Traveler reviews
Cook like a local
I had an amazing time joining the cooking class led by Alice! It was a wonderful way to end my Vietnam trip by learning how to cook some of the popular dishes like pho, bun cha and egg coffee. Everything was arranged and organized and the staff were all pleasant, especially Alice. I would highly recommend Rose Kitchen to any future travelers that may want to experience cooking some local cuisine. Our group consist of only 7 tourists which is a good size for a cooking class. I left the kitchen feeling so full with a very hearty and fresh meal! Thank you very much!
Great experience
I thoroughly recommend this experience. Our chef, Alice, is such a beautiful person. It was so much fun and yummy food. Thank you Alice
A must while you’re in Hanoi
We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and Alice, our guide was excellent in all ways. We cooked and ate beautiful food and strongly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Hanoi.
Warm and welcoming
We had a great time at the market, cooking together and rating together. Alice made us feel welcome and at home, and explained a lot about the culture and how the food fits in. Afterwards we went to see the flag lowering ceremony, where Alice turned out to not only be a great cook, but also a great tourist guide. It felt like being on a trip with a good friend.
Great way to experience Vietnam
I had a Sunday layover in Hanoi and this was a great experience. The food we made was delicious and the instructor was fantastic.
