Lucie M.

We made Japanese style ramen with tempura vegetables and squid. We also got to try Lumpia (Chef Janeâ€™s own delicious recipe). We made honeydew fruit jelly, as well as panna cota. It felt like eating luxury food at an old friends home. Chef Jane was so welcoming and kind! Thank you!

We did the Greek Cuisine from scratch class. In this class, we made homemade hummus, salmon, Greek salad and crepes. My 13 Year old granddaughter and I did the class together. Chef Jane did a wonderful job throughout the class making us feel welcomed and valued. She was encouraging and engaging. We had such a great time. We are looking forward to signing up for another class with Chef Jane.

We made vegetable tempura (onion was my favorite), pork belly, and ramen! Chef Jane has a great personality and is very welcoming and easy to get to know. My mother and I enjoyed our time and the great company. Iâ€™m excited to take the tips I learned and apply them to my kitchen at home.

Olivia L.

Chef Jane came to our house and helped us make some delicious Ramen, tempura and dessert. I never knew you could have a chef come to your house for such a reasonable price. Chef Jane was a delight and all the food was amazing. Definitely recommend this fun experience!

BRIANNA G.

We made a 5-course sushi-inspired meal! It included rolling sushi (both vegetarian friendly and premium seafood), making a delicious udon noodle dish, rolling and frying spring rolls, making prawns, and preparing a scrumptious dessert. Our chef was down to earth and encouraged us to be present in the process. He truly instilled within us a belief that we could leave his house and cook our own meals confidently (which we've done). It was truly like cooking with a friend! We vibed to music, talked about life, and made super enjoyable food. This was an experience like no other and I cannot wait to do it again! Thanks, Chef Washington!

arnel a.

Highly recommend this sushi class. Professional guidance, great atmosphere, and valuable skills learned throughout the session!

Chef Fumiko is amazing! Sh made our steamed bun and pot stickers making class such a fun and memorable experience. She was very friendly, patient, and welcoming from the start, which made everyone feel comfortable, even if it was our first time making. She explained everything clearly step-by-step, from preparing the dough to rolling techniques and presentation. You can tell she is highly knowledgeable and truly passionate about what she teaches. She was also very helpful, always checking on us and giving tips to improve our steamed bun and pot stickers without making anyone feel nervous or rushed. Overall, it was an amazing class and I learned a lot. Arnel

Chef Paul was great, detail oriented and answered my questions that had nothing to do with donuts. My nephew and I had a wonderful time. I love the open, bright kitchen and will be back to attend other classes for sure.

The Mediterranean cuisine that we cooked was absolutely delicious. There was so much flavor. Chef Washington not only showed us some valuable cooking skills, but was outgoing and engaging throughout the process. I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Washington. You wonâ€™t regret it.

Moira V.

We cooked an amazing Italian 4 course meal. My favorite thing was learning the tidbits of cooking and feeling like I was in a safe inclusive environment. It was clean, intimate and I really enjoyed this unique experience. Chef L was a big part of the reason it was great, he was funny, smart, & made things simple and enjoyable.

Michael P.

With all of the prep work done by Chef Dean, we had hand made mandu (dumplings) with help, and guidance from Chef Dean, followed by bulgogi beef gimbap, and finally mini bundt style rice cakes with red bean past, flame grilled pineapple, nuts, and an amazing ginger sorbet. And he even packed the leftovers for us to bring home, along with printed recipes of everything so we can repeat the experience. We highly recommend this and Chef Dean if you are looking for a unique experience.

My husband and I attended the sushi making class. It was extremely informative and we learned SO MUCH. Chef was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the history of sushi making and the whole process of sushi-making. We were there for almost 4 hours and standing the whole time. So eat beforehand bc you wonâ€™t be eating until around 8:30-9ish. Highly recommend this experience!

This was a very fun experience given to me by my daughter as a Christmas gift. We cooked Mediterranean fare and ate like Queens. This was a fun cooking lesson and a delicious meal. This would be a great girls night out or even a date night for a couple. I learned a lot of delicious ways to flavor my food with spices instead of salt.

We absolutely loved this class with Chef Shinya! We made gyoza, miso soup, and an awesome rice dish. We learned so much and I actually think I could make gyoza at home now. Chef Shinya was so nice, fun, and informative. Loved it!!

Tom S.

We cooked a selection of Japanese dishes including multiple appetizers, a main entree, and a desert, all lactose free! Chef Dean was very pleasant and patient. He took time to make sure we were able to make each dish. A really fun evening!

We got a gift certificate and chose to learn to make pot stickers and steamed buns with Fumiko. Fumiko was very knowledgeable and friendly in her private cooking kitchen. We really enjoyed our class and we got to make delicious food.

The recipe for the buns is unique and worked very well. They came out well; very light - including the cinnamon buns. The pot stickers also worked well. The class was well paced and we received copies of the recipes.

What are great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My adult kids and I had a wonderful time cooking Thai food with Chef Washington and Jane. Definitely recommend!

Stephanie P.

10/10 experience. Chef Washington worked really well with our group and we all ended up learning something new. Would definitely take more of his classes.

Alexandra M.

