Chef Justin

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.

Wonderful class, Chef Justin was great and made the whole experience very entertaining. Would 100% recommend

Chef Justin was incredible! We had a wonderful experience with him. He was kind, knowledgeable, and very interactive. The amount of food we got was awesome and we’d love to learn from him again!

My boyfriend and I had such a fun experience with this sushi class! Chef Justin was kind and patient, guiding us through various sushi-making techniques. He thoughtfully accommodated my allergies, ensuring the menu was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was well-organized and timely, and most importantly, the sushi we created was absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Chef Justin enough for anyone looking to try their hand at sushi making skills!

Great food, great experience!

Chef Justin was wonderful! He is very nice, clean, and so prepared! We had a wonderful experience learning new cooking techniques. We made a cucumber-seaweed salad and several different sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. He also brought matcha ice cream for us to enjoy later. We loved this experience and definitely recommend!

Justin is fantastic. Punctual and prepared, he facilitated a great birthday event of sushi making for my wife with our friends at home. Highly recommend and we will be reaching out to Justin again in the future.

Fantastic! We did an in-home class for sushi rolls and nigiri for four people. Chef Justin focused on exactly what we asked for (our favorite rolls) and taught us things we didn’t even know we needed to know. He was funny, smart, talented, and a good teacher. He taught us how to make several different kinds of rolls, how to make nigiri, and then made some special rolls to leave with us. They were delicious! Absolutely worth the cost. We confidently recommend Chef Justin.

Chef Justin was great! He really helped make my wife’s birthday special. He also contributed to me trying sushi for the first time and I enjoyed it. He was very personable and turned this novice guy into an honorary sushi chef. I’d definitely recommend his services and my wife and I are already planning our next event with him.

Justin was just the BEST! He accommodated our change in time very easily, came with everything we could’ve wanted or needed, and struck the perfect balance between teaching and exhibiting his expertise. He answered all our questions, allowing us to feel prepared to identify authentic, quality sushi at any restaurant we may go to now. Service included more sushi than we could finish! The surf and turf roll was so unique and absolutely delicious. He was respectful, light hearted, and just great company. We’re already looking to have him back ASAP.

Chef Justin is a cool guy and a fun presence in the kitchen, but the quality of the food did not live up to our expectations. Rolls lacked flavor, no nigiri, and the mochi was not good.

Had an AMAZING time with Chef Justin. So sweet and genuine, and he knew what he was doing. He is very professional and neat, and came perfectly on time and engaged with all of us. Could not recommend any higher!

Chef Justin was very friendly, an excellent teacher, and very patient with everyone! We appreciated his ability to make accommodations for various dietary restrictions while still offering many options for folks to choose from. He is a skilled chef!

Fantastic! Great food, Justin was really friendly, and we learned a lot.

Amazing! Did a class with my family, honestly really good experience!

Great sushi tips. Loved the lesson in cucumber slicing, plating rules of the wasbi, wagu beef and fresh lobster. He easily handled special food accommodations and our crazy kids and dogs. We also got a few tips re Japanese knives. We'd do it again! Thanks Chef Justin!

We loved our experience with Chef Justin. The sushi we made was delicious, and it was incredible to learn technique from such a patient teacher. My 13 year old nephew participated with us and he absolutely loved it too. I would recommend this experience and Chef Justin most highly.

We had a great experience with Chef Justin! I would recommend Chef Justin time and time again to friends and family. I surprised my girlfriend with a sushi making night and we had a fantastic experience. Chef Justin was on time and prepared with all ingredients and supplies. He worked with us to accommodate my girlfriend who had gluten and dairy allergies and have similar rolls and sauces she could consume. He set up and prepared in our kitchen space well. He was friendly, joking, but also very serious and focused on his craft. It was so fun to see his technique and skills and he was a great teacher, letting hs try our hand at cutting and rolling. We ate a multiple course meal and both of us LOVED it. The sushi was so fresh and so good. I couldn’t recommend this more to others. Thank you to Chef Justin for such a fun experience!

Chef Justin was amazing! Professional, fun, personable, and very patient with a group of first-time sushi makers - he would be great for a date night, a big party, or anything in between. Highly recommend!

Chef Justin was awesome!! We loved our experience. He created such a memorable evening with many, many delicious rolls. Highly recommend!

Justin did an AMAZING job. Such a fun night, he’s incredibly informative, helpful, and a lot of fun. Would recommend to anyone.

Justin was personable, knowledgeable and funny! I highly recommend!

Chef Justin was great! Would definitely do this again. What a great experience and so much leftover sushi!

