  • 5/5 from Rodney Cheal, attended Oct 2025: I enjoyed cooking a tasty korean lunch. The cook was fun, gave clear instructions and helped as we followed his instructions. We prepared kimchi and a cucumber side dish, then a beef stew, tteokbokki and fried chicken. We learnt the secrets to cooking it and then sat down to a very filling lunch. Dont eat breakfast, and jyst turn up. Everything is supplied, including a goid drink and some laughs. A great time. Thanks.

  • 5/5 from Anita Whalley, attended Jan 2025: The Korean cooking class was amazing!! The teacher was really friendly, welcoming and funny. He gave us a lot of information about the types of ingredients we used without overwhelming us. The food we cooked was FANTASTIC! We ended up with lots of leftovers to take home and share with the family as well.
  • 5/5 from Emily Pleece, attended Dec 2024: Teacher was very patient and knowledgeable, the class was a lot of fun
  • 5/5 from Mirjana Gligorova, attended Jun 2024: What a great class! We had the best teacher, Anan, who is very passionate, very talented, well organised and one of the greatest chefs I have ever come across. His patience and willingness to help everyone to create a great dish is beyond words. The choice of food on the menu that we cooked today was great, as well as the choice of great fresh delicious ingredients. The kitchen is very clean, spacious and very well organised. We all cooked, ate, and took home very delicious traditional Korean meals. I have been to few other cooking classes at Otao Kitchen, and with it's variety of cooking classes I believe it's by far the best cooking school in Melbourne. Chef Anan's enthusiasm and passion about cooking is contagious. He makes everything to look simple and easy. When we cook under his instructions we all feel like experienced chefs. Thank you Otao Kitchen for this great experience!
  • 5/5 from Paul Hewer, attended Jun 2024: Was a 2023 Christmas present and really enjoyed the class. Teacher was helpful with questions and advice.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Chan, attended Mar 2024: Otao’s organisation of everything from the ingredients, utensils, hygiene, instructions, drinks and cooking facilities is of a high standard. I’m new to Korean food so this course was a good introduction to the distinct flavours found in Korean dishes. I particularly liked the KFC Korean fried chicken and Korean beef hangover stew. Some of us were impressed by the sharpness of the chopping knife, so we were able to purchase them new from Otao. The OTAO chopping knife is a handy souvenir I recommend you take home :-p
  • 5/5 from Melita Prideaux, attended Nov 2023: Teacher was great, he was very helpful, friendly and funny! Amazing variety of dishes to learn and they were all delicious to eat.
  • 5/5 from Linda Linmeiers, attended Jul 2021: Great value for money and was enjoyable and fun. Chef Dylan was very knowledgeable and patient. Food was awesome and the group participating were lovely. I can definitely recommend should you wish to learn Korean cooking or just a fun night out.
