Otao kitchen is a cooking school and event space with a mission for people to come together to cook, connect, celebrate. We believe cooking and eating should be an experience, not just a meal. We created Otao kitchen as an extension of our passions to cook, share and inspire.
EXPERT IN COOKING CLASSES
Otao kitchen was launched in Melbourne, Australia in July 2014, with the goal of celebrating the rich and varied cooking experiences of Melbourne’s immigrant multicultural communities. Its founder, Chef Ha Nguyen, originally from Hanoi shares his passion for food, instructing customers in the exotic diaspora of Asian and around the world cuisine.
WHAT WE DO BEST?
Today our guests can get inspired by cooking with our local and international chefs, listen to their cooking and travel experiences in Asia and around the world and bring some cooking and cultural tips and tricks home. With the nods at the diversity of communities within Melbourne, Otao kitchen features an array of global food experiences from Indian to Japan to Mexico and more.
In 2020 with the challenge of global Covid 19 pandemic, we set out to capture the curriculum of our hands-cooking classes and deliver it online to home cooks in Australia and across the world to guide you to cooking success and better health.

What an experience! The teacher was an absolute gem, funny, and engaging throughout the whole experience. He paid extra attention to those who needed it, and was generally great. The space was incredibly well maintained and clean, and all of the materials were provided and prepared so you can actually learn the hard part of dumpling making. Great experience, and definietly worth the price for a date night or group activity (or even going by yourself!) I have since gifted some friends ClassBento gift cards as I loved it so much!

I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday as we LOVE dumplings and the class did not disappoint! Dylan was such a great teacher, taking us through each step with clear and concise instructions. I was initially anxious as I do not cook often but Dylan created a calm environment for us to learn.
We loved that there were different proteins we could choose from, all equipment required was supplied and within reach, the drinks were flowing and we even had some delicious Miso soup while we cooked. In the end, we made so many dumplings! Enough to take home and have as a late night snack. Thanks so much Dylan for the great class! We will definitely be back again :)

The Teacher was fantastic from the moment we set foot in the door. A warm welcome and introduction with clear instruction as to what to do and what to expect.
The venue was very clean and inviting. A very professional atmosphere.
All the materials provided were clean and of a good quality. That goes for the cooking equipment as well as the produce provided.
The experience was fantastic value for money. It exceeded expectations.
We did the dumplings class and learnt how to make dumplings from scratch. It was slow paced which made the experience enjoyable for beginners.
Our favourite part was the laid back atmosphere and amazing instructor. Always willing to help and very approachable. Makes the whole experience that much better. Thank you for the class and we’ll see you again no doubt! Couldn’t recommend this more to anyone that’s for sure! ⭐️

Fabulous, Fun and Flavoursome! Great night had by all. Attended with my husband and joined 8 other guests, perfect number of participants. Teacher was great, very attentive and kept an eye on everyone to be able to assist where needed. Did the dumpling course and am now looking forward to trying on our own at home. Of course it was made to look easy, and with a bit more practise I imagine it will become a lot more comfortable to get the fingers to nimbly form the perfect shapes. Finished product may not have looked exactly aesthetically pleasing but the flavour made up for it!

WE had a really good experience dumpling making. The pork filling was extra lean and the chillies were just hot enough. Making the dough for the wrappers was pretty easy and the techniques for different dumpling shapes was easy to follow. We even had dumplings left over to take home for dinner the following night.

Sadly I forgot to scan the QR code to have a copy of the recipe. I would have liked a paper copy. However I don't know if that was available, because I forgot to ask. I was to busy having a great time.
I will definitely be coming back to do another class.
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening

My girlfriend and I had the best time learning how to make our own dumpling from scratch! Loved the venue, the set up, the instructor and definitely the dumplings. Glad we got to enjoy them with a glass of wine and take some home to our partners who also loved the home-ish made dumplings. We definitely would like to learn how to cook the other flavors from other parts of the world too!

Anan was knowledgeable and engaging a great teacher. Kept and eye on all of us giving us individual tips throughout the class
My support worker was unable to stay in the room with me so I felt quite anxious and uncomfortable during the class. I would have enjoyed this more if my support worker was able to stay with me
Teacher's
response
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Eve. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel comfortable during the cooking experience as your key worker wasn’t with you. During the booking process, we state on the page that if the customer requires bringing a support worker to the class, they will also need a paid ticket to attend. Unfortunately, it seems this may have been ignored when booking thus the support worker was unable to join the class. We would have offered to let them book their ticket on the day, however the class was fully booked then."
Many thanks,
Jen

The Teacher was really kind and informative, even helping us catch up as we were late. He used the TV tool available well and was more than happy to repeat himself on occasions where we had fallen behind. He also came around to check in on everyone and make sure they were doing okay. This was also good because he wasn't negative or criticising at all while walking around and only offered assistance rather than jumped in like I've seen a lot of teachers do.

Chef Ha was so happy and personable which made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. The whole time we were cooking - very hands on. When we needed help it was given. The food was absolutely amazing, even with a gluten free adaptation. We are making them again at home tomorrow!
Highly recommend!

The class was really informative and friendly. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who is even less than a beginner cook. We have since made these at home a couple of time and it was so much fun!

Just visited Otao over the weekend for a Dumpling cooking class! It was fantastic! So much fun and so easy to learn from chef Ha. He was very kind and funny and showed you in detail how to perform each step. We weren't rushed at all. We made chicken and pork dumplings. So much flavour with only a few ingredients. You also are offered a beer or wine to have with your dumplings once they're cooked. Definitely will be back to try a different class soon. There are loads of different cusines to choose from.

It was a fun, educational, delicious and Mila particularly enjoyed the attention and learnings from the talented chef. Thanks you for making my young daughters dumpling class fantastic.
Much better then expected. No elements were pre-made so we learnt how to do every step using stuff we prob already have at home.
The teacher was friendly and welcoming and the venue I felt was the perfect size and setting. They were generous with ingredients for those wanting to try different things.
Would recommend.

It was spectacular! Wonderful teachers and we both really learnt a lot from the class! I can highly recommend :)
Ha was friendly and helpful, and came around to give us tips individually. I’m now feeling much more confident about cooking dumplings at home with homemade wrappers!

It was a great and informative class. There teacher had a happy demeanor and taught with enthusiasm.
our team got together for our End of year Christmas break up and did a dumpling making course. The venue was great and in a central location, our teacher Dylan was fantastic, didn't go too fast and made sure everyone was on track and most of all the food was amazing. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get their teams together or even a group of friends.
Han was great - very friendly and helpful! The vino was a nice touch also. Picked up some great GF tips too
