Discover Hoi An Food Tours
Description
Ms. Phi runs small-group cooking classes out of her restaurant in Hoi An, and the format is better than the tourist-mill versions you’ll find elsewhere. The 4-hour class takes you through rice fields, an organic garden (you actually pick things, not just photograph them), and the local market before you ever touch a pan. Private bookings are available, which makes a real difference.
The cooking itself covers Vietnamese staples, and Phi will go off-script for specific requests – at least one reviewer got a beef pho lesson that wasn’t on the standard menu. You eat what you cook upstairs in the restaurant (fresh passion fruit included, apparently). The 2-hour option exists if you’re short on time, though you’ll miss the field and market portion.
Phi herself is the main reason people come back and tell their friends. She’s a patient teacher who handles mixed-ability groups well, including guests with mobility limitations.
Highlights
- Small group sizes (including private bookings) make the experience feel personal rather than performative
- The 4-hour format includes the full loop: rice fields, organic garden, market, then cooking
- Vegetarian options available and well-executed
- The 2-hour class skips the farm and market visit, which is arguably the best part
