Our experience with Chef Danh was incredible! He started the lesson with some delicious ahi tuna nachos that he made for the entire group and some flavor sake. Then, he taught us how to do two rolls, one hand roll and one oniguiri. To finish we had green tea ice cream and he offered sushi kits to make at home. During the entire class he kindly explained everything with a lot of detail and was very funny. We highly recommend chef Danh and will come back for more sushi classes.

My family took me to this venue for Father's Day. It was a really fun experience with Chef Danh. He made it fun and educational, can't wait to make my own sushi/rolls at home. Very cool setting and focused with just the four of us and I thought the price was pretty reasonable for what we got out of it, including the meal and some sake. I highly recommend it to anyone!

I cannot oversell this experience. From start to finish Chef Danh was amazing. Professional, talented, and fun, he taught us to make some truly BEAUTIFUL sushi in his home/teaching studio. The space is bright and clean and super well appointed. Each of us had our own prep station that was fully stocked for the class. We were welcomed in with a smile, some sake, and an amazing appetizer to get us in the mood for what was to come! What followed was a genuinely great learning experience where we ended up making really delicious and amazing looking food! From basics to tips and tricks, Chef Danh gave us excellent instruction and a lot of humor! Oh and you get to eat everything you make which is a TON of food! This was worth every penny and we'll most likely be heading back to do it again! If you are a fan of sushi, or a fan of cooking, or both... do yourself a favor and take this class!

If you are looking for cooking classes to take, take this one! Our group of 3 had a blast. Chef Danh is knowledgeable, fun and attentive. He prepped and made sure everything was ready for our class. Nothing was unaccounted for. We learned knife techniques, history of how items are prepared, and of course, how to make a delicious meal! His place was also easy to access, park and very clean. We would highly recommend anyone take this class. We are looking forward to taking more!

Chef Danh was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. Cozy atmosphere with a lot of individual attention. Taught us about his Vietnamese background and about the food we were cooking that night. Food was very good and appreciate that he taught us how to plate the food in a visually appealing way, as well. We came hungry and left very full! Will definitely keep an eye out for any additional classes he is teaching. :)

Chef Danh was fantastic. From the moment you walk in he makes you feel welcome. He prepared a few apps for us to try before starting the lesson. We had a blast. He was funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and there is plenty of it. So much we had to take half of it home. We will definitely be coming back and trying his next level sushi class. A+++

Chef Dahn came to our apartment building and conducted a private vegan lesson for me and my wife. We were both impressed with his presentation, instruction, and enthusiasm. Chef Dahn spent about 30 mins prepping the counter with everything we needed to make vegan rolls. When we walked in, he had music to set the mood and lovely place settings each of us. He truly thought of everything. He even provided appetizers before we started our lessons! We will definitely be taking another Chef Dahn lesson in the future.

Vincent

18 Sep 2022

Our experience with Chef Danh was excellent! When we showed up, he had everything set up and even had some appetizers prepared for us to eat. The sushi nacho was different from anything we had before and we're going to attempt to make it. We bought a sushi kit from him and we will be using the techniques he taught us to have our own sushi date night. Thank you for a great evening, Chef Danh!

Andrea

We had so much fun in Chef Danh’s class! It was a nice clean, inviting space. He was very patient and the steps were easy to follow. We also left with so much sushi to bring home, very generous menu! We feel confident that we can now make sushi at home. I’m telling everyone I know to go to this class for a fun and unique experience! You won’t regret it!

Chef Danh's class exceeded expectations. The rolls were classic sushi rolls, but extremely fresh and some of the tastiest compared to restaurant purchased rolls. Chef Danh's space was comfortable for learning and eating. He is a talented chef and gifted teacher. I highly recommend this class and meal. Thanks, Chef Danh!

I brought my nephew to Chef Danh's sushi-making class for his birthday and it was great. Besides teaching us how to make, roll and cut sushi, he shared his knowledge on rice making, stories about authentic sushi and recommended places to shop for good ingredients. Chef Dahn was a really engaging host and made the whole experience both fun and educational for us. Highly recommend and plan to attend another class soon!
