Welcome to Auntie Cooking Class, a truly authentic Vietnamese home-cooking experience in the heart of Saigon. Start your journey with a local market tour in a non-touristy neighborhood, where you’ll shop for fresh ingredients and learn how to speak simple Vietnamese with your guide.
Back at Auntie’s cozy kitchen — where she has spent over 50 years mastering hundreds of traditional dishes — you’ll step into her world and cook side-by-side in her small but soulful home kitchen. This class is not just about food, but about connection: you’ll cook, share stories, and enjoy your meal together like a real Vietnamese family. The experience is vegetarian-friendly, deeply local, and full of warmth you won’t find in restaurants.
Come hungry for both flavors and culture — this is Real Vietnamese Cooking, from Auntie with love.

"This was such a great experience."
Kevin and Cassy were such careful drivers that we were able to enjoy every minute of the bike ride to and from Auntie's house. They took us on a walk through the local food market, and taught us a few useful Vietnamese phrases, so that we could take part in purchasing the food. Many of the local residents said hello as we walked past their homes. Kevin and his overseas guests are well known and welcomed in the neighborhood. The manager of the market came and introduced herself to us. Kevin's auntie is a skilled cook and successful business woman. She cooks for about 50 people every day. Everyone seems to be repeat customers from the local shops and offices. We helped Auntie prepare and cook a delicious range of dishes, and then we enjoyed a great meal together. We had the opportunity to ask Kevin lots of questions about his life and his family.
If you’re looking for an authentic and unique cooking experience in Ho Chi Minh City, look no further. Auntie’s Cooking Class offers a genuine cultural insight into the rich history and culinary traditions of Vietnam, specifically Ho Chi Minh City. Kevin was well-organized, accommodating, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Communication throughout was excellent.
Alex and Kelsey were warm, knowledgeable guides who made us feel truly welcome, they even surprised my husband with a birthday cake! Auntie’s food was absolutely delicious, and learning from her was both a highlight and a privilege.
