Best Kimchi

This is a small group experience so you receive direct hands on experience. Woo and his wife were very pleasant, informative and entertaining. This class is for someone interested in making kimchi and we will definitely take Woo's recipe and expertise and try it at home. The fried kimchi pancake and soju were delicious. We wish them the best.

Best Kimchi Making Class!

As soon as we entered, Mr. Woo gave me and my friend a pair of slippers to enter his house and his wife both greeted us with warm smiles. The atmosphere was so friendly and homey, I loved every second of it! Even though their English wasn’t perfect, we got by easily. They kept apologizing for their English but there was no need, they were perfect! They were incredibly attentive in all the steps to make the kimchi and guided us through it all. They were describing the history of kimchi making and...read more

Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt review. We were truly happy to spend such a special time with you and your friend. Even though our English is not perfect, you listened to us warmly and kindly, which made us feel very comfortable and grateful. We are so glad that you enjoyed making kimchi, learning about Korean culture, and sharing food together. Seeing you enjoy the kimchi pancake, rice cake mochi, and makgeolli made us very happy as well. Thank you also for celebrating the birth of our grandbaby with us on such a meaningful day. Your kind words touched our hearts deeply. We hope the kimchi brings back happy memories each time you eat it. Please come visit us again anytime — we would love to see you again in the future! Thank you once again for your kindness and support.

We’re greeted w/a warm... Viator 리뷰: Hands-on Kimchi Making Experience in Seoul’s Myeongdong We’re greeted w/a warm welcome when arrived at Woo’s House.

His wife, Ms. Woo is very sweet, & shared w/us Korean snacks & rice wine. It’s a fun experience & is a good way to start our day.

I felt like I was spending the day with my friends!

What an amazing experience I had during this kimchi making class. I felt like I was in the gracious host’s own kitchen enjoying their warmth and hospitality while learning how to prepare kimchi. We finished our lesson with some kimchi, kimchi pancakes and makgeolli wine. It was a great introduction to learning the art of Korean kimchi making.
