Traveler reviews
An exceptional culinary experience with Chris! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had an absolutely fantastic time during this cooking class in Vietnam! Everything was perfect from start to finish. We learned how to prepare three delicious savory dishes as well as the famous egg coffee. By incredible luck, these three recipes were already among my favorite Vietnamese dishes, which made the experience even more special! A huge thank you to Chris who was a frankly extraordinary host and teacher: passionate, educational, and full of good humor. Furthermore, the class took place in a small group (there were 6 of us), which allowed for a very friendly, warm, and personalized atmosphere. We really had a great time!
Excellent course
Excellent tour in an excellent facility. The course was great and everything was delicious and I really enjoyed going to the market to search for ingredients. Highly recommend
An outstanding experience
Fabulous morning cooking and learning about Vietnamese cuisine. Perfect from hotel pick up to market visit then cooking and sampling Vietnamese egg coffee which i would never have tried alone.. it was delicious! Thank you to Chris
10/10 would recommend to friends visiting Hanoi
Had an amazing experience at Rose Kitchen! It started with a visit to the local market to pick up some ingredients. The cooking class was very informative as everything was explained thoroughly. It was also a fun and interactive class as our instructor, Trevor, was very funny. Also liked the bit where we get to share a meal afterwards. The hotel/airbnb pickup and drop off was also included which is a plus. Overall it's a different way to experience Vietnam through the food and culture. 10/10 would recommend Rose Kitchen to friends visiting Hanoi. 😊
Great experience!
This was an amazing experience. We got picked up at the hotel and went straight to the market, where we could see the daily life of the people and buy some fresh ingredients. After that we went to the kitchen where Long helped us prepare various dishes together with his aunt. Long was an amazing host who spoke really good and understandable and was easy to follow. I believe this is a must do when you’re visiting Hanoi. Thanks again for the great night Long!
