Great night out!

Hua was so friendly and warmly invited us into her cooking space. It was a great small group environment and she explained all the ingredients, a very fun hands on experience and the food was super tasty!

Highly Recommend!

Our class with Lua was awesome! We learned to cook some delicious Vietnamese food that we could never have cooked alone. And Lua was super friendly. She also did a great job navigating one eater with a gluten intolerance (celiac) and one eater who does not eat red meat or shellfish. Could not recommend more highly!
