Chef Lee was a great teacher for the Sushi class for Beginners. She was patient, friendly, and very encouraging. My husband and I had a great experience taking her class. The sushi and desert were delicious, and we had plenty of sushi after her class that we enjoyed later in the day. We can’t wait to become Sushi CHEFs! Love, the Norments

Great class! So informative and patient! We had a lot of dietary restrictions and she just went with the flow and made happen! I appreciate her and her hubby and her two dogs! Also, I have a tip!

Chef Gilzel is wonderful. I love sushi but I wanted to learn more about it and she was an excellent teacher. She took her time explaining different cuts of fish and how to select the right ingredients, and explained the underlying flavor profiles of each ingredient and how adding different things would change or elevate the dish in certain ways. She is clearly very well versed in all things sushi and it shows! I highly recommend Chef Gilzel if you're interested in learning about techniques and flavors - she was fantastic and I hope to work with her again soon.
