10/10
Channy is a great host as well as teacher. The class itself was very enjoyable with the walk through the market and getting to choose your entree/ main course for yourself. I did the 10am class so the group was small which made the whole experience more personal. 10/10 would recommend :)

Wonderful experience cooking with a friendly, energetic chef !

Great experience from greetings to eating!
We came to the restaurant and Sophean greeted us right away, offering us a short but fantastic assortment of cooking options. As she prepared the classes we were offered appetizers drinks before joining her in the kitchen. It was a great experience with chatter and a lot of valuable information. We learned about the groceries we used as much as about how to prepare and cook them. In the end we had a full three course meal. All self made - with some great help from Sopheap - each dish more tasty then the other.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 853 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher?
+
Around 299 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher?
+
Included: Historic Market Tour; Cooking class with a professional chef; and Lunch or Dinner prepared during the class. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher?
+
In the middle of Pub Street, next door to Angkor What? Bar and in front of Temple Club Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher?
+

Is Award-Winning Cooking Class Experience with Professional Teacher wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
