JOY Cooking Class & Home Store

“JOY Cooking Class & Home Store” is a stylish souvenir shop located on Hai Ba Trung Street behind the Municipal Theatre (Opera House) in Ho Chi Minh City. As an affiliated store of the tourist-famous restaurant “Hoa Tuc”, it sells a wide variety of miscellaneous goods and sweets with a focus on quality.

They also sell YUGOC products, so please be sure to visit.

How to get to JOY Cooking Class & Home Store

You can walk to JOY Cooking Class & Home Store in 3 minutes from the Municipal Theatre (Dong Khoi Street), which stands at the center of Ho Chi Minh sightseeing.

Along Hai Ba Trung Street, which runs behind the Municipal Theatre, there is a cream-colored arch leading to an alley (right in front of the Park Hyatt). Beyond this arch is an area with famous restaurants familiar from guidebooks like “Rurubu”, such as “The Refinery” and “Hoa Tuc”, and the “JOY Cooking Class & Home Store” introduced here is also operating in this corner.

Introducing the souvenir shop “JOY”, affiliated with the restaurant “Hoa Tuc”

JOY Cooking Class & Home Store is actually an affiliated store of the restaurant “Hoa Tuc”. Therefore, they also hold cooking classes in the same building.

On Google Maps, photos of cooking class dishes and souvenir goods are mixed together, which might be confusing, but the first floor (ground floor) of the same building is the souvenir floor.

Stocked with stylish souvenirs you can’t buy at Ho Chi Minh markets

Among travelers to Ho Chi Minh, there might still be many who think, “I’ll buy small miscellaneous goods at Ben Thanh Market.” However, recently, souvenir shops handling stylish miscellaneous goods like JOY have been increasing in Ho Chi Minh City, so you rarely see people buying cheap souvenirs at the market anymore.

As you can see, JOY Cooking Class & Home Store features a large number of stylishly designed miscellaneous goods that you would never find sold in markets within Ho Chi Minh City. Rest assured, they properly stock cheap keychains and magnets perfect for handing out to many people.

YUGOC’s sweet souvenirs are also on sale at JOY Cooking Class & Home Store!

On the first-floor souvenir floor of JOY Cooking Class & Home Store, many YUGOC products are also on sale. I’m glad they have ingeniously displayed the “Vina Crepe” and “Assorted 3 types of Cashew nuts” so that the contents are visible. It makes it easy for travelers to understand, doesn’t it?

YUGOC’s unheated raw honey is also very popular!

YUGOC’s No. 1 popular product, unheated raw honey, is also well-stocked and sold. In addition to single items of rambutan, longan, and coffee, a gift box containing an assortment of the 3 types is also lined up.

Since honey is a representative specialty product of Vietnam, products from other brands are also lined up in the store, but as you can see, YUGOC’s product lineup is the most extensive and substantial.
