We’ve attended a couple of Ricky’s classes, and he genuinely cares about teaching and the needs of his students. He can answer whatever questions you need to know about Asian cuisine, and if there is time, he can show or discuss a variation on a recipe. Truly wonderful! He will change the way you cook and eat.

Chef Ricky was so good. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the process of rolling sushi simple and understandable. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary so we could do something different and it was everything was everything that we expected and more.

Chef Ricky was absolutely amazing! You could tell right away that he was not only very experienced, but extremely knowledgeable about not just sushi, but lots of other food. He set a great atmosphere with music, and a food station set up like you would see in sushi bars, so you did everything that they would do. The rolls came out delicious thanks to his guidance and fresh ingredients! We would definitely take other classes from him.
