Green Mango with Cinnamon
Fun afternoon with Qua - it was just two of us for the class so we really had personalized instructions. Qua was so kind and helpful! We learned how to cook everything then enjoyed it all for lunch! Double bonus for making it delicious!

Fun and 😋
Our chef, Pinky, was highly skilled, knowledgeable and made the experience fun. The timing was perfect and well balanced between prep, cooking and eating! We created a feast in little time so our next BBQ is going to have a Vietnamese influence.

Hoi An Cooking Class - Cooking can be fun
We had a great afternoon at a cooking class at the Green Mango, based in the old town of Hoi An. Our chef Hai guided us, with just the right blend of humour and precise, practical instruction through the preparation of five dishes - including how to recognize some of the vast array of herbs that distinguish Vietnamese cooking from other cuisines. This was all conducted in a very friendly environment and we had the opportunity to eat the food we had prepared in the restaurant after the class. Hai then emailed us very detailed instructions on how to prepare the food once we returned home. All in all, we had a very enjoyable experience.

Great option to learn some Vietnamese Cooking
We were keen to do a cooking class whilst in Hoi An. Many included a fishing boat or visit to the markets. Neither really appealed. But then we noted one at the Green Mango Restaurant. Wow this one was a good choice. We thoroughly enjoyed preparing a restaurant standard meal under the expert guidance of our teacher for our session,. Cinnamon. Then we got to consume the meal we had prepared. Strongly recommended.

Absolutely outstanding culinary course in Hoi An
I attended a morning cooking class and I arrived at the Green Mango restaurant and warmly greeted by Pinky, my guide and teacher. I was the only person attending this morning’s class and I had the great fortune to have one-on-one tuition with an excellent teacher. We attended Hoi An market for ingredients and returned to the restaurant. Pinky took me through the process of making five classic Vietnamese dishes. At the end of the session I enjoyed the beautiful meal we had cooked together overlooking the streetscape in the ancient town. I cannot recommend this cooking course highly enough! Thank you Pinky and the Green Mango restaurant! 5⭐️!!
