We had a fantastic cooking workshop yesterday led by Cherry. Dine with Locals handles things in a particularly professional manner. The dishes were delicious and easy to prepare. The atmosphere was good and the people were friendly. We are taking home a wonderful memory. We wish Cherry and her colleagues many more wonderful workshops and success in the future. Warm regards, Joop and Judith from the Netherlands

We had a wonderful time during this cooking class with Jesse. We discovered a few new vegetables at the market and cooked some delicious dishes. All the dishes that we cooked were decided together and Jesse took in account all preferences and dietary requirements. Hygiene was priority at all times. We really enjoyed this unique experience and highly recommend this experience.

We absolutely enjoyed learning about and preparing Vietnamese dishes and the differences between regional cuisines. Our chef and host, Jessie, was outstanding at keeping everyone engaged and informed while we toured the market to buy ingredients and during preparation. He was an expert in accommodating vegetarian diners in our group and also keeping two under-4 year olds occupied over 4 hours! The recipes he gave us will be put to good use when we get home. We had a dinner reservation that night and we’re so full from our daytime class we barely ordered any dinner… 😀 If we were in Hanoi for longer, we would go again.
Thank you for joining our Hanoi Cooking Class and for sharing such generous feedback! We are thrilled Jessie kept the market tour and cooking session engaging, adapted thoughtfully for vegetarian guests, and even helped keep the little ones entertained while you explored Vietnamese dishes and regional flavors. It was a pleasure to host your group, and we love knowing the recipes will travel home with you. A portion of your booking helps provide meals for children in Hanoi hospitals.

Alex, our host, met us at the market and showed us how the locals shop in Vietnam. Afterwards we drove with Grab to the location (paid by organizer). It is a friendly and very nice place where you feel comfortable. As a group we were able to decide on two starters and a main course that we wanted to cook together. Our choice was banana flower salad, fresh springrolls and Pho Bo. In addition, we were able to taste three more types of rice wine. For dessert we could prepare either a cocoa or a coffee with egg or coconut stopping with the help of Alex. It was a wonderful experience that allowed us Alex. The whole team is very warm and familiar. You feel welcome and learn a lot.
Thank you for joining our Hanoi Cooking Class and for sharing such thoughtful feedback!

I loved the food and the atmosphere and is a perfect place for a family to spend the afternoon and the night. I would 100% recommend to everyone to go here. Jessie is amazing and extremely funny and the pricing is fair for the services that you receive. Perfect for a family of around 4 but could accommodate for higher
