Chef Taka was prompt, knowledgable, patient with us first time sushi makers, and from my perspective went above and beyond to ensure we had a phenomenal experience. 10/10 would recommend his in-home sushi making class. Thanks for the great experience!

Chef Taka was amazing! He came fully prepared with everything that was needed, took the time to explain the process carefully and allowed us to try for ourselves and then finally offered up some beautiful plates of sushi grade toro (fatty tuna) and halibut especially for our wedding anniversary. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

I would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys sushi! Chef Taka was amazing! He came fully prepared with everything we could possibly need. The amount of fish he brought was great! We had plenty enough for a whole second meal. The fish was fresh and tasted amazing on our hand made rolls and sashimi. This class was super fun. Not too difficult. But the chef made it amazing. So kind and encouraging. He really did a great job of teaching and explaining. Can’t wait to take more classes!

I scheduled a private class with Chef Taka for my girlfriend and I and we had a blast! Taka was patient and taught us the process step by step. I'm confident that I can go out and make my own sushi rolls with all of the skills that I learned and that's saying a lot as the most complex dish I knew how to make going into this was spaghetti. I'll definitely be recommending Taka to some of my other friends who enjoy sushi and are curious as to how to make their own!

Chef Taka was absolutely incredible!! He was very professional, knowledgeable and so very nice. His sushi was amazing! I got this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and now we can both say we really know how to make sushi! He taught us how to cut the fish, make sushi rice, the whole nine yards- it was great!! Also, you get more sushi than you could dream of and it's all so so good! My boyfriend loved it!! Such a fun night! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a fun, interactive private sushi class! Thank you, Chef Taka!

I can't say enough kind words about Chef Taka. Our evening was truly memorable and I owe it all to chef's extraordinary warmth. So kind, organized, respectful, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all FUN! He has a great sense of humor and really made the night impossible to forget. I have recommended Chef Taka to countless friends and family and hope to take another one of his classes again!

I planned this experience for my husbands birthday. Chef Taka was amazing!! He was so friendly and brought ALL of the supplies to my house. I said he could use whatever he wanted from our kitchen, but he came equipped with it all on his own. Chef walked my husband and I through every step of the way. We were able to help with the prep, cut the fish on our own, make the rice and so much more. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Chef Taka for your next fun or special occasion. Thank you Chef! My husband said it was one of the best birthday gifts he's received.

Chef Taka and his sushi experience were both absolutely amazing! The level of his professionalism and preparedness could not have been better and the fact that we were actively involved in every step of the sushi making process (except for the clean up!) leaves us confident that we could legitimately make our own sushi at home. A fantastic guy and an incredible experience. Thanks Chef Taka!!

Absolutely amazing. Worth every penny and it was so much fun! Chef Taka is so experienced and came early to set everything up. The food was delicious and fun to make, he even made a special roll for us!
Booked the menu Create Your Own Sushi! with Chef Taka
Chef Taka was unbelievable! I set this up as a birthday present for my girlfriend and he definitely made it a an experience to remember. He came early to set up with everything we needed and made sure to accommodate all of our request so that everyone was happy. He even made a special vegetarian roll on the spot when he found out she didn't eat meat, but then made the most delicious special roll with Wagyu beef for me. All of the ingredients were super fresh and he was incredibly helpful in leading us through everything. He was very knowledgeable and taught us about why sushi restaurants do things certain ways. He also took pictures that he sent us afterwards, included an amazing salad and miso soup, and left us with plenty of leftovers after cleaning up. Overall, we were both very happy!

This was my first cooking class I've ever taken, and I loved the class! Chef Taka arrived early to prep and was very nice and helpful. The class was very interactive, and I'm happy to say that I now know how to make sushi. I very much enjoyed making the sushi rolls, and we had more than enough for leftovers. I definitely will take another class with Cozymeal in the future.
Booked the menu Create Your Own Sushi! with Chef Taka
Chef Taka was amazing. He arrived early and had everything fully set up for the class right on time -- he brought everything from aprons to knives and cutting boards. We learned so much about all the prep that goes into sushi making and he made all of our favorite special requests. It was quite a feast and we had SO much left over, but we were all amazed at how much more delicious the sushi was freshly made than in any restaurant we had been to. Chef Taka was warm, gracious and very helpful and we will absolutely have him back in our home again. Don't miss this wonderful experience and delightful meal!

We had a great time learning how to make sushi from chef Taka. He took his time explaining every little detail, came very well prepared, arrived early. He has a very easy going personality and is a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend him to a friend :) I scheduled this class as a Valentine's gift for my husband. He was very happy. Overall a great success :) sushi was delicious by the way, even approved by my picky parents who helped us eat the huge amount of sushi we prepared during the class.
