SURA Seoul Cooking Class : Create a Complete Korean Table
Meeting point
The activity takes place at SURA Cooking Studio in Bukchon. Please come directly to the studio address listed on your voucher and proceed to the 3rd floor (Room 302). The studio is located inside a yellow corner building facing the main gate of Jungang High School.
Description
This experience invites you to take part in creating a complete Korean meal, from cooking to table setting and enjoying the finished table.
Rather than focusing on individual recipes, you’ll learn how a Korean meal is built and enjoyed as a whole, following the way it’s prepared in everyday life.
Each guest cooks and plates their own meal at an individual station, allowing for a personal, hands-on experience throughout.
Once the table is complete, everyone sits down together to enjoy the meal they’ve prepared, experiencing how Korean food is served and shared.
Set in a private studio in Bukchon Hanok Village, the class flows naturally from cooking to dining in one continuous experience. It offers a clear, engaging way to cook, eat, and understand Korean food culture through the rhythm of a full meal.

Highly Recommend!
An unforgettable Korean cooking experience! I loved learning not only how to prepare the food, but also the history and culture behind it, from traditional Korean table setting to the meaning behind each dish. Elly was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and generous with her time. The food was absolutely amazing, and the entire experience felt personal, authentic, and truly special. Highly recommend!
Operator response
Thank you so much, Adina! It was such a pleasure having you at SURA. I’m especially happy that we could introduce you to Korean food beyond the recipes including the stories, culture, and traditions behind our table.
Thank you for spending this special time with us, and we hope the experience stays with you as a wonderful memory of Korea!

SURA is corean cooking at its best.
Fantastic experience, wonderful food, clear explanations and superb friendly guidance in a beautiful location with attention to every detail. SURA is a winner. 신현욱 and 이성진 went above and beyond to give a very memorable and unique evening. We look forward to coming back to Seoul and meet again.

A fantastic experience!
This is a first class personal cooking experience. In a beautiful studio over looking Hanok rooftops, Elly was a warm, welcoming, friendly host who taught us beautifully. Elly was also super helpful with booking advice when we were in England. We had the BEST time. Thoroughly recommend.
