I went to Chef Nate's sushi class for a team building activity and it was great! We had a group of 6 and were able to sit together and make some delicious sushi rolls. Chef Nate gave clear instructions and was very hands on when teaching us. I would definitely recommend this class for a work activity, date night, or group of friends. We got to make plenty of rolls and Chef Nate let us take home extras until all the ingredients were out. Very fun experience!
