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.

The sushi class with Chef Franco was amazing. Great conversations and learned a lot about how to make quality sushi. Will be recommending him to loved ones :)
