Hoi An Cooking Class by Ms Phu
Description
Ms. Phu runs her cooking class out of her actual home – an outdoor riverside kitchen that’s clean, breezy, and nothing like the sterile setups you’d find at a hotel class. The full experience includes a hotel pickup, a guided market walk where she explains every ingredient, a short basket boat ride, and then back to her place to cook four dishes together.
The food is the point here. Reviewers who’ve eaten their way through Vietnam consistently rank this as some of the best they’ve had, which says a lot given the competition. Ms. Phu is patient, clear, and warm without being performative about it.
The class works well for kids too – multiple families specifically mention she kept younger guests engaged the whole time (bring them hungry, not bored).
Highlights
- The riverside outdoor kitchen at her home is a legitimate selling point over generic cooking school setups
- Market tour is a proper guided experience, not just a quick walk-through
- Accommodating to dietary needs and families with children
- The basket boat component sounds fun but brief - don't book this expecting a serious boat tour
