Roll up your sleeves and learn how to roll your own sushi under the guidance of a professional chef!

With Chef Greg as your guide, you'll discover how easy it is to make sushi at home using high-quality ingredients and tried and true cooking techniques. You'll begin by blackening ahi tuna then rolling it into your first sushi roll, then you'll make a second seafood-centric roll featuring spicy shrimp, and a crispy Asian vegetable roll you'll want to re-create at home for family and friends to enjoy.

Had a great class with Chef Greg and some delicious sushi! I would definitely take another class with him and would go back and visit the Wine Collective!

Class was only about an hour long. The rest was instructor talking about himself. Needed clearer instructions. Several people took more than their portion of ingredients and others were left with none.

Worst cooking class I have ever taken. If zero out of 5 star was an option to select thats what I would choose. Sushi rice was cold, the teacher knew nothing about sushi, I felt like I knew more about making sushi than the actual teacher. I will NEVER order cooking lessons through classpop or groupon. HUGE waste of money and time. I would have rather have gone out to a nice restaurant for $110. I would not recommend. Felt like I got scammed/robbed.

I had an excellent time with Chef Greg. I love how personable he is, and I loved hearing about how he became a chef. I think Chef Greg did an awesome job being able to critique us without making us seem like we're just doing a bad job all together. Sushi rolling is a tough skill, so I admire the patience Chef Greg had, because if he's teaching these classes for beginners every week, you need a lot of patience. haha. I enjoyed my time, and recommend taking Chef Greg's class - whatever culinary class he teaches.

If you're searching for a sushi-making class that defies all expectations, look no further! I recently attended what can only be described as a culinary comedy extravaganza that left me in stitches (and with a questionable sushi roll). Firstly, the undercooked rice was a bold choice. I've always believed that al dente should be reserved for pasta, but clearly, this chef is a trendsetter. It added an element of surprise to each bite – you never knew if your teeth were going to meet fluffy perfection or a crunchy surprise. Bravo! The absence of plates was a stroke of avant-garde brilliance. Who needs the formality of porcelain when you can experience the delicate art of balancing sushi on a plastic tablecloth? It's the kind of experience that makes you question the very essence of tableware. Truly groundbreaking! Now, let's talk about our culinary guide, the maestro of confusion. The chef's apparent lack of expertise in sushi-making was nothing short of a performance art piece. It was as if he was discovering the art of rolling for the first time, right before our eyes. Kudos to him for embracing the spirit of improvisation! But here's the kicker – the comedic joy and laughter that ensued throughout the class were worth every penny. The chef's unintentional humor turned what could have been a disaster into a sidesplitting affair. I haven't laughed that hard since my last stand-up comedy show. In conclusion, if you're looking for a sushi-making class that transcends the boundaries of traditional culinary expectations, this is the one for you. It may not have been the masterclass in sushi perfection I anticipated, but the laughs, the rice surprises, and the absence of plates made it an experience I'll cherish forever. Who knew a sushi class could be so delightfully absurd? Highly recommended for those who appreciate a good culinary joke!

I received this class as a gift and unfortunately I was really disappointed. Honestly it felt like he didn’t know what he was doing. We only made 2 sushi rolls and made Vietnamese spring rolls. The rice he brought was undercooked and hard. He himself had a lot of trouble rolling the sushi and blamed it on the nori. Definitely not worth the price or trouble of coming to Scottsdale. We also ended with more than 30 minutes extra.

Honestly there were not enough seats for 4 people. We ended up leaving. Chef was very nice and i dont want to bash him. We were 5 minutes late and there was no where to sit and everyone already had drinks and were well into the process which is confusing why it didnt start at 4. We traveled all the way from san tan valley and had to leave.

The location was in the middle of a random pizza joint. We were making sushi on top of styrofoam plates. The experience was ok, but we expected it to be a bit classier. The chef was okay. He seemed to know the basics but didn’t describe each step very well. He had to repeat it a few times before we understood. I’m not sure we’d do something like this through your company again. It seemed low grade for how much we paid.

The event could have been executed better. The chef had the entire class share two containers of water to dip their hands in to help spread the rice without it sticking to your hands (this was kinda gross as not everyone had washed their hands). When people requested for gloves, he seemed to get offended about it and stated that real chefs don't use gloves. We ran out of ingredients and there weren't enough supplies for the amount of people that showed up. For instance, the entire class had to keep passing around just 2 knives just so all 20+ could use them to cut veggies, raw fish, and the rolls. He was quite rude to one girl about how she made her sushi even though it was probably everyone's first time.

Poor sanitary conditions surrounding the food, the class size was much too large for the size of the venue, and there was not enough food prepped.

I don’t even want to give one star. This was a scam. The chef did not show up and the venue said this was the second time this has happened. I would not use this company again.

It's unfortunate, because Chef Greg, was a NO SHOW! Already emailed about getting a refund. Only 1 star, more for the hosting site, Helton Brewing Co, in Phoenix. Great, rustic, urban decor and atmosphere, great beer flight and appetizer, I ended spending while there after waiting an hour. This wa as part of experience, theme Christmas gift for my husband, that some would consider a total bust. But...we made the best of it and will await refund and really should get something extra for the 30 min drive there and wait! Kim McCarthy

The class was scheduled to start at noon at Helton Brewing today. The owner of the venue hosting Golden Apron, Brian Helton called Chef Greg at least a dozen times with calls going straight into voice mail. The class was completely full; we all finally left about 12:45pm. Chef eventually showed up at 1:10pm claiming he was told started at 1pm. (still late)-Chef Greg went to his car to show proof of his confirmation email of 1 pm start time yet got in his car and left instead without any apology or further communication. I paid for 4 people and expect a full refund.($180) We wasted our money and time waiting-very unprofessional and disappointed with Golden Apron. Brian Helton, the owner of Helton Brewing was very responsive to the class and did all he could to reach Chef Greg and even your corporate office-needless to say it was a extremely frustrating experience for the venue hosting as well as all of us who paid for the class.

This was such a wonderful experience for my girlfriend and me! Chef Greg taught us so many great cooking tips and let us take the helm on preparing the appetizer and dinner. The food was amazing and he seemed to have as much fun as we did. He shared his experience through the years and fun stories in the kitchen, including how he finds inspiration for new recipes with sauces/seasonings to match them. I would highly recommend anyone to take this class - whether as a date or group event!

Very nice man but there is no charcuterie board training and the fresh mozz isn't like how we made in NJ or Italy. No recipes shared unless you ask. Still fun but I won't go back.
