Cooking Class: The World of Sushi

Join Chef Alejandro for a hands-on cooking class inspired by the traditional Japanese art of sushi preparation!


You'll begin by learning trade secrets for selecting the freshest fish for homemade sushi. This gourmet meal takes a modern spin with a multi-course menu of salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri and usuzukuri tilapia — a precise process of very thinly slicing fish. Dessert is the sweet and unique mochi with mango and strawberries.

Chef Alejandro was an excellent teacher for our beginner sushi making class. He was very open to our needs and accommodated my wife's avocado allergy perfectly. He provided a very relaxing and romantic environment as well, just what I was looking for to celebrate her birthday. Take this class (or any others he offers), you won't regret it!

Chef Alejandro spent most of the class socializing with us and attempting to network. I would say there was 30 minutes of actual education. The rice was already made upon arrival. we didn't get to cut any fish or vegetables. I was never sent a PDF of the instructions for making sushi like he had promised. He actually DM'd my partner claiming he didn't have my contact info (I had previously texted with him). He also asked her to be his "assistant" which made us both feel uncomfortable. Overall bad vibes and I will likely not be using classpop again.
