Otao Kitchen
About
Otao Kitchen opened in 2014 at 360 Victoria Street, Richmond. Today we're further up the same street, at 389 and 393 Victoria Street, Abbotsford, celebrating the food of Melbourne's multicultural communities.
Our hands-on classes cover Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Mexican, Italian and more. You cook your own dishes with expert chefs, then sit down together to enjoy the meal. Classes suit beginners to keen home cooks, aged 16 and over.
Otao is named after Ông Táo, the Vietnamese Kitchen God. We're two-time Gold winners for Excellence in Food Tourism at the Victorian Tourism Awards (2022 and 2023).
We’re really glad to hear you had a fun experience and enjoyed the paella, Michael. We appreciate your feedback around the recipes and instruction. We do share recipes via a link in the reminder email prior to the class, as well as in the follow-up email afterwards. We’ve chosen to keep recipes digital as part of our commitment to environmental responsibility.
We also hear your comments on the seafood portion in the paella. We’re now reviewing this with our kitchen team to ensure a more generous and well-balanced inclusion of seafood going forward. Thanks again for your honest feedback, we appreciate it as we continue to refine the experience.
Kind regards,
Otao Kitchen team
