Sushi class with Chef Pao was wonderful. The three rolls were delicious and I feel like I can make it on my own now!
Fun night making Maki with Pao. Definitely recommend!
We did the sushi class! Chef Pao was awesome! He educated us on sushi and was a great teacher on how to construct it.
Chef Pao was wonderful! We had such a fun time and the private atmosphere was great! We learned a lot, enjoyed our time and enjoyed our food! Thanks Chef Pao! Will definitely schedule another class with him in the future!
My husband and I had a great time making a few different sushi rolls with Chef Pao. I honestly had never tried making sushi before, because I had assumed it was too complicated. Chef Pao made the whole process very approachable, and we were really pleased with the outcomes of our first ever sushi attempts. The whole class was very organized, the kitchen was super clean, and Chef Pao had a calm and encouraging personality that made the experience fun instead of stressful. Highly recommend!
Chef Pao was super fun and engaging to learn from. He made each step of the process interesting and explained many of the reasons for the ingredient choices and why they are important. I would 100% take more classes from Chef Pao.
Fun experience with a delicious outcome!
I learned so much from this! I can confidently say that I can use what I learned and create quality sushi at home now. I'd highly recommend for date night or a fun group activity!
Chef Pao was very knowledgeable and patient, I would 100% recommend this class for anyone interested in learning how to make sushi!
Pa was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way! My husband and I really enjoyed the private lesson atmosphere and the variety of rolls. The emphasis of the class was on assembling and rolling, with limited opportunities to slice/cut. This was 100% fine with me (I don’t like using knives much) but if someone is looking to learn knife skills for sushi, this may not be what they’re looking for. We wrapped up the lesson with getting to eat our hard work along with a lovely salad and mochi ice cream dessert prepared by Pa. Everything about this experience was so chill but fun and I’d highly recommend Pa to any novice.
Chef Pao was great! Very intimate atmosphere really enjoyed learning how to make sushi.
Chef Pao went above and beyond!! He was super accommodating, knowledgeable, and fabulous to work with! I would recommend anyone and everyone to take his classes!
Chef Pao was extremely welcoming in his home and was a wonderful teacher! My husband and I have never taken a cooking class before, let alone roll our own sushi! It was so much fun! We highly recommend Chef Pao’s class!
Highly reccomended this class! The environment was welcoming and relaxing and Chef Pao was an incredible host and teacher! I left feeling so much confidence to start my sushi making journey at home. Take the class, learn the skills, ask your questions, enjoy your creations!
Chef Pao was an excellent and knowledgeable teacher. I am very interested In history and had questions about the history and etymology of sushi and Chef Pao could answer all of my questions in detail and did so with enthusiasm. The food is great and the experience was very organized
Chef Pao was a fantastic teacher! He was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He walked us through making a California roll, spicy tuna roll and salmon roll. He demonstrated how to roll with rice on the inside of the seaweed as well as on the outside. I would highly recommend taking any classes from Chef Pao. Both he and the experience was a delight!

