I recently had the pleasure of attending a Korean cooking class with Chef Paul, and it was an incredible experience! We made delicious Korean fried chicken and Korean fish-shaped pancakes for dessert. Chef Paul was extremely knowledgeable and had a warm, inviting aura that immediately put me at ease.
I was initially a little anxious about doing a private cooking class in someone's home, but Chef Paul created a safe and pleasant environment that made the experience truly enjoyable. He was an excellent teacher, explaining everything clearly and making the class both educational and fun.
I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to learn Korean cuisine or just enjoy a unique and memorable experience. Thank you, Chef Paul!

I recently had a cooking class with Chef Paul, and the entire experience was awesome. We learned about Korean favourites; ramen ttang, gimbap and bibimbap. He was very informative about Korean culture and traditions, providing education on their cuisine along with similarities and differences between other Asian countries. It was a very interactive class with lots of hands-on participation. I plan to invite Chef Paul for a private dinner event in the future and will be recommending his classes to friends. Thank you again for the great experience!

I would absolutely recommend Chef Paul. I hired Chef Paul for my 30th birthday dinner and he knocked it out of the park. The food was delicious and different than other things we have tried before. The rolls and sashimi were stand out favourites amongst the group. He and Grace left my kitchen cleaner than when they arrived as well!

First time ever taking a cooking class and it was just an awesome experience. Chef Paul showed us everything we needed to know about how to make fresh and delicious sushi as well as little tips here and there to spot what good sushi should look like. His fun and interactive personality is really what makes it 5 stars for me. He shows genuine love for what he does and keeps in contact with his customers to give ingredient tips or just to talk about food! Overall I would do this again and look into more classes but I would never do it unless it was Chef Paul. Highly Recommended if your doing a gift or date night!

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!

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!

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.

Paul was so good and working with us newbies ( me more so than my hubby) and we genuinely will be booking again!!!

Chef Paul welcomed us to his home and provided a great experience in making Korean Fried Chicken burger. He also went through some basic kitchen techniques that will help us in other areas of the kitchen. What was great was how accessible the ingredients were to create a great dish. Was very personable and we learned so much. We will definitely be recommending to friends!

Chef Paul was great! He graciously opened his home to my girlfriend and I for an evening of cool experiences, laughs and story telling. I would recommend this class for anyone looking to practice some knife skills or to learn how to roll a Kimbap.
My favourite part of the evening was listening to Chef Paul’s stories of growing up and living in South Korea.

I recently attended Chef Paul's Korean cooking class, and I must say that it was an incredible experience. Chef Paul was not only an excellent instructor, but also a great host, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident in the kitchen. His knowledge of Korean cuisine and cooking techniques was impressive, and he was able to share this knowledge in a way that was easy to understand and follow. The dishes we prepared were not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Paul's Korean cooking class to anyone who is interested in learning about this amazing cuisine.

Chef Paul was a pleasure to learn from! We enjoyed learning knife skills, sushi making skills, and even how to properly make tempura. The class was so fun, my husband and I really enjoyed the time. Sushi is our go-to for date nights and now we are more informed and trained in sushi making for ourselves! Maybe date nights will include home made sushi nights from now on ;) Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! Jamie and Mark

We had a great time at the Korean Favorites cooking class. Chef Paul did an excellent job of explaining the ingredients and techniques of the dishes. It was also clear that he has a passion for sharing his knowledge as he was happy to indulge us with any questions related to Korean quinine. The dishes were delicious and we had a delightful time. We would recommend Chef Paul and this class to anyone looking to dive into the world of home Korean cooking!

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.

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!
