We’ve attended a couple of Ricky’s classes, and he genuinely cares about teaching and the needs of his students. He can answer whatever questions you need to know about Asian cuisine, and if there is time, he can show or discuss a variation on a recipe. Truly wonderful! He will change the way you cook and eat.

Chef Ricky was so good. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the process of rolling sushi simple and understandable. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary so we could do something different and it was everything was everything that we expected and more.

Could not have asked for a better experience. Chef Ricky really thought of everything and his emphasis on process over preparation during the class made it a true learning experience. His attitude, humor, and knowledge made it an eggcellent experience. Highly recommend.
