This was a phenomenal... - This was a phenomenal experience. I’m very comfortable in the kitchen and felt that the program was a good mix between instruction and skill-building. Everything was so delicious and Jiny is an excellent teacher. One piece of feedback is that I don’t think the tour afterward is necessary.

Amazing price , clean studio & lots of food. - One of the best cooking class experiences I have ever done. I am a Jamaican national living in Asia who travels the world solo. I always join cooking classes whenever I can. Jiny’s class was amazing. We cooked so much food and nothing was difficult at all. The studio was super cute and super clean in a very traditional older part of MyeonDong, South Korea.
We ate a whole lot and there were options for vegans and non-specific meat eaters like myself.
The only thing Jiny doesn’t have is coffee - so make sure to drink before.
It was 100% worth the price.

Amazing Cooking Class & Korean Experience - Jiny was absolutely incredible! She taught us the history of the food before we began to make it. Most of the prep work was done for us which was nice! We had so much fun and created amazing food. Jiny remembers small details about us and even wrote a kind follow up email when she shared her recipes and photos!
We really were able to live in the moment since she took the photos for us. After eating our food, she took us through hidden alleys and explained the significance of each place. This was truly a unique experience and one we won’t forget! I highly recommend!

Get ready to cook! - Can't believe I forgot to review this. Jiny was great. Such an upbeat teacher. She kept us moving through our dishes while taking photos and videos so we could concentrate on our cooking. We experienced cooking bibmbop, bulgogi, glass noodles, kimchi pancakes and more. Then we all sat down to eat! She emailed us the recipes so we could make these dishes at home. After, we went on a tour ot the streets and alleys around the cooking school. We learned a lot about the life of a Korean as well as their food. It was a fun experience!

Korea girl's trip - For our friend's birthday she wanted to take a Korean cooking class and this one stood out to her and I can understand why. Jiny is amazing and such a knowledgeable chef. She gives us a cultural presentation first about the story/meaning behind each dish. She's so kind and made us feel so welcomed. She found out it was my friend's birthday and she put together a little birthday treat for her! Jiny really went above and beyond! She was very clear with her instructions and we loved her positive attitude! I definitely recommend taking a cooking class with Jiny. If she ever has other classes with different dish options to make I would definitely take her class again!

You HAVE to take this class! - I had the absolute pleasure of attending Jiny’s cooking class and it was thee highlights of my Seoul trip especially as a foodie! Not only is Jiny so knowledgeable and proud of the food she creates, she made the class fun from start to finish. We made several delicious dishes and I loved them all! I also appreciated that she shared a lot about Korean food culture while taking the time to get to know us individually. It’s a small class size which is perfect as she’s able to support us through each step. Because it was my birthday she prepared me a surprise treat and we sang happy birthday in Korean! Such a memorable moment. Thank you Jiny!
The way she taught us to make japchae was delicious, fast, and better than anything I’ve ever found online!
It’s a 3+ hour class so plan accordingly. It’s well worth it and I had the best time!
