AVOID this dishonest company AT ALL COSTS They have a hopeless dispatch team You are very unlikely to receive your items and they then deny responsibility I have attempted to receive my items for 4 months without success
okura scam fraud; all a lie! trying to worn the american people that this okura chinese company is a complete scam: all their advertising marketing is a lie: the opposit of what they say: okura is made in china not in japan, and not in the netherlands where they claim it's shipped from. the stories or history they use are all false: there's no… Read more
craftmanship with forged hammering on this pan from japan. on all their returns they most be shipped back to china to get a small partial refund; after you pay 30 euro shipping, plus insurance, and restocking fees. then they claim to be 99.6% pure titanium; when you test-check these pans with a magnet (there's a heavy pull) same with gold or silver, which indicates that they are fake-counterfaits with very little titanium. these okura people should be in prison for fraud-theft, stealing from the american people! save your money and time! it took over 15 days, before i got to test my $150 titanium pan. i preheated the 12" pan for 3 minutes, turned the heat down, tested it with water, then added the olive oil and some butter, cooked a 1" fish felay on low heat and it started to stick after 2 or 3 minutes, it's a complete scam it doesn't work, i turned down the heat lower, it left a huge sticky burn spot on it. pure junk inferior trash! everything they say is a lie and they make extremely difficult to return it, with only two choices: either pay all the return fees and wait (and wait until it arrives in china) or get a 10% $15 partial refund to keep it? mind is to have my bank reverse pymt for false advertising fraud and significaly not as discribed; and not pay these theives. i've tried to get the fbi to shut down all the fake counterfait of gold and silver on ebay, and they won't do anything about it, the chinese are fleasing the american people!
This is a quality pan, people just dont know how to use it. If you like stainless steel pans this is way better. People expect it to act like Teflon its not as non stick as the those black ones.but can handle high heat and metal utensils and it will ast a long time with no coating coming off, if you are sick of wasting money on those pretend pans… Read more
and let this pan heat up add a little oil then this pan won't stick on eggs meat fish etc, fried rice did still stick a little but was fine.
Scam scam scam This pan sticks sticks sticks, when i complained they emailed saying you need to pressrason pan 3 timesTheir selling video does not tell us or show us this Then they directed me to return policy They will accept return in original package a not used Well you have to use pan to see if you ate happy Bottom line my bank NAB gave me my $143 back Stay clear from okura!
Dangerous! I was cooking a steak on top of the stove. Third time I’d used it. It turned brown on the first use, and I tried to scrub it off. The most important thing is that the tab that was on top of the screw that attaches the handle flew off and hit the backsplash of my stove. It sounded like a gun going off. This pan is dangerous. I tried to… Read more
tell Customer Service and send the pan back and they will not do anything about it even though it had a warranty. I’m going to put pictures in here so you guys understand what I’m talking About.
Very very very dissapointing, everything sticks! Do not purchase this product. Only true things is it does not scratch
Follow-up · I cooked a fried egg and snags, Everything stuck to the pan. I complained to the Company many times with email back and forth. They directed to me to their return policy, which say may be returned in original package and unused. What rubbish!! You have to use it first to see if you are happy. Then they wrote to me giving me instruction on how to… Read more
Buying a pan from Okura was the worst online purchase I have made. The size of the pan is really small. I requested for a return and credit as soon as I opened the box and they denied saying they will give a discount if I chose to buy more items. I used the product as paid$200 for it and a terrible product, all stained up in the first use. Total scammers. Will never buy again and blacklist them for sure.
I paid $179 for what was supposedly a titanium cutting board. I could have saved the money and used a sheet of aluminum foil instead. It was so flimsy that it did not even lay flat on the counter. Right out of the box it was immediately filled with smudge marks from our fingers, and after wiping it with a damp cloth, it looked even worse. Even… Read more
more infuriating is that Okura is not responding to my request for an RMA. I had to send them pictures so that their 'team' (of robots??) could decide if I was worthy of a replacement. I did NOT ask for a replacement, I wanted my money back, but after seven days of emailing them, nothing has moved forward in my request. I will NEVER, EVER trust this company again. I think I was sent a cheap knock-off from the Reynold's company.
