Chef Made was so kind, knowledgeable, patient, fun, and entertaining! I had such a lovely time and it was the perfect way to spend a Friday night date night. His home was so nice and the set up was perfect for learning the recipes while still having his guidance. The food was of course beyond delicious and I appreciate that he made large portions so we could take leftovers home. I can’t recommend this class enough!

Made was delightful, knowledgeable and a great cook! Our Thai lunch was amazing - and he was fine with stopping mid-activity to answer questions or explain things in more detail. An amazing afternoon!!

Mom!

We had a fantastic dinner experience! We enjoyed the customization of the sushi onsite to give us even more of what we liked, based on the flavors Chef Made saw us enjoying. Thanks for the unique and unforgettable omakase in our own home!

Lara

We had a great time as a family making the sushi!! We all laughed (especially at our less than perfect creations!) It gave us a great basis for sushi creation and we already plan to make our favorites going forward! Great tips on sushi rice and slicing the fish!

Chef Made was fantastic! He led a very thorough and FUN class, answering all of our questions and providing background/ explanations for various prep steps. My group feels confident in their ability to prepare these dishes on their own. Tip: go to class hungry!

Maya

03 Aug 2023

Hi there, Chef was great for us! He was patient, talented and the cooking experience was great for my son and husband, as hoped! He brought the food to cook, having prepped some in advance, and spent time one on one with both my son and husband and some together. My only suggestion would be to have a handout that explains or reinforces things at the end to help memory. Chef's communication to me directly was clear and helpful--a photo of him driving when en route, sent when I asked for confirmation. And he sent a couple of great photos of my son and husband after they made the delicious meal. My sixteen year old was especially proud to learn some cooking--and plate preparation--skills. And he loved the chance to make and eat a meal I cannot!! Chef was GREAT. And so was our experience with him! We will surely do such an event again, and likely try to do a cooking experience with him in particular. He was great with my son and husband, who are both fairly quiet, yet interested in cooking!!

Jimmy

26 Jul 2023

Good job. We gave a tip in person. Thank you

John

12 Jun 2023

Maybe it was different for others, but I had a hard time hearing and understanding the directions given. It would be helpful to slow down and speak more slowly and clearly. It would also be helpful to have more specific instructions regarding what to have ready. We bought the wrong kind of seaweed that was difficult to work with, there were no portions provided for tuna, and got wrong mayonnaise. Frustrating.

Tim

22 May 2023

He was a fun instructor!!

Lindsey

Sushi Chef Made was spectacular. A true rockstar in the flesh - figuratively and literally. We ate like kings, and had a blast learning how to make sushi. We are stoked to put our new found knowledge to work in our own kitchen this week. Chef Made was very genuine, kind, and a gracious teacher & host of his program.

Dear Chef Made Master, My daughter and I truly enjoyed the class. We made a few more California rolls after class and I think we are getting much better at the rolling. Now, to do better with the Salmon cutting. We didn't make the Tuna but I will try that this week. Take care and happy holidays!

Desiree

12 Dec 2022

We asked Chef Made to come for my husbands dinner. He was patient and encouraging and showed us a lot of tips and tricks. The sushi was delicious and so fresh!

Carna

13 Nov 2022

Great class in technique. Answered a lot of questions I had about making this at home, puts my mind at ease knowing if I get posted away from good food again, I can recreate recipes myself. To the chef: sorry I wasn’t talkative! I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, I was trying to follow along and clean up my workstation at the same time! ? Thanks for all the good tips. It was a class that will stick with me.

Sean

Anuja

This was a fascinating experience for my husband and me to learn sushi making from scratch. The chef was extremely friendly and showed us so many interesting techniques. It’s unbelievable how amateur cooks like us could create a fancy platter like what we eventually pulled off.

Chef Made Master was fantastic. He is one of the most humble and accommodating chefs that I have met. He is talented but really makes him a tier ahead is that he is not cocky and is willing to answer even the “stupid” questions. The food was fantastic while the presentation was stupendous. Made my wife’s 40th bday memorable for life.

Dennis

26 Jul 2021

Chef Made and his assistant arrived right on time and spent the next two hours setting up the most amazing sushi presentation I've ever seen. The fish was superb, and several people commented that it was the best they'd ever had of each variety. He is very personable and highly talented...amazing to have a top restaurant chef here in our home. Definitely a lifetime memory.

