Travel is more than seeing a place - it’s about experiencing how people truly live, eat, and connect.
This private cooking class invites you into a local home for an authentic, hands-on journey through Vietnamese culture. Start with a visit to a vibrant local market, where you’ll learn how to select fresh ingredients and observe daily life like a local.
Back in the kitchen, you’ll cook side by side with us - not just following recipes, but discovering the meaning behind each dish. From traditional techniques to the cultural stories behind the food, every step brings you closer to the real taste of Vietnam
Whether you’re a beginner, a passionate foodie, a couple seeking a memorable experience, a family, or a solo traveler. We’ve got you. This experience is designed to adapt to your pace, your interests, and your preferences.
More than a class, it feels like visiting a friend’s home - sharing food, stories, and meaningful moments together.

What to expect
Most cooking classes in Hanoi take place in restaurant kitchens, shared with groups of strangers. Kim's Kitchen is different: you cook in a genuine family home, with a host who grew up eating and making these dishes. This isn't a demonstration — it's hands-on cooking the way Hanoians actually do it.
Enjoy a fully private and personalized experience, thoughtfully designed to make your time in Hanoi seamless and memorable:
* 100% private experience – no crowds, no waiting.
* Hands-on cooking from start to finish.
* Visit a local market and learn to shop like a local.
* Flexible timing to fit your travel schedule.
* Customizable menu based on your preferences and dietary needs (including vegetarian/vegan options).
From market to table, every moment is crafted to give you an authentic connection to Vietnamese culture through its food.
Let us create a unique and memorable part of your journey in Vietnam—crafted just for you.
