  • 5/5 from Tanya Haber, attended Jul 2026: Amazing, great favours such an enjoyable experience, highly recommend. Thank you Yoshiko! We will be back!
  • 5/5 from Karenssa Legear, attended Jul 2026: A little different than I had imagined in my mind but equally as great. It’s a collaborative team effort. Everyone is involved in a lot of different recipes but no one person sees follows recipe from beginning to end. A great variety of uses. Very different and enjoyable. Had a good time.
  • 5/5 from Queenie Chan, attended Jul 2026: This was a fantastic and informative class! Yoshiko was even kind enough to accommodate me with warm versions of some dishes since I had a cold/flu (I messaged beforehand and wore a face mask). We got recipes, the dishes were delicious, and the teen girls I took to the class loved it too.
  • 5/5 from Vera Leung, attended Jul 2026: Here's the updated review with thanks to Yoshiko and her team: ️️️️️ We had such a wonderful time at Yoshiko's Matcha Lovers High Tea Cooking Class! Yoshiko was warm, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the class both fun and easy to follow. We learned so much about matcha and picked up plenty of useful tips and techniques that we can use at home. Everything was well organised, the recipes were delicious, and the high tea we created was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it a great experience whether you're a beginner or already love cooking. We highly recommend this class to anyone who loves matcha, baking, or simply wants to try something unique and enjoyable. Thank you, Yoshiko and the team, for such a memorable experience. We truly appreciated your hospitality and passion for sharing your knowledge!
  • 5/5 from Elisa Napiza, attended Feb 2026: Yoshiko was engaghing, knowledgable and funny. We learned not only how to put the dishes together, but the health benefits available. Thank you Yoshiko for a fun Staurday morning.
  • 5/5 from Trang Thu Bui, attended Jan 2026: The class was super interactive and fun. Definitely one of the few that actually worth the price. You get to learn everything from scratch and actually have to make it.
  • 5/5 from Deborah Field, attended Jan 2026: Loved this class!!! ️️️. Yoshiko-sensei is very knowledgeable (and entertaining!) I learnt a lot about matcha - its health benefits; what to look for in quality matcha; how to store and cook matcha for ultimate health benefits, etc etc. She (along with her assistants) kept the class going at an even pace. Our final matcha high tea products looked amazing! Instagram-able! And did I mention delicious?!
  • 5/5 from Cynthia Hayward, attended Nov 2025: A fun, interesting and delicious class. Yoshiko is very generous with her knowledge and it was great to see and learn knew things in person.
  • 5/5 from Alina Ta, attended Jul 2025: Class was entertaining and everyone got a go at doing some part of the cooking process. :) teacher can be a abrasive so a heads up for sensitive people but overall she ensured everyone had fun and was learning something valuable.
  • 5/5 from Panha Ong, attended Jul 2025: I very enjoy it.
  • 5/5 from Jana Lepojevic, attended Mar 2025: Such a fun class! I did this with my mum as a little mother daughter bonding class and we both had a great time. The food was good and we learned a lot about matcha. Would recommend this class to anyone interested in expanding their culinary horizons.
  • 5/5 from Bao Nguyen, attended Mar 2025: It was a great class, Yoshiko manage the amount of people well dividing her time and attention to everyone. She was hilarious easily diffuse the awkward atmosphere when meeting new people or cooking with strangers. Great class and would be happy to book again with Yoshiko.
  • 5/5 from Larissa Steele, attended Mar 2025: The class was fun and very insightful. The teacher had a clear passion and lots of knowledge about the health benefits, preparation and dish ideas for matcha and gave clear instructions. I would highly recommend this class!
  • 3/5 from Jennifer Hollingsworth, attended Mar 2025: The teacher was entertaining and fun. It was in my opinion very well overpriced and the lack of actual cooking was a bit disappointing. Table 1 and 2 were the most hands on, while 3 and 4 didn’t get much at all. The information was great but it was well over priced for what you got out of it. If you are a visual person it’s great! If you are hands on, you get very little as you have to share it with 16 others. Definitely not worth what you pay. In saying that, it was a fun morning, but walked away a bit disappointed.
  • 5/5 from Henry Loui, attended Feb 2025: Our teacher Yoshiko was engaging and super informative, we had good fun.
  • 5/5 from Yi Jin, attended Feb 2025: Yoshiko is a very enthusiastic instructor and overall very knowledgeable about matcha and health related topics.

  • 5/5 from Kasia Fijalek, attended Feb 2024: Oh what a cooking class! Matcha Lovers High Tea Cooking Class with Yoshiko was so much fun! We all got to make something and got very much involved in cooking/prep process. Yoshiko was so funny while very informative. I’ve learned things I didn’t expect to learn which was really good. The group was lovely and the end result was delicious. We have learned to make so many interesting dishes. I loved that at the end we all got to sit down and taste everything. Thank you Yoshiko and the team! Can’t wait to do another class

  • 5/5 from Joanna Goh, attended Feb 2024: A fun bonding experience for my cousin and I with our passion for matcha Teacher Yoshiko was fun, lively, well educated about matcha and good explanations during the lesson. Venue was good intimate size and excellent quality ingredients. We learnt a savoury soba dish and a few matcha based desserts including fudge, matcha popcorn, jelly type Azuki bean dessert, mock tail, mochi balls- All delicious I loved how fun Yoshiko is and her frankness
  • 5/5 from Victor Wang, attended Mar 2023: - interesting session, lots of laughs - hands on and involved - delicious - mental math was required to adjust some of the recipes on the fly
  • 5/5 from Mark Hartshorn, attended Dec 2022: I had a great time at the Matcha Lovers cooking class last Saturday. Yoshiko is such an entertaining host with a wicked sense of humour, making the whole cooking experience really fun. I’ve never enjoyed being scolded about my poor cooking skills so much! Yoshiko’s extensive knowledge about quality ingredients is very impressive, and I appreciate her sharing her anecdotes and experiences with the class when we sat down to eat. I feel like I learnt a lot about nutrition in general in addition to the benefits of integrating matcha into my diet. I highly recommend joining one of Yoshiko’s classes and look forward to my next session with her team.
  • 4/5 from Oawi Ferstat, attended Aug 2022: The teacher is very affirmative and knowledgeable. The class was fun. However, it will be better if all the ingredients have already been prepared and measured then this way it will save time and mistakes.
  • 5/5 from Olivia Allanson, attended Apr 2022: I went with my friends, it was really fun, would reccomend! The cook was entertaining and the food was great :)

  • 5/5 from Rita Pang, attended Nov 2019: Yoshiko the teacher really knows her food and her matcha. She gave us a good overview of the background of matcha. The whole cooking process was pretty fun, and we learnt what was important when it comes to using matcha to cook. We made soba in matcha dashi soup, matcha blancmange with adzuki beans, matcha mochi, matcha coconut fudge, and a Yuzu matcha mocktail. We finished every bit of the food that we made from scratch - very yummy! Environment was clean and pleasant, though I wished we could have a cooking station each so we could be more hands-on. Overall though, we absolutely had a lot of fun and would recommend it to people!
  • 5/5 from Bernadette Huang, attended May 2018: This class was a great activity! We learnt a lot and got to enjoy some beautiful food - a fantastic experience for any matcha lover!
