  I really enjoyed the cooking class organized by Open Asia Travel. The experience was well organized from start to finish, and everything was explained clearly and professionally. We visited a local market, learned about Vietnamese ingredients, and cooked several traditional dishes step by step. The instructor was friendly, patient, and shared interesting cultural stories along the way. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone who wants a hands-on and authentic experience in Vietnam.Show more

  Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, it truly means a lot to us. It’s always extra special (and honestly quite rare!) to welcome a Vietnamese guest who grew up abroad and comes back to Vietnam to rediscover our cuisine with us. In many ways, it feels like reconnecting with childhood memories, familiar flavors, little stories from the kitchen, but with a new twist that makes it even more fun and, of course, more delicious. We’re really happy you chose to spend that time with us, and we hope the experience brought back some warm memories while creating new ones too!

  Wonderful cooking class – fun and authentic This cooking class was a real highlight of our trip. The atmosphere at Rose Kitchen was warm and welcoming, and the experience felt very authentic. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to follow, even for beginners. We loved learning about local ingredients and cooking traditional Vietnamese dishes step by step. The food turned out delicious and there was plenty to enjoy at the end. A relaxed, well-organized experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves food and culture.Show more

  One of the best cooking classes I've ever had in SEA region. I've joined cooking classes in Thailand and Laos. But this one knock it out of the park with storytelling and how well they can run the cooking class. Great work Alex! The way you share the Vietnamese cultural stories makes me appreciate it more than I've ever did before. This is a must do tour when you are in Hanoi!Show more
