I’m Lua Le, a business owner of Lua’s Kitchen. I’ve hosted 2000+ guests since 2017. I also run other online business, have visited 16 countries (still counting), love to practice yoga, meditation and latin dance for a healthy mind and body.
I grew up in the Northern countryside where everything was self-sufficient. I learned a lot about how to grow food, prepare and cook from scratch with all natural ingredients from the farm and garden (My father was also a chef). I’ve lived in the South for 26 years. So I specialize in authentic and healthy home-style dishes from North to South Vietnam.
-
All guests prepare, cook from scratch and eat together the same menu at my home-setting kitchen (no separate station for each guest). I will advise you on how best to prepare the food and guide you step by step through that cooking process to ensure you to get the best results.

Cooking class with a personal touch - Extremely fun and informative. We made 3 delicious dishes of shrimp papaya salad, braised fish, and chicken pho. The ingredients are fresh and ready to prepare. Everyone in the class helped. Lua gave us cooking tips and tricks and explained some of the local customs for meals. Her apartment is on the top floor with a city skyline view so of course we took pictures with the view after eating all the yummy dishes. This cooking class has a very personal touch.

Top cooking class for families!! - We had a great time with Lua. She had a clever way to divide the tasks between us (with 4 teenage kids) so that everyone was busy helping. The food was topnotch, I will be introducing some of these healthy vietnamese meals into our weekly menus with Lua's inspiration, I got some clever ideas on how to use some specific kitchen tools to make life easier.
She also didn't mind that we brought our suitcases with, as we were on our way to the airport, even offered that we could have a shower in her shower before we left which was sweet.
The apartment where the class was held overlooks the river, has a lovely feel to it!
Would highly recommend!

It was great experience. - We cooked in her new kitchen with a nice night view. She told us a lot about Vietnamese food and her food was amazing. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my trip. I highly recommend taking Lua's cooking class.

A Culinary Gem in Ho Chi Minh City: Lua's Kitchen - TripAdvisor keeps reminding me to share my thoughts, even though it's been a while since I last visited Lua's Kitchen. But hey, better late than never, right? Lua's place isn't just about delicious food—it's also a learning experience. Lua's not just a chef; she's an awesome teacher too. She'll show you the ropes of Vietnamese cooking and share cool insights about the food culture. Lua's got this contagious passion that makes hanging out in her kitchen a blast.
From the cozy pho to the crispy banh xeo, Lua's cooking is top-notch. Plus, she's all about bringing authentic Vietnamese flavors to the table. Lua's Kitchen is warm, inviting, and Lua herself is super friendly.
So, if you're up for exploring Vietnamese cuisine and picking up some cooking tips from a pro, Lua's Kitchen is where it's at.
Trust me, you won't regret it!

Great cooking class - We did the Lua cooking class and it was great. We cooked in her kitchen so it felt really authentic. She knows a lot about Vietnamese cuisine and its flavors. The food was amazing. Since we were the only ones doing the class we were able to choose which dishes we’d be making and got the recipes for them in the end. Would definitely recommend doing a cooking class with Lua.

You get all you need! - Had a fun, relaxed, and educational session with Lua making my first vietnamese dish. Aside from the delicious food Lua shares details about the ingredients and interesting stories about vietnamese food traditions.

Perfect cooking class - Lua's Kitchen class is fantastic! She is very kind and prepared, we were in her beautiful apartment, and I think that class for a few people (I was even by myself) is perfect to understand in deep the recipe and the tradition around it. But, most important, at the end the dishes were very very good! Lua is an amazing cooker, I strongly recommend this experience!

Wonderful experience, learning and enjoying fresh food - I had a great time with Emily, Lua’s co-host, as well as 3 other guests that booked the same time slot as us. 6 of us in total, from 3 different countries, talking, learning about Vietnamese cooking and life, and then enjoying great food. We did a combination of cooking and eating as we went, which is great for those who get hungry. All the ingredients were freshly purchased before our arrival and Emily was a terrific host, passionate about food and full of bright energy! Would highly recommend this experience for those who enjoy food or personal conversations while traveling and meeting others.
