This class was such a fun experience! We were not aware that the class would be held at his home but once we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and got to cooking. We learned a ton and Pao was such a great teacher. The food turned out delicious and now my wife and I know how to correctly make them!
Thanks, Chef Pao!

My husband and I had a great time making a few different sushi rolls with Chef Pao. I honestly had never tried making sushi before, because I had assumed it was too complicated. Chef Pao made the whole process very approachable, and we were really pleased with the outcomes of our first ever sushi attempts. The whole class was very organized, the kitchen was super clean, and Chef Pao had a calm and encouraging personality that made the experience fun instead of stressful. Highly recommend!

Chef Pao was super fun and engaging to learn from. He made each step of the process interesting and explained many of the reasons for the ingredient choices and why they are important. I would 100% take more classes from Chef Pao.

Wendy
07 Jul 2025
Pa was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way! My husband and I really enjoyed the private lesson atmosphere and the variety of rolls. The emphasis of the class was on assembling and rolling, with limited opportunities to slice/cut. This was 100% fine with me (I don’t like using knives much) but if someone is looking to learn knife skills for sushi, this may not be what they’re looking for.
We wrapped up the lesson with getting to eat our hard work along with a lovely salad and mochi ice cream dessert prepared by Pa. Everything about this experience was so chill but fun and I’d highly recommend Pa to any novice.

We cooked potstickers with Chef Pao. Over all it was good experience. It was fun. It is clear he is passionate about cooking and talented in putting together the prep. The class offered the potstickers, chicken fried rice. Not sure if we did the secret sauce. We were also looking forward to the Mochi Ice Cream. It wasn't served...we are also Ice Cream Lovers and would have loved to try something new.

Chef Pao helped us make and plate 3 rolls of sushi that were delicious! We had such a fun time learning from him and his expertise. A great date for us!
Ashlyn
01 Jan 2026
Chef Pao was very informative and we learned so much about *Maki making (and that sushi only means vinegar rice). We were always under the impression that sushi (maki) was hard to make and something the average person couldn’t do, but chef Pao proved this so wrong! We will definitely be trying this again at home. Was such a fun date night!
Would recommend chef Pao start with the salad appetizer at the beginning while he is doing his first intro into sushi / how to make the rice. I showed up hungry and having to make each roll first before eating was taunting! Also, some light music in the background would be a great addition to ease the mood.
Overall, would recommend!
Jamie

We booked a private class with Chef Pao to learn to make sushi. There were five of us in attendance: myself, husband, and three young adult children. It was so much fun! Most of us had never made sushi before and left feeling like we are ready and can't wait to tackle it on our own. The private, intimate setting was ideal, his instruction was very clear, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this class with Chef Pao.

My wife and I took this class with Chef Pao and were absolutely blown away. He made the process of making sushi so approachable and easy to follow, even for beginners like us. We not only had a great time during the class, but we also left with the confidence and skills to recreate everything at home – and we have!
Chef Pao was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his craft. The step-by-step guidance, especially on rice prep and rolling technique, was exactly what we needed. The ingredients were fresh, the environment was fun and welcoming, and the hands-on experience was top-notch.
If you’re looking to actually learn how to make sushi, this is the class for you. Highly recommend it for a date night, group activity, or just to pick up a new skill!

My granddaughter and I attended Pao’s Sushi class. He is a cheerful, fun and excellent at teaching his skill. We made 3 types of rolls and then had the enjoyment of eating what we made along with a lovely salad he made for us and some Mochi ice cream for desert. I always thought making Sushi was a difficult task but with Paos instruction we were able to make very nice rolls first time. Great class.

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!
Jackson

We had so much fun. This was a birthday event for my 24 year old son. We had people from 18 to 95 years old and everyone had fun and learned how to make Sushi. Chef Pao was so knowledgeable and patient. Thank you Cozymeal! Thank you Chef Pao!

Chef Pao's beginner sushi class was such a fun experience. It was an easy going atmosphere and Chef Pao was very kind, patient, and reassuring. My husband and I are looking forward to trying the advanced class in the future.

This was so great. I took my husband, son and DiL, we all learned how to make sushi and where to buy the freshest ingredients. The food was delicious! We went really hungry and left very full. Also, he worked around my hubby's allergies. Thanks again Chef

This was a blast! It was definitely cozy, just 2 couples and Chef Pao. He was very good at teaching us how to master the art of making sushi. He mastered it, we didn’t do too bad!! Would recommend for sure.

The class was great and the food was delicious! Pao taught us every step of the way and answered any questions we had during the process. The egg rolls were so good and we have already made them again using his teachings.

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.

I think we were a little disappointed, paid for 2 hour class - but it was probably 20 minutes of instruction and our sushi does not look like the photos listed in the description.

The sushi was good and Chef Pao was very nice! I was expecting a longer class where we could learn and participate in making more of the food, the class was really just rolling the already prepared ingredients.

Chef Pao callled 90 minutes before our guests arrived to tell us he wasn’t coming. His excuse was that his flight arrived the morning of our event, not the night prior. He didn’t have the courtesy to tell us until the last minute. We needed up ordering takeout. It was a total let down. I will not use cozymeal again and I wouldn’t trust that chef pao will be there for your event.

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.

Class is not well prepared. Chef did not pay attention to details.
