About the Event

Cook, eat, and feel at home

Nothing brings people together better than a good meal. Vietnamese Cooking Night is an event where the VISA UCR community gets in the kitchen together, cooks familiar dishes from home, and shares those flavors with each other.

You don't need to know how to cook — just bring a good attitude and willingness to learn. Experienced members will guide you step by step, from simmering phở broth to rolling the perfect spring roll.

Open to all UCR students. Bring your international friends to experience Vietnamese cuisine!
