Jinny was very welcoming and quickly made us feel at ease. She gave many explanations of the dishes and Korean culture. Her cooking class was very pleasant and the food delicious. She took the time afterwards to help us discover the surrounding alleys and to share with us lesser-known information about the city. I highly recommend the experience! Thank you Jinny!
My dad and I took the cooking class with Jinyi. It was excellent. Jinyi was so nice and knowledgeable. We had a delicious meal and learned a lot about Korean culture and cooking. Also the soup she made was delicious. She sent us a nice email after, took tons of photos for memories, and sent all the recipes.
A wonderful experience making and eating delicious Korean food. My favorite was the Kimchi pancake! The host is kind, knowledgeable, and organized. The space was clean and everything we made was delicious and authentic.
Hello Karen! It was such a pleasure talking with you about so many different things! I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about Korea, and learning about your country as well. Our conversation gave me a new perspective and broadened my understanding in many ways. I was truly touched by your love for Korean food and your genuine passion for Korea. It inspired me and reminded me to keep doing my best in sharing Korean culture with people from around the world. I know making all six dishes takes time and effort, so thank you for putting so much care into each one. You did an amazing job! Whenever you visit Korea again, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to see you again and help in any way I can. Wishing you nothing but good health, happiness, and all the best. Thank you so much, and I hope our paths cross again someday!
Another 5 star review to add to the pile, but it is well deserved. Jiny is a personable, engaging and knowledgeable chef. I chose her in part because she listed the dishes we would prepare, and we prepared those. Conversation was engaging and the cultural exchange was two way. I have cooked two of the dishes before and learned from her. I think she would be good for beginners as well. I cannot more highly recommend this experience.
Hello James!:) Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and kind review! It truly means a lot to me. 😊 I also had such a wonderful time with you! You did an amazing job cooking, and thank you for participating in the class with so much enthusiasm. Making all six dishes takes a bit of time, but your positive and energetic attitude made everything go so smoothly and made the class even more enjoyable. If you ever need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I wish you nothing but good health, happiness, and many wonderful adventures ahead!!
Jiny, our host, was amazing. She ensured everyone was included, clearly explained the history and process to cook and was passionate about her profession. The meals were amazing as was the experience, one we will remember for a long time and was one of the highlights of our Japan/Korea holidays. Highly recommend anyone to do this.
Hello John! Wow! Thank you so much for choosing my experience as the best one among all the activities you enjoyed in Korea and Japan! That truly means a lot to me. I always try not only to explain the food itself, but also the stories, history, and cultural background behind it because I believe it helps guests understand Korean cuisine better and makes the cooking process more engaging and enjoyable. I'm so happy to hear that you appreciated that part of the experience as well! I have no doubt that the dishes turned out so delicious because all of you cooked with such warmth, enthusiasm, and positive energy. It was a real pleasure spending time with you. Thank you once again for your precious review. I sincerely wish all of you nothing but happiness, good health, and wonderful memories in the years ahead! Kindly, Jiny Kim
Highly recommended. You will be satisfied.
Hello Hyugseen님!! I’m so glad to hear that you were so satisfied with the experience :) You and your team brought such joyful and warm energy that it made the class a truly happy time for me as well! You all did an amazing job cooking, and there was laughter throughout the entire class. Thanks to all of you, my studio was filled with happiness and positive energy from beginning to end. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I wish you and all of your teammates nothing but good health, happiness, and success in everything you do. Thank you again!
We had an awesome time on this adventure. Jinie was a great host, who was a pleasure to spend time with, engaging the entire group. Highly recommend!!
Hello Kellie!:) Thank you so much for your kind words and such a warm review! It means a lot to me to know that I could be part of your wonderful travel memories. I truly believe that it was because of guests like you that I was able to teach the class with even more enthusiasm and joy. Thank you so much for visiting my Dalbitkuku cooking class and sharing such a special experience with me. If you ever have any questions while making Korean food, please feel free to contact me anytime! I wish nothing but happiness, good health, and wonderful moments for you and your family always. Thank you again, and I hope you have a lovely day today! :)
Our host was amazing 👏 She explained all the dishes & informed us on exactly what to do. Can't fault this experience, I'd 100% recommend. I'd definitely arrive on an empty stomach though, we ate breakfast beforehand and had to ask to takeaway our leftovers. (They do provide containers for this) Everything about this experience was amazing 👏
Wow, I’m truly touched and incredibly grateful that you left such a wonderful review filled with compliments about both me and my class! Haha, after all, when you’re making and tasting six different dishes, it’s definitely a good idea to arrive a little hungry :) Still, I always want my guests to leave with full stomachs and happy hearts, so I feel it’s better to provide plenty of food rather than reduce the portions, haha. As you mentioned, guests can also take leftovers home in takeaway boxes, so I’m glad that was something you appreciated as well! Thank you so much for loving my class and for taking the time to share such kind feedback. If you ever need any help, please feel free to contact me anytime. I wish you nothing but health, happiness, and wonderful moments ahead. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!:D
What a great way to get introduce to Korean food! We cooked so many dishes and had an amazing time preparing them and eating them! Our instructor was so kind and patient and was very easy to follow! Also the alley walk was very interesting! Overall recommend you this tour 100%
Wow Maria! Thank you so much for recommending my class so highly — your compliments are so generous that I almost feel undeserving of them :) I truly appreciate your kind words so much. Making six different dishes is definitely not an easy process, so thank you for participating so enthusiastically, cooking everything with such joy, and enjoying the food so much! I think your passion and kindness made the dishes taste even more delicious :) I’m also very grateful that you stayed with me until the end for the neighborhood tour, and I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed that experience as well. I hope the rest of your trip in Korea will be filled with wonderful memories and happy experiences just like the time you had in my cooking class. Wishing you nothing but health, happiness, and amazing adventures in your future travels. And if you ever need any help, please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you again!
Jiny is a wonderfully engaging chef and guide. The class was well organized and we made delicious food. We learned about sauces and spices in her very fun presentations. The neighborhood walk is unlike anything you might imagine and I won’t give anymore away than that.
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed my explanations! It also makes me very happy that you found it interesting learning about the sauces and ingredients used while making the different dishes :) Korean cooking can be simple in some ways, but it also involves many different steps, so I truly appreciate you staying with me and enjoying the experience until the very end. I’m also really happy that you enjoyed the neighborhood tour with me as well! I hope you continue giving lots of love to Korean food in the future, and if you ever need any help, please feel free to contact me anytime. Wishing you always health and happiness. Thank you so much!
