Unlike simply tasting Phở at a restaurant, this class lets you uncover the secrets behind Vietnam’s national dish. You’ll learn how to build the broth layer by layer using traditional spices, practice cooking techniques handed down through generations, and discover how locals balance flavors for the perfect bowl.
The experience is hosted in a warm, family-style setting, giving you authentic insight into Vietnamese food culture. By the end, you’ll not only enjoy your own steaming bowl of Phở but also take home the skills and confidence to recreate this iconic dish wherever you are.
Guided by a local chef, this hands-on class takes you through every step of the process, from preparing a fragrant broth to balancing fresh herbs, spices, and toppings. Begin with an introduction to the essential ingredients that give Phở its signature aroma—star anise, cinnamon, ginger, and more. Learn how to simmer the broth for depth of flavor, cook rice noodles to the perfect texture, and prepare traditional garnishes like lime, chili, basil, and bean sprouts. Finally, enjoy your homemade bowl of steaming Phở, paired with local side dishes and a refreshing drink. Perfect for food lovers of all levels, this class offers not just a meal but a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culinary traditions.
Our cooking class takes place located at the corner of Thac Bac Street and Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, inside the building with the Red Gate.
