Great vegetarian cooking experience
Had a great private vegetarian cooking class today. The class is usually for several participants but they decided to not cancel on me and still walked around old quarter to buy some veggies and tofu which we then used in the class. Especially but not only for vegetarians, this is a very nice class to learn to cook some Vietnamese dishes.

Great time cooking with Mango
This class was amazing, the best cooking class I did and I already did one in Thailand and Japan. Our guide Mango was super nice in a good mood and told us so many interesting things about Vietnamese Kitchen. Best 3hours spend in Hanoi. The food we cooked was delicious and the receipes are easy to Cook again at home 😊
Response from the operator: Hi there, thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Mango. It’s lovely to know her enthusiasm and knowledge helped make your three hours in Hanoi so enjoyable, and that you found the recipes easy to recreate at home. 😊 Thank you for choosing to cook with us and for sharing such a thoughtful recommendation. We’re so glad you had a memorable time! Best regards, Love Kitchen Lab

Great
Loved everything about this … the market tour, the cooking and of course the eating. The vegetarian food was some of the best I’ve eaten in Vietnam. Mango was a brilliant teacher.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed every part of the journey, from exploring the local market to preparing and enjoying the vegetarian dishes. Mango will be so happy to know that her guidance made the class special for you. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope you take some wonderful culinary memories of Vietnam home with you! Warmly, Love Kitchen Lab

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 246 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting?
+
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 Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting?
+
Around 86 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Hanoi Cooking Class with Free Wine Tasting 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. 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 Hanoi?
+
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 Hanoi?
+
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.
