Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty.
I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Chef Krong was warm and friendly. Her helpful tips made it seem like making our own sushi at home was easier than we thought! More importantly, she was able to engage both kids and adults in our sushi experience. We strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially groups with kids.

We were happy to learn some tips to creating authentic tasting pad thai and green curry. Each dish we made was delicious. My only disappointment was I felt this experience was very rushed and quick because Chef Krong had another booking right after ours. I sensed she was distracted because of this. There was no time to take notes because she was moving us along at a very fast pace. Parts of this experience seemed like a blur to me.

Chef Krong is absolutely awesome—she made the whole experience so fun, informative, and effortless. She came to our home, brought everything needed, and guided us through an amazing Thai vegetarian menu that was full of flavor. The food was incredible, and we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she was so sweet and patient with our dog, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Chef Krong was amazing! She brought all the ingredients and plans as expected, was on time, and the food turned out great. Made for perfect valentines day because we had a great, intimate experience, delicious food, and no stressful preparation required.
My wife and I both cook and we have experience in a range of cuisines. Chef Krong was great about swapping dishes we had already made allowing us to learn new recipes. The biggest standout for us was her descriptions of how to properly cut and use ingredients and demonstrations of the cues for what it looks like to move on to next steps.
Would book again 100%.

Chef Krong was amazing to learn from! She came ready to hit the ground running, we were into prep and cooking in the first few minutes! She was incredibly warm and fun, and so easy to connect with. It felt more like cooking with a really talented and patient friend. The recipes were simple and delicious, and we feel confident we could make them again on our own with the techniques we picked up. It was also great to learn more about Thai ingredients we have been curious about!

Chef Krong is such a gem to be around! My friends and I celebrated birthdays by scheduling an at home Thai cooking class with Chef Krong and we had such an incredible evening together. We have several allergies and Chef Krong reassured us that it wouldn't be a problem at all, that delicious substitutions could be made, and ensured that the authenticity of the dishes would remain. We had several hours of enjoyable conversation, plenty of laughter and connection, and a fantastic meal to conclude the night. I would 100% recommend booking with Chef Krong. : )

We booked a cooking class for our friend's bachelorette and it was, indeed, a wonderful treat! Everyone enjoyed the experience to the point that we were still talking about it the next day. Food was undoubtedly scrumptious! Chef Krong is an efficient and effective instructor as she walked us through each step patiently and thoroughly. We also appreciate Chef Krong’s flexibility and being so accommodating to our requests. Not to mention that Chef Krong is friendly, funny, and engaging! We highly recommend Chef Krong and her classes. We would love to take another class with her. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience!

I would recommend Krong's cooking class to anyone. She gave the perfect amount of direction that made us feel proud that we made the meal, but still assisted at times to make sure the food came out just right. Her time management was perfect as all of our food was hot sitting on the table at the end, despite making multiple different dishes. Did I mention the food was to die for? Delicious!! Most of all, she was very fun to be around and personable. We will definitely be doing this class again with different recipes and more friends. Thanks Krong!

I hired Chef Krong for my fiancé as a Christmas gift and it was so much fun! She is very polite, funny, inclusive and makes you feel good about learning how to cook! Even if you have someone who doesn’t really cook, chef Krong walks you through the entire process with patience and makes you feel like you’re cooking with a friend. She cooked three courses including the Laab Gai, Moo Pad Prik Thai Dam, Gaeng Massaman Gai, and Thai Sticky Rice w/ Mango. EVERYTHING was delicious and fun to make! We appreciated how she answered questions along the way and offered alternatives/suggestions for future cooking. She gave us tips on where to buy future ingredients & introduced us to different sauces and seasonings. We are definitely planning to hire her again and invite friends/family to join. Thanks again Chef !

The cooking session was outstanding. Krong reviewed the different sauces used in Thai food. She then systematically walked us through the dish preparation. When we needed to substitute ingredients, she was very patient and worked with what we had at hand.
The food was delicious. We are very happy with our experience!!!

Krong was a hit at our house. The whole family got involved and they now will be more inclined to help cook knowing it's Krong's Thai food. Krong was on time , efficient with the setup and very capable of engaging all wanting to get involved. The food was super good, healthy and really easy to make.
Being able to make great food is too important to waste time with bad recipes from the internet or to struggle with bad technique. Often little tweaks to how you cook pay off for the rest of your life and are well worth the class fee.
I learned a few of these techniques and understood more about the sauces needed. Invaluable. A fun evening at home improving our lives at the same time.

I booked a cooking class with Krong as an anniversary gift to my husband. We had such a wonderful time cooking Thai dishes and learning the authentic way of cooking Thai food. She exceeded my expectations by far as I have taken a cooking class with other business before but Krong is exceptional.
She is extremely professional and comes prepared with all the recipes for you to keep. She was able to modify every dish we wanted to learn by choosing a vegetarian/vegan alternative and was so easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again in the future with friends!

We're here in SD for a bachelorette trip and wanted to do a cooking class together. Found Krong and it turned out to be an amazing experience. There were 7 of us and she managed to assign all of us responsibilities to keep us engaged.
She is super sweet, personable, and easy to learn from. Picked up a couple of cooking tips as well! I highly recommend this for a group activity or date night - worth the money. Food tasted so good and we had leftovers. Can't wait to make these dishes at home!

Chef Krong's class has a wide variety of Thai food and are great weekday meals for a small of large family. She is so welcoming and was easy to talk to, which makes cooking in her class so enjoyable! Chef Krong makes Thai food less intimidating and shows you that it is something you can make on your own at home. I would definitely recommend Chef Krong's Thai class if you are looking to have a great time and learn some amazing dishes that are full of flavor!
