Chefs were both extremely professional, engaging and knowledgeable. It was a great experience. As a single woman made to feel comfortable entire evening. I cook & bake a lot however it is wonderful to learn new techniques and gain knowledge about foods I may not try on my own. Looking forward to my next class with these Chefs already reserved!

It was a fun experience for me to learn how to make Gyoza for the 1st time. Chefs Vivian and Michi were very enthusiastic and patient. Everyone seemed to enjoy the class a lot. I love the potato salad and couldn’t help eating it nonestoppably. I had a blast!

Chef Vivian and Michi's "Making Sushi" class was a great introduction to the basic knowledge of making sushi. The hands-on experience taught me how to prep, create and roll sushi. Not it takes practice and patience to "Do it on Your Own"!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at the House of Gucci cooking experience with Chef Vivian and Michi. We had such a great time- and learned so many interesting tips and tricks. The food was AMAZING and we enjoyed both the company and conversation! They even made tiny Tiramasus and sang Happy Birthday to my friend. You should definitely do this class!

My friends and I did this for my b-day. It was so fun, hands-on, and the food was AMAZING (we did the Mediterranean class w/ shrimp, paella, chicken and veggies, and tiramisu)! VIvian and Michi are fun, down to earth, and have a wealth of knowledge. Something unexpectedly great about these classes is meeting the chefs who have studied and lived all around the world. Highly recommend!

My wife and I really enjoyed Vivian, Michi, and the food. Everything was a 100/10! I was told that Peruvian food was the best food out there and I can tell you, that is the truth! The dishes were easy and simple, yet so flavorful. We will be adding these to our dinner rotation. Thank you !!

Chefs Vivian and Michi did a wonderful job with our cooking experience. They were well prepared when we arrived and very welcoming during the whole evening. They were very focused on teaching about the various dishes we were preparing, different techniques, spices etc - not just rushing to get it done. Well done and fun evening.

Chef Vivian and Michi are more than amazing. They came in and brought a wonderful vibe and energy. They had everything prepped and prepared. Very communicative as well as thoughtful and friendly. The meal was 10/10 my family and I felt as though we were at a 5 start restaurant. I would love to see them again and would recommend them to anybody! Great experience.

This was such an amazing class to take! It took about an hour, but it went by so fast because we were having so much fun. The chefs were very informative, and I love how intimate the class was. I had the luxury of sitting next to the chefs and being their VIP for the evening lol that worked out perfectly because I was able to work with her daughter and get some more 101 teaching! Such a beautiful family and I can’t wait until the next class.

This class was only one hour and was advertised as a 2 hour class. Only 2 rolls were made for each person at a price of $110 ! Not worth the money spent. However the instructors were nice and we met a great couple there making sushi with us.

Jeffrey
11 Jan 2024
Nice people, probably wouldn't recommend to anyone. If an event is going tonbe outside in January that should be communicated to people. I thought the venue and setup was pretty bad for this event. Also don't advertise the event as being 2 hours when it is really about 45 minutes, its sets an expectation that you are getting more than this event delivered. The cost also was far to much for what you got and the instruction was really just okay. The overall experience just did not match what was advertised.

The recent Ramen cooking class with Michi and Vivan was an excellent experience. They provided clear and detailed step-by-step instructions on how to make delicious ramen at home. The class was informative, engaging, and left me feeling confident in my ability to recreate this Japanese delicacy in my own kitchen.

I took my college aged daughter to learn to make Sushi. Chefs were very friendly and eager to share their passion. Instructions were simple and straightforward and help was available, if needed. We had sixteen people in our session. A few dates, some small groups of friends and a few groups of parents and adult kids. A fun and relaxed way to learn something new while enjoying a cold craft beer. Do yourself a favor and sign up for this class. Thanks Chefs!

The instructors were great and the sushi was delicious 😋 However, the setting for preparing raw food is not ideal. The Craft beer bar allows dogs indoors (unhygienic) and is loud so challenging to hear instructions.

Chefs were very nice but the venue was not. Restaurant setting with long table. Soccer World Cup playing on several TVs. I could barely hear the instructions. Menu was extremely basic even for a beginners class. Fortunately class was half price. Had I paid full price I would have been very disappointed

They don’t call it “sushi making secrets” for nothing. We learned sooo much and the sushi and desert was really good. The chefs were really nice and personable. They definitely put in the 10,000 hours to know what they’re talking about. My mom said it was her best birthday ever!!!!

It was a fun selection of food items. Sadly, the ingredients were not all listed nor some of the amounts. During the class, there were items that were not mentioned in the directions. I had hoped to hear more from Michi's experience with the food in Japan- he did not have much time to talk. Finally, we seemed to end class about 20 minutes early and a slower pace may have been helpful.
