What a WONDERFUL experience. Chef Alejandro is such a good and patient teacher, teaches not just technique but respect for the process of creating sushi. I just loved his class, and the resulting sushi. Besides the teaching and learning, he also made the experience fun and memorable for our group. Our friends who live here in Chicago will be recommending this experience to others. What a lovely and memorable and yummy experience. HIGHLY recommend.

Highly recommend! We really enjoyed the experience Chef Alejandro provided. It was more than I could have ever imagined it would be. The food was amazing, and Alejandro was on time, professional, personable, neat and tidy! I will absolutely be using his services again in the future.
