Hanoi Vietnamese Home Cooking Class in Private Villa

We had a great time with Mai and Yu! They were very patient with us and explained the recipes and cooking processes clearly. The sizzling pancakes, steamed rice rolls, and tofu and eggplant were all delicious (our favorite were the pancakes). And we had great conversations with them; it was like being invited into a Vietnamese family's home.

I would highly recommend Mai Kitchen, the Cookery experience was 5 stars, I was shown how to cook Hanoi Spring rolls, Sizzling pancake with Pork, and Stuffed Tofu and tomato sauce… all fresh , top quality ingredients. There is a big choice of dishes to choose from. After cooking it was enjoyable to sit down to the food with Mai and her husband. She even packed up some leftovers for me to bring back for my family. Vietnamese-in-law’s were impressed.

If you love Vietnamese food, you'll also love this experience. It's true what they say...the food really does taste better when you prepare it yourself. Don't think twice or hesitate on a class with Mai's Kitchen. We are so glad we did and wish we had done it sooner during our trip so we could have taken another class or two! The class was so much fun, we learned a lot, it was very interactive and hands on, and focused on a more wholesome experience that allows one to really get into Vietnamese cooking. We cooked some really delicious dishes we were able to select ahead of our class. This class is truly the best souvenir you could ever give yourself. You will remember it forever. Mai is a wondeful instructor. She makes things so simple and fun. She explains every step clearly. Her husband Hieu met us at our accommodation, took us to their local wet market and we shopped for some of our ingredients for the class. He was so informative and made what would otherwise be an overwhelming and chaotic experience so informative and worthwhile. I will never forget this class. This was truly the highlight of our Vietnam trip. When I return to Hanoi, I will be sure to contact Mai to sign up for another class to learn more.

We had the most wonderful time at our cooking class with Mai & Hieu they were truly the most wonderful hosts!! This was an absolute highlight from our trip to Hanoi! Not only did we cook 3 incredibly delicious, authentic Vietnamese dishes, Mai & Hieu were also so generous sharing so much with us about their country, culture and food during our time with them. We asked lots of questions and they happily answered all of them! We felt like we got such a fantastic experience during our time with them and we will happily go back the next time we are in Hanoi and looking forward to seeing them both again! Such lovely, kind people, wonderful hosts and delicious food!! We highly, highly reccomend anyone visiting Hanoi to come and have a cooking class with Mai - you will love it! 🤗
