Experience Details

Cook with the best chefs in Korea—our Halmonis! This isn’t just a cooking class; it’s your chance to step into a world of tradition, laughter, and authentic flavors. Together, we’ll make Kalguksu (Korean knife-cut noodles) from scratch—no shortcuts, just your hands, fresh local ingredients, and plenty of love.


You’ll knead the dough, cut the noodles, and top it all off with delicious ingredients to create a soul-warming bowl of Kalguksu. Afterward, we’ll sit down together like family, share the meal, and maybe even toast with some makgeolli.


Food restrictions? No problem! Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or have specific preferences, we’ll ensure this experience is tailored for you.


This is more than just cooking—it’s about connection. From the first slice of dough to the final slurp, you’ll feel like part of the family.


Got food restrictions? Whether you're vegan, avoid pork, or don't drink alcohol, we've got you covered. Everyone is welcome at our table.
