Location wasn’t quite what I expected, but Chef Monica was just the sweetest. I really enjoyed a solo date night learning how to make pasta. Immediately went online to buy my own pasta maker. Thank you for your kind attitude and sharing your passion. The pasta and experience was *chef’s kiss*!

Excellent experience! Loved the two sushi rolls we made. Chef Monica gave us easy-to-follow instructions and had a very friendly and positive attitude throughout our session! She helped each and every one of us and the whole experience was great. Bonus was the Japanese dessert in the end which was an absolute surprise since one of the participants was celebrating their birthday! Great experience, definitely worth a shot :D
