Booked the class Sushi-Centered Feast with Chef Krong in Del Mar

Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty. Iâ€™d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Booked the class Beginner-Friendly Sushi with Chef Paulo

We took the sushi class and learned how to do three types of rolls and hand rolls. Chef Paulo was super knowledgeable and approachable. It was a really fun experience learning how to cook the rice, cut the fish and other fillings, and learn how to roll them. We are all beginners and he helped make sure all of us were able to complete all of our rolls. I would absolutely recommend the class and chef Paulo personally

Booked the class Vegan Sushi for All with Chef Paulo in San Diego (Downtown)

Chef Paulo was awesome!! He was spot on in teaching us the basic of sushi making so we can make a variety of sushi rolls in the future. And we got a bonus of learning to make a hand roll. He was also very flexible and responsive in working with us on the menu/fish options. 10 stars would highly recommend and do it again!

Booked the class The Complete Guide to Sushi Making with Chef Stacy D. in Coronado

Chef Stacy was incredible! We had an amazing lesson on vegan sushi. Stacy was easy going and provided excellent instruction, and made the most of our small kitchen space (don't feel like you can't do this if you have a small kitchen- ours is tiny and she made it work effortlessly!). My fiance bought this as a birthday present and it was by far my favorite gift! Now we have the skills we need to make vegan sushi at home any time. Stacy is a delight. Thank you!!!

We booked the Sushi 101 skills class with chef Zack. We had a fabulous time! Chef Zack was amazing, super professional, polite and so incredibly knowledgeable about Sushi. We enjoyed ourselves 100%. He is a very skilled chef. He was patient and kind with us. Shared great tips etc.. to make this class so fun, enjoyable and help expand our cooking skill set! I'd highly recommend chef Zack for any sushi classes. The sushi we had was awesome and full of wonderful flavors.

What a cool, fun night! I loved how Zach was knowledgeable, and helpful with his information, but was also laid back and an overall good time. All of the couples there had a bunch of laughs and we really got to learn the basics of sushi making. Weâ€™d love to come back!

Started late and disorganized, but was an excellent class once we got going. Zach was fun to chat with and a great teacher. The sushi was delicious and we were stuffed by the end. Weâ€™d definitely take another class from him.

Had a fantastic time in Zachâ€™s class, where he walked us through making three sushi courses in a very beginner-friendly fashion. I took the class during a vacation and would recommend this to anyone visiting the San Diego area.

Omg. We loved it! I surprised my friend for his birthday and we highly enjoyed it. We made a few different style rolls and they were fresh and delicious. I was very full and got to bring my own alcohol. Zach was an excellent teacher and host. I will definitely be be using him for my birthday as well as going to his restuarant regularly. Thanks again Zach!

I cannot explain how much I loved his class. He's such a warm human being and is so PASSIONATE about what he does that it's infectious! I was making hand rolls, and laughing because I was actually doing it! I was actually making a sushi hand roll! What a great class and a GREAT teacher.

Jenny V.

Booked the class Next Level Sushi Skills with Chef Zach in San Diego (College West)

I took my husband to the Next Level Sushi Class with Chef Zach and left feeling a bit disappointed. I will preface this with the fact that Iâ€™ve done many cooking classes so Iâ€™m comparing this experience to previous life ones. While we did learn a few things, there were many ways this class fell short. Intros. The Chef did not introduce himself or care to get to know anyone in the class. He mentioned it had been a long weekâ€¦ maybe thatâ€™s why he seemed apathetic. Description. The class description did not match the experience. While the description noted weâ€™d be learning to garnish and create sauces for the sushi, none of that was done. This was essentially Chef Zachâ€™s 101 sushi class repackaged and sold at a higher price - we paid $20/person more to eat crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e at the end. Even that would have been okay if we had learned to make the Green Tea crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e, as the description insinuated. Instead, he passed around pre-made vanilla crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e. Location. Nobody in the class knew weâ€™d be outside for this class and none of us were prepared with proper outerwear. It was freezing. A note from the Chef letting us know this was an outdoor location would have made a big difference. I would not participate in another class by Chef Zach. I was disappointed in the experience but grateful my husband found it enjoyable.

The experience was great. I just feel like it was over priced. The experience called for two hours 6-8pm. We didnâ€™t start until 640 and then finished at 740ish. I believe the price should be more around $50. Chef Zach was great however and the food was good.

Chef Krong was warm and friendly. Her helpful tips made it seem like making our own sushi at home was easier than we thought! More importantly, she was able to engage both kids and adults in our sushi experience. We strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially groups with kids.

I surprised my boyfriend with this class and the experience was unparalleled. This was our first class with Chef Zach and it wonâ€™t be the last by far. The experience was beyond what I couldâ€™ve imagined. Zachs instruction was amazing but dare I say the sushi was better! And he made sure we had plenty of it to eat. We left as two very full, very happy customers and 50/10 would recommend to our friendsâ€¦ and we already have! We canâ€™t wait for round two

Booked the class A Taste of Tokyo with Chef Sarah

Cooking with Chef Sarah was amazing! There was a wide variety of different flavors influenced from multiple cultures in her dishes. Chef Sarah is an amazing teacher, she's very helpful and patient, walking you through every step during the class. You can see how passionate she is about cooking and you can taste that in the food you are making. All these dishes are great for family weeknight dinners. I would definitely recommend Chef Sarah and her courses to everyone! It was such a great experience!

Chef Stacy is very easy to talk with. We were looking for something very casual, and it was great -- but clear she could also be more formal as desired. She was very tidy and brought everything we needed. She encouraged us to give our ideas for rolls as well. Very fun night.
