Chef Harold delivered an amazing meal and experience. We learned the art of modern sushi and were able to put our skills into practice on hand-rolls and maki. Harold shared many anecdotes all while creating one delicious dish after the other. Highly recommend!

Chef Harold is kind, professional, and genuinely loves his job! He was timely, came prepared, and truly brought the holiday spirit. We enjoyed a well-timed meal with multi courses (the portions were generous!), and finished the experience with full bellies (and a lot of laughs). The dumplings were so yummy. Would definitely recommend the experience to others!

We absolutely loved our couples sushi cooking class with Chef Harold! After he made us spicy salmon cupcakes and spicy tuna tacos (his own invention), we learned how to make hand rolls, and roll our own sushi. He’s an excellent teacher, and told us a bit about his career. He brought everything, including the pots and pans! And then he cleaned up the kitchen and shared photos and videos of our evening. It was delicious and there was plenty for leftovers.

We had the best time with Chef Harold! We booked the sushi and ramen experience and the food was incredible - you can tell he's so passionate about his work. Chef Harold has a wealth of knowledge and experience and offered to teach us some tips and tricks as he prepared the food which we loved. He was very accommodating about our dietary restrictions as well which we so much appreciated. The food and overall experience with Chef Harold was a highlight of our summer. We'll definitely be booking again soon!

07 Mar 2024
I bought this as a gift for my brother and his girlfriend. They had a wonderful time, and said nothing but great things about chef Harold! Food was delicious and they left beyond full with leftovers. Learned a ton and they said they plan to go to a fish market and try it again this week. He also was so easy to communicate with via the app. I had requested a sight time change and he accommodated us with no issue. The only thing they wish they had time to learn about more was how to clean and prepare fish for sushi when buying it themselves, but of course you can only cover so much in one two hour course. Thanks so much!
Danielle

Chef Harold was amazing!! Not only was the sushi delicious, but he brings a fun and enthusiastic energy. He brings everything you need so no need to prep other than a bottle of wine if you’d like!

Harold's culinary skills are beyond compare! He brought an extraordinary Asian dining experience to our home that left us in awe. From the moment he stepped into our kitchen, Harold's passion and expertise were evident in every dish he expertly crafted. The flavors he infused into each creation were an absolute delight, showcasing his mastery of authentic Asian cuisine. Particularly, the crispy chicken wings with their tantalizing homemade sauce stood out, delivering an explosion of flavors and a delightful crunch. Not only was the food impeccable, but Harold's professionalism and amiable nature made the entire evening a joy. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Harold for an unforgettable culinary journey. Thank you, Harold, for an incredible evening filled with delectable food and wonderful memories!

Sara
12 Jul 2023
Chef Harold was terrific! We booked this somewhat last minute (less than a month from day of event) for a special 40th birthday surprise dinner with 6 adults (and 1 toddler present half of the meal - till bedtime). We have an open floor plan and we hanging out at the kitchen table and island while Chef Harold started preparing the multi-course meal featuring ramen as the main event. Chef Harold focused on cooking while we had our own conversation (sharing this because some chefs sort of entertain/talk while cooking as part of their shtick, this wasn't his approach - which we really liked for this occasion so we could enjoy ourselves but also in the background see/smell the cooking; seems like he is used to making meals where folks maybe don't even want to be present for the cooking). Chef Harold first reheated the appetizer which he had prepared in advance and then started cooking the other courses which took him some time and that was nice because it helped pace the evening with different courses throughout. We didn't realize the individual ramen bowls would be HUGE so were already full on the earlier courses by time it came (!) and had plenty of leftovers. The food was DELICIOUS and we learned Chef Harold is a really prominent sushi chef who has worked for a number of celebrities etc. We were a bit sad we hadn't picked a sushi menu (but that was for good reason - birthday person doesn't like Sushi). We learned all this while eating the main course as Chef Harold came over to talk with us for a bit after he finished cooking. He was very interesting and friendly and it was great talking with him. He brought his own plastic serving platters/utensils/plates that he then cleaned and took with him (less cleanup for us! Though we did provide some platters to him that we then had to clean after which was no big deal). Highly recommend!
Gabby
09 Jul 2023

There’s so much of it we weren’t able to finish it all and we still have plenty of leftovers for later. Thank you chef!

