Great experience from greetings to eating!
We came to the restaurant and Sophean greeted us right away, offering us a short but fantastic assortment of cooking options. As she prepared the classes we were offered appetizers drinks before joining her in the kitchen. It was a great experience with chatter and a lot of valuable information. We learned about the groceries we used as much as about how to prepare and cook them. In the end we had a full three course meal. All self made - with some great help from Sopheap - each dish more tasty then the other.

Perfect cooking experience
Sinuon was an amazing chef and guide! This class exceeded my expectations, I really would take more classes and different dishes if available! The restaurant is lovely, the place where we did cooking is super clean, and the food came out tasting truly out of this world! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves food and enjoys cooking!

Great class for popular Cambodian food
Excellent cooking class to learn how to make popular Cambodian dishes. Our cooking instructor (chef) Channy did a great job explaining the different ingredients used. We did all of the work preparing the ingredients, including slicing, chopping, mortaring the ingredients for paste, cooking, and turning vegetables into flowers for decorative plating. The best part was getting to eat the results.
