Master Korean Cuisine with a Kimchi Ambassador

Very enjoyable time. Minseonh was very kind and knowledgeable aand I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a Korean cooking experience. Thank you for your kindness.

Expertly orchestrated experience with Master Kimchi Chef Minseon Kim. This is well worth it! I would book again. Great small group less than 10 people with lots of care and attention given to every person. Highly recommend!

She was absolutely amazing! She made the whole cooking class feel so relaxed, welcoming, and enjoyable. Her instructions for the meeting point were very clear and easy to follow, which made everything stress-free from the beginning. I also loved how knowledgeable and passionate she was about kimchi — you could really tell she knew her craft well. She explained everything in such an easy-to-understand way and made the experience so much fun. Highly recommend!

Thank you to the chef for this very informative course. The explanations are clear. A big thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Had such a wonderful time learning 5 different korean dishes, Min Seon is so lovely and patient at explaining each dish, how to cook it and chooses dishes that we can easily cook again when we go back to Australia! I also really enjoyed the market tour, as I haven't been there before and felt like a local. We were all so full from eating all the dishes at the end, so lunch is paid for :)

The highlight of my time in Seoul! Minseon had a wealth of knowledge and it gave me a new appreciation of the art and tradition of kimchi. The market experience was very authentic and full of all sorts of foods and medicinal foods with amazing smells. We were so well looked after, the food was delicious and it was such a treat. Thank you so much.

This was an amazing experience! Walking through the market with our guide was such a one of a kind experience. My friend and I learned so much.

Wow!! Great experience with Chef Kim, learning all the basic skills cooking Korean food. Walking through the oldest traditional market with her was a joy, she was a local and it was nice to see their interaction with each others. We made kimchi pancakes, kimchi with pork belly, japchae all of our favorite dishes! Thank you Chef!

We booked the market tour and cooking class at OME Cooking Lab for our family of four and it was one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Seoul. Our instructor Minseon started by taking us through the local market, walking us through all the ingredients and explaining their role in Korean cooking before we headed to the kitchen. The class itself was fantastic — we made gimbap, seaweed soup, bulgogi, and japchae, all from scratch. Everything was hands-on and well-paced. Our kids (ages 12 and 14) were completely engaged the whole time, and Minseon was incredibly patient with them, making sure everyone had a role and understood each step. The food turned out amazing, and we left feeling like we actually learned something we could recreate at home. This is the kind of authentic, personal experience we always seek out when traveling. Highly recommend for families — we’d do it again in a heartbeat.

I highly recommend this Cooking Class in Seoul! ⭐️🍳🇰🇷 Everything was top organized and explained super understandable. A big thank you to Minseon – she not only led the course very well, but also made it really fun 😄👏 The visit to the market was particularly exciting 🛍️ – this gives you a real insight into Korean cuisine and culture. The whole course was totally entertaining and just fun! Absolutely recommend!
