Date night with my boyfriend and Chef Cocoa was a lovely experience. I gifted him this Cozymeal sushi class, and we had so much fun prepping and rolling sushi. It turned into a very filling dinner â€” we even had to take some to go. The class was well organized and easy to follow, with a great group of people. The ambiance at Chef Andyâ€™s place was great, plus easy parking. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend :)

Great experience! My nephew (15 yo) and I came in with no background and pulled off some pretty good sushi thanks to Chef Andy's guidance and chill attitude.

Chef Andy exceeded our expectations for the Sushi making class. He was very pleasant to be around, made us feel comfortable and provided so much value whether it was the teaching us how to make the sushi, educating us on the history, techniques and even helping clean up after! We're definitely going to cook with Andy again, and are sure to recommend his classes to anyone interested. Thanks! -Ben&Sam

Had a WONDERFUL sushi experience with Chef Andy! He was very knowledgeable on food history as well as cooking techniques. He is easy to talk to and keeps the class fun and interesting. I definitely feel that I could take what he taught me in the class and create sushi on my own! Will be booking again

I had booked 'Sushi Adventures' for our anniversary night with Chef Suarez in March 2019. Chef Suarez was communicative and arrived on time. He has a great sense of humor which made us very comfortable with him early on. He walked us through each step of the sushi making process and made it fun and simple. Needless to say that not only sushi turned out great but I also learned great techniques from him. I can never forget the great experience we had. I would recommend this to anyone reading this review.

Chef Andy and this class were amazing. We learned really useful knife skills and received great instruction on how to roll sushi. To add, the end-product was amazing, and we will certainly be trying this out ourselves. He is a great person and made the class a blast.

Chef Andy's sushi making class exceeded expectations. I've only attempted to make sushi one other time early on in the pandemic to develop new hobbies/skills and failed. Knowing what I know now from Chef Andy (and Chef Emily), I'm ready to give it another shot! Chef taught us basic knife handling skills, tested our palates, and, of course, how to make a simply delicous maki roll. Early on in our class, it was evident to us that Chef Andy is really dedicated to his craft; which was nothing short of passionate and made the entire experience immersive and all the more enjoyable. Chef's apartment provided all of us with plenty of room and the atmosphere was most comforting. Thank you for teaching us what to look for when we order sushi at restaurants, how to tell what sushi grade fish is, and for recommending the types of knives to buy without breaking the bank. We certainly look forward to signing up for future classes to dive into other cuisines. Thank you for everything!

Chef Andy's sushi class was fun, delicious, & informational. He's extremely knowledgeable about ingredients, techniques, & the food he's making, & I definitely left with a heightened appreciation of sushi & cooking. I would definitely do another class with him!

Such a great experience! Loved the sushi class, this was a great birthday gift. Chef Andy was very welcoming and attentive, he found the perfect balance between explaining/demonstrating and having us try cutting and rolling the sushi. I especially appreciated that Chef Andy was open to questions and was deeply knowledgeable on all the food related topics we were interested in. We each got to make our own roll and nigiri, as well as tried quite a bit of sashimi. Left with new information and new skills! The atmosphere is cozy and the group size of 4 was perfect.

This was a great Friday night activity that was a nice change up from the typical dinner and a drink. Chef Andy is a very personable and down to earth person. The class is meant to be interactive and once we and the others participated it was a great time. Andy is clearly knowledgable and experienced, making the class very useful. We learned not only about sushi and how to make the rolls themselves, but also some knife skills and suggestions of how to find the best fish in the city. The class is also BYOB which is a cool perk and saves you some dough. All in all, it was a fantastic time. My girl and I will definitely be booking a class with Chef Andy again and next time will book the whole class with friends. Highly recommend!

I didnâ€™t realize this would be at chefs house but thatâ€™s probably bc I didnâ€™t read the information. Being at his house, which was clean and cozy, it was like more personal experience. Heâ€™s very knowledgeable.

Awesome experience with Chef Andy! We did the class as a Christmas present for 2 kids, ages 9 and 10. Chef Andy simultaneously engaged with 2 kids and 3 adults in a way where everyone learned new techniques and had fun together. In particular, Chef Andy taught us all knife skills tailored to each person's level. The kids also explored sushi and were able to create rolls they enjoyed based on their individual taste preferences. They also loved making the crepes and even had enough left for a special breakfast the next day. A very fun evening and would definitely do it again!

Chef Andy's class was not only informative and helped me hone some of my knife skills, but also a lot of fun and a great way to spend an evening if you enjoy cooking or trying new things. He's a great host with a lot of knowledge about food and sushi, and his passion really stands out among chefs. I will likely be going to another of his classes and bringing others to enjoy. And of course the best part, my personally made sushi was delicious!

I got the sushi cooking class for my Dad for Fatherâ€™s Day! My boyfriend, family and neighbors and I LOVED the sushi and the class over all!

Thank you again and we really enjoyed itb

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time at our private sushi making class hosted by Chef Andy at his new venue in Chicago! Chef Andy is super friendly and personable, and very knowledgable about various cuisines and cooking techniques. The class was super interactive and the sushi that we made was delicious! We learned so much from his class, and I now feel confident enough to make sushi at home. Thank you for a great experience Chef Andy, we would love to attend another one of your classes in the future!

Chef Andy came to our office to host a sushi class for our company and we had such a great time! It was a great mix of being of hands and also being able to socialize and eat delicious food.
