WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Tampa

Chef Ricky was absolutely amazing! You could tell right away that he was not only very experienced, but extremely knowledgeable about not just sushi, but lots of other food. He set a great atmosphere with music, and a food station set up like you would see in sushi bars, so you did everything that they would do. The rolls came out delicious thanks to his guidance and fresh ingredients! We would definitely take other classes from him.

Chef Danh is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and fun. He was thoughtful and thorough, and we all got the pleasure of hearing about his past experiences as a chef and we all learned so much. I canвЂ™t recommend enough, great experience all around. Thank you, Chef Danh!

Chef Ricky was incredible and surpassed all of our expectations! We have done two classes with him now: both times the food was exquisite, and the information he delivered about food was so fun! He is incredibly knowledgeable about all areas of food and truly enjoys teaching others! We had such a good time the first class, we brought along my brother and SIL for the second class and they were equally impressed. We cannot wait to take more classes with Chef Ricky!

Chef Ricky is super knowledgeable and passionate about his trade. Literally I felt like I was learning so much I had to take photos and movies to help remember it all. He has a great teaching demeanor and was patient with our questions The course is well organized and the location ( although I wish it was closer to st Pete) was very conducive to participating. We utilized many of his tools and had room to circulate allowing a true hands on experience We left with our stomachs full and our palates better trained to truly appreciate good sushi Highly recommend Herb James

I cannot say enough about how fabulous of an experience this was! This was our second experience with Chef Ricky. We hoped it would be an equally exceptional experience. To our surprise, this time far exceeded the previous adventure. Chef Ricky is a great source of information on each technique, the history of each, and how to make a great presentation. But most of all, the food is AMAZING! I have never experienced anything like it. 100 stars!!!

Chef RickyвЂ™s sushi class was AMAZING!! We were impressed as soon as we walked into his beautiful home. Each station in the kitchen was prepped perfectly for us with everything we could need including all ingredients and tools. It was such a calm and relaxing environment which made for the perfect weekend date activity. Chef Ricky was so kind, engaging and knowledgeable and walked us through every step of the sushi process. We really feel like we learned a ton!! And at the end we got to take home our sushi creations and even the mats. Everything was so fresh and tasty - we couldnвЂ™t have had a better experience, right down to his dog saying hello and his sweet wife taking our photo! Thank you Chef Ricky!!

Lisa G.

Could not have asked for a better experience sushi making with Chef Ricky! We learned so much and enjoyed all his stories and tidbits about cooking. We will be back for another one of his classes soon. Thanks, Chef!

This class was so much fun and Chef Ricky is the best! It is in the chefвЂ™s house, so donвЂ™t be alarmed when the maps takes you to a neighborhood. I got this for my boyfriend for a birthday gift and he loved it. There were 6 people in the class, he has a beautiful home with so much space. The spots are nicely setup with everything you need. He teaches you to make sushi from scratch and helps you every step of the way. He is very detailed and will answer any questions you have as well as make sure you are doing everything correctly so no one gets frustrated. You can bring your own drinks, he provides wine glasses and water. The price is absolutely worth it, you make so many rolls of sushi that you eat while you cook and also get to take so much home with you, you will have sushi for days!

Christian A.

Chef Ricky is top class in his art, professionalism, hosting, and personality. Chef Ricky made this experience one of a kind and we would recommend his Omakase class to anyone. I would assume all of his classes are of similar nature which means I would recommend Chef Ricky to anyone. His expertise and knowledge is unbelievable. We will definitely be taking another class with Chef Ricky.

Rachel B.

02/26/2022

An amazing experience, the Chef really outdid himself with the menu! He has such a passion for his craft and a talent for teaching. I love sushi and even had so many things I've never had before. The details, the quality, the inviting kitchen and all the preparation for our class really put a bow on it. You will not find a better way to spend your time! A++++++

Andrea S.

02/23/2022

Chef Ricky was amazing! The sushi rolls were amazing and the smoked soy sauce was so delicious. We learned so much about the history of sushi and about all of the various ingredients. I really felt after leaving the class that I could make sushi at home and impress my friends! I canвЂ™t wait to do another class with Chef Ricky again.

Jason R.

