Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Viet Nam Happy Travel, 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.

This was by far the best excursion I have ever had, and my husband felt the same way. Hon was an excellent guide and a great chef too which really helped. We took lots of videos and they even gave us a recipe guide and we can’t wait to get practicing. Would highly recommend!
This was the best experience we have had in Vietnam. I am not much a cook at all but I had so much fun. One was the best teacher we could have asked for and the group we had was so much fun. All the food tastes great and she really knows what she is doing. I highly suggest booking this even if you aren’t much of a cook. You will enjoy it!!!
If you’re in Hoi An, I highly recommend this cooking class. The family is very kind and welcoming, and the Vietnamese food you get to cook yourself is delicious! It’s a great way to learn about the culture. We had big smiles on our faces for the whole two hours. They also give you the receipes and suggestions to make it back home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So much fun! It was one of my Highlights in Hoi An! Wang explained everything very well and our vegetarian food turned out so delicious :) Can really recommend it! Thank you!
We cooked to meals, with a very kind, talkative and energetic lady, Giang, she’s the best!
A great morning out for a family, away from the bustle of Hoi An old town. The food preparation was fun and informative, and the resulting meal was delicious.
the family was very nice and the food was incredible! We loved the experience and the group was so much fun! I would recommend it for everyone.
Great cooking class with delicious food. We were vegetarian and accommodated very well. Guide was very fun and tried her best to include everyone despite there being a family with young children in our group. Would definitely recommend
Very delicious food and service! Properly learnt some key Vietnamese recipes and enjoyed them after.
We really enjoyed the cooking class and the food was amazing! Can‘t wait to try it back home :)
excellent, location is tucked away down a narrow alleyway, where you eat and cook is next to a small lake that attracts the mosquito so remember your spray. you partake in authentic cooking using local produce.
Our cooking class was with Ha was great! She was super funny and the food was very good. Transfer by the "boss" himself was easy and fun. Overall great experience!
