Essential Sushi Skills

Chef Thomas was a great instructor. Very helpful while also very knowledgeable. I would recommend your company give him a microphone as there were times could not hear what was saying as he tried to address a group of 18 people.

Chef Thomas did a great job

Chef Thomas was great! Super helpful and engaging. Would definitely recommend to friends!

Excellent experience. Instructor was entertaining and informative. Demonstrating how to make the sushi and what ingredients to use. Enjoyed eating while learning. Only minor detail is maybe a microphone on the venue where the class was a little noisy.

I really enjoyed this sushi making experience! Our instructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. We made 3 different types of rolls; each one was delicious! He even let us do a little extra. I highly recommend this class!

Chef Thomas made the whole sushi rolling experience welcoming and comfortable. He was so encouraging throughout the whole evening. We loved learning about the three types of rolls, the history of how sushi even started, and insights on what sushi grade fish actually means. We highly recommend this class as a fun and enlightening and delicious experience. The only recommendation we have is for Chef to wear a mobile microphone w an amplifier as it was tough to hear him at times due to the background noise of the venue. Thank you Chef Thomas!

While the environment was challenging, Chef Thomas did great - even when the fire alarm went off. It was fun learning how roll sushi and legit was plenty of food too.

Chef Thomas was awesome! My partner and I came for a fun date night, but ended up learning a lot. We hope we can do another class with Chef Thomas soon!

Chef Thomas was awesome! He’s a very well rounded chef who explained the intricacies of sushi making in an easy to learn way. We learned about the history of sushi as well as the techniques to make different rolls. We were stuffed leaving his class!

Overall, I enjoyed the class and experience. There are somethings I would note, such as arrival and set up time. Because I didn't want to be a "straggler" or a disrupter (my arrival interrupting a class already in progress), I planned to leave my home to account for traffic, finding parking as well as the location of the venue, since the instructions say to arrive 15 minutes before class starts to check-in. I was waiting well after 4:45PM check-in time and wasn't 100% sure if we were in the right place. I would've liked to have seen better planning and prep (taking consideration for commute/traffic and set up), so that when patrons arrive when instructed, they know they are at the right place. Instead, there was waiting and watching of prep and set up. It was also hard hearing everything that was being said. Another thing I would note is to let people know if they shouldn't eat all of the portions being provided for each item being made. I brought my appetite with me as well as my husband, for the class and toward the end, when it was time to make the Hand Roll, we were told to use what we had left over... there was nothing left over we were hungry! We and some other people had to go up and get more cucumbers and carrots - which brings me to another point - that we should not be going to get extra food ourselves. My husband actually saw a person go in with their gloved hands and grab rice directly out of the pot. Food should be controlled by the Chef and he should provide enough portions ahead of time and/or let the class know to save some of what they have for the next item being made. Another thing that comes to mind are the tables. Since we are sitting in a common area used by people looking for a place to sit down and eat their food (or just hang out) when there isn't a class, perhaps cleaning the tables before setting them with the items needed or using disposable tablecloths would be something to consider. Several times, the avocado slipped out of my oily gloved hands and onto the table. I am not writing this to be mean, just providing my observations and what I would like to see if I were to go to another class for an even better experience. Chef Thomas is very nice and friendly. He seems to enjoy what he does, which makes the class enjoyable.
