Fantastic core memory for our family! Professional, super accommodating, fun and delicious! We’ll certainly do this again.

Justin was simply incredible! I invited him over as a surprise for my sushi-loving boyfriend. My partner learned a lot from Justin, both from his skills and his life - we loved getting to know him. I also got to partake in some of the sushi-ing, but watching Justin's craftsmanship was more exciting for me :)

Great evening learning how to make an assortment of sushi rolls. Great way to spend the evening
Matt R.
We had a great time! The menu had some good variety, and we learned a lot about sushi making. We ended up making a lot of food and have leftovers. I'd highly recommend Justin!

Justin's sushi making class was so fun and informative. My husband (the birthday boy) and I love eating sushi, but found the prospect of making it ourselves very unapproachable. Justin was so patient and took the time to teach us the correct techniques to make delicious rolls we can make in the future. I would highly recommend Justin and his class to wannabe sushi makers!
Ivan M.
We cooked a variety of different sushi types- all of our rolls turned out delicious. Chef Justin is a good teacher with a good sense of humor.

Chef Justin was great!!! We had him come for Father’s Day dinner. Not only did Chef Justin make great sushi, he was also so much fun teaching our 6 year old & 8 year old. Def recommend!
Bernita W.
Will book again just because! Chef Justin is kind, funny, knowledgeable and professional. He gave us such an amazing experience. It was more than we expected. He also accommodated special needs for me. Worth every penny! Book with Justin!

I booked chef Justin for my husband’s birthday as a surprise. This experience was excellent, and we all enjoyed the night we spent learning and making sushi rolls. Everything was light, fresh, and delicious! Even my 5 y.o. daughter learned how to make sushi, and chef Justin was patient and kind with her. We will definitely remember this experience. I recommend this experience if you’d like private and chill experience at your place!
Jim A.
Fantastic! We did an in-home class for sushi rolls and nigiri for four people. Chef Justin focused on exactly what we asked for (our favorite rolls) and taught us things we didn’t even know we needed to know. He was funny, smart, talented, and a good teacher. He taught us how to make several different kinds of rolls, how to make nigiri, and then made some special rolls to leave with us. They were delicious! Absolutely worth the cost. We confidently recommend Chef Justin.
Jasper S.
Fantastic! Great food, Justin was really friendly, and we learned a lot.
Molly G.
We loved our experience with Chef Justin. The sushi we made was delicious, and it was incredible to learn technique from such a patient teacher. My 13 year old nephew participated with us and he absolutely loved it too. I would recommend this experience and Chef Justin most highly.
Drew B.
We had a great experience with Chef Justin! I would recommend Chef Justin time and time again to friends and family. I surprised my girlfriend with a sushi making night and we had a fantastic experience. Chef Justin was on time and prepared with all ingredients and supplies. He worked with us to accommodate my girlfriend who had gluten and dairy allergies and have similar rolls and sauces she could consume. He set up and prepared in our kitchen space well. He was friendly, joking, but also very serious and focused on his craft. It was so fun to see his technique and skills and he was a great teacher, letting hs try our hand at cutting and rolling. We ate a multiple course meal and both of us LOVED it. The sushi was so fresh and so good. I couldn’t recommend this more to others. Thank you to Chef Justin for such a fun experience!
Sam R.
Chef Justin was amazing! Professional, fun, personable, and very patient with a group of first-time sushi makers - he would be great for a date night, a big party, or anything in between. Highly recommend!

BOOK Chef Justin without hesitation! I initially reached out to Chef Mademaster and was disappointed. I booked, he cancelled a week after, I asked for an explanation in the messages and he NEVER responded. Very rude. I then found Chef Justin and it was a WONDERFUL experience.
Chef Justin was on time and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. He was able to customize the menu for me (I'm vegan my friend isn't) he had multiple options that were tasty.
Hiring Chef Justin was one of the best decisions we made for our event. If you're looking for a private chef who goes above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience, look no further. He's also funny!
Pros:
Exceptional culinary skills
Customized menu tailored to preferences
Professionalism and attention to detail
Friendly and engaging demeanor
Cons:
None whatsoever!
Thanks again Chef Justin!

Justin was a patient and informed teacher who helped me figure out what I had been doing all wrong. It was a fun way to spend an evening even if you’re just interested in observing a chef up close and having a terrific meal along the way made it all the better.
