We had a lot of fun with this activity! It's not the "in a family home" most authentic experience possible, but the guides have a lot of fun with you and we did learn some really interesting tidbits and techniques. There were about 20 people there with us, but we were split into small groups of 6 so it was more personal. They also take some fun videos of you cooking, and the food at the end is delicious! Far too much to eat! Great value for money overall.
Really enjoyed our cooking class - the food we made was extremely tasty!!
Great activity! Loved being taken through the process and the whole class was super streamlined!
Very enjoyable. Our instructor/chef was very knowledgeable and informative.
Cozy cooking class, with intimate setting (only four participants), fresh produce and delicious food. Our cook was kind, supervised us well and let us do most of the cooking. Only thing we would have loved more of was some stories/historical context of the dishes and more socializing with the cook.
Pünktliche Abholung und Rücktransport. Größere Gruppe wurde aufgeteilt in zwei für Cooking Class und Markt. Auf Wünsche wie Vegetarier usw. wurde perfekt Rücksicht genommen. Guide Kieu war total lieb und Service orientiert. Kochen und Essen ein Erlebnis. Coconut Boot Fahrt kurz, aber sehr witzig und genau richtig. Preis Leistung sehr gut, natürlich für Touristen ausgerichtet, aber macht sehr viel Freude, alle Zusagen eingehalten. Empfehlung.
Mattinata piacevole. Trasporto e attività interessanti e ben gestite. La nostra guida Khai è stato fenomenale, inoltre abbiamo mangiato tanto e bene. Super consigliato!
Super easy pickup and drop off, the cooking class was amazing. Not just the food but the people, our chef instructor was both really helpful and hilarious! Best thing we did in Hoi An!
heel leuke ervaring, super leuke kok genaamd Thuong.