Chef Harold made this experience fun (and delicious) for both participants with his infectious personality and skill in the kitchen! He was willing to modify the menu to fit our tastes to the point of practically making separate dishes for one of the courses. This was actually my second class with Chef Harold, and this was as good if not better than the last. Highly recommended.
Allie
14 Jun 2023
Chef Harold made this class so much fun! He had everything prepared and it was easy to follow along.

This was my first experience with both sushi making, and Chef Harold - without question it won't be the last! Harold is a charismatic, knowledgeable, and talented chef that brings with him decades of experience which is immediately prevalent as soon as you meet him. Our two- and half-hour class went by in a flash, and it was the perfect combination of eating, learning, and laughing. No matter the occasion, Chef Harold will no doubt come prepared and leave you planning your next event him before he leaves. Well done, Chef - we already look forward to seeing you again.

We had Chef Harold over tonight for the Asian Street Food class. It was our first time with Cozymeal and Chef Harold and it was fun and engaging! Having it in our home meant we didn't have to get a babysitter and we loved the intimate setting and getting to chat with Chef Harold. We felt very special. The chicken was our favorite - so crispy and I can't believe we made it ourselves. Chef Harold also made a custom super spicy noodle option for my husband who loves spicy food. But he can make it non spicy too for those with a milder palette. Overall great experience and glad we did it!
David & Barbara

My sister gifted us this experience as a Christmas gift & chef Harold did not disappoint! He arrived on time and even accommodated our 30 min delay when my husband was running late from an event. He was super friendly, told us all about his family and work - life experiences. The food was so delicious and seemed to whip it right up in an instant. He was engaging and made jokes with our two young kids to keep them entertained and happy! We took fun photos and videos the whole time laughing and eating - what a fun family experience! Highly reccommend Chef Harold!

We had a blast in the Asian Street Food cooking class. Chef Harold showed up with everything we needed for the class and cleaned up after, so it was super hands-off for us. He was flexible with the menu and made adjustments according to our preferences. Everything we made was incredible! The class was a great balance of prepping ingredients, learning the cooking process, and just enjoying the food and conversations with Chef Harold. Highly recommend! We're excited to try these recipes on our own at home and try one of his sushi classes in the future.

Chef Harold is the man! We needed a unique corporate team building event for up to 22 people, and Chef Harold did not disappoint! Held in the private demo kitchen at the Time Out Boston location in the Fenway area, the venue was fantastic. Chef was welcoming and knowledgeable and was able to interact with our large team with energy and enthusiasm. We learned a lot while having fun preparing a 5-course Asian Fusion meal. Everyone was having so much fun, we went an hour longer than the event was scheduled for! We left with full stomachs, and a new appreciation for this chef's broad culinary talents. Can't wait to schedule a future event with Chef, I hear the sushi course is amazing too. If you are looking for a unique team building event in the Boston area, Chef Harold is it!

The miso soup, edamame salad, and temaki (hand roll) were all amazing, and then the delicious ingredients that Chef Harold provides to roll our own sushi and present it with sauces, ginger, etc. We loved every minute of it and highly recommend Chef Harold to anyone looking for a unique interactive way to enjoy sushi! Thank you again Chef Harold!!
Patrick

Chef Harold’s class was amazing. I booked the class as a birthday present for my girlfriend, who has Celiac and can rarely have teriyaki sauce and had never had tempura before. Chef Harold makes everything at home so it’s all gluten free, and he’s very knowledgeable about food safety in general.
The sushi we made was the best sushi we’ve ever had. Chef Harold is a great teacher and has a very fun personality, which made the class even better. We especially appreciated hearing about his long experience making sushi and his explanation of the different types of sushi. I’d recommend this experience to anyone, and can’t wait to try making it on my own.
Daniel

Even after reading all the great reviews, Chef Harold exceeded our expectations. He made us laugh, made us a delicious meal, taught us about sushi and how to make it. We enjoyed every moment with Chef Harold and had one of our best date nights with this experience. 10/10 recommend!
Christopher

