We LOVED our sushi roll making session with Chef Pao! It was so fun to learn from a professional, experienced, and patient teacher! In home environment felt special & authentic vs a formal classroom.

Betty

15 Jul 2025

We had such a great time at the Asian Appetizers cooking class! Chef Pao was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun and approachable. We learned how to make and roll both spring rolls and egg rolls, everything was hands-on, and the food was delicious. We had plenty to eat and even brought some home! One thing to note: we were a bit surprised when we arrived and realized the class was held in a residential home. We called the company, who confirmed it was Chef Pao’s home and the correct venue. It all worked out fine, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time for planning and expectations. That said, we’d definitely take another class with Chef Pao. Highly recommend for anyone who loves learning new cooking skills in a relaxed setting!

Brian

03 Jul 2025

Class was a blast, learned two different ways to roll sushi, ingredients were fresh and delicious. Chef Pao was highly out knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Had a blast planning on doing it again.

Jonathan

Shenelly

Super fun! Chef Pao was very knowledgeable and took his time in explaining every step. Highly recommend!!

Jill

30 May 2025

It was a very fun course. Chef Pao was very interesting and guided us well making the sushi. It was a lot easier than I previously thought. And delicious. I dropped 1 star for the location - we were not in the "usual" room due to another commitment and the backup room was not nearly as nice. Nevertheless, the class was fun, informative, and tasty.

Tiffany

29 May 2025

Super fun would highly recommend this! The chef was so cool and helpful

Mary

29 May 2025

Chef Pao was very welcoming and kind, easy to work with! This was a nice, private class with one other couple, and very basic - beginner skills learned. Not the class for you if you're looking to become an artisan sushi master but the perfect class to take to demystify the basic technique and to instill confidence to try making your own sushi at home. After this class, I feel 1000% confident that I can go out and get ingredients and make my own - Chef Pao gave lots of suggestions for local places to find ingredients.

Sheila

29 May 2025

Great instruction on how to prepare sushi - very thorough and explained simply. I feel that i could easily make it now. The setup of plastic ware and presentation was a bit glaring. It came off as a low grade operation. Investing in bowls and such from the dollar store would have gone a long way. The lack of a lid to bring the food home too was surprising. Because of these things, I wouldn’t do it again but I will say that Pao was very gracious and patient with his explanation. I think he could go far with experience and dishes

Edith

26 May 2025

Fun class!

Shirley

18 May 2025

Chef Pao is very pleasant, and very good at conveying the how and why of preparing his dishes, leaving us eager to try them on our own at home. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Beth

06 May 2025

Chef Pao does a really nice job of making Thai look easy! The ingredients are fresh & delicious too. Very fun date night.

Curtis

02 May 2025

Chef Pao did a great job conducting the sushi class at Torg Brewery. He had all of the ingredients at each place, went through the procedures in a very organized way and made the learning process very easy. Overall a good experience.

I had such a wonderful experience at this sushi-making class! The Chef Pao was not only an excellent host, but also incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He created a warm, welcoming environment that made everyone—from beginners to more experienced cooks—feel comfortable and engaged. The step-by-step guidance was clear and informative, and Chef Pao was always available to answer questions. You can tell he truly enjoys teaching and sharing his craft. We left feeling more confident in my sushi-making skills and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, delicious, and educational experience!

Erin

15 Mar 2025

Amanda

06 Mar 2025

We thought it would be fun to try something new, and it was! We had a small group (4 attendees) so it went by pretty quick but it was a great time. Chef Pao is very knowledgeable and willing to share his tips and tricks.

Shevell

28 Feb 2025

Thanks Chef, we had a great time!

Therese

19 Feb 2025

Chef Pao was an excellent teacher! In his sushi class he walked through each step slowly and methodically. It was fun learning new skills and the food was delicious!

Brianna

17 Feb 2025

Chef Pao is patient and kind and taught us how to make a California roll and a spicy salmon roll. Although in true Minnesota fashion, we were a very quiet class, it was still a fun and lively way to learn. I really want to say that my sushi turned out perfectly, but that's simply untrue! :) It was delicious, however. I would recommend a class with Chef Pao to anyone looking to try something new and learn a little bit. I would not recommend going by yourself, as the the class was entirely made up of couples - not sure if that's because a cooking class like this makes a great date night so people are self selecting, or the natural anxiety of trying something this new requires a buddy, but bring your partner/mom/friend/tinder date along for the ride. Enjoy!