The pans take about a month and tracking does not work. The engineering and manufacturing of this product is poor. The handle is not riveted on but sent with the pan for the customer to install. There are two projection soldered on and the material is not finished flat, leaving rough, sharp edges. The idea that the handle must be attached via cap… Read more
nuts is absurd. Given the rough finish and inherent space created, this pan is not food-safe. “Japanese-inspired”. That is a joke. Any Japanese company would be meticulous in both engineering and manufacturing. Also, even though the website gives info for returns (contradictory: Is it 14 or 30 days?) there is no link anywhere on the sight to initiate returns. DO NOT CONSIDER PURCHASE OF ANY OKURA PRODUCTS. This company is a hoax.
Purchased a pan based on reviews of its non-stick properties and no chemical composition. Words fail me in terms of my disappointment. I cooked bacon and eggs and they stuck worse than any other brand of new pan I’ve ever owned. I’m so disappointed I’m tempted to throw the pan in the bin.
If I could rate Okura as zero I would - do not use this company. I mistakenly ordered a pan from the company in April 2026 using my business credit card. I immediately asked them to reverse the transaction and refund the card. After 3 months I have neither pan nor refund - let me quote from Kashmala from the poorly named support team -"We have… Read more
checked your order details in our system. According to our records, your order has been on hold since 14 April 2026 due to your cancellation request. We previously forwarded your cancellation request to our team, and the order was held from shipment processing. We have now followed up with our team regarding the refund. They are currently reviewing the case, and we hope the refund will be processed as soon as possible." What could there possibly be left to review after 3 months?
Total scam. False advertising. They use "reamaze" for AI automated replies. Stainless steel products, not titanium, you can tell this by colour and weight. Titanium is almost half the weight and is a bit grey-yellowish compared to stainless steel. Also, not hand-hammered, just press-formed. They claim is aluminium between a foil of titanium and… Read more
9ne of stainless steel. However, I am very familiar with how titanium looks like and neither side looks like titanium.
Quality beautiful finishing products that work well. Need a bit of time to learn on how to cook/use and clean the Okura titanium cookware. Otherwise it is non toxic long lasting environmental friendly. Have not tried fry rice with the new wok yet. The deep pot is really really good, I used it to steam/slow cook. Disappointed with the… Read more
return/refund experience I hope they will swiftly improve the work flow/turn around time in this department. Highly recommended 8/10. Independent/unpaid review on 19th June 2026.

I was excited to upgrade my cookware, and while one skillet performed well, the overall experience was disappointing. Out of the box, three of the four skillets had visible scratches, including one that looked like a small gouge. For a new product that says it is (Built to last), this immediately raised concerns about quality control—especially… Read more
given the brand’s reputation. To their credit, the pan with no blemishes cooked very well. Heat distribution is even, and once properly seasoned, it deliver a solid non-stick performance. From a purely functional standpoint, it does what they’re supposed to do. Unfortunately, customer support fell short. While they responded promptly, they dismissed the damage as “cosmetic” and didn’t offer a meaningful resolution like a replacement. When most of a set arrives flawed, that’s not reassuring. In the end, one pan perform nicely—but the combination of visible defects and underwhelming support makes it hard to fully recommend. Will continue to season and cook in all skillets. Will review again after a few months of use.
I returned unopened pan to USA address found online (it’s not advertised on the company website) however return address is located in China, not the united states! Received multiple emails offering 5% discount then 10% discount if I keep the pan. No refund has been issued so I filed a dispute with my bank). I also tried canceling order multiple… Read more
times but failed. Based on my experience, I would avoid doing business with Okura Cookware. Here’s the most recent email: Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry to hear you are considering a return. As the item is not defective, your request falls under our standard return policy. In such cases, please note the following return conditions: * Returns must be shipped to our international warehouse in Asia * Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer * Estimated return shipping cost: USD $30–$50 * Possible customs handling fees: approx. $10–$15 * Transit time: 20–30 days * Packages may be delayed or held by customs * A valid tracking number is required * Any damage during return transit may reduce or void the refund * Refunds are issued only after inspection upon arrival at our warehouse
Due to these international return requirements, the process can unfortunately become costly and time-consuming for customers. To make things easier for you, we would like to offer a 10% partial refund, issued immediately to your original payment method, with no need to return the item. You may keep the pan, and we also recommend using it after proper seasoning for best performance. This option allows you to: * Avoid return shipping and customs costs * Save time and long international transit delays * Resolve the matter quickly and conveniently
Ordered a pan which arrived in good time unfortunately it worse than kmart quality. The base isnt flat and it rolls around on the cooktop because.of this. Sent several emails to the company who refuse to reply. Do not buy from these scammers.