Chef Harold was warm and engaging and ensured we had a fabulous time. He perfectly paced all courses, kept instruction to “digestible” buts, and made sure each of us could follow along. He came perfectly prepared, with ingredients already pre measured and cut. He really made my husband’s birthday memorable and went beyond the menu to make my husband a “sushi cake” to make the event extra special.
AnFei
10 Apr 2022
Chef Herlad was amazing. My boyfriend and I had him come to our home for a sushi lesson and he brought everything to cook and cook with. The miso soup, edamame salad, and sushi rolls were all amazing. We both learned to make everything while having fun with Chef Herlad. Highly recommend reaching out to him for a private class like we did in our home, having him host an event or cater as well as attending his classes one of which is in Everett (by nightshift) on classpop (plan to do this in the future with him on classpop or if I ever host an event or need something catered).
Kristin
09 Apr 2022
Chef Harold exceeded our hopes and expectations! We did the sushi making class with him a while back and enjoyed his food and recipes so much that we wanted more! The tour of Asia was absolutely delicious in every way possible. All of the courses were so scrumptious it was hard to choose a favorite. Chef Harold’s chicken wings were so crispy and the “special sauce” was seriously something special. The sushi nigiri was fresh and the drunken noodles were So flavorful and chock full of chicken, shrimp and lobster. Better than a restaurant and the experience of having the chef in your kitchen is such a fun bonus. We highly recommend Chef Harold!

Chef Harold was amazing and so informative. I gifted it to my husband and later grew into a group class with a few of our friends. We had so much fun and learned SO much! We love Japanese food, particularly sushi and so we wanted the option of making sushi at home instead of always having to go to to restaurant to eat it. Can't wait to do our first batch at home from start to finish. THANKS SO MUCH, CHEF! We'll be seeing you again soon. Maybe for your Ramen class! =)

I had no idea what to get my fiancé for Christmas and someone recommended “gifting an experience.”
I stumbled across Cozy Meal through Google and booked Chef Harold’s Sushi Spectacular. Communication was great and he asked if we had any food allergies in preparation. My fiancé and I had such a fun and educational experience all in the comfort of our home!! The food was delicious and Chef Harold left our kitchen SPOTLESS. My friends who have never heard of Cozy Meal saw my Instagram story and now they’re all curious to book!
I will be back to book more experiences!! #winningfiance

Chef Harold worked with me to create a dumpling class for my boyfriend and I and he made it so fun! It was hands on but we also got to watch Chef and relax and drink some wine, too. He also had us covered when it came to photos which he sent us after and was a nice memo. Next time, we'll have to book him for sushi - his speciality! Chef is very talented and it was a pleasure to work with him.

I booked Chef Harold's class for a surprise gift for my family for Christmas. From the moment Chef Harold arrived at our home, everybody was so engaged. Chef Harold introduced himself and spoke about his journey, interspersed with lots of humour. It was a great way to start the evening and establish a wonderful rapport.
Chef Harold is clearly an expert in making sushi and has an unique ability to teach his skills in a very patient and effective way. The family was able to make their own sushi creations which gave everybody a sense of pride. One of our family members is vegetarian and Chef Harold made her feel very much included and helped her create delicious vegetarian sushi with sweet potato which we all loved! Chef Harold is very organised and came with everything he needed for the class. You only have to provide the space and sit down and be entertained. Chef Harold's energy is contagious and we all agreed, it was the best gift we received EVER! We would book Chef Harold again with no hesitation, he truly is a brilliant sushi chef and human being.

Chef Harold was amazing! He was extremely personable and made this experience fun and exciting. He is so educated and knowledgeable about his cuisine and the Japanese culture. He took photos and videos as he taught my boyfriend and I how to make sushi rolls. I would highly recommend Chef Harold for a date night, holiday gift or a family get-together, not to mention his food was extremely fresh and delicious! 10/10 review i will definitely be booking again and recommending to my friends and family!

I booked Chef Harold specifically because of how many positive reviews he has. The sushi was the best I’ve ever had but that wasn’t my favorite part to be honest. His personality is why I want to express how happy I am that I booked with Chef Harold. When I requested the class I wrote in the comments that I had gastric bypass surgery 7 months ago (so I can only have brown rice and nothing fried) and that I love sushi because the protein it provides really gives my body what it needs. When he arrived he told me he made a couple exceptions for me because of my comment (1. He has never gone to NH, that’s where I live. 2. He has a two person minimum, I booked for just myself). He truly wants to help/educate people that want to learn about healthier ways to eat and prepare food. He even left me a sushi roll mat as a Christmas gift! His kindness inspired me to tell my story of surgery to others because some of those people just may help you. He helped me tremendously!!

