My husband and I had a great time making a few different sushi rolls with Chef Pao. I honestly had never tried making sushi before, because I had assumed it was too complicated. Chef Pao made the whole process very approachable, and we were really pleased with the outcomes of our first ever sushi attempts. The whole class was very organized, the kitchen was super clean, and Chef Pao had a calm and encouraging personality that made the experience fun instead of stressful. Highly recommend!

Chef Pao was super fun and engaging to learn from. He made each step of the process interesting and explained many of the reasons for the ingredient choices and why they are important. I would 100% take more classes from Chef Pao.

Pa was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way! My husband and I really enjoyed the private lesson atmosphere and the variety of rolls. The emphasis of the class was on assembling and rolling, with limited opportunities to slice/cut. This was 100% fine with me (I donâ€™t like using knives much) but if someone is looking to learn knife skills for sushi, this may not be what theyâ€™re looking for. We wrapped up the lesson with getting to eat our hard work along with a lovely salad and mochi ice cream dessert prepared by Pa. Everything about this experience was so chill but fun and Iâ€™d highly recommend Pa to any novice.

Chef Pao was a fantastic teacher! He was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He walked us through making a California roll, spicy tuna roll and salmon roll. He demonstrated how to roll with rice on the inside of the seaweed as well as on the outside. I would highly recommend taking any classes from Chef Pao. Both he and the experience was a delight!

My son and I had a wonderful time with Chef Pao. He was fun and so knowledgeable about the origins of sushi, we got a little education along with the food. He made making sushi so less intimidating than we thought it would be and I finally know how to make rice the right way! Would definitely recommend Chef Pao to anyone wanting to learn to make sushi.

Chef Pao was willing to accommodate me & my girlfriend by switching his typical menu up to include lessons on making Onigiri along with his staple Sushi. We pre-tipped him for his flexibility. He carefully went through how to prepare and where to procure all ingredients. Overall a fun night out, & now we have some amazing skills we can bring back home to our own kitchen.

We had an amazing time learning how to make sushi with Chef Pao! He was so welcoming, well prepared, and knowledgeable about his craft. I didn't know that sushi means vinegared rice. I was under the impression that sushi was the entire dish. Overall this was an amazing experience, perfect date night and birthday gift for my husband and I! This class is great for adults and I would absolutely recommend this class to couples and friends!

Chef Pao helped us make and plate 3 rolls of sushi that were delicious! We had such a fun time learning from him and his expertise. A great date for us!

Ashlyn B.

Booked the class Handmade Sushi and More with Chef Pao in Minneapolis

Chef Pao was very informative and we learned so much about *Maki making (and that sushi only means vinegar rice). We were always under the impression that sushi (maki) was hard to make and something the average person couldnâ€™t do, but chef Pao proved this so wrong! We will definitely be trying this again at home. Was such a fun date night! Would recommend chef Pao start with the salad appetizer at the beginning while he is doing his first intro into sushi / how to make the rice. I showed up hungry and having to make each roll first before eating was taunting! Also, some light music in the background would be a great addition to ease the mood. Overall, would recommend!

We booked a private class with Chef Pao to learn to make sushi. There were five of us in attendance: myself, husband, and three young adult children. It was so much fun! Most of us had never made sushi before and left feeling like we are ready and can't wait to tackle it on our own. The private, intimate setting was ideal, his instruction was very clear, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this class with Chef Pao.