Be careful. Once you place an order, you won’t be able to cancel it. Also, if you decide to return it, you’ll have to pay for the international shipping cost to send it back to China. It’s Japanese-style, not a Japanese-made product. I purchased the 8-inch titanium pan, and eggs stuck to the surface when I fried them.
These pans are not as advertised Complete rip off…. I have made contact with Okura a number of times via email requesting a refund as the unit is still within the 30 day period but all I get are excuses to follow the pre use instructions which I have done to the letter. How can these companies trade on Facebook and Instagram Perhaps Facebook needs to be held accountable for allowing these non ethical companies to trade on FB.
"Japanese Damascus steel knives" are in fact Chinese drop-shipped cheap steel with laser pattern. Avoid at all costs. If you want to try trash products like this, buy it from Temu instead for 1/4 Okura's price.
Absolute snake oil. Pans are certainly not non-stick, I have tried their recommended cooking processes to the letter and no difference. They might have some sort of titanium oxide coating (maybe?) but the pans themselves are just stainless steel, and nothing to be hyped about. Steer clear.
The products were certainly not titanium, hand hammered or non-stick. They arrived in haggered brown boxing wrapped in loads of tape, nothing like the fancy aqua boxes on the website. They were in pieces, literally nuts and bolts, rubber seals and… Read more
no instructions. They tarnished after 3 or 4 uses. I have no idea what they're made of. The extravagant free Japanese knife is a plain brown handled knife, nothing like the website image. They are terrible to use and impossible to wash.
Follow-up · The pans could be stainless steel or aluminium, they don't seem to be coated or layered. Assembly of the handles was simple enough to work out. The lids had lots of pieces so I looked for a video online but couldn't find anything useful. I ended up zooming in on the website images and tried to work it out with trial and error. The pans tarnished… Read more
This cookware does not perform as advertised. Even after following their instructions on slow heating and using some oil, I did that it’s still sticks. No instructions on how to return the item.
Follow-up · If you want a nonstick pan, don’t buy this if you wanna boil water then that’s what it’s good for only, you Follow.
Follow-up · Still getting billed for this I’m not paying one more cent false advertising and then they won’t let you return it, they make it so difficult.

The item is so good looking that I stayed one day just watching it! When I cooked something, I got the best of the best. The heat arrived gradually, it’s really not sticky and my food was excellent.
I spent $500 on Okura products, two pans and one titanium chopping board. The board scratched with the first thing I cut and it scratched worse than my steel chopping board. With the two pans, I followed the instructions of heating, rubbing oil and heating. First thing I cooked was eggs and they stuck straight on the pan. The pans come… Read more
disassembled which is odd. The screw hole exposed that need to have the screw put in to fix the handles are quite sharp and dangerous.
I sent a really long email to them with a lot of pictures. In the end they offered me 20% refund to keep it, instead of sending it back.
I took the 20% because I didn't want to bother with the shipping process and paying for it.
I only use it now for soups and not for frying. I don't recommend this product if you are after a non stick experience. I also don't recommend the chopping boards. The CEO on the website doesn't even have a surname.
The cookware did not perform as advertised. Food consistently stuck to the surface despite following the provided instructions, and the pan did not clean properly after normal use. Customer service responded, but the process involved repeated… Read more
offers of partial refunds (increasing over time) rather than a straightforward resolution. A full refund was only offered on the condition that I pay for international return shipping to China.
The product was presented as Japanese, however the business address listed is in the United States and the return address provided was in China, which was not clearly disclosed at the time of purchase.
I ultimately accepted a 65% partial refund to avoid the financial risk and cost of international return shipping. Based on my experience, I would recommend that you carefully reviewing the return terms and product claims before purchasing.
Follow-up · Delivery was many weeks which proves it was from Chin. It was packaged in a flimsy square box. You need to assemble the handle yourself. Another example of a sub quality product.
They claim to be a Japanese quality brand but in reality they are low quality Chinese products. My frying pan that was supposed to last a lifetime became discolored and uneven at the bottom after two uses. The customer service do not help and stop replying when trying to get a reclaim.