BOOK Chef Justin without hesitation! I initially reached out to Chef Mademaster and was disappointed. I booked, he cancelled a week after, I asked for an explanation in the messages and he NEVER responded. Very rude. I then found Chef Justin and it was a WONDERFUL experience. Chef Justin was on time and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. He was able to customize the menu for me (I'm vegan my friend isn't) he had multiple options that were tasty. Hiring Chef Justin was one of the best decisions we made for our event. If you're looking for a private chef who goes above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience, look no further. He's also funny! Pros: Exceptional culinary skills Customized menu tailored to preferences Professionalism and attention to detail Friendly and engaging demeanor Cons: None whatsoever! Thanks again Chef Justin!

Chef Justin was amazing!!! I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriend for our anniversary because we both love sushi and cooking. He came very prepared and organized. He was an amazing teacher, and he catered to all of our requests! He started with a tuna, crab, salmon, avacado cucumber roll with edamame. Then we made a spicy shrimp roll. After he prepared an amazing lobster, cucumber, avacado roll with freshly seared steak on top. It was AMAZING! He even added in extra steak nigiri for us. He ended with vanilla, matcha, and strawberry mochi. Overall 11/10 experience and I would recommend to anyone!!

Chef Justin is phenomenal. His expertise patience, and skills truly made our sushi making class unforgettable. We had such a wonderful time with him, made great conversation, and made a delicious dinner together. The fish was high-quality, and he even made a little side meal for our puppy at home. Thank you, Justin, for an unbelievable experience - we are so grateful to you! Sophia and Luka

Chef Justin is very funny and engaging. He taught us some sushi making techniques and had more than enough sushi for two meals. Best sushi I have ever had and we walked away having learned a few tricks that we are planning to try on our own.

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Justin. His Surf and Turf Sushi was absolutely delicious and it came with delicious surprise additions that were not on the menu. We all agreed it was the best sushi that we have had (and we are all sushi fans). Chef Justin was a great teacher -- walking us through the steps and techniques to shop for and prepare the sushi. He was a gracious and communicative host and made the evening an enjoyable and special experience. We would highly recommend Chef Justin, the food and the experience.

Chef Justin was amazing! We had so much fun. He was knowledgeable, the fish was fresh, and the rolls were delicious! Highly recommend

Justin was a patient and informed teacher who helped me figure out what I had been doing all wrong. It was a fun way to spend an evening even if you’re just interested in observing a chef up close and having a terrific meal along the way made it all the better.

Had a great experience and good conversation. We enjoyed learning, watching and being in awe of the craftsmanship of Chef Justin. Would recommend!

We had the best experience with Chef Justin and couldn’t be more pleased with our first Cozy Meal in-home class and dinner! It was truly memorable and we learned new techniques too! The entire group had a great time and Chef Justin is delightful. Would highly recommend!

Justin did a fantastic job and is an awesome sushi chef. We had a blast learning some sushi basics and loved the rolls he prepared for us as well. Super nice guy and created a great experience!

Chef Justin left us with an unforgettable experience! I book this for my boyfriend's birthday / Christmas present. Chef Justin showed up promptly with everything he needed to make this a fantastic evening. We had a great time learning from him as well as hanging out and joking around. This was something we will never forget, and I can't thank him enough!!

Chef Justin was the best and was extremely patient with my young niece and nephew! The rolls were so delicious and we learned so much!

Great experience with Justin!

Our team hired Justin for our end of year activity. He was fun to work with and the food was great!

Justin was absolutely amazing! He was extremely charming and the food was so outstanding. I will definitely be booking him again for future events.?

Chef Justin exceeded our expectations. The dishes were amazing. Our family learned to make sushi, and slice and dice. We are avid sushi lovers still he had new tricks. Above all he was charming, and friendly.

We had amazing time with Chef Justin!

Chef Justin is warm and welcoming. We learned about the history of sushi but we also acquired the skills to make it ourselves. The class was exceptionally well-organized, with all the necessary ingredients and tools laid out neatly. Chef Justin's attention to detail was impressive, and he took the time to explain the importance of selecting the freshest fish and perfecting knife skills. His explanations were clear and easy to follow. This attention to aesthetics elevated the entire sushi-making experience to a true work of art. It was a truly memorable meal, and he was able to make substitutions and the birthday super special.

My fiancé and I had a terrific evening with Chef Justin. He was very friendly and made a terrific meal. We absolutely recommend him! Thanks Chef Justin!

Justin was on time, personable and provided even more than expected during the meal. It was hands on and very fun!
