Chef Paul was a wonderful host and chef for our Korean dinner. He taught us many cooking tips and we enjoyed the hands on cutting and preparation. We will be visiting Korea soon for some bicycle touring and he gave us some great travel tips too!

My partner loves Korean food and so I bought him this cooking experience with chef Paul for a Christmas gift. Suffice to say...he LOVED it just as much as I did. Chef Paul was so engaging and fun and very informative all along the way. Even new skills became easy and accessible through his direction. We got to make everything and share with another couple and it was so fun. Korean food is one of our favorite cuisines and being able to learn how to make some of the dishes we enjoy our was super fun. We would highly recommend taking a class with Paul either at his home kitchen (which was so warm and inviting) or have him come to your home. We are already thinking about hosting a party to show off our new skills. You will love this evening if you go!

We had a wonderful evening at our private dinner sushi lesson with Chef Paul. He taught us all about the best quality of sushi rice and precise knife skills for properly preparing our ingredients for sushi rolls. As well as lots of chef tips for how to create neater rolls and of course the amazing chefs blow torch which was so much fun to use and made the sushi taste even better! This was a Christmas gift for my husband and it was truly a relaxing evening and an opportunity to enjoy learning and making the food in great company with such a patient and knowledgeable chef. We really enjoyed ourselves and each dish was delectible and more than we could finish so we ended up with a full fancy roll to take home plus one extra dessert. I don’t think you could get learn this much and focus so well in a larger class. I highly recommend the experience and you will leave with better sushi making skills plus recipes! Amazing for a date night and I’m sure the in house lesson for 5 + would also be a blast!

I brought my 14 year old granddaughter who likes to cook for a twosome lesson with Paul, It was a fun learning experience and the sushi rolls and dessert were delicious! Assembling the rolls is harder than it looks, if you are a serious sushi chef. Paul gives good guidance and tips. His home is slightly difficult to find so leave yourself time to locate it.

I fell in love with Korean food after traveling to Korea last month. These days, there are many Korean restaurants in Calgary, so I wanted to learn Korean food, after search, I found out about cooking class in Calgary, and I got to know chef Paul who is Korean. Also Chef Paul is managing a take out restaurant, so I think he knows more about trends of korean food than anyone else, and I learned a lot about Korean food in cooking class. I am so happy to think that I will call my friends in this week to cook the food that I learned after cooking class. If you are looking for a Korean chef in Calgary, I recommend chef Paul without hesitation.

We learned sushi happily through Chef Kang for the first time. we always went to the restaurant to eat sushi, but it was hard to find a delicious restaurant. Among them, the place where Koreans do it was delicious, so I decided to have a fun time because I thought it would be nice to learn sushi from a Korean chef. Especially, Chef Kang is from Culinary art, and he has various knowledge about cooking, so he explained it easily, especially since he currently runs a sushi restaurant, he knows about sushi better than anyone else and explained it easily to new learners. Now, we are going to make sushi in the kitchen, not in the restaurant with my wife, and invite my friends to dinner. Thank you again and I would like to apply again soon to learn more advanced courses, not beginner courses. I strongly recommend it to those who are interested in sushi.

Nicole

Chef Paul is a very talented sushi chef and restaurant owner. Sushi is something I really enjoy. Chef Paul showed me how to make a sashimi dish. I love learning about dishes I love and how to recreate them at home. If you are a sushi lover too I recommend Chef Paul!
