• 5/5 from Jessica Tracey, attended Jul 2026: This was a wonderful class to take. Our teacher Hideo Dekura was so lovely, funny and knew so much about the world. The best part was making the noodles from scratch and very surprisingly using our feet! Sitting down at the end to eat our delicious ramen with the other couples we met during the class was a really nice way to end the experience. Would highly recommend this class to anyone. It was easy to follow and very inspiring.

• 5/5 from Ellen Polsek, attended Mar 2026: What a fun class! Great tips on how to make a delish ramen - which I can now share with my fav people as I cook for them. Probably one of the best gifts I’ve ever received!
• 5/5 from Amy Vella, attended Feb 2026: Hideo was an exceptional teacher, and it was truly an honour to learn from someone with such deep cultural and culinary heritage. Born in Yotsuya, Tokyo, and trained from a young age in his family’s restaurants, Hideo brings generations of Japanese culinary tradition into the classroom. His knowledge goes far beyond cooking techniques, he shares the philosophy, history, and artistry behind Japanese cuisine, which made the experience incredibly special. During the class, we learnt how to make ramen noodles from scratch and prepare a rich tonkotsu broth, while also understanding ingredient pairings and the intention behind each step. Hideo’s teaching style is patient, warm, and deeply respectful of tradition, reflecting his extensive experience teaching and demonstrating internationally before establishing Culinary Studio Dekura in Sydney. As someone who loves Japanese cuisine, this was a beautiful birthday gift and an unforgettable experience. The small class size makes it intimate and personal, allowing everyone to learn comfortably and connect over the process. You leave not only with a delicious bowl of ramen but also a genuine appreciation for Japanese food culture. Absolutely worth every penny! Looking forward to trying more cooking class with him in the near future.

• 5/5 from Ekanayake Mudiyanselage Srimathie D Ekanayake, attended May 2025: I recently attended the Ramen cooking class, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The teacher was exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly, generous, and incredibly kind. He explained everything so clearly, making it easy to understand even for beginners. His attention to cleanliness and detail was impressive, and he went out of his way to make each of us feel comfortable and welcome. What really stood out was how passionate he is about ramen and teaching. He has even written books on the subject, which are thoughtfully written and filled with great insights and deals. It's clear he truly cares about sharing his expertise. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in ramen and all his cooking classes, whether you're a total beginner or already have some experience. It was one of the best cooking classes I've ever taken!

• 3/5 from Cynthia Catts, attended Jun 2024: Certain parts of the experience were lovely, and the ramen served to us tasted good. However, I was expecting to learn more than we did. Yes, we did handmake the noodles, but the other elements of the ramen dish were already prepared. Other than a recipe sheet that was handed to me, I am none the wiser.

• 5/5 from Thomas Dang, attended Jan 2024: Great class taught by Chef Hideo Dekura. We learnt the proper way to make ramen noodles and constructing the ramen dish. Definitely a fun and rewarding experience, and learnt some great techniques. I’d say that Chef Hideo Dekura is one of the most experienced Japanese cuisine chefs in the world.
• 5/5 from Lucas Hirst, attended Jan 2024: Awesome class and experience, I will never look at Ramen again with the same fear. Our class was small but without a doubt very interesting, I had no idea Hideo Dekura had so many books and other credits to his name. He truly is the Masterchef when it comes to Japanese cuisine.
