We booked this class for a team-building event for our marketing leadership team of 10. It was the perfect mix of drinks, amazing food (The BEST Pizza), a casual environment, and learning some practical pizza-making skills. Dylan was a fantastic host who topped an already amazing experience with a Nutella and ice cream pizza as dessert at the end. I highly recommend this class! Thanks for a great night!

Dylan was a great teacher, very patient and explained the process of dough making perfectly. The session was so much fun the time flew by! We took home so much dough and pizza!

They also provide takeaway containers, which was a nice touch. It’s a fantastic activity for couples, friends, or even doing solo. There’s a great variety of other classes too, although starting with the dumplings was definitely the right choice for us. Drinks were included per person, and the staff were incredibly friendly throughout the whole experience. Highly recommended!
We made sushi, miso soup, okonomiyaki, and soba with tempura. Each dish was hands-on, and I loved that Dylan taught tips and techniques you wouldn’t normally get from a recipe. My favourite part was learning how to roll sushi properly — it was surprisingly beginner-friendly with his guidance.
The class also included free drinks, and I really enjoyed the wine.
Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend Chef Dylan’s class to anyone wanting to learn Japanese cooking in a fun, relaxed, and welcoming environment.
Dillian was a great teacher who was engaging and didnt overwhelmed the class with too many directions at one time.
Even when our ramen noodle dough went a bit south he swooped in to help us out and encouraged us until we saved it.
Thanks again. Will be back!
The only constructive feedback / improvements worth to look at is that every student should have their own dedicated board when hand made their own pasta or pasties. At the moment all these are done on the cooking/dining table and we see it with possible hygiene issues. Hope to see this new change in our next classes, thanks
The only constructive feedback for improvement - All students should have dedicated board to hand make their own pasta and pastries instead of on the cooking table as it will be more hygiene
Large, well stocked kitchen, plenty of time to cook 4 different dishes.
Fun, interactive, well paced, Cooking demonstrator and assistant friendly and suportive.
very enjoyable evening
Highly recommend this cooking experience.
Had a great night learning to cook Japanese meals, the set up was fantastic and the class ran amazingly well, a lovely way to spend a friday night.
Anan was a great teacher and fun person to learn to cook from!
We'll be back for another type of cuisine soon I'm sure.
I could not fault it.
No one in our group had ever prepared dumplings the only experience we had was eating them in restaurants.
The chef was so thorough in his explanations, patient answering questions and helping novices correct technique.
We enjoyed the process and we were rewarded with a delicious lunch, washed down with our choice of wine or soft drink. Plus we were provide with containers to take home the remainder of the dumplings.
Excellent morning - thanks chef.
Anan was super generous with his time, you end up with a great amount of food to eat and take home as well
The facilities were clean and well set out. We had all the equipment needed to carry out the preparation and cooking of the meals. The drinks provided certainly helped to create a very relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. And, to finish things off, we were able to enjoy a very tasty dinner.
I can not recommend this experience highly enough. We would be more than happy to partake in another one of these courses.
Thanks again to Anan and the team at Otao.
Cheers,
Michael and Tatiana
I felt it was rushed and because I was paired up with someone that they did the majority of the cooking.
For what I was looking for, I felt like the $200 price was not worth it.
This review is in no way a reflection of the chef that demonstrated the class, but only my experience.
Throughout it all Dylan attentively makes sure we are all across the assembly and cooking steps. I thoroughly recommend this for all, from new to seasoned cooking enthusiasts!!
We would use this company again
The OTAO chopping knife is a handy souvenir I recommend you take home :-p
The preparation beforehand was excellent and we’ll be back again for sure
We wish it had been longer and our daughter's aged 14&12 loved the experience as well
Attention to detail and the help working through the courses was great.
We are confident that we can now make dumplings at home from scratch.
We bought the experience for our daughter as a birthday present we had a fantastic time and can't wait to return to Otao Kitchen with the whole family for another class.
Great fun, high energy, inclusive, an the food that resulted was delicious.
The kitchen class room was well laid out, the large screen for additional viewing was a good assist instead of having a recipe on the bench or looking at a mobile screen.
The instruction came at a good pace so there was no boredom time and yet there was no rush either. It didn't make a difference whether one was proficient in the kitchen or not it just seem to be at your pace. Thank you to Ang for his guidance and instructions.
Definitely looking to come back and try something else.
