Our small team had the most amazing experience cooking a delicious dinner for us all to enjoy. The food was delicious and our instructor Dylan was fabulous and friendly and very happy to share knowledge and answer all our questions and keep us engaged.

About Otao Kitchen

Otao Kitchen is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Otao Kitchen is a hands-on cooking school and private event kitchen that specialises in practical, chef-led classes focused on Asian cuisines and technique-based learning.

Venue highlights: The kitchen operates as a fully equipped teaching space where private groups receive step-by-step tuition from professional chefs across multiple Asian menus. The operation supplies pre-measured ingredients, restaurant-grade equipment and takeaway containers so organisers do not need to source supplies. The programme can be tailored into bespoke formats for private or corporate bookings, including skill-focused masterclasses.

Best for: Corporate team-building cooking classes, private group cooking parties, skills-focused masterclasses

Location: North Richmond and Abbotsford sit within a precinct of specialist food shops and markets that supply ingredient-driven classes and offer plenty of options for pre- or post-event dining.

What guests say: The classes deliver clear, hands-on instruction and ample practical time on techniques such as hand-rolled noodles and dumpling making. The working benches are spacious and the staff provide friendly, well-paced support throughout sessions.
