We booked the Sushi 101 skills class with chef Zack. We had a fabulous time! Chef Zack was amazing, super professional, polite and so incredibly knowledgeable about Sushi. We enjoyed ourselves 100%. He is a very skilled chef. He was patient and kind with us. Shared great tips etc.. to make this class so fun, enjoyable and help expand our cooking skill set! I'd highly recommend chef Zack for any sushi classes. The sushi we had was awesome and full of wonderful flavors.

Food was good, but class could have been better for what we paid. Did not learn much, wanted to learn more about the types of fish and sushi making philosophy from a pro etc but there wasn’t much of an educational component. Seemed a bit unorganized and unsanitary

What a cool, fun night! I loved how Zach was knowledgeable, and helpful with his information, but was also laid back and an overall good time. All of the couples there had a bunch of laughs and we really got to learn the basics of sushi making. We’d love to come back!

Started late and disorganized, but was an excellent class once we got going. Zach was fun to chat with and a great teacher. The sushi was delicious and we were stuffed by the end. We’d definitely take another class from him.

Had a fantastic time in Zach’s class, where he walked us through making three sushi courses in a very beginner-friendly fashion. I took the class during a vacation and would recommend this to anyone visiting the San Diego area.

Omg. We loved it! I surprised my friend for his birthday and we highly enjoyed it. We made a few different style rolls and they were fresh and delicious. I was very full and got to bring my own alcohol. Zach was an excellent teacher and host. I will definitely be be using him for my birthday as well as going to his restuarant regularly. Thanks again Zach!

The experience was great. I just feel like it was over priced. The experience called for two hours 6-8pm. We didn’t start until 640 and then finished at 740ish. I believe the price should be more around $50. Chef Zach was great however and the food was good.

I took my husband to the Next Level Sushi Class with Chef Zach and left feeling a bit disappointed. I will preface this with the fact that I’ve done many cooking classes so I’m comparing this experience to previous life ones. While we did learn a few things, there were many ways this class fell short. Intros. The Chef did not introduce himself or care to get to know anyone in the class. He mentioned it had been a long week… maybe that’s why he seemed apathetic. Description. The class description did not match the experience. While the description noted we’d be learning to garnish and create sauces for the sushi, none of that was done. This was essentially Chef Zach’s 101 sushi class repackaged and sold at a higher price - we paid $20/person more to eat crème brûlée at the end. Even that would have been okay if we had learned to make the Green Tea crème brûlée, as the description insinuated. Instead, he passed around pre-made vanilla crème brûlée. Location. Nobody in the class knew we’d be outside for this class and none of us were prepared with proper outerwear. It was freezing. A note from the Chef letting us know this was an outdoor location would have made a big difference. I would not participate in another class by Chef Zach. I was disappointed in the experience but grateful my husband found it enjoyable.

I surprised my boyfriend with this class and the experience was unparalleled. This was our first class with Chef Zach and it won’t be the last by far. The experience was beyond what I could’ve imagined. Zachs instruction was amazing but dare I say the sushi was better! And he made sure we had plenty of it to eat. We left as two very full, very happy customers and 50/10 would recommend to our friends… and we already have! We can’t wait for round two
