Chef Paulo was awesome!! He was spot on in teaching us the basic of sushi making so we can make a variety of sushi rolls in the future. And we got a bonus of learning to make a hand roll. He was also very flexible and responsive in working with us on the menu/fish options. 10 stars would highly recommend and do it again!

Cooking with Paulo is hands down one of my favorite experiences to repeat. I’ve taken his sushi class a few times now, with adults, and even with kids, and it never disappoints. He is patient, knowledgeable, and so good at breaking things down in a way that feels simple and doable. I’ve learned a wide variety of rolls, the food is incredible, and the whole experience is fun, informative, and interactive. It’s the perfect mix of learning and enjoyment, and I always walk away feeling confident (and very full!).

In all those places, he accumulated 15 years of experience and excelled at honing his skills and is always excited to share his craft with new and repeat guests.