Becca

10 Jul 2021

Made was an absolute pleasure. Equally skillful, kind, and a wonderful teacher and mentor. If you’re looking for a good time, great food and better vibes Made is the guy for you. 13/10

Mar

09 May 2021

Chef Made is clearly a sushi expert and guided our group through the steps to prepare and make and the sushi. He was always happy to help answer questions and checked in with us as we progressed. We had to scramble a bit to gather bowls and plates as we went along, so it might be handy to let participants know ahead of time what to set out beforehand.

Aleeza

14 Mar 2021

Victoria

03 Feb 2020

We had a great experience in Made's class. We had never made sushi in any professional way before. He took his time to explain everything to us, including writing a few things on a white board. His knife skills were VERY impressive and he made several funny jokes to make us all feel relaxed. The sushi came out delicious, and we are confident that we could make it at home now. Our only suggestion would be to add some light background music so there won't be complete silence in the pauses between steps or while eating. Overall, we had an amazing time and would recommend Chef Made's Maki Mania class to others.

Max

27 Jan 2020

What a great experience! Chef Made was a fantastic teacher and we had a great time. He showed up with everything we needed and then walked us through every step in the process expertly. He was friendly, funny, and easy going. I would recommend enthusiastically and without reservation.

Carly

My girlfriend and I went to Chef Made Master's house and even though it was just the two of us we had an absolutely great time. Chef Made was a very gracious host and obviously a great teacher as well. He did a good job of making the class fun, and the sushi we ended up making was delicious, so I definitely recommend booking this class with him if you're looking for a fun way to learn how to make (and eat!) some sushi.

John

29 Jun 2019

Chef Made Master was AWESOME! He was extremely welcoming and friendly, explained sushi terminology and history and taught us the right want to prepare rice!

Lois

Lisa Chi

03 Jun 2019

I took the intermediate sushi making class with Chef Made Master in his home. First off, his home was very clean and inviting with individual stations for me and my boyfriend. When we were arrived, we were super excited to experience this private cooking lesson! Chef Made Master was a very knowledgeable and patient sushi instructor. From preparing the rice to rolling the sushi, this class encompassed all the skills needed to make sushi. We learned how exactly to mix the rice with vinegar along with the different types of knife cuts for the various ingredients. He took his time in explaining the processes and also helped us if we ran into any problems. All of the food that we prepared was delicious and I would definitely take another cooking class with Chef Made Master!

Excellent experience! Chef Made was a patient and kind instructor and taught us all about the sushi making process. We would work through sections of the menu and then take breaks to eat. It was nice that he would adjust the process based on what we were excited to do. More than enough food, we had to take some home and he gave a bottle of sake as a gift. Highly recommend.

Chef Made Master provided us with an unfortgetable and invaluable experience, and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He was so kind, helpful, and encouraging as he patiently instructed us in the art of making sushi. He took time to explain and demonstrate things, while allowing us to be entirely hands on. He is clearly born to teach. He was so knowledgeable about his work, and we learned so many cool things about sushi in general by just talking with him throughout the evening. The atmosphere was positive and relaxed, and we really felt like we were hanging out with a friend. The amount of food he brings is practically bottomless too, so we had tons of amazing leftovers! Best of all, we actually feel like we can make proper and delicious sushi for years to come, all thanks to his help. We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon him! Hire him, you won’t regret it :)

He even went out and brought Toro (Fatty Tuna) because it was my favorite. He kept in great communication the entire time, was very polite and kind, and also brought us a bottle of sake as a gift. If you're still reading this, do yourself a favor and book him now!

Making sushi is an art form. From the cooking and handling of the rice to slicing raw fish, every chef has his own style and techniques. Chef Made is not different. And it is very obvious that he honors and respects his craft. Watching his knife skills at work is almost like watching a ballot. He does't just build unique and visually impressive dishes, he creates and crafts them. And then there is the melding of favors. Chef Made combines traditional sushi styles with new and innovative flavor profiles that he has formulated. That makes watching Chef Made work is the fact that he does all this while keeping up a conversation with his guest. He is shy at first, but its obvious that he likes to engage with his guests, discussing raw fish varieties and why each is used in a a specific dish. Getting to know him is easy. Just ask him about drumming, his other passion.