Chef Pao did an amazing job demonstrating how to make sushi. It was an informative class and a good date night activity!
He was great! Fantastic food
My son and I had a wonderful time with Chef Pao. He was fun and so knowledgeable about the origins of sushi, we got a little education along with the food. He made making sushi so less intimidating than we thought it would be and I finally know how to make rice the right way! Would definitely recommend Chef Pao to anyone wanting to learn to make sushi.
Chef Pao was fantastic. Great sushi and a fun experience!
Sushi was great and easy to make.
Made 3 rolls (california roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll) and had a GREAT time. Chef Pao was very patient with us and is an outstanding teacher - highly recommended!
Chef Pao's class was fun and interactive. Very hands on and well organized. Be prepared for an intimate setting. You absolutely will get out what you put in to the class experience. Would absolutely recommend for first time sushi makers, and would definitely book other classes with Chef Pao as well.
Chef Pao was awesome. He explained everything very well and knows his art. Would highly recommend for anyone getting into making sushi.
Chef Pao was willing to accommodate me & my girlfriend by switching his typical menu up to include lessons on making Onigiri along with his staple Sushi. We pre-tipped him for his flexibility. He carefully went through how to prepare and where to procure all ingredients. Overall a fun night out, & now we have some amazing skills we can bring back home to our own kitchen.
3 rolls, California, spicy Tuna, salmon and avocado. We also had salad and mochi inc cream. We learned several practical tips. Very hands on with excellent instructions.
Chef Pao was very kind and professional and he explained everything thoroughly. He is clearly experienced at teaching and his space was prepared with everything we might need. We are excited to make our own sushi at home now!
We had an amazing time learning how to make sushi with Chef Pao! He was so welcoming, well prepared, and knowledgeable about his craft. I didn't know that sushi means vinegared rice. I was under the impression that sushi was the entire dish. Overall this was an amazing experience, perfect date night and birthday gift for my husband and I! This class is great for adults and I would absolutely recommend this class to couples and friends!
Me and my mom took the sushi class. It was amazing chef Pao told you about every ingredient and the why behind the method. Highly recommend
We made 3 different rolls 2 different learning styles chef was patient and very kind and had very good instruction!
The experience of making sushi in a small group with detailed instruction and guidance was very enjoyable! Chef Pao was able to accommodate having the meal Gluten-Free with substitutions. Highly recommend the experience!
Excellent class. Chef Pao was a great teacher! Would highly recommend.
Chef Pao helped us make and plate 3 rolls of sushi that were delicious! We had such a fun time learning from him and his expertise. A great date for us!
Chef Pao was very informative and we learned so much about *Maki making (and that sushi only means vinegar rice). We were always under the impression that sushi (maki) was hard to make and something the average person couldn’t do, but chef Pao proved this so wrong! We will definitely be trying this again at home. Was such a fun date night! Would recommend chef Pao start with the salad appetizer at the beginning while he is doing his first intro into sushi / how to make the rice. I showed up hungry and having to make each roll first before eating was taunting! Also, some light music in the background would be a great addition to ease the mood. Overall, would recommend!
Chef Pao was amazing! We brought our kids, ages 12 and 14 and they loved it! Pao was an excellent teacher: patient and extremely knowledgeable. I will 100% recommend this experience!
We booked a private class with Chef Pao to learn to make sushi. There were five of us in attendance: myself, husband, and three young adult children. It was so much fun! Most of us had never made sushi before and left feeling like we are ready and can't wait to tackle it on our own. The private, intimate setting was ideal, his instruction was very clear, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this class with Chef Pao.
Chef Pao was wonderful to work with!
Thank you for opening your home and sharing your skill set in sushi making. Had an exceptional time learning your tips and tricks on creating the perfect roll. Appreciate you accommodating my food allergies and patiently answering questions. I’ll be back again in 2026 to learn more delicious dishes from you!
We made 3 sushi rolls and chef had prepared a salad and a dessert for us. We had a great experience! Highly recommend classes with Chef Pao.
We made sushi and it was great!
Great class!
Really had a great time at Chef Pao’s house for a sushi making dinner. Learned how to make sushi in detail and Chef Pao was very accommodating. Would recommend to anyone trying to get their hands on making good sushi
What a great experience! Chef Pao made us feel welcome and comfortable from the very beginning. He guided us through everything and answered all our questions as we learned how to make three sushi rolls. I couldn’t recommend Chef Pao more highly.
Great class! Got great tips for success at making sushi at home. Come hungry. Thanks, Chef Pao!
My wife and I had a wonderful night with Chef Pao! He was very welcoming and did a great job teaching us how to make sushi. We really enjoyed how in depth he went with the why behind how each roll is made the way it is.
What a fantastic class! Went as a mother daughter duo, and had a wonderful time. Chief Pao made sushi rolling easy and approachable, and we left ready to make our own rolls at home. We also left STUFFED! Chief Pao was very knowledgeable, willing to share his experience and eager to answer questions. Can’t recommend this class enough!
Chef Pao was very friendly and did a great job walking everyone through the process. It was a fun time and we are comfortable making sushi rolls for ourselves after this course. Very fun and relaxed time.

Highly recommend for a unique date night or small group activity!
Had a fabulous time, super fun and great teacher
Chef Pao is INCREDIBLE!!! His sushi course is thoughtfully designed, he is patient and takes the time to teach everyone, he has everything prepared and ready to go when you arrive, and he has a great personality that makes it an all around social, fun experience.

My wife and I took this class with Chef Pao and were absolutely blown away. He made the process of making sushi so approachable and easy to follow, even for beginners like us. We not only had a great time during the class, but we also left with the confidence and skills to recreate everything at home – and we have! Chef Pao was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his craft. The step-by-step guidance, especially on rice prep and rolling technique, was exactly what we needed. The ingredients were fresh, the environment was fun and welcoming, and the hands-on experience was top-notch. If you’re looking to actually learn how to make sushi, this is the class for you. Highly recommend it for a date night, group activity, or just to pick up a new skill!
Excellent class: clear, fun, and tasty! Chef Pao is soft spoken, his directions and demos are easy to follow and nicely paced. I never thought making sushi rolls would be as doable as it felt. Highly recommended.
Just wonderful. Chef Pao was very knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. I booked it for a birthday gift for my SO and we had a great time. We’ve never made sushi before but after taking one class, I am confident that I could make my own simple rolls!

