Chef Pao's sushi class was great! We did the 5 course one (soup/salad, 3 rolls, mochi for dessert) and it was a TON of food. My mother even brought home her leftovers. The rice and veggies are precut/cooked but honestly I didn't come to a class to learn to cut things, I wanted to learn how to roll sushi, so this delivered! We learned two different ways of rolling sushi and it's a lot harder than it looks. Chef Pao gave us a thorough explanation on sushi in general and how to get the ingredients locally and was very encouraging. Some people in our class were better than others and he was very flexible on how to make our rolls presentable or if we missed a step he helped us adjust. We were very fortunate to take a class that was smaller sized and we got along well with the other group so at the end when you got to eat your own creations (you eat the rolls you specifically make), it was more like a meal with friends. Could not speak more highly of this class enough, we told everyone about it. Such a good deal for what you pay for. We signed up for another one of Chef Pao's classes and we're very excited for it!

We had an amazing time with Chef Pao’s Sushi Class. We learned a lot about the different ingredients and what prep steps were important to make your rolls turn out clean. Definitely going to stop by for another class of his at some point in the future.

Chef Pao is a true professional and very organized. We very much enjoyed Chef sharing history, terminology, knowledge with us all. Booking through Classpop was also very easy. Thanks Chef Pao and Classpop! We will be back!

My wife and I learned the basics of Sushi making with Chef Pao and had a great time. He was so personable and kind to us throughout the process and very knowledgeable of the proper techniques and ingredients to use! I highly recommend him as a teacher!

As someone who loves sushi and likes to occasionally dabble in making it I actually learned a couple good tricks of the craft and I enjoyed the class. I originally bought it for my girlfriend and I but ended up being single so I went with my mom. We had a beer at the brewery and ended up having a great time. Chef Pao was eager to answer questions and help us through the process. Highly recommend.

I never received recipes after class even after messaging a reminder. Food was good but we didn’t make fillings and class listed as 2 hours, easily done in 45 min.

We always enjoy Chef Pao's classes. They're informative and fun and there's always plenty to eat after! He can accomdate for vegetarians as well, so it is really inclusive. The potstickers class was fun and it was great to eat the food you made yourself. He also told us where we could buy the ingredients so we could keep up/practice our new skills at home. We'll keep an eye out for the next one!

Was a great class. Really enjoyed Chef Pao and thought he did a great job. The only thing that could have been different to make it a little more interactive is to cut up the veggies ourselves. Overall loved it and would do another class.

Unfortunately, the pot stickers class was not really a cooking class. Everything came pre-prepped so we didn't learn how to actually make the filling or any new sauces. Also - this class was labeled as "pot stickers" which are typically lightly friend then steamed. The ones we made were completely deep fried (not matching the photo), so we only were able to eat a couple of them and left hungry.

This class was, unfortunately, not really a cooking class. The filling was made by the chef ahead of time, the wraps were purchased at a grocery store, and there were no sauces made from scratch. It was not interactive, and the chef seemed very distracted and disorganized, leaving us to fend for ourselves when it came to the cooking portion (which was just deep frying the potstickers). While the chef is incredibly kind and I enjoyed the few minutes I spoke with him, I would not recommend this class to anyone looking to learn the art of making potstickers (or any cooking skills).

Learning how to make sushi from Chef Pao was so fun. He is very organized and calm, and when he starts teaching about sushi you can clearly see how passionate he is about it. I can't wait to recreate everything I learned during our time together!
