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!!

I seriously cannot recommend Chef Justin enough. He is a true professional, but made the experience so fun and comforting at the same time. The dishes he made/taught us to make were by far the best and most fresh sushi I’ve ever tasted! I would book this experience 10x over again and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun date night or day with friends!

We had an amazing meal and experience with Chef Justin. Chef Justin was very communicative prior to the experience. Chef Justin arrive 15 minutes prior to start time in order to get set up. We helped prepare and ate seafood salad, a few rolls (proteins: salmon, shrimp, crab, beef) and mochi ice cream (green tea, strawberry and vanilla). We learned so much and the meal was beyond delicious. Overall it was the best time and the food was so great we would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Chef Justin!

Sabrina S.
One of the most fun things I’ve ever done! My BF and I have been ravin about it for days. Justin was super helpful, hilarious, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious, and he went above and beyond—chatting with us about anything, taking tons of pictures (so sweet!), and letting us get creative with handrolls + other rolls after making the main menu items. We were in a bit of a rush at the end, and somehow, he cleaned everything up in like 10 minutes. Highly recommend. We were also STUFFED and had leftovers.

Chef Justin was wonderful! He is very nice, clean, and so prepared! We had a wonderful experience learning new cooking techniques. We made a cucumber-seaweed salad and several different sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. He also brought matcha ice cream for us to enjoy later. We loved this experience and definitely recommend!

Justin was just the BEST! He accommodated our change in time very easily, came with everything we could’ve wanted or needed, and struck the perfect balance between teaching and exhibiting his expertise. He answered all our questions, allowing us to feel prepared to identify authentic, quality sushi at any restaurant we may go to now. Service included more sushi than we could finish! The surf and turf roll was so unique and absolutely delicious. He was respectful, light hearted, and just great company. We’re already looking to have him back ASAP.