This was my first experience using Cozymeal and it was excellent! The ease with which I was able to make the booking, combined with the interesting and fun experience of learning about and preparing Asian Street food made the entire experience really enjoyable and one which I will repeat with other friends in the future.

Chef Harold is amazing! Not only did he individually serve us the best sushi we have ever had, he also provided us with an incredibly fun and easy to understand sushi making experience.
The thing that really made our course special was Chef Harold himself. He is an incredibly kind, fun, and interesting person. He has numerous fascinating experiences as a chef that takes an evening with him to another level. I would elaborate more, but wouldn’t want to spoil the surprises he has in store.
I couldn’t give him a better rating. Perfect for a gift, friends/family evening, or a curious person willing to learn something new.

Chef Harold was incredible, we had so much fun with him! He was super punctual and respectful. His plates were amazing and he coaches you along the way. He takes pictures along the dinner and explains the different types of sushi. He shares his recipes after so you dont need to write in the middle of the dinner. His ingredients were top and the food was really good. Thank you Chef Harold for making our anniversary celebration an amazing dinner.
I strongly recommend anyone to try out a class with Chef Harold!

We had a blast taking Chef Harold's Modern Sushi class. He came with all the ingredients, tools, etc. we needed for the class, and we made so many courses in a small Somerville condo with ease. It was so fun and educational, and there is no shortage of delicious food to eat. I can't wait to practice these skills and continue making sushi. I'm recommending this class to all of my friends - it's the perfect date night, a unique way to celebrate, or just something new and exciting to do with friends.

We had the BEST time with Harold! He shared about his experience, showed us how to a make a few different sushi rolls and even made us some himself. We were worried it wouldn't be enough food since my boyfriend and I can really toss sushi rolls back, but it was PLENTY - we had leftovers the next day and Harold left some ingredients for us to keep practicing our sushi making. Would recommend this to anyone, and look forward to doing it again with a group of couples!

what a fun night we had with Chef Harold! He came with everything we needed including the chop sticks and shared his knowledge and love of cooking with us. He showed us how to make the most delicious meal, and by the end of the night, I knew we could master these Asian favorites as well. Felt more like we'd invited an old friend to dinner.

Chef Harold is a fantastic and talented host and food ‘artist.’ Having him celebrate a birthday dinner with his "Journey through Asia" menu was the best experience we could ask for.

We had an amazing birthday dinner for my husband with Chef Harold cooking up all of our favorites. Everything was delicious. I should have watched him prepare the hot and sour soup, I have been thinking about it all week! He also did a great job ensuring my children had some not so spicy selections. All-in-all a wonderful surprise for my husband on his birthday. I have shared already details with several of my friends! Thank you Chef Harold for making this COVID birthday experience extra special.

Our afternoon with Chef Harold was so much fun! He showed up on time and was very friendly. He talked about his background and we learn alot about sushi and how it is prepared. After he expertly prepared us our meal and chatted while we ate, Chef showed us how to roll and present our own sushi. There was so much food I was stuffed and had plenty left over. Chef's visit lasted about two hours and was an experience we'll never forget.

Chef Harold was fantastic! After many failed attempts at making sushi ourselves, my S/O and I were able to nail it first try with his class. We learned some basic staples like miso soup, but he also introduced us to some sushi combinations that we had never had before, such as his lobster rangoon maki (salty, sweet, perfect). Overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend Chef Harold to other sushi beginners as well.

This review is well overdue and I am sorry it took me so long to post as our event was over a month ago, but of course, I have not forgotten what an amazing experience this was- how could you? Chef Harold was amazing. He showed up right on time with all of his cooking necessities and food for a cooking class night to our Air BNB in Boston for my sister Bach party. He not only offered to accommodate all the people that could not eat spicy food, He offered to teach us and serve us two different meals for each course- two different soups, two types of fried chicken and two noodle dishes- he let us all taste and share. He also made a unique dessert that was not included. Upon arrival, He introduced himself with the details of his life and family- making us feel very at home with him. He was very funny and make cooking very fun, told stories of where the dishes came from, took a lot of fun pictures and taught us his techniques- simplifying something I thought was very complicated and made it extremely doable for everyday life. The whole event lasted for almost 4 hours. By the time the last dish was served, we were all so full that we could barely put a bite of it in our mouths. We waited about 2 hours and then gobbled that down and froze the leftovers to save as much as possible and savor over the next few days. About the food- Some of the best food I have ever eaten. Nothing has compared since then! I strongly recommend Chef Harold and definitely would use him again if back in the Boston area! Thanks Chef!