My fiancГ© and I celebrated Valentine's Day this year by taking Chef RickyвЂ™s Sushi Omakase class. The class was amazing! It was very hands-on and we learned about the history of sushi and Japan and how to make delicious food! The kitchen was beautiful and each person had their own setup with ingredients and tools. We brought sake with us to enjoy during the class. The class lasted about 2.5 hours and when we finished, we were FULL. I highly recommend taking this class. Thank you Chef!

01/25/2022

My client Carolyn wrote this as this was for her family of four. We had an amazing sushi class with Chef Ricky. HIGHLY recommend him and his brilliant mind. Not only does he supervise and show you how to make sushi, but he educates you on the history, adding in fun anecdotes and important tips through his wealth of experience in the restaurant field, This is not a lecture class вЂ”- it is hands on fun. Chef Ricky makes the sushi along with you вЂ”- AND you get to eat everything you assemble, with plenty to take home for tomorrow. This mom truly appreciated his detailed attention to clean surfaces and safe preparation. What a great way to spend a family evening вЂ”- even my college-aged kids loved it. Shhhhh вЂ”- donвЂ™t tell anyone вЂ”-but IвЂ™m buying my husband Chef RickyвЂ™s Sous vide class for a Valentines Day gift!

Jeana C.

It was super fun... definitely going to go back and do more classes with them! Loveeeed everything, and it was such a cool experience to cook in their home for a real cozy feel. It was a nice class, with only one other student. So cool to be taught by professional chefs! The nicest, most welcoming people!

Tyler N.

It was a great experience! We took the sushi class and it was amazing! Chef Ricky is very knowledgeable and not only did we learn how to make sushi, but also the history, different kinds, and all about tuna. We had plenty of sushi to take home and I feel quite prepared to do it at alone at home!

12/15/2021

We had so much fun with Chef Ricky that I booked another sushi lesson with a group of clients. We had a group of six. All of my clients had the BEST time!!! After the first roll, everybody felt much more at ease. Chef Ricky plays music that is geared towards sushi (Rolling in the Deep). We learned about the history, ingredients and proper food safety guidelines for preparing sushi. Chef Ricky answered all questions including non sushi questions. His kitchen is perfect for teaching an intimate sushi class. Highly recommend that you book quickly as the spots fill up quick!!! 5 Stars!!!!!!!!

Chef Ricky is amazing! All participants had their own sushi work station. Chef Ricky explained all the ingredients and put everyone at ease. We all made delicious sushi by the end of the class. His music selection went great with the class. I highly recommend this class. 5 Stars

So much fun and we learned a lot too! We will for sure take another class from Chef Ricky. We made plenty of food, so Chef provided take home containers so we can enjoy our sushi later. Thanks, Chef, for a fun cooking experience in your awesome kitchen!

Chef Ricky did a great job! We had a blast & made so much sushi! Everything was fresh & delicious.

Summer S.

Chef Ricky was knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate about his craft. Such a fun and unique dining experience! Definitely worth the cost, considering how many left overs we had and how long we were there! Do yourself a favor and book with chef Ricky for a memorable afternoon you wont soon forget!

Wow, where do I even start. I arranged this for my husband and our best friends to do this class together for his birthday. It was the highlight of his weekend! вЂЁвЂЁWe all agreed that Chef Ricky is a genius. He knows so much about the culture and history behind sushi (do you know what the word вЂњsushiвЂќ even means? YouвЂ™ll find out!) as well as the intricate process and exact ingredients (aka the right ones!) that go into the process of actually creating the sushi rolls. вЂЁвЂЁDEFINITELY come hungry! You make an incredible amount of delicious food. You get to take home what you donвЂ™t eat (which for me was a lot) along with your sushi mat! IвЂ™ve already bought the recommended ingredients so I can make sushi at home! This review is falling short on describing just how good the experience was. I would say it was worth AT LEAST $150 per person. It was really fun, delicious, informative, and Chef Rickie makes the experience enjoyable :) I fully recommend this class to any one who is interested in learning to make sushi!

This was an amazing experience and I look forward to doing this again. The atmosphere of a home definitely makes the experience more "cozy" and inviting! Looking forward to adding my 10 year old to the mix!