The class with Chef Pao was really fun and informative! It was just me and my daughter, and Chef Pao was great at explaining things to us and helping us create some delicious sushi rolls!
Chef Pao was very hospitable and taught a fun, informative sushi making class! The ingredients were fresh and tasty. It was a fun experience overall. Constructive feedback: - Include a small lesson on how to cook short grain white rice without a rice cooker. - Consider having light, background music to add to the ambiance.
This was such a great experience! My entire family enjoyed it. Chef Pao was a really welcoming host and great instructor. We are excited to make more sushi!

My husband and I had a great time, and we left feeling confident that we could indeed make ourselves sushi at home -- and the food was delicious! Pao's home was warm and inviting, as was the chef himself. We're definitely planning to take Pao's other sushi course later this year! Excellent experience overall.

My granddaughter and I attended Pao’s Sushi class. He is a cheerful, fun and excellent at teaching his skill. We made 3 types of rolls and then had the enjoyment of eating what we made along with a lovely salad he made for us and some Mochi ice cream for desert. I always thought making Sushi was a difficult task but with Paos instruction we were able to make very nice rolls first time. Great class.

Chef Pao was a kind and patient teacher and was clearly excited to demonstrate his knowledge on sushi-making. The class was well-organized and ran smoothly (our class of 4 people finished in about 1.5 hrs). The food that we made tasted great! One thing that I realized was that the menu mentioned mochi and we did not receive it, but I was definitely still full from the food we made. Overall I had a great time and would definitely recommend this class anyone interested in sushi!
Chef Pao was absolutely fantastic— inviting, kind, fun and certainly knowledgeable! I bought this class for my girlfriend and I to attend as a Valentine’s Day gift and she was not disappointed (being the biggest sushi fanatic ever).

Amazing fun experience. Lovely date. Will be making sushi at home!
Wonderful Experience!
Great experience!! We are already planning our next class! Thank you for your time and expertise!
Great experience and chef!
The sushi was good and Chef Pao was very nice! I was expecting a longer class where we could learn and participate in making more of the food, the class was really just rolling the already prepared ingredients.
The class was informative, however, for the price I was expecting more. Also we were very surprised by the location of the class, no one in our group was anticipating it being at a house?? The website needs to make it more clear this class is at Chef Pao’s home, and not a facility or restaurant. Again for the price, was expecting more of an experience.
Class is not well prepared. Chef did not pay attention to details.

Booked the class Rice Noodles and Spring Rolls with Chef Pao
The class was great and the food was delicious! Pao taught us every step of the way and answered any questions we had during the process. The egg rolls were so good and we have already made them again using his teachings.
Booked the class Make Perfect Sushi Rolls with Chef Pao in Minneapolis
Chef Pao was great but the room with dirty carpets and paper plates did not match the pictures online.
Booked the class Amazing Omakase Sushi with Chef Pao in Minneapolis
I think we were a little disappointed, paid for 2 hour class - but it was probably 20 minutes of instruction and our sushi does not look like the photos listed in the description.
Booked the class Sushi and Nigiri Bar with Chef Pao
Chef Pao callled 90 minutes before our guests arrived to tell us he wasn’t coming. His excuse was that his flight arrived the morning of our event, not the night prior. He didn’t have the courtesy to tell us until the last minute. We needed up ordering takeout. It was a total let down. I will not use cozymeal again and I wouldn’t trust that chef pao will be there for your event.
Reviews Chef Pao received outside of Cozymeal
Chef Pao’s service was excellent! He went above and beyond to made sure everything was perfect. Everyone raved about the food. Thank you for making the event excellent!!
Food was great and I loved it.
Great sushi, and knowledgeable about the fish.
Chef Pao's cooking is exceptional and entertaining. He enjoys teaching about culinary art techniques and cooking methods, so he won't disappoint if you have the chance to see him cook and learn from him. As with the dishes he creates, there is no disappointment. He is passionate and it shows through the flavor he extracts from simple ingredients. All in all, he can always bring a unique twist on classic dishes, and that is probably what I enjoy the most about his cooking style.
Pao has excellent people skills and truly cares about how what he teaches to others! He’s passionate and creative when it comes to perfecting his craft, I highly recommend choosing him to learn more about what his cuisine can offer!
Very good chef and dedicated to his craft. He is very knowledgeable about his craft.
Had a great meal made by my friend !! Egg rolls and cheese puffs were very nice !!!
Sushi rolls are amazing.
Made some egg-rolls and fried rice for my family! Delicious and everyone loved it! Very good food.
