Chef Yapo was great! He was knowledge and had such great energy. He was very patient with everyone. I would highly recommend his class to anyone who wants to learn to make sushi!

Lots to enjoy about this experience. Chef Yapo was entertaining and informative. He used fresh ingredients, my only feedback was that some of the rice was undercooked and hard. The atmosphere was relaxed and chill at Culture Brewering Co. Lots of great beers to pair the sushi with. They also had a nice NA seltzer option.

Excellent class! Super fun. I did expect to make more than one roll, but the roll we made was filling, so I don't know that I could have eaten a second one anyway. The rice was a tad undercooked. However, Chef Yapo was great. Very fun with lots of positive energy. He was very organized and had us all set up with workstations where we could create our rolls. He gave great recommendations about where to find the best, freshest ingredients. I would have liked a printout of the recipe measurements to take home, but he did say that that was all stuff you could find easily. The other people in the class were fun to interact with. I would not have signed up for this class on my own, but a friend wanted to do it, so I went ahead and signed up. Then my friend had to cancel so my husband and I went anyway. This is not really his type of thing either and he had a really good time. (He also said to give 5 stars.) I am so glad I went, we had a really nice time and I would recommend it.

Chef was knowledgeable and engaging and I did learn a few tips. However, class description said that we would make 2 sushi rolls (fish and vegan) and we only got to make one. We did not even get to cut the roll ourselves. The class is done in 2 groups and he reused the same bowls of water/vinegar for both. Glad I wasn't in the second group and dipping my fingers into the same bowl used by someone else, especially since he didn't encourage anyone to wash their hands before class.

Chef Yapo is very knowledgeable about sushi and any other food.
In this class, we each made one roll of maki sushi, and learned all the tricks.

The class was good. But i didnt like how it was two set of groups making the rolls. The 2nd group had to use the same vinegar for rice and same sheets. Class needs to be smaller and using clean materials. He also didnt encourage for ppl to go was their hands before. Class was two short. Wish we were able to cut the ingredients and cut the sushi. I feel that all i did was put rice and rolled. I expected to do the entire roll completely. From the cutting to prepping…
