About Ngon Cooking Class
Where Tradition Meets Taste: The Story of Ngon
At Ngon Cooking Class, we believe food is the most heartfelt way to connect with culture. It began as a small, home-based class in Dalat. Now it has grown into a vibrant culinary experience in the coastal town of Phan Rang, Vietnam.
Our name, “Ngon” (meaning “delicious” in Vietnamese), captures everything we stand for—flavour, warmth, and joy. We’re not just teaching recipes. We’re inviting you into real Vietnamese kitchens. These kitchens are led by real people with deep roots in the community.
Every class is hosted in a friendly, open space. You’ll cook side-by-side with our local instructors. You will explore traditional markets. You learn the stories behind the dishes. You can enjoy street food favorites like Bánh Xèo. You can also savor comforting bowls of Bún Bò. Each session is a chance to taste Vietnam’s soul, one bite at a time.
Whether you’re a solo traveller, a curious couple, or a family looking to explore beyond tourist trails, Ngon offers a cooking class that’s intimate, educational, and unforgettable. And as we expand from Phan Rang across more parts of Vietnam, our mission stays the same: to celebrate Vietnamese culture through food, one guest at a time

Meet Your Instructors
Get Acquainted with Our Culinary Masters
At Ngon, we don’t call them “chefs.”
We call them local instructors — local cooks, home kitchen storytellers, and everyday food heroes.
Vietnamese food is special not because of techniques and recipes, but because of the unseen hands behind it: the mothers, sisters, and street-side vendors who have spent decades cooking for their families.
Their recipes weren’t written down — they were passed through taste, memory, and love.
That’s why every dish in Vietnam tastes a little different from one alley to the next — each one carrying the flavor of a specific home.
In our class, you’re not just learning how to cook.
You’re sharing a table with culture, listening to the stories behind the food, and discovering what makes Vietnamese cuisine truly local.
