Desiree M. October, 2026

Booked the class Signature Flavors of Thai Fare with Chef Made Master in Centreville

Chef Made welcomed us into his home with opened arms. He was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. He described all the different herbs we would be using in the various dishes we were making. We prepped the herbs and vegetables according to his helpful instructions, while he cut up the meats. Afterwards, we joined him in the kitchen to cook the dishes. He showed all the other ingredients (e.g., mushroom soy sauce), talked about the different types of curry, and answered questions. Then we all took turns adding ingredients, stirring and tasting to make sure the seasonings were correct. After everything was finished cooking, we sat down to a delicious lunch - Panang gai with chicken, Kapow moo with ground pork, Num tok moo with pork - all served with beer (our choosing). While we ate, he prepared our dessert - mango with sweet sticky rice. We had a great time with Chef Made and the others who joined us and the food was fantastic. We also came away with the recipes and the leftovers. It was such a fun afternoon!

Justin was simply incredible! I invited him over as a surprise for my sushi-loving boyfriend. My partner learned a lot from Justin, both from his skills and his life - we loved getting to know him.

I seriously cannot recommend Chef Justin enough. He is a true professional, but made the experience so fun and comforting at the same time. The dishes he made/taught us to make were by far the best and most fresh sushi I’ve ever tasted! I would book this experience 10x over again and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun date night or day with friends!

We had an amazing meal and experience with Chef Justin. Chef Justin was very communicative prior to the experience. Chef Justin arrive 15 minutes prior to start time in order to get set up. We helped prepare and ate seafood salad, a few rolls (proteins: salmon, shrimp, crab, beef) and mochi ice cream (green tea, strawberry and vanilla). We learned so much and the meal was beyond delicious. Overall it was the best time and the food was so great we would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Chef Justin!

Sabrina S. March, 2025

Booked the class Surf and Turf Sushi with Chef Justin in Washington (Columbia Heights)

One of the most fun things I’ve ever done! My BF and I have been ravin about it for days. Justin was super helpful, hilarious, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious, and he went above and beyond—chatting with us about anything, taking tons of pictures (so sweet!), and letting us get creative with handrolls + other rolls after making the main menu items. We were in a bit of a rush at the end, and somehow, he cleaned everything up in like 10 minutes. Highly recommend. We were also STUFFED and had leftovers.
