Chef Sarah made making sushi super approachable and fun! She was so warm and friendly, and a great teacher. I’d never made sushi before but felt like she explained the methodology really well, as well as proactively answering questions about sourcing ingredients and equipment. I feel ready and excited to host my own sushi party. Thanks, Chef Sarah!

Fun! I don’t know who’s responsible for the space the class is held but I didn’t love it. Seemed dark and a bit cramped. Good to see and experience some basic skills for sushi making. Sarah was great.
