My boyfriend and I had such a fun experience with this sushi class! Chef Justin was kind and patient, guiding us through various sushi-making techniques. He thoughtfully accommodated my allergies, ensuring the menu was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was well-organized and timely, and most importantly, the sushi we created was absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Chef Justin enough for anyone looking to try their hand at sushi making skills!

Booked this for my 9 year-old goddaughter's birthday present as she has become sushi obsessed lately. She and her cousin did this together and this was the perfect birthday gift. Chef Justin comes to your spot and he was patient, attentive, and charming. The girls had a great time, learned how to make sushi themselves, and made plenty to share. This was an awesome experience, highly recommend!

Justin is fantastic. Punctual and prepared, he facilitated a great birthday event of sushi making for my wife with our friends at home. Highly recommend and we will be reaching out to Justin again in the future.

Chef Justin was great! He really helped make my wife’s birthday special. He also contributed to me trying sushi for the first time and I enjoyed it. He was very personable and turned this novice guy into an honorary sushi chef. I’d definitely recommend his services and my wife and I are already planning our next event with him.

Chef Justin is very funny and engaging. He taught us some sushi making techniques and had more than enough sushi for two meals. Best sushi I have ever had and we walked away having learned a few tricks that we are planning to try on our own.

Chef Justin was absolutely amazing. I booked this experience as a birthday gift for my husband, and it exceeded my hopes and expectations by far! The sushi was delicious, Justin’s teaching and demonstrating was smooth and easy to understand, and Chef Justin himself was a wonderful mix of professional, sociable, and friendly. He was very kind and understanding with our baby fussing throughout parts of the class as well. We highly recommend this class!!

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 :)
