They need to treat every enquiry with respect.
I have never bought anything from Umami Food Studio that I wasn’t 100% hapoy with!!
I’ve been using Rany’s classes for team building and client events over the past two years, quite a few times now.
The format just works — 4-hour evening sessions mean no one has to take time off. The venue is upmarket and centrally located, and Rany is a great host. She’s knowledgeable but also very easygoing, which helps people relax and get involved.
What I like most is how natural it all feels. It’s a very organic way to build relationships — you cook, eat, have a few drinks, and conversations just happen. It never feels forced or like there’s an agenda.
Since only one class runs at a time, it feels quite private, and you get her full attention throughout.
The group size is ideal (8–12 people), so everyone can take part, even if they’re not confident in the kitchen. The food is great, dietary requirements are well accommodated, and the whole experience is genuinely immersive. Honestly, a much better way to entertain than just going to a restaurant.
Love their products, my wife has been buying their products for six years now,cant wait to join one of their cooking classes🤗
Utterly disappointing that Umami food studio does not care for the dietary preferences of their customers,I collected my order in person dressed fully in Islamic clothing and was given free samples of products that contained alcohol...with no ingredient list whatsoever!!As a food company you should take more pride in your customers and their dietary needs!Inform them which of your products are not suitable for Muslims to consume and most certainly not add it to their orders!

I joined the KFC class yesterday and loved everything about it: the atmosphere, the people, the food… and the overall lesson as well. I also felt “safe” as a Muslim, with all recipes clearly explained in a halal version too.
I learnt so much new concepts about food which i never knew, which was very interesting. Plus I am very intrigued by Asian cuisine and culinary so it was definitely worth it. The food was also really really good, i really enjoyed it! And the class was very immersive too! My experience was great, compared to other cooking classes too. And if I ever get an opportunity to do another class, I’d take it. I don’t think I would ever get tire of your classes, it is so exciting and fun!
Our team had an incredible Corporate Team Building experience with Rany's "Vietnamese Street Food Favorites" class!
I loved the interaction with the team; it was the perfect way for us to break the ice. Rany's instruction was spot on—I especially appreciated that we didn't have to initiate the cooking from start to finish, but instead participated in specific, engaging parts of the process. Her explanation of the cooking process and how she got everyone involved in different tasks showed that her planning was truly great. 👍
Last but not least, the quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and it was a huge plus that we could even purchase items on-site. The ultimate cleanliness and neatness of her home and kitchen were also very impressive!
The food was superbly delicious—the absolute highlight of the evening. Since the concept of Vietnamese street food was foreign to most of us, we had no idea what it would taste like while cooking, but once we sat down to dine, it was simply amazing! 😍💃 I also loved the tastings of various sauces and spices and Rany's expert advice on how and where to use them.
I have highly recommended this experience to our Group Chief Procurement Officer, and as a result, our Procurement Team is now confirmed to join! If you're looking for a professional yet fun and delicious bonding experience, this is it.
Team Building: Korean Fried Chicken (KFC)
Absolutely AMAZING cooking class with Rany! Learnt so much and the flavours were incredible, not to forget SO much fun with lots of laughs! Highly recommend!!
Thank you Rany and rest of the Umami Team!!🤗
See you soon!
I joined the Thai Dumpling class with my 11-year-old daughter and we had so much fun! The class was hands-on and easy to follow, and the dumplings were absolutely delicious.
I especially loved learning the different ways to cook them — not just steaming, but also boiling & served with sauce on top, in soup with veggies, and as potstickers. Tasting all the variations made the experience extra special for both of us.
The gluten-free dumpling wrappers are incredible. They hold up really well, usually gluten-free is crumbly, dry or fragile but these wrappers are not any of the above. The work well frozen and fresh.
The other products I purchased are all high quality and delicious.
An unforgettable experience! 🌟🙌 I joined the Thai Curries class and was blown away. From the moment I arrived, the studio smelled incredible, and Rany made everything warm, fun, and educational. We made curry pastes from scratch, cooked juicy fish cakes, grilled chicken satay, and finished with a rich peanut sauce — every dish looked and tasted restaurant-worthy. 🍛
Rany shared practical meal prep tips throughout, always explaining the why behind each step. What stood out most was the focus on fresh ingredients and balancing flavours — the part I always struggle with at home. I left inspired, confident, and ready to recreate it all in my own kitchen. Highly recommend it to any Thai food lover! ❤❤❤
Wow what amazing products! I nearly ate all the dumplings in one sitting
The dumplings are amazing. We also really love the pickled onion and celery, super nice. Dipping sauces and cordials super great!!!
Will definitely be ordering again soon.
First time our national sales team did a cooking class for team building (was a bit nervous), but it was such a hit! We bonded over Korean fried chicken, full tummies, lots of laughs, and a host with great humour. Everyone got involved, worked as a team, and we loved the food so much there wasn’t much space left for drinks. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home—so easy to follow!
Had amazing fun at a Korean BBQ class for team building. It was a truly unforgettable experience, a feast for the senses: sizzling aromas, vibrant flavors, and the joy of creating and feasting together. I loved tasting and experimenting with ingredients and dishes I never knew before while listening to the stories behind them.
Though we’re a "quiet" group, the warmth and connection shared made this day incredible and memorable. Thank you for such an enriching experience with top-notch execution.
I attended a Thai Curry & Chicken Satay class for a company function, and it was fantastic! Rany’s teaching style is a perfect mix of humor and fun, while still being super educational and practical. The meals were surprisingly easy to make, light yet delicious, and all so healthy. I’m still dreaming about the Thai Green Prawn Curry – absolutely scrumptious! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾*
Organised a team building with Rany’s Korean BBQ cooking class. Rany made the process so easy and stress-free (easiest I’ve ever planned 😂). Amazing experience, everyone had a great time. Loved how easy the recipes are and how tasty the food was—quick cooking, yet SO good and in perfect harmony. Thank you for inviting us into your warm, beautiful home! 🌻
Rany is incredible. Even accommodate us with a assortment of dietary needs. Highly recommend. Great value for money
My daughter and I attended nearly all of Rany’s classes. Now, I cook faster with less effort (and far less food waste), creating dishes brimming with flavor. With her infectious passion for food and stellar recipes, she has transformed my cooking forever. My husband worships me now.