What a fun experience! Jane and Chef Washington were so much fun! We learned so much and had a great time. Great option for a group event!

Paige V.

We had a great time with chef and the food was very tasty. We would do it again!

Amazing family activity that we did together as a family for Motherâ€™s Day. Chef and Jane put their heart and soul into hosting us in their home, and gave us a night to remember. Highly recommend!

Jacob B.

Chef Washington was so accommodating and helpful. I'd never rolled sushi or created a roll before and he was a great teacher. My partner was running late and he was flexible and made sure he was caught up and able to get the full experience. The sushi was great and the family atmosphere was very wholesome. Definitely an experience I'd recommend to anyone.

Blakeley P.

The cooking class exceeded our expectations. I booked it for my husbandâ€™s bday present and Chef Dean made the whole experience very special! Also, Chef Dean is from the same island, as my husband. He truly treated us like Ohana. The food was AMAZING. He sent us home with all of the leftovers, so we were able to share what we had created with family. One of the recipes in particular weâ€™re excited to use as our go-to for family gatherings! Itâ€™s impressive but not overly complicated to make now that weâ€™ve made it once. Highly recommend! Thanks Chef Dean!

Christine Ngwiri .

We had the absolute pleasure of being hosted by Chef Dean for a private dinner experience to celebrate my husbandâ€™s birthdayâ€”and wow, it was beyond amazing! From start to finish, the entire evening was filled with joy, flavor, and meaningful connection. Chef Dean is not just incredibly talented in the kitchenâ€”heâ€™s a natural storyteller and teacher. As he guided us in preparing each dish, he walked us through the process with such ease and passion, explaining techniques, ingredients, and even sprinkling in fascinating stories from his culinary journey. We learned so much about Asian cuisineâ€”its diversity, cultural significance, and the personal favorites that inspire Chef Deanâ€™s creations. It wasnâ€™t just a mealâ€”it was a rich, immersive experience that left us not only full, but truly fulfilled. If youâ€™re looking for a memorable and heartwarming culinary adventure, we canâ€™t recommend Chef Dean enough!

Chef Jane did a wonderful job teaching us how to cook the Japanese comfort food. All of the food we ate was really good. Chef Jane was super helpful and answered any questions we had.

Christina C.

Chef Washington was friendly, patten and kind. He was welcoming to me and my teen with special needs, taking extra time to explain steps (sushi making), and keeping up great conversation. Youâ€™ll have fun and learn!

Adrian L.

Thanks to Chefs Jane and Washington for putting together this onsite smorgasbord of Italian cuisine. We loved our time there and made sure to bring enough back to eat the next night as well! Nothing but the best regards for the experience.

Celeste Peterson .

Enjoyed the cooking evening immensely! Tissany used the hour before class to set up thoroughly, brought lots of food, set up stations for each item being cooked, and the results were tasty. Plus, we learned a few new techniques! I would highly recommend her personal cooking class, which was a gift to us. Bonus, she was a kind and fun person to learn from.

Jaime K.

Sushi!

Richard W.

My family (myself, spouse, 2 adult children) took the Tokyo Style Ramen class from Chef Shenya. Chef Shenya is an excellent teacher and very passionate. We learned so much during the class and appreciated his ability to share his knowledge and insights so effectively. Some of the things that really impressed me were: 1. A quality ramen broth takes significant time to prepare. Chef Shenya demonstrated the process and explained what was happening and what to expect. Each member of the class inspected and sampled the ramen broth at different stages and as new ingredients were added. We were literally able to see and taste the flavors developing at each sampling. 2. Chef Shenya explained the importance of quality ingredients and where to obtain them in this area. We have struggled to find the right ramen ingredients and now we know exactly where to look and what to get! 3. Chef Shenya shared his favorite restaurants both in this local area as well as in Tokyo. It is so nice to have this information. I would recommend this class to ramen lovers and groups of ramen lovers. Our class was 6 people and so much fun!

Eric M.

We had a great time. The menu came out delicious! We would book again it was a fun experience. thank you again chef.

Larson W.

The cooking class was fantastic! The instructor explained everything clearly and made the experience fun and interactive. I learned several techniques that Iâ€™ve already started using at home. The ingredients were fresh, the recipes were easy to follow, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking or wants to improve their skills!

Morgan J.

Made a delicious meal! Risotto was my favorite. Great host and fun date night.

Ruben F.

We had a great experience with Chef Fumiko. She was extremely knowledgeable, communicative and kind. We did not have any experience preparing sushi and now have the confidence to do it on our own at home. We learned how to prepare the rice for sushi, and we prepared 3 rolls: a cucumber roll, a California roll and a Seattle roll.

Becca S.

We all loved cooking the risotto! The pork ragu was a bit weird and bland. The dessert was amazing! Overall, my group had a wonderful time and loved the experience.

Tanner C.

Amazing and delicious experience!

Susan B.

Chef Fumiko had everything terrifically organized in her well equipped kitchen. She accommodated our food preferences in her menu. She taught us, included us in the preparations and had well documented, easy to read recipes for us to take home. Her experience and professionalism shine through. Highly recommend. Alsoâ€¦ the food was fresh and delicious! Thank you Chef Fumiko.
