Authentischer Koreanischer Kochkurs in einem Bukchon Hanok | Seit 2008

Jia was our instructor, and it was immediately clear she has deep knowledge across many styles of cooking, not just Korean. My group of four had the session to ourselves, and we came in with a real range of cooking experience — Jia adjusted her teaching for each of us without missing a beat. I'm a fairly seasoned home cook myself, and I still walked away having learned a lot of new techniques and ideas, both about Korean food specifically and cooking in general. She was excellent at explaining the "why" behind each technique, not just demonstrating it, and the ingredients she gave us to work with were noticeably fresh and delicious. The overall vibe was warm and educational — my whole group had a great time both cooking and eating together afterward. One member of our group is a strict vegetarian, and Jia handled it seamlessly. Rather than just swapping in a bland substitute, she used fresh tofu and mushrooms in place of the pork and adjusted the sauce approach specifically for that version — then walked all of us through both methods side by side so we understood the differences. It was a thoughtful touch that made the whole group feel included, not just accommodated. Highly recommend this class, especially if you want an instructor who actually teaches rather than just walks you through steps.

We enjoyed our class so very much! It was exceptional, personal, perfect. The food was delicious and I learned so much about Korean cuisine. I would love return for another class.

We’ve started a tradition of taking a cooking class when we travel—and today’s in Seoul was one of the best yet. We had the pleasure of joining a class with Ongo Food Communication, led by owner and founder Jai Choi. The class was small and intimate—just seven of us (five from the U.S. and a newlywed couple from Australia). We each prepared two dishes: Japchae (sweet potato noodles with vegetables) and Jeyuk-bokkeum (spicy pork). And I don’t mind saying—this was some of the best food I’ve had since arriving in Korea. Highly recommend this experience—great food, great instruction, and a fun way to connect with the culture and fellow travelers.

I took a wonderful cooking class withJia today. She is a marvelous cook and we made 2 delicious dishes, Japheth noodles which I learned are made from sweet potatoes and a pork dish. all of the ingredients will be easy to find in San Diego.Preparation was easy and the dishes were ready n a very short time. This class would be good for.all levels of cooks. Jia is very charming helpful. This class was the highlight of my stay in Seoul. If you have an opportunity to take this class you will not regret it.

Very friendly chef with easy to follow instructions. Whilst my partner cooks daily, I do not so was given some extra help which was much appreciated. Food was delicious!! (if we do say so ourselves)

The instructor spoke very good English and knew a lot about how the ingredients are named and used in other cuisines, even obscure ones. The instructor also did an excellent job of breaking the ice, making it easy to chat with the other participants and learn about their backgrounds. I’m terrible at cooking but this recipe for bibimbap and bulgogi was simple and beginner-friendly, and still came out delicious!

We had a great time with this cooking class. The classroom is cozy ensuring a small group experience. The dishes we made were simple, fresh and delicious!

Great experience with amazing teacher! We get to know 2 dishes from Korean cuisine which we are going to utilise a lot at home. Class takes place is beautiful surrounding of Hanok village and you are definitely sunk in Korea while cooking.

Very informative with information on food culture in a relaxed way. Enjoyable experience with relaxed attitude. Perfect for what we wanted.
