M.O.M. Kookles in Saigon

The class started with an interesting trip to the marketplace where we were introduced to local food and vegetables. We then walked to the cooking school, which by the way, was very clean, where we made three dishes. Our instructor was knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. The course was both interesting and great fun. Highly recommended.

Not recommended if you want the instructor to focus on individuals because the class was too big (17/18 pax) that the instructor is unable to cope. Although instructor have an assistant but was too young to guide on cooking steps, assistant were only there assisting with clearing of cooking materials. We went as a group of 6, but there was also another group of 6/7 which the instructor was focusing on them most of the time which leads to our group accidentally made a mistake by placing a ingredient into a pot. Instructor face turns black immediately showing her unhappiness like we owe her but not knowing that she isn’t facing us when she talks, and she didn’t check on us either because we were at the end of the table. Showing that attitude face was completely unnecessary. We are there to learn and enjoy, not to see that attitude face. Were suppose to receive the recipe via email upon completion of class but nothing was received. Nothing much was learnt because all the dishes use same sauce and same vegetables unlike Thai cuisine that are more fun and challenging. I’ve went for Japan cooking class before and was way better than this. Maybe I chose the wrong operator on a wrong date with the wrong dish. Nevertheless would not go back to this operator for other dishes and wouldn’t recommend to those that would like to truly learn and enjoy cooking classes in a not overpacked class, wouldn’t want to face unnecessary attitude face, receive recipe after class.

We enjoyed a wonderful experience. The cooking area was beautifully clean. The food we cooked was not only lovely to look at but was also delicious. Highly recommend!

Well organized, educational and pleasant experience, with four very good dishes, which we got to cook and eat. Highly recommended!

This cooking class was excellent. We made some great food. Pho was so good. Unique rice paper for the spring roll. Chef was patient and took his time to teach us.

Excellent activity, very well organised, clean & very well-equipped facilities, professional staff, nice dishes to cook, tasted great each one of them. We did the morning cooking class of Northern dishes. There were about 18 people in the class, splitting into small groups for tasks and dishes. Very interactive, fun and rewarding. All of us enjoyed it very much. Helen and her team have created something quite special to add to the charm of Saigon.

We had a wonderful experience. We met at the market and then went to a beautiful studio to create the dishes. Made lots of delicious dishes!

Helen is an amazing instructor! We began at the market where she showed us all of the fresh ingredients that we would be using in creating our luncheon menu. We made native dishes from both Hanoi and Saigon. Helen also gave us a very interesting insight into the cuisine in different parts of Vietnam. This class is a truly classic experience for food lovers. Highly recommended if you’re looking for the authentic Vietnamese culinary adventure.

Fun experience. Made 3 dishes. One was shown by the instructor. Did the class my two 15yo teenagers who also enjoyed the class

Very good experience into Vietnam local market. The leader introduce the local ingredient very detailly. And the class is very interesting and engaging too.