Chef Harold was very flexible. He let us start a little later than scheduled and worked with a smaller kitchen just fine. For the most part, he makes the meal but there’s a lot of education along the way. At the end, however, you’re able to make your own maki and hand roll!!!

CHEF HAROLD!!!
Cannot say enough good things about Chef Harold (and his wife!). I hosted a bachelorette party of 9 women at my apartment and the whole group had an amazing time. Chef Harold was extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions as there was someone who was pregnant and a gluten intolerance. The food was better than going out to a restaurant and it was truly a chefs table experience as Chef Harold was very informative about what was being served for every course. At the end of the meal we all then got to watch him make a hand roll and maki roll, and try for ourselves! I 100% recommend this meal with Chef Harold and I know I will be booking again.
Thank you, Chef!!

Fun and informative sushi class! Chef Harold is incredibly experienced. The vegan sushi we made (along with the miso soup and edamame salad) were delicious! His instruction makes it seem approachable, especially for somebody who has attempted sushi before. He had everything we needed for making sushi.
I was a little disappointed he forgot about my brown rice request, but the class was still informative. I would recommend it to others.

Chef Harold was very friendly and fun! He showed us how to make really delicious and beautiful sushi. He made things look simple and easy to do and by the end of the night my fiancee and I were able to make sushi on our own! He is very serious about photography and makes sure that the whole night is documented for all your facebook and instagram needs. We made more than enough food for the two of us and he left us with enough leftovers for us to make four whole rolls on our own the next day! Overall, a great experience! Would definitely book him again!

We had an amazing with chef Harold! Starting with his personality he is charming, friendly and a great teacher. As a sushi chef he is top notch. The rolls he made were unique and delicious not your run of the mill sushi. Chef Harold takes the time to explain the process, ingredients, and his personal craftsmanship. Overall this was an awesome experience that could be had by as few as 2 for a stay in date night or a larger gathering. Enjoy!

Chef Harold was great. Very personable and experienced. Food was excellent and you will not go hungry. The best part was we had leftovers and got to use what chef taught us the next day. Would highly recommend for any size group. Very unique experience, great for a gift and will definitely book again in the future.

We had a great experience with Chef Harold. He was happy to accommodate our salmon-loving palette and we ended up with 9 courses by the end of the night! We learned a lot about sushi techniques, ingredients, and vocabulary. Wouldn't hesitate to book Chef Harold again. He left us with plenty of delicious leftovers and gave us a bamboo mat as a gift!

Chef Harold was awesome! He and his lovely wife were so friendly and full of information and humor! They more than exceeded my very high expectations, based on terrific reviews! They came to our house amid a snowstorm to create a wonderful, DELICIOUS, memory for our family. Chef Harold was unfazed by three dogs and a newborn! He had so many wonderful dishes and catered to a couple of fussy vegetarians. We will be enjoying his company again, and so will our friends!!!!!

We had such a wonderful evening with Chef Harold! The experience was fun and delicious! Chef Harold was incredibly informative and provided us with all of the information we could need to replicate some of his recipes. He took tons of photos for us and even gave us the leftover ingredients so that we can try again tomorrow! I would highly recommend Chef Harold. He is an absolute delight :)

We had a wonderful time doing the Asian Street Food class with Chef Harold! He went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary restrictions, coming up with some delicious vegetarian substitutes for the normal dishes on the menu. He was professional, knowledgeable, and fun in the kitchen, and all the food exceeded our expectations. Chef Harold was even kind enough to leave us with his homemade recipes and some leftovers so that we will be able to try cooking these dishes on our own next time!

Chef Harold is amazing! We had so much fun making a wide variety of sushi roles, and learned so much from him. He's really funny and quite generous - he even left us some ingredients to practice with on our own. We would 100% recommend him, and will certainly be having him over again. :)

Chef Harold was so great! He was very personable and professional. We requested an entirely vegan menu, and we could tell that Chef Harold put a lot of thought into making this experience great for us. His specialty rolls were so much more unique and tasty than the typical vegan options at most sushi restaurants. He also took the time to teach us how to make everything which was really fun for us. It was a great experience with great food and a really great chef! Would definitely recommend, especially if you are vegan (or vegetarian) and looking to eat and learn how to make something more interesting than a cucumber-avocado roll.

