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.
