Khói 87 Restaurant & Cooking Class

Report Abuse

Description

Khói 87 runs both a sit-down restaurant and cooking classes out of what one reviewer honestly described as a corrugated iron shed – and yet the food keeps stopping people in their tracks. Fresh herbs come from the garden out back, portions are generous, and the kitchen handles dietary requests (vegetarian summer rolls, for instance) without making a fuss about it.

The cooking classes are the real draw if you have a morning or afternoon free. Teacher Thanh gets consistent praise for being warm without being performative about it, and the classes feel more like cooking with a local family than a ticketed tourist experience.

Prices are low enough that you won’t stress about ordering an extra dish. Come for a meal, book a class before you leave, and seriously consider doing both.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Ask for Thanh specifically when booking the cooking class - she teaches it personally and that's a big part of why people rave about it.
Pros
'- Food quality is consistently excellent, with multiple reviewers calling it the best Vietnamese food they ate on entire trips
- Staff are friendly and flexible with dietary restrictions including vegetarian requests
- Cooking classes are highly praised for great teaching and relaxed, personal atmosphere
- Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and low prices make it easy to over-order (not a bad problem to have)
Cons
- The setting is a corrugated iron structure - not the polished ambiance some people expect when they sit down to eat
- No obvious cons emerge around the classes themselves, though availability may be limited given it's a small family operation
Best For
Couples, Beginners, Budget, Vegetarian friendly
