Chef Dix was very nice, however there was very limited instruction and the demonstrations that were done you were not able to see. It was disappointing that the description was made from scratch sushi but there was no explanation of how the rice was made other than in a rice cooker, the salmon was store bought vacuum packs from giant eagle as were all of the sauces, and there were two bowls with wet towels to wipe off your knife that was expected to be shared by everyone, did not seem like the most sanitary option. It was not even close to what we expected and ended up leaving after making the first roll.

We had a very fun time. Perhaps a little more organization & teaching the art of sushi rolling would be appropriate.