These pans are a rip off. Im so disappointed, used it once, came with no instructions , I have attached a pix of the state of the pan after only one use. I cant clean it and it comes with a lifetime guarantee!!!How do we stop people being ripped… Read more
off? I paid $169.00 Australian dollars and was so excited to receive it. Does anyone else have a stamp on the bottom side of the pan at all coz mine doesn't. Didnt have any issue with the handle having to put it on but no instructions etc, disgusting
Follow-up · All of the above, wouldn't refund offerred a 20% discount . Pan was packed in a small cardboard box with no instructions so not sure if it was a Okura Pan or a scam. I tried baking soda and vinegar but didnt remove the burnt parts on the pan. Not a happy customer.
I have not used the cookware yet. The pans appear to be good quality and solid. What concerns me is the handles and knobs came unattached. I'm supposed to assemble them with the tiny nuts and mini wrench they sent. I expected a good cookware set to come with handles permanently attached in the factory. No matter how tightly I attach the handles… Read more
with the two little nuts, over time they will come loose. Not what I expected. I'm not yet sure if I'll keep the cookware set.

False & Misleading -you be the judge. I purchased two items from Okura Cookware a solid walnut cutting board and a 12" Titanium Pan with lid. Both were ordered and paid for on 8 March and delivered 27 and 29 March respectively. When I received the titanium pan I was puzzled as to how a 12' pan with handle could fit into a square package, the… Read more
reason as I found out when I opened it is that you have to assemble the pan yourself by attaching the handle with two supplie dome nuts, likewose you have to attach the handle to the lid with a supplied screw. When I tried to mount the handle to the pan, it turned out that 2 out of the three dome nuts were the wrong size, they are so big that they slip right over the studs on the pan and don't engage with the thread on studs. I immediately contacted Okura and I have been corresponding with their 'Customer Service fot three weeks, they keep obfuscationg, and when I eventually asked to return the pan for a refund they adviswed it would have to be at my cost, and to send it to this address: Okura return address: (On their website they list their address as Casper, Wyoming, USA) 4th Floor, Shuanglun Yurong, No. 288-1, Dongkang Road, Xinfeng Village, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China I pointed out that the product was faulty as it was supplied with incorrect dome nuts, and therefore according to their own policy it should be returned at their cost, and I requested freight paid return details, which they have failed to provide even after repeated requests. In their email replies they offer ever increasing 'discounts' on the original purchase price if I will keep it. Of course that is unacceptable as the product is useless without a handle. Apart from the fact that the product is faulty, I feel that their advertising and descriptions of the product are misleading and deceptive, it is inferred (strongly) that the product is 'Handhammered' - it is not, that it is from Japan or the USA - it is not, that it is a premium product - it is certainly not, and their website show fully assemble products next to nec branded packaging, I received a unbranded cheap cardboard box with the contents wrapped in bubble wrap. As I haven't had any success with getting an acceptable resolution through Okura I raised a dispute and recharge through my card provider - American Express - who have been most helpful so far. Please don't fall for the image presented on their website and Facebook ads, that is not what you can expect to receive.
This all thing it’s another Chinese scam to USA, very low quality product mass production, no name on pan or shipping box, should be shot down !!!!
Im afraid I was also scammed. Sent me a cheap Chinese broken pan. Also tests conclude they are stainless steel not titanium. No customer has ever been refunded but you can expect your credit cards to also be hacked. This is a very nasty little syndicate that's still trading. For a 400$ pan do you think it would arrive in flimsy cardboard with no… Read more
branding dirty and broken? They will also tell you if you chase them enough that it'll be too expensive to return to them and will get lost . Google genuine reviews bf you donate your money to these thieves. They also only have their glossy website, any social media content has to be refreshed bc angry customers flood their posts so its removed.

Okura claims that it’s the last pan you’ll ever buy. That’s right it’ll be the the last pan that I’ll ever buy from Okura. Paid a lot of money for a pan that stuck and ruined my food every time I tried to use it. I followed their instructions to the letter before First use and was so disappointed with the pan. My $17 pan from Aldi works better.… Read more
When asked for a refund they started with 10% refund then 20% then finally 35% refund which was the last offer. At the end it’s just a con job of selling a product which does not do what it’s supposed to do.