Steve

16 Feb 2025

Awesome class ! Very informative and very casual. Great date night

Kailey

Allie

15 Feb 2025

Lisa

31 Jan 2025

Great class! We will book again.

Seth

24 Jan 2025

Did not properly explain this was just in a private home and refused refund when we were uncomfortable attending

Kristina

24 Jan 2025

Chef Pao and this class was great! I was a little skeptical about booking, but it was a legit experience and you made two rolls per person. Definitely something I could go do at home now! The only strange part was the location.. very unique bar on the second floor of a commercial building. Don’t go for the atmosphere, but go because you’re looking for a fun and affordable date night!

Danelle

23 Jan 2025

Chef Pao was fantastic! The class took place at his home, where he made us feel incredibly welcome. There was one other couple there, creating an intimate and enjoyable atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible, and he taught us how to make sushi rolls that turned out amazing. I highly recommend taking a class with him!

Linda

Will

19 Sep 2024

As someone who loves sushi and likes to occasionally dabble in making it I actually learned a couple good tricks of the craft and I enjoyed the class. I originally bought it for my girlfriend and I but ended up being single so I went with my mom. We had a beer at the brewery and ended up having a great time. Chef Pao was eager to answer questions and help us through the process. Highly recommend.

John

06 Sep 2024

Fun!

Samantha

09 Feb 2024

We always enjoy Chef Pao's classes. They're informative and fun and there's always plenty to eat after! He can accomdate for vegetarians as well, so it is really inclusive. The potstickers class was fun and it was great to eat the food you made yourself. He also told us where we could buy the ingredients so we could keep up/practice our new skills at home. We'll keep an eye out for the next one!

Samantha

29 Jan 2024

Chef Pao's sushi class was great! We did the 5 course one (soup/salad, 3 rolls, mochi for dessert) and it was a TON of food. My mother even brought home her leftovers. The rice and veggies are precut/cooked but honestly I didn't come to a class to learn to cut things, I wanted to learn how to roll sushi, so this delivered! We learned two different ways of rolling sushi and it's a lot harder than it looks. Chef Pao gave us a thorough explanation on sushi in general and how to get the ingredients locally and was very encouraging. Some people in our class were better than others and he was very flexible on how to make our rolls presentable or if we missed a step he helped us adjust. We were very fortunate to take a class that was smaller sized and we got along well with the other group so at the end when you got to eat your own creations (you eat the rolls you specifically make), it was more like a meal with friends. Could not speak more highly of this class enough, we told everyone about it. Such a good deal for what you pay for. We signed up for another one of Chef Pao's classes and we're very excited for it!

Richard

27 Jan 2024

Liz

We had an amazing time with Chef Pao’s Sushi Class. We learned a lot about the different ingredients and what prep steps were important to make your rolls turn out clean. Definitely going to stop by for another class of his at some point in the future.

Benjamin

26 Dec 2023

Jennifer

11 Dec 2023

Was a great class. Really enjoyed Chef Pao and thought he did a great job. The only thing that could have been different to make it a little more interactive is to cut up the veggies ourselves. Overall loved it and would do another class.

Kalley

10 Dec 2023

They turned out really yummy!

Sam

08 Dec 2023

Chef Pao was extremely kind and a great teacher. Our kids 11 and 8 were part of this class and he took all the time they needed to feel supported and excited. Highly recommend a class with him!

Julia

05 Dec 2023

Unfortunately, the pot stickers class was not really a cooking class. Everything came pre-prepped so we didn't learn how to actually make the filling or any new sauces. Also - this class was labeled as "pot stickers" which are typically lightly friend then steamed. The ones we made were completely deep fried (not matching the photo), so we only were able to eat a couple of them and left hungry.

Devika

01 Dec 2023

This class was, unfortunately, not really a cooking class. The filling was made by the chef ahead of time, the wraps were purchased at a grocery store, and there were no sauces made from scratch. It was not interactive, and the chef seemed very distracted and disorganized, leaving us to fend for ourselves when it came to the cooking portion (which was just deep frying the potstickers). While the chef is incredibly kind and I enjoyed the few minutes I spoke with him, I would not recommend this class to anyone looking to learn the art of making potstickers (or any cooking skills).

Larry

21 Nov 2023

Chef Pao is a true professional and very organized. We very much enjoyed Chef sharing history, terminology, knowledge with us all. Booking through Classpop was also very easy. Thanks Chef Pao and Classpop! We will be back!
