Our host was great. he explained every step clearly, was open to questions and provided clear answers, and made the whole experience enjoyable. we also made a fantastic curry paste and salad! I would definitely recommend this class to others.

Patricia • WeTeachMe 

A great way to spend time in iso. Instructions were clear and everyone worked at their own pace. The family was very impressed with my new Vietnamese cooking skills. Loved it.

Mandy M . Nasdag Australia

I booked with Otao Kitchen for a corporate Zoom-based dumpling-making class. Chef Ha was a pleasure to deal with and very professional. He sent clear instructions prior to the class on what the attendees needed (or alternatives for dietary), his instruction during the class was perfect with great use of multiple cameras so all could clearly see what results in we needed. Chef Ha made it a very fun and informative experience, our staff is very pleased with the new skills they learned during the session. I look forward to booking more online classes with Otao kitchen.

I just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for the session you did with us last Tuesday. My kitchen was an absolute mess and my food didn’t quite look the same as your but tasted fantastic. I will try again one weekend when I have a little more time.I grew up in Melbourne and spent a lot of time eating Vietnamese food in Victoria Street Richmond in the 90’s while I was at Uni and to this day is still one of my favourite cuisines. I was lucky enough to get to Ho Chi Minh City a few years back and it was an awesome experience.LIam C
