Excellent cooking class
This was a great cooking class! Everything was explained clearly, I could ask questions and the food was delicious I was glad we covered 2 dishes slowly rather than trying to do too many I now feel very comfortable in trying out these 2 dishes at home, and confident in varying ingredients to suit my tastes
via Tripadvisor
Great experience!
We loved this cooking course which allowed us to discover a little more Korean culture. There were 2 of us which made the experience more intimate. The chef is really great, she put us at ease right away, the course was fluid and what we cooked was really delicious 😍

Making Memories with Chef Hakyung
Chef Hakyung at Studio Hakyung provides an enjoyable and tasty 3.5 hours of culinary delights. She is a well-prepared and patient teacher. She walked us through the steps in making bulgogi (marinated beef) kimbap (rice rolls) and tuna kimbap. All the steps are easy to follow and Chef Hakyung encourages our success with smiles and cheer. At the end of the session, she rewarded us with a demonstration on how to make Korean Fried Chicken by basting the chicken in a special fry mix, cooking the chicken, and then frying it again with a special sauce topped with peanuts. This was the best KFC I've ever eaten and I come from Oakland,CA where several Korean restaurants make awfully good KFC. We were treated to a special yuzu beverage that Chef Hakyung blended from fruit harvested on JeJu Island. We left with a bag of kimbap (we ate every last piece of KFC) and beaming smiles. Chef Hakyung is a consummate pro and a real sweetheart. We look forward to taking another class from her as we plan to return to Seoul in the future.

Thank you Chef Kim
Truly enjoyed the personalised session with Chef Kim. Not only hands on but also learnt more about the traditional Hanok where the studio is located. Would love to come back for the Kimchi class next time. Thanks Chef Kim

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Seoul is not rushed.
Is Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok?
+
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 Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok?
+
Around 2 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 Seoul 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 Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Learn Authentic Kimbap & Korean Fried Chicken in a Hanok 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 Seoul 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 Seoul?
+
On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. 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 Seoul?
+
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 Seoul?
+
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.
