Chef Pao was a kind and patient teacher and was clearly excited to demonstrate his knowledge on sushi-making. The class was well-organized and ran smoothly (our class of 4 people finished in about 1.5 hrs). The food that we made tasted great! One thing that I realized was that the menu mentioned mochi and we did not receive it, but I was definitely still full from the food we made. Overall I had a great time and would definitely recommend this class anyone interested in sushi!

Chef Pao was absolutely fantastic— inviting, kind, fun and certainly knowledgeable! I bought this class for my girlfriend and I to attend as a Valentine’s Day gift and she was not disappointed (being the biggest sushi fanatic ever). I would definitely recommend any of Chef Pao’s services as our experience was fantastic. Thanks for the great time, Chef!

The class was informative, however, for the price I was expecting more. Also we were very surprised by the location of the class, no one in our group was anticipating it being at a house?? The website needs to make it more clear this class is at Chef Pao’s home, and not a facility or restaurant. Again for the price, was expecting more of an experience.

Chef Pao's cooking is exceptional and entertaining. He enjoys teaching about culinary art techniques and cooking methods, so he won't disappoint if you have the chance to see him cook and learn from him. As with the dishes he creates, there is no disappointment. He is passionate and it shows through the flavor he extracts from simple ingredients. All in all, he can always bring a unique twist on classic dishes, and that is probably what I enjoy the most about his cooking style.
