“I attended a fantastic etiquette class led by Piano Mok with friends and family. The experience was not only educational, but also a lot of fun. We learned about various dining customs and the proper use of a napkin, all while enjoying each other’s company. The teacher was exceptional, making us feel comfortable and engaged throughout the class. Her friendly demeanor and in-depth knowledge truly enhanced our learning experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their etiquette skills in a fun and friendly manner.”

We had the privilege of working with Piano of Etiquette Explained for the launch of our tasting event. Piano engaged our guest with Korean table manners, covering proper dining etiquette with our seasonal dishes. Her dining course was an absolute delight, both refreshing and relevant for our guests.
I highly recommend Etiquette Explained to any F&B business owners looking for professional and etiquette savvy ways to service clients or engage staff for team building workshops. Good food with quality content go a long way!
