Cooking Classes

For those looking for a hands-on cooking experience to learn about Korean food and techniques we have 3 levels of cooking classes at O’ngo Culinary School. Classes are designed so you will be able to make a full Korean meal for your friends and family in 1 or 2 hours. First you are given a demonstration on how to make the dishes, and then you will make your own dishes. Afterwards, you get to enjoy what you made. Rice and seasonal tea or coffee is provided. The cooking classes are taught in English or Japanese. Classes last about 2 hours. Contact us at [email protected] for availability and scheduling. Book one day in advance. Saturday has special menus and schedule.
