Chef Pao was a joy to learn from! He took his time explaining the steps and gave plenty of time for questions.

I highly recommend Chef Pao and his classes! His teaching made sushi-making easy and fun, and he shared his favorite local spots for purchasing sushi-grade fish and supplies. My husband and I had a great time, and we left feeling confident that we could indeed make ourselves sushi at home -- and the food was delicious! Pao's home was warm and inviting, as was the chef himself. We're definitely planning to take Pao's other sushi course later this year! Excellent experience overall.

Chef Pao was excellent, professional and entertaining. We had such a great time learning about the history of sushi and tips and tricks on how to make sushi at home.