Loved this class! All you need is basic kitchen pots and plates, and Chef Harold takes care of the rest. Not only was the sushi great, but Harold was very funny and fun to learn from. Great gift idea!

Harold was BEYOND what we expected. He was so friendly, funny and professional! Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. He even made us sushi pizza as a BONUS (which I will forever be dreaming about it was that good). My roomates and I will be booking him again very soon.

This class was great! First, the food was phenomenal. Definitely some of the best sushi I've had in Boston. Second, Harold was great as well. He was accommodating for dietary restrictions and was not only a great chef but also a great guest as well! Between the food and the accompanying conversations we had a great experience with Chef Harold.

My sister in law loved sushi so I found out about a cozy meal through just googling. I came across “Sushi Spectacular” class on the website and everything seemed so interested so I booked it. I read good things about Chef Harold but I was still sooo nervous because I never used this website before and I was going in blindly. Chef Harold arrived on time with everything prepared and ready to start. He educated, taught us, showed us everything from appetizers to entree. He made us laugh sooo much!! I honestly couldn’t be happier about this ENTIRE experience. Seeing the joy on my sister in laws face calmed me down and I am SO happy to have used Chef Harold in this sushi making experience! We look forward to using Chef Harold on many more occasions.

Chef Harold 100% exceeded my expectations. I was celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, and Chef Harold went above and beyond to make the night exceptional. He is very knowledgeable and teaches you all about the history of sushi as well as how to make it properly and safely. The food was phenomenal and picture perfect! It was such a fun experience, and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a night with a personal chef. He gave us the leftover ingredients, which we used to make sushi again the following night which wasn't half bad (if I don't say so myself).

Warm, engaging, fun, talented, generous. These are just a few words I would use to described Chef Harold Tan after my experience with him. The "Sushi Spectacular" dinner that I booked was precisely that: spectacular. He prepared a delicious miso soup, edamame salad, and 10 delicious and beautifully plated sushi rolls for me and my girlfriend. He also gave us our own sushi rolling mat as a gift! After the night was done (he spent an extra 30 minutes with us past what he was scheduled to do), he gave us the rest of his homemade salad dressing (sweet and spicy) as well as extra homemade mango-sriracha and teriyaki sauce. Chef Harold told my girlfriend and I that we were his first class ever, which is perhaps why we didn't get to try rolling sushi ourselves, but he was certainly thorough in showing us how to do it in the future. I cannot recommend this man highly enough, he was more than worth it.

I worked with Harold at Legal Seafoods, where he was a head sushi chef for 3 years. While I wasn't too familiar with the many different types of sushi, Harold did a great job of combining American flavors with sushi to create dishes that appealed to our customers. He is an innovative thinker that keeps his audience in mind when making sushi.

As a franchise owner as well as sushi chef myself in UMass Boston dining room, Chef Harold is a great helper, supervisor, and above all mentor. While I worked in catering, Chef Harold would help and with organizing and making sushi. With his experience in catering, Chef Harold knows how to "wow" the clients with extravagant sets of sushi that are almost too pretty to eat.

As a sushi chef myself and own sushi bar in dining at Bentley University. I've had the pleasure of working with Chef Harold. His knowledge and suggestions regarding sushi helped me identify areas that needed to be improved for my business. He is thorough, thoughtful, and an overall pleasant chef to be around.

I met chef Harold when I owned a sushi bar franchise in Dining at Babson college. He mentored me and my group helped me learn new skills and techniques that has given me success in other restaurants and franchises. The most important thing that Harold does well is incorporating new trends into his sushi by experimenting with traditional Asian flavors that suit more modern Western tastes. His innovation leads to many fun and nice presentation new sushi dishes more and more. With many fresh ideas and the patience to help others learn, Harold is a great sushi expert to learn from.

I've known and worked with Chef Harold for more than 15 years. He taught me how to make sushi, and more importantly, he encouraged me think creatively about new ways to make and display sushi. Chef Harold is passionate about making sushi and he enjoys sharing his passion with others. His guidance has helped me rise through the ranks and ultimately become the head sushi chef at the most busiest restaurant Legal Harborside which I work for.
